Incline Bench Ys are underrated imo

can somebody explain the logic behind bulking first & then cutting? dont u lose muscle while losing weight so ur back to square 1?

In most instances you need to gain weight to pack on muscle, in a lean bulk you won't really need to cut because you didn't aggressively put on both fat and muscle. If you dirty bulk and then cut you will lose some muscle that you put on but if your training and eating enough protein youll keep alot of it

if your protein intake is high enough on the cut you won't lose much muscle at all

so if i gain 1 kg (maybe 2) per month thats considered a lean bulk?

id say 1 for sure is a lean bulk. Thats my current method. It's slow but after 4 months lifting It's paying off. I started off kind of skinny fat and I still think I have a bit of fat but there's more muscle and shape too me now.

alright i can shoot for 1 kg. so eating at a maintenance level doesnt pack on muscles as much im assuming?

greg doucette talks about main gaining, but I think its more for when youre at the weight you wanna be and then body recomp

its funny to hear such a buff dude with a high pitched voice. how does that happen

He does it for the videos, he has a deeper voice regularly if you look up some of his older vids

Trying to figure out how to protect my rotator cuff and back, those seem to be most prone to injury, I used to get pins and needles and now after doing some intense pressing my left back rotator cuff is feeling a full pain. Guess I just need to stretch it out and warm it up the most

Eating at maintenance WILL pack on just as much muscle as a surplus especially if you’re still a ‘new lifter’. By new I mean under 3-5 years of proper training. At the advance stage it becomes a bit more debate-able but even then as long as you’re above a certain body fat percent(for most people this would be 9-15%) you can still gain muscle on maintenance.

you still eating cottage cheese at night ?

I know your booty stank

Never said I did that. Tf

id love to sneak in some cottage cheese in my chiapudding but the texture doesnt work

Need other body weight shoulder exercise that isn’t pike push-up
