What annoys me is the belly getting bigger as well. What I worry bout is gaining weight too fast,probably what I get is fat(dirty bulk). Is it truth? QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Mar 13 2014, 12:04 PM) what if skinny like me? No muscle to cut to, too fat to bulk... belly getting bigger...it is not "probably", it already show that you gain alot of fat. to decide bulk or cut. it is depend on you. cut only bulk or bulk only cut. see the mirror and decide yourself :-)

I went to a vacation, pretty much eat what I wanted (mostly sea food and rice). I came back and weighted myself at 70.3kg I guess eating near/at maintenance helped normalize things a bit. I'll go back to eating at 1600 calories per day for 2 more weeks to see if I'm gonna progress further. My strength level didn't drop much throughout my cut as well. I've considered eating slightly more on my training days but the thing is, I train pretty much 6 days/week. Takkan I eat more 6 days/week lol. I'm now experimenting on eating more only on my worst body part day (push day for me). If I don't progress further after another plateau, I'll try dropping my calories deficit to 1500 calories per day. Thanks a lot man. abang, 6x per weeks is too much. you can try gym every alternative day. your body need rest and heal too. rest day = calories deficit. more rest day = burn fat more easy right?

Push/Pull/Legs/Off/Push/Pull/Legs/Off - repeat hmm I've never though about going even lower after 1600 calories. Is it seriously not gonna affect my over health? as long as you get your nutrition right, and you didn't feel weak. why not? Big calories deficit (600-800 kcal) for long term, continuously, of course will affect the health. as for 6x gym per week, it is depend on individual. for my opinion, i will do 3 times per week, which is (Push/Rest/Pull/Rest/Legs/Rest/ = Repeated). Rest day = Calories Deficit 20~40%. just my 2 cent. it is depend on individual. it work for me might not work for you. Monitor your progress and do adjustment when necessary.
