15% is normal/fit for a regular person and you just need to be active in terms of walking and eating well so to speak.

Elite athletes hover around 10%...and body builders dip below that number. if dude loss 40lbs he loss muscle.

Exactly. This is why i'm sure there is some validity to the HGH rumours. There is no way a person of Lebron's size was able to lose so much MUSCLE weight so quickly unless he was sick, or his muscles are shrinking in response to the removal of some exogenous agent (i.e. hormones). Lebron was never over 10% body fat at ANY point in his career, so for him to lose that much weight it had to definitely include muscle.

This dude is going to get exposed this year unfortunately. I hope his shooting is on point.

macros=macronutrients...they are carbs...fats and proteins...based on an individuals genetic composition and activity level people tend to need less of one, (or two categories) and more of the other to reach their goals...

determining how many carbs to eat is a bytch and a half, because when you lift you want to ensure you don't lose the energy needed to perform

...if i'm not mistaken, (i'm probably just echoing some broscience bullshyt ahead so i'm sure a coli breh will correct as needed) your carbs are your body's preferred source for energy...they are stored in what's called glycogen stores...as you burn energy through moderate to strenuous activity...your body uses up your carbs...then once they're all about gone...it starts using your fat for energy resulting in weight loss. it seems ideal except for nikkas who lift...we don't want to deal with losing strength so we tend to have to find that sweet spot of getting enough carbs for lifting but not too much that we look fat while doing it...

as far as how this shyt is affecting you...there's a million and one places online that will ask for shyt like your age, activity level, height, weight, etc and they'll all give you conflicting numbers about what you need to eat, how much of it and why...you really have to figure out what diet will work for you...nonetheless the concept of weight loss is simple, burn more than you put in...i just suggest adding weight lifting to your regime as well :whoa:
Also for me while on Keto i rarely get hungry throughout the day like i did on a normal diet, plus had more energy too. Went from having to have coffee or caffeinated drinks to get through the day to having to being alert throughout the whole day. But with the rapid weight loss in the first three weeks, almost all of that is from water weight when carbs get cut out of the diet.

yeah i forgot to mention this @Thatrogueassdiaz ...each gram of a carbohydrate accounts for 3 grams of water...so when you start dieting..you'll experience heller weight loss in the first week or so, (like 5-10 pounds) that shyt is just water weight...

ok thanx. Now I just need a good gym routine @BuddyOmar. I don't lift weights like that. I don't even know how often I should be going to the gym. I used to go 3 days a week. But I mean that's a waste of time if I'm not putting in the required amount of work or eating right.

exactly breh...your physical gains/what you see in the mirror come outside of the gym...nikkas think that working out 5 days a week at 2 hour sessions justifies scuffing 3500-4500 calories of dense and unhealthy bullshyt down their mouths (n/h) the reality is that you need a good/solid diet and good rest in between training sessions to allow your body to repair and grow...honestly though you're gonna have to start getting a training split/routine down...over time as you start seeing the results you'll starting lifting like that.

There's a million schools of thought on this. Some people do 4 day splits, some people do three-day splits, some people do full body workouts.

Personally, I got great results from a basic three day split. I would do Chest/triceps, biceps/back/shoudlers, and then I would do a leg/forearm/accesory day. SO three days.

The key is just do heavy work with barbells or just efficient compounds. Dips, pull-ups, deadlifts, squats, bench press are all great exercises.

3-4 days a week is perfectly fine. Make sure you're getting rest though because that's where you build and recover.

I'll link you a really good program that I don't personally use but I hear people get decent results from it.

This guy is awesome, prolly one of the best non-broscience people on youtube for fitness.

Check out his channel here:

I honestly don't have any affiliation for him, but I admire what he does so much I'm willing to share his shyt with you because I think you'll find it beneficial. He opened my eyes to so much stuff about supplements and working out in general.

Right now, however, I'm transitioning from pure weight lifting to more military-based exercises. I'm still doing weights but no where near as heavy as I was. I'm not really building any muscle since I'm in a caloric deficit at the moment, so right now I'm focusing on improving my endurance. I'm doing a lot more running, but I'm sticking with my general workout but I'm incorporating a lot of bodyweight exercises i.e. pushups, crunches, pull-ups thrown in with my usual split.

I'm training for a goal which is to hopefully improve my long distance running and my muscular endurance. Your goal is whatever you want it to be. If losing weight and building muscle is your goal, there's nothing wrong with getting into weights even if you're fat/overweight.

You will build muscle either way, but if you're training for aesthetics, you can do a lot more isolation work, but if you're not a drug user I think you'll benefit the most from doing heavy compounds. That's what worked for me.

:pachaha: Shots fired at my whey. This shyt is good tho breh I got dat dere Phase8 shyt's got 26 g per scoop :whew:

Honestly I got so bored with Gold standard I ended up trying other wheys. Gold standard is pretty good tho. I was fukking around with Gold standard for a while, then I tried BSN's Syntha-6, then I went back to ON, then I tried Vitaminshoppe's brand :scusthov: and here I sit fukking with that Phase8

Kinda miss my reckless bulking where I'd ingest like two scoops and then eat a full dinner :to:
