I’ve lost 50 pounds

Man am I proud of myself. Worked my ass off the last 13 months and for like 8 of those months, I felt like I was getting nowhere. But once I got over that hump, I’m always noticing now

My new goal has been losing 60 pounds

Can’t seem to gain any muscle

Been getting hella compliments from men and woman about how great I look but a couple saying I gotta gain muscle. Not sure why I’m gaining like zero muscle lol

Regardless, I am damn proud of myself for the weight loss

yo im basically skinny fat, ive been in a cut for a while now, lost a lot of inches but the stubborn belly still not going away. My arms are small af tbh so I really want to start eating more

If i eat at tdee, with a 1g protein/body weight, can i still lose fat and gain muscle?

if you eat at TDEE you’d be eating at maintenance so with 1g of protein per pound of body weight and focusing on progressive overload in your lifts you could, it’d be a slow recomp so be patient but it’s possible. this video breaks it down

from my experience the LAST place fat leaves is the belly its annoying as f***, for me it’s the last place I lose fat and the first place I gain it

do you track your lifts? on an app, journal, notes app etc? what you want to do is possible but you gotta be strict with tracking. say you’re benching 45 lbs, you should make sure you can get to 8, then 12, then 15 (or just try to add one rep every time you bench until you hit 15) then add 2.5 pounds and restart

I havent even been strictly tracking my macros, just try to hit 1500 cals with as much as protein as I can, so once i start eating at maintenance I will track cuz i dont wanna get fat again

Regarding the benching 45lbs and doing 8 > 12 > 15, is that for the first set and hitting 12-15 reps with ease?

Also, I thought about eating and training at tdee, cuz ppl say you get muscle and with more muscle, your metabolism gets faster and you lost fat more? Im literally just skinny fat (just lower belly left) and tired of cutting and wanna get stronger

What do u suggest? Continue the cut or try something new

so this is how I set up my progressive overload. I’m gonna use squats for my example

earlier this year i started from ground zero with squats to work on my form. I do 4 sets of squats, usually try to aim for 15 for the first two sets and 12 for the second two. Last two sets I always go a little heavier than the first but how heavy I go depends on the ease of the first two. when I started it went like this

135 lbs x 12
135 lbs x 12
140 x 10
140 x 10

everytime I squatted after that first time doing those 4 sets^ I would try to get 135 for 13 reps, if it was easy I’d push for 14, then 15 and so on. if it was too difficult and I felt myself failing I would stop.

if it was easy or if I got to 135 x 15 on the first two sets, the next time I squatted I’d push the weight up so it looked like this

140 lbs x 10
140 lbs x 10
145 lbs x 8
145 lbs x 8

and then keep trying to get one more rep or more weight in slowly. you can play around with rep ranges and what not but the general idea is that you’re trying to push yourself to either get a few more reps or one more rep, or a little more weight in each time, until it’s easy for you to do. then you move up
