Jerking off to porn.

when there is no more muscle sore after workout, does it mean we need to add more weight? for example, bicep curl?

It means, change things up. Your body is getting used to it.
Or it's simply too light. You failing at 8 - 12 reps?

yep. i normally do 10 reps, 3 sets for every workout that im doing.

3 sets of 10 reps, that 3 sets, are u struggling to get all 10 reps or are u sailing through it?

normally i start to fail on the 3rd set, as it gets harder to lift. but after doing the 3rd set, there is no more pain/sore.

its normal to be fatigued by the 3rd set.

but i dont get what you mean by after doing the 3rd set, there is no more pain/sore.

u mean for the last 2 sets of 10, u experience pain /sore every rep?

D.O.M.S. usually comes AFTER your weight training.

nevertheless, soreness should be too particular to be gauged on whether you've trained enough or not. Most of the time, it's just because your body has gotten used to the routine.

i mean after the training. normally a day after workout i will soreness to my muscles. but now no more.

Try changing your routine then.

I'm confused.
The body will burn fats as fuel when its low on calories

The other thing is, the body will take muscle and turn it into fuel if there is no calories in the body.

So when will each scenario happen?

Both proteolysis and lipolysis happen hand in hand when you are calorie-deficient. Thats why you inevitably lose muscle bulk as you cut. Ofcos there are ways to go around this. Supplement is one of them. BCAA is especially beneficial during cutting, in maintaining the muscle mass. Macronutrient manipulation can be helpful too. By supplying sufficient/constant flow of protein you make sure the muscle is tipping towards the proteosynthesis of the balance of proteosynthesis/proteolysis. Net effect? You lose more fat than muscle as you cut.

Thanks alot for ur replies mahdes and van.takawa. =) i will seek more guidance from the fitness coach when i fly to cruzeiro next month=) if possible, i will share my experience soon

So basically just maintain the amount of protein either by meat or protein shake and low on calories will be sufficient to minimize muscle loss during cutting?

Provided you are weight-training ofcos, not just pure cardio. Nutrition timing too.

I eat like an insane b!tch post workout. That's how I counter the catabolic effects of cutting. =P

how long did you guys jog during cutting phase, in terms of time?

im doing 30 mins of jogging, 5-6 days a week. am i doing it right?

How much cardio were you doing when you were not cutting?
