    Yeah definitely start tracking, at least so you have a general idea. You don't have to get so obsessive that you're weighing everything that goes in your mouth, but it's good to know approximately where you're at so you know how to adjust. Since you have a good amount of fat to lose, maybe try...

    I would guess your ravaging hunger is due to the fact you're on testosterone and working out. I want what you're on haha. Have you been tracking your food intake at all? How many calories are you getting per day and what is your macro breakdown on average? If you're still always hungry, it's...

    Article: The Most Intelligent Way to Warm Up

    @ everyone saying this is too much, you need to consider that only the first few ramp-up sets are higher in reps. The rest are very low reps and just get your body used to moving heavier weight. Christian Thibaudeau talks about this as well and calls them 'feeler sets'. It's very effective for...

    Which creatine to buy ?

    I agree with this. Find some straight Creapure (creatine monohydrate) and not only will it give you exactly what you need, but it will be way cheaper than all that other crap. I get mine from TrueNutrition: Invalid Link Removed Buy 10 of them (they come in smaller packets) and you will get...

    Sex,weights, and protein shakes. New permanent log

    Messed my back up a few months ago too and haven't deadlifted since so I feel your pain. It was one of my favorite lifts to do too. What really sucks is I got an MRI, X-ray, and several evaluations and they couldn't figure out a true diagnosis. I ended up getting an injection and it's a little...

    Should i take a week off?

    Good stuff. Sounds like that break from dieting is what you needed. Don't worry about the scale so much either. Go by what you look like and how you feel. If you're getting stronger and don't look like you're putting any fat back on, you're on the right track so stick with it for a while.

    Cholesterol and hrkit

    What exactly are the numbers that they are saying are "bad?" Statins are some of the most overprescribed meds out there and can have some nasty side effects. You may not even need them.

    Article: The Time-Restricted-Plus Diet

    Just another ploy to sell more Mag 10.

    Should i take a week off?

    Yeah he does have a solid foundation going and I can tell he's got a good frame for putting on muscle. That's part of where I'm coming from too. If he were a slob and looked like **** with his shirt off, I may say to cut some fat first, but it looks like his dieting has gotten him to a decent...

    Should i take a week off?

    I get what you're saying and yes he can do what he wants, but I think you can agree with me that if we could go back to 16, which is our prime growth years, we'd want someone telling us to use it to our advantage and giving us good advice. I was lifting at 16 and had a good program due to being...

    Should i take a week off?

    What's the point of being "defined" if you have no muscle tone? This is a bodybuilding/strength forum. If you don't wanna be big and strong, you wouldn't be here. It may be my opinion, but I would assume that I share that opinion with 99% of the people here. I don't know too many bodybuilders...

    Should i take a week off?

    It seems like you're overthinking this Chris. First off, you're 16 and 175 pounds at 6'. Getting "abs" is the last thing you need to be worrying about right now. You're in your prime stage for growth and should be trying to get as strong and big as you can while minimizing body fat gain - not...

    when are you guys going to start your cut?

    I've already started my easing into the cutting phase. I was bulking from the end of August up until about a week ago, so I figured it was a good time to switch it up. Right now I'm just carb cycling, doing around 75g on off days and 250ish on training days. I plan on running UD 2.0 in a few...

    But why is that your goal? That's like saying "my goal for the next 3 months is to not drink any water." It makes absolutely no sense and is counter-productive.

    Any tips or suggestions on my current diet plan?

    What I'd recommend then is sticking to one plan for a while and not following too many opinions from others, as it will just distract you. If you have everyone from here telling you different things, a trainer telling you another, some ******* at the gym telling you something else, and you...

    Any tips or suggestions on my current diet plan?

    My question is why are you trying to cut when you weigh 170 at 5'10" and can barely bench 225? If I were you, I'd focus on gaining as much strength and muscle mass as you can before worrying about cutting. If there's no muscle underneath the fat, what is the point of losing the fat in the first...
