IC Stop Making Excuses and Let's Get Healthy Thread

so ive been doing the bench(incline, decline, and flat) and my chest still aint got that cut. i need that cut. you know when you wear a tight shirt and you see that line. what am i doing wrong?

I know I'm gonna get some Nosigns for this but I've noticed better cuts when using the incline/decline/military press/wide chest machines vs. the bench press.

Lighter weight with more reps bring u that cut, heavier weights build mass

Do pushups/pullups/cals to work on that cut

That explains so much though. I have a big chest and can never get cut and all I've been doing is incline, regular bench and chest flys

To get a cut chest, there are two things you must take into consideration: muscle development and fat levels. The more chest development you have and the lower your fat levels, the more cut your chest will look. Period.

Jumping rope has definitely gotten my stomach flatter. BUT, my squat has went down from the constant tension on the legs. Fuck it, bout to have some Bacardi. Btw, what's the word on alcohol and muscle growth?

What's your squat looking like fam? I know your bench press been strong. Last time I tried to max out on squat I hit 590 lbs. That was last year though.

@Stew

What's your height and weight? We can determine your BMR and add calories from that base point. It's easier than you think.

6'1 160

So about 1800 calories a day to maintain your weight. Since you're a hard gainer I don't see why you can't take in 2500-3000 calories per day, coupled with a solid lifting program. Like @Black_Samson said, take advantage of your body type. You could put on some good muscle.

Ok and here his the most tedious issue. I have to keep track and write this shit down to find out how much I'm exactly takin in huh @Mastery @Black_Samson

Myfitnesspal app makes that part easy

It's about how much weight...heavy gets you bigger, lighter creates that tone

It's all about learning to love the workouts you do, if you do not enjoy working out you are doomed to fail, also don't be looking in the mirror at the start because you will only be disappointed when you see nothing has changed, it takes time to see the results.

Aight, again, what's the verdict on drinking making gains? My lifts have been increasing I think because of the creatine, but I've been drinking (1 or 2 cups of vodka) every 3 days about. What's the word?

Ive been in the gym every weekday for a month straight now at 5AM in the morning before work. Seeing some muscle gains, but still got some trimming to go. I havent worked out since highschool and with my weight loss i am insanely weak compared to what i used to be able to lift, but ive progressively been lifting more and more each week. Considering trying to wake up earlier to go to the gym to get some more time in there. I know i can probably push myself a bit harder.

I dont do anything too crazy, but Monday, wednesday, and friday are my lift days with a mile-mile and a half warm up on the treadmill.

Tuesday and Thursday I do only Cardio on the Bike, Treadmill, or stairmaster then end with some kettlebell swings. Might add some more Core exercises in on those days.
