So /fit/, all I ever hear talk of is bulking and cutting. Is there a way to get fit without going through all of this? I don't want to be XBOX HUEG or LOLZOMGRIPPED, just healthy. Right now I am what I guess you would call skinny fat. What would happen if I began 5x5, ate at BMR or maybe even a 500 calorie deficit with OATZ and lotsa PROTEIN, and did HIIT on off days?

your muscles can't grow as much on a calorie deficit. that is why you have to bulk then cut.

cutting is easier than bulking.

sage because your poast makes you sound liek a faggot

In 6 weeks I've shed most of my fat, gained a substantial amount of strength and some muscle mass by only eating my BMR required amount of calories. I have gained around 10lbs of muscle on a SS 5x3 (also play competitive squash 2x a week), so yes it does work. If you are just starting on SL with empty bar (as per spreadsheet) use minimal rest between sets, break a sweat. You could also try anabolic diet, in which you consume minimal carbs, forcing your body to burn fat for energy, this is hard though...good luck

weight does fluctuate daily 5-7lbs, but that weight is from last night pre workout. Could be a huge turd, food, or ..surprise some ppl gain easily!

you wrote 10lbs of muscle, you gain 15 pounds in total and you think 10 of those pounds were of lean muscle mass?
