Not serious....yet, but trying to get there!

If you're cutting, there's no rationale for "confusing" or "shocking" the muscle. Those are euphemisms for stimulating growth, and nobody's growing any muscle while running a caloric deficit.

Not unless they're a complete novice, or on AAS (steroids).

If you're cutting, you'd want to keep your workouts fairly short and heavy, although I hear you on the joint pain. You do need a little higher-rep work now and again or you wear out.
 
Depends how you cut. I don't like starving, and I love to eat, too.

But low carb, high fat is very satiating.

And pats of butter dabbed on a steak are delicious. ;)

That was how I lost most of the weight when I first started trying to lean out.

Worked a charm.

Well I've never done a diet like that.
It would be awesome if I could have abs like yours in your avi, but I doubt that would ever happen naturally :(
even if I got close to it ;)
 
Mine happened naturally, and the way I'm describing diet and training is the way I got them.

Keep in mind, I was a fat jogger before I figured this shit out. I struggled with my weight for almost twenty years, and was at 40% bodyfat at the age of 38 when I started.

Once I wrapped my mind around dieting off the weight, and training to retain muscle - as opposed to trying to train off the weight - everything finally clicked.

Dieting on low carbs and high protein and fat was CRITICAL to my success, because it suppresses hunger. I can NOT bear to feel the kind of hunger that comes along with a low fat, "six meals a day", "oatmeal for breakfast" kind of diet plan. For me, it's just too miserable to endure.

Oh....
well Im definitely not running a caloric deficit, I dont think
 
Ah, then you'll be fine.

You will be a lot happier with your results once you define a clear goal, though.

Interesting,
WOW! may I ask your age now?..... I hate running/jogging! How old were u when u started training?
I feel ya on the diet misery!
 
I was thirty eight.

I had been fat for almost twenty years.

And I was forty two in that picture. I did minimal cardio, high-fat dieting, heavy low-rep workouts, almost no direct ab work, and the hungriest I had to deal with was "peckish".
 
Whoa..........hmm, maybe I could do it. Idk, I am really happy right now, but summer is right around the corner. What would a typical day/diet be like?
 
Depends how you do it.

What are your maintenance calories, and how much lean mass do you carry?
 
Muscle Gelz Transdermals
IronMag Labs Prohormones

Not sure..... is there a way to tell my lean mass?
 
Please read the link in my sig on getting started, and report back on the questions I ask, k?
 
Hey Girl - give the diet a try... it's only for 12 days.. anyone can do it for 12 days. Seriously.. it's totally worth it. I was resistant at first also, but then I said.. "what the heck". :thumb: I dropped the weight I wanted to before our vacation.

12 days? what diet is this?
Im still trying to answer Built's questions, no diet yet.
I'll try something for 12 days :thumb:
 
I was talking about Lyle McDonalds PSMF diet.. check out Balin's PSMF log here. Not sure if this is the diet Built is suggesting, but it's the one I did.

Hey that's awesome, I'm so glad it worked so nicely for you, too!
 
One thing at a time. But yeah, it's a nice kick in the pants when you're ready for it.
