Thread: Seeking Any Advice

I would cut the next 2 months....it is summer. then come Sept go for size, you do not need to bulk!!! You can keep the same body fat and gain muscle mass over the next year ( 10-15Lbs).

Alright, so how should i go about cutting?

First read this and it's links
Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance

You have to figure out what you have been eating the last few months....take a guess and write it down, then figure out the Protein/fat/carb totals for every day. Then did you lose aft, gain fat or stay the same on your diet. If you have gained fat then you have to cut the carbs and fat down a little.

alright that helps alot. I've been trying to eat alot healthier lately aka eating more meat, and not snacking as much. But, ill stick with a list of the foods i found under that link you sent me. Should i actually keep count of how much of the food i take in each meal? or could i just go by one of the other diets that have been posted in other topics?

www.fitday.com to calculate ur calories and every thing and follow foreman's advice he's one of the most knoledgable here cut for the next months and when summer is over u'll have a big time to bulk to the next summer cause u must have small bf% at that time ......good luck

there is stickies in the diet forums and training forums read them well too.....

Don't forget to continue lifting heavy while you cut too. This will help insure that you maintain your lean mass. Don't fall for that high reps for definition bullshit that people spout all over the place.

However, diet is going to be key for you. Definitely make your way over to the diet & nutrition section and check out the stickies. Counting calories is a must for optimal alteration of body composition!

Sounds like a good plan to me. Ill continue to eat healthy and record how much i take in each day.

what if he was to bulk the whole summer and start cutting in sept?..

Well, just going by how its summer, i would rather cut now, and then bulk up over the winter, and keep the same low body fat. I've been on a pretty good diet for a week now along with lifting and HIIT, and i can already see some progress. Thanks for the help guys.

You got a good chest and shoulders especially traps but i think u need to work on Ur lats post Ur back and legs to if u can.

alright ill see if i can get some more pictures on here, the thing about the lats that sucks is i dont have a lat pull down thing on my gym in my basement, its like the only thing im missing. And im going away to college at the end of summer, so a membership wouldnt be worth it, and i can workout at that gym too.

Do rows and chinups/pullups. I hardly ever use the lat pulldown machine.

i never use them too , i always thought it's easily cheated , by rear delts and traps ...also pull ups and chins have many other benefits like grip strength ...

Pullups can be tough for us older and heavier guys. But with his weight I agree 100%

unfortunately i dont have a pullup bar either, but i do rows now, i just put them into my workout a few days ago. The bent over rows hurt my back though, so i only stick to the one arm rows.

Pullup bars are like $12. Or just use a door jamb or something.
