Then cut. Do you have abs already or are chronically underweight? Since this is the way I do things, my guide will be good enough to take you pretty darn far. Find your estimated caloric maintenance. The nature of the program leads to fluctuations in weight. But make sure to keep a few things in mind……… If you are too aggressive, you WILL lose strength and muscle mass. A Set your training day calories. Losing weight is easy. Losing pure fat is a bit trickier.
Train hard and heavy AND 2. Ideally, you would set your training day calories to maintenance, exactly. To set this number, estimate your fat-free mass. C Set your training day fat target.
Your significant other will thank me. The more weight you have to lose, the better you will probably do with more fat in your diet. A good rule of thumb seems to be the following equation: LBM x 0. D Set your training day carbohydrate target.
A Set your rest day calories. Your rest day calories are decided by your overall deficit. Yes, that means four days per week will suck. But what do you want? Big Macs or abs? B Set your rest day protein target. Simple enough. They help with fullness, micronutrients, and regularity. D Set your rest day fat target. Again, Leangains is a calorie and macronutrient cycling program. Plus, it flat out adds variety to our food and allows us some sanity.

All calorie counters are approximations. Regardless of how many decimal places worth of carbs MyFitnessPal tells you are in your Use the calculated values as a solid approximation. If you need help with this, ask. If you need ideas on what to eat, here is a bunch of healthy low calorie foods. The below serves as a practical and realistic expectation for a 6 to 12 month program.
This exaggerated change is primarily due to changes in water weight, as well as the initial shock your body experiences from the abrupt change in calorie intake. Rather, you should expect it. This calculator uses the equation recommended by Martin Berkhan in his book The Leangains Method to estimate your daily calorie and macronutrient needs.
You can use this bulking calculator regardless of whether or not you are on a leangains routine. It generally results in a lower estimate of your maintenance calories and a higher protein intake.
To use this approach to calculate your TDEE , you multiply your body weight in kilograms by your calculated base value. This base value starts at 28 for men, and 26 for women.
Your base value is modified depending on your Stats — age, height, body fat, muscle mass, and steps taken each day. Paul weighs in at 80 kg, so that puts him at:. Below I explain the specifics of how each factor affects your base value. Note that the calorie calculator automatically does this math for you. This is just an explanation of the logic behind the calculator, for those interested. So a cm tall guy would keep his base value the same, while a cm tall woman would add 1 to her base value.
You can measure your body fat using a set of body fat calipers. How your body fat percentage alters your base value depends on your gender:. Note that Very Muscular is only applicable to males. Either way it is a constant number as opposed to a percentage.
This is an approximation for the number of steps you take each day. Or just add a set of static bar-holds after your workout B and C. How-To: Load up the bar and set the timer to 30 sec.
If you can last 30 sec or beyond, increase the load next time. If you already know the movements, use RPT. Variations of a movement appear to tax the body less than if said movement was trained twice. Common in powerlifting. It should be noted that this is theory, not science. RPT, as a program, works perfectly fine for training for the comp. The week before: train light, e. So, if you can x 8 RPT, you do 85 x 8 that week. Never, these days. Maintenance is a waste of time.
GHR and Reverse Hypers are powerlifting staples assistance. Hardly fuckarounditis. Nor are front squats, trap bar deads, or clean and jerks. I did SS when beyond intermediate, ate about calories a day, and put on a lot of body fat.
Put on some strength— but, again, put on a LOT of body fat. Did I do the program perfectly? But I used the same dedication on a bulk prescribed by Martin and put on similar levels of strength with FAR less body fat gain. Needless to say…you have my answer. That is absolutely correct! If you are maintaining lifts and dropping body weight, then you are losing body fat and accomplishing the goal at hand.
The simultaneous gains are fun while they last! No- simply train and hope things grow evenly. Often times they do so without affecting appearance. You will, however, always be stronger and feel a greater muscle-mind connection in your dominant side.
As a minimum, you will start looking too thin around height in cm — For women? Absolutely it will. People often think they are separate, but the bottom line is that if you are getting stronger, relative to bodyweight, the muscle will come along with it. In truth, bulking should be a lot slower than most people take it recommended Macros are in previous Patreon article posts , but strength gained in proportion to body weight is the best measure of a successful bulk, above and beyond overall body weight at the beginning and end.
Also of note: Maintaining the same lifts while losing weight is another strength indicator, and will make you look bigger through muscular definition even though you are losing weight.
A momentary and physiological benefit for fat loss, absolutely. The opposite for muscle gain. Whether either state results in a meaningful difference from the same state fed is unknown. As for which is better—completely up to your preference. Embrace being flexible. The good news is that the program WILL take care of the development though!
Bicep size will become a byproduct of strong chins, rows, and deadlifts, too.
