Preliminary FAQ

Cutting

Unlike weight loss techniques, cutting does not have a particular Goal weight or Start weight, and is more focused on body fat percentage and general aesthetics.

This is done by reducing the levels of fat storage on your body at the best ratio between fat loss and muscle loss.

This subreddit will focus on different cutting techniques, impressive macro-recipes, progress pics and ways to retain motivation during the cut.

Protein intake?

Hey shredditors,, I just started working out about 6 months ago and just a couple months ago talking protein powder. The protein powder has been a game changer for muscle mass! I was just wondering, do you guys intake high protein daily or just have protein shakes on days you go to the gym?

When Does Cutting No Longer Suck?

I'm currently 199lbs, 5'5, 17M, and am on a cut. I did a crazy bulk for the past 3 years and I estimate I put on about 30-40lbs of lean mass. At the end of the bulk, I was 250. I'm getting pretty lean, with quad, shoulder, and bicep seperation, but my sleep and libdo is starting to suffer. My goal is to get to 175-180, and I'm thinking I'll have Abs by then. What do I do? I bench 200lbs, deadlift 315, and squat 270.

Is this growth good?

I’m 23 and a half male, started working out 5 months ago, going gym for 3-4 days a week. Initially didn’t do much cardio, but for past 2 months, doing cardio regularly after weight lifting for 20-30 mins (7-13 percent incline, with 4-6kmph). Trying to eat healthy (I’m vegetarian), cut down fats and sugar (I have a sweet tooth so couldn’t cut it completely but is relatively lower than usual). Is this growth good? Or should I do more. Last measurement was taken yesterday ie 29th October, the weight is still the same however body ft has decreased. Any tips or suggestions will be really appreciated

187lbs to 154lbs (16 weeks)

https://preview.redd.it/0q5m3fkwekxd1.jpg?width=3564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16cce77dfc62ff1d5c9f250d046c2ee18ec7e0c3

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to share a transformation of my client Brandon because it's actually incredible.

The difference between these pictures was 16 weeks.

Starting weight - 85kg (187lbs)

End weight - 70kg (154lbs)

This was achieved through 5x workouts per week, a high protein diet that INCLUDED carbs. He was eating 5 meals a day, 3 main meals and 2 snacks.

This kind of transformation required a serious work ethic but I'm here sharing this with you all to hopefully inspire someone that they can achieve something like this too.

It's easy to get confused on what approach is correct but with the right plan, a good attitude and consistency you can achieve your dream physique.

Most effective core exercises

Hey everyone, I am a 36 year old guy (5'10") who has lost about 90 lbs over the last year. Now weigh 177lbs.

I have loose skin on my stomach, sides and lower back that's being removed in a body lift in March. Doc wants me to focus on core work from now until then.

Anyone have tips on what exercises I should do that will give me the best bang for my buck (in terms of building strength and definition) over the next 4 months until my surgery?

Thanks so much

what can i eat other than ground turkey and rice.

I've been eating 99 percent ground turkey and white minute rice everyday for dinner the past 3 or 4 months and I've managed to lose about 15 to 20 pounds. I like how fast and easy it is to make and it doesn't cost that much packages. I was wondering if there's anything else that's fast and easy + doesn't cost much weekly and that I wont get bored of. Probably a dumb question but oh well.
