Patrick Kane Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 For sure, I will help answer questions as they come along, I will not EVER preach one way is better than the other and try to tell people to go out and buy supplements they don't need. You basically said it right off the hop, it's a calorie deficit for losing weight and a surplus to bulk...calculating maintenance calories is key then you can add/subtract 250-500 cals from there. I am currently 184.6lbs down from 270lbs just by counting calories accurately, weighing food and being active, I will be putting together a portfolio of my progress once I get down to my goal just before I start a bulk to show I didn't lose lean body mass during my cut. The only 'supplement' i've had would be whey protein powder and I suppose caffeine since I drink a ton of coffee. PK, are you going to be deleting all broscience posts coming into this thread? People who say you 'HAVE' to do one thing i.e the 6 meal a day myth in order to lose weight? (Read: You can eat 6 meals a day if thats what you prefer but calorie deficit is what is necessary to lose the weight, not to 'keep your metabolism going') Link to comment

I R Baboon Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm in, I haven't been to the gym since I started working my new job so this will help me out a lot. Link to comment
Patrick Kane Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Do you guys want to start this a bit later maybe? I think its too short notice, and you guys can get a chance to buy a pull-up bar if you want, or get a cheap resistance band. Link to comment
:D Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Will be watching this with interest. Good luck to everyone. Link to comment
UMB Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I don't mind either way but it might buy me some time to persuade my parents to get me a resistance band without telling them I'm working out with a guy on a forum Link to comment

Kumquats Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd like to get into this too. My wife and I have already lost a little over 30 pounds each since February just from changing our food, intake and when. Eating smaller portions every 2 to 3 hours helped a lot since it's better for metabolism. I'm 6'2" 235 lbs and want to lose another 30 pounds by November. I have the p90x dvds so no worries about sending me those files. Link to comment

Scorevat Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 i'm going to be doing some weight lifting swell so i might not participate every single day, but will get some form of exercise. Some of my tips from personal training: -Make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep cuz when your sleeping is the most optimum time your body burns fats and produces muscle. -If your looking to gain muscle mass, make sure you get in a good dose of protein, and the best way is through foods, but an alternative is a protein shake **WARNING** be clear of what your buying when your spending money on protein shakes, some companies rip you off by false advertising. I personally use "gold standard 100% whey protein." one of the purest forms of proteins out there. -go till failure on body weight exercises you gotta push yourself to make gains ~good luck to all Link to comment
Patrick Kane Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good luck on your goals! Time to get my 8 hours. 2am-10am Link to comment

Hyzer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What do I do for squats then if I have no machine? Just do it until I basicly can't do it under my own strength anymore? Link to comment

Patrick Kane Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 The picture shows a machine because I couldn't find an image for bodyweight squats. Just do those for a bit, nice slow controlled motion will make it harder. 1 second down, 1 second up. Jump squats are good too, those are killer. Link to comment
