Typically most bulk in winter & cut after . How y’all feel about doing it every other month instead of an extended period ?

bulk /cut /bulk /cut etc until spring

I started bulking(only about a month into it) as I felt I got my stomach down good enough but idk . That cut looking good right about now as imo I could prob knock my stomach down just a lil more . It’s slightly over my shorts just barley .

@360dagod think you might have been right when you said keep cutting

I will say this the strongest I’ve ever been

Seems counter productive to go back and forth every four weeks.

Guess I’ll stick with the bulk since I already started . This damn stomach tho


At least I know it will all pay off once I cut again

My gym opening 24hrs again starting the 12th

Now I won’t have to feel like I gotta rush at certain times

whats the best program for getting back into training? PPL or 5x5? Both seem like good looks given I can’t see myself committing to more than 3 days/wk for strength training just yet.

At three days a week, I'd recommend either Lyle McD's GBR (it's an U/L), SL or ICF 5x5, or perhaps even on of the beginner 5/3/1 3-day templates.


I never recommend anyone run any PPL template at less than 5 days a week (6 is ideal) as it drops the frequency down too much and most PPLs aren't going to be as beneficial for someone like you who may be running them with less volume anyways. No real point in running a program that only hits a muscle group once a week if you're natty IMO.


(FWIW, my homie just switched off PPL at my insistence, as his workouts were taking less than 2 hours so I knew he was sandbagging them shyts. My PPL sessions usually go for 40 working sets or so .)

Ours went 24 hours a couple of weeks ago. Felt good hitting the gym earlier and getting it out of the way.

If you doing them reps right, you're powering the gym

Already regretting it, and I haven't even take one scoop yet
An African diet is already loaded with enough carbs....should've just bought the 5lbs whey container for the same price tbh
@Serious used to eat 4 big meals back in college, and I was progressing very well, thing is, I don't have the time for 4 anymore, so I have to add a shake to the 3 meals I eat.

Truth is you’re probably not going hard enough in the gym, drinking enough, and taking days off.


Like to gain size I went heavy, I mean damn near max. All i did was compound lifts no extra shyt. Squat, deadlift, barbell rows 2-3 times a week.


Also diet, you need to be eating real food no fake chicken nuggets but chicken breast and steak. A cheat code is milk post workout.


It’s very simple, but cutting corners is why you’re not gaining. If you can’t afford to bulk then don’t do it.
