Might be worth having a look at. http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/uva9t/big_reddit_protein_powder_measurement_results/ Very interesting.. looks like I'll be getting optimum nutrition for my next batch of whey protein | ||

To improve you can also do 'ladder' style. 1, break, 2, break, 3, break... etc | ||

Starting strength, stronglifts and all dem programs are made for bulking, so a caloric surplus is part of the routine. Doing them on a deficit (regardless of volume) seems suboptimal to me, if not dangerous. I just run PHAT when I cut. I'm currently 93kg with quite a bit of mass compared to how I looked at 89kg so I'm happy with that. Arms/chest lagging behind though from all of those months of just 'squatz bro lolol'. It seems like girls mostly just want broad shoulders and ripped abs so as long as I cut for four weeks I should have a six pack unflexed. I stayed pretty lean on this bulk. | ||

I think when you are intermediate both routines are perfectly reasonable for a cut given they are quite low volume. Currently on a cut, benching 5 times a week, Squat x3x10 monday, Shrugs+pull ups wednesday, squat x1, x3x5 friday (more weight than monday), Saturday Deadlift x3x8, Pull Ups, machine row. You need to find what works for you/fits your goals. | ||

Two heavy days, 20+ sets 5x a week. Set any recent deadlift PR's btw GoTunk!? | ||

Cutting to 74kg (which is very low for me), with the goal of at least repeating my 81kg total 7 kg lighter and own forever the bench chilean record ;p | ||

However, I can't stand the thought of losing strength, I could maybe go a month or so without gaining but I really wouldn't be happy losing any significant strength. I have a couple of questions:
If strength levels make a difference, I squat 3x5 @ 167.5kg last session (low bar with belt). I'm kind of hoping the balls out option is viable and not a stupid idea, I think I'd quite enjoy it. Generally it is easier to lose weight by adjusting your diet. Humans are very energy efficient, but of course it is possible to just work off the extra fat without changing your diet if you have enough time. | ||

To answer you question for real though.... you really have to decide which one you want more right now. The strength will come back easy enough, but you are going to lose some of it if you want to lose weight for now. The other alternative is to put on a hell of a lot of mass so that your body fat % drops, even if you might not lose any absolute amount of bodyfat. | ||

I think I'm going to do it. I counted for breakfast, and bloody hell one bowl of cereal comes in at over 1k calories. I could've had a 300g pack of bacon (English bacon, pretty sure American bacon is a lot more fatty) and 4 slices of bread for that. I anticipate this being difficult. If I ate one bowl three times a day I'd be over my limit, wtf. I used http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ to estimate calories. | ||

If you're currently eating 6k a day (which I doubt), dropping it to 4k and then see what happens. If your bodyweight doesn't go down within 3 days, drop it another 500 cals untill you start losing 2~ pounds per week. You weigh 100kg's at 1.85~ right? Either you're juicing and fucking HUGE, or you're pretty fat. You'll enjoy the cut I think; I know I feel amazing when I'm lean. | ||
