thts probably a better one than i have l0l

I got one. Too scared to use it. Don't mind using it for benching as support cos I can do the roll of shame if I need to but if you fuck up on a squat on your own you're in trouble lul.

what do you do if you need a spotter?

with squats u dont need a spotter, if u squat deep style tht is

u jus push ur chest out, let go and drop the bar behind u. safer to fail than almost any exercise. olympic lifters do it tht way, they never use power cages etc

[RoadManNoOldMan]

just a quick question.....how many carbs are you man taking a day on this no/low carb thing?

[Xtra P]

tbh I don't count my carbs in intake, I just try to avoid it as much as possible and also hit the treadmill erryday after my weight training.

[Shanger]

i try keep em as low as possible too. would ideally always be below 30-50g a day, cant remember where i read it, and it depends on many factors, but thts a safe number to always stay in ketosis

I'm not too clued up on sports science and shit.

But if you were trying to bulk up, wouldn't that require you to have a calorie surplus, therefore after you've done your weights, you'd be burning off valuable calories?

Not questionning you, just asking if you could explain the benefit of a cardio/weights mixture training routine.

I'm not trying to bulk up, I'm going for a lean muscular physique.

Something like this n/h

your gonna have to bulk to achieve that sort of physique realistically

Well I do eat a decent amount of food, just no carbs/sugars, a lot of beef/chicken and veg.

I figured, as long has I'm eating a lot of protein and lifting heavy I'll achieve my goal?

I'm no expert so all advice is welcomed.

[Shanger]

u can still be at a cal surplus whilst being low carb

meaning u can bulk whilst still being low carb. even if ur doin cardio can still be at surplus with enough food @iKlozzle

Whats the best way to go about this

Is it as simple as eating bigger portions of meat veg etc ?

eat as much protein as you want but it won't necessarily do anything for you other than going to waste lol, imo you need the carbs to bulk up if you just track how/when and what carbs your having you'll be fine, a bulk is obviously increasing calories in which are mostly gonna be from your carbs, minimal carbs you'll struggle to put size on.

gotta be real careful with the veg, cos eatin lots of veg or fruit isnt low carb

but yeh more meat more eggs etc

theres other easy ways to hit cal surplus too i hear, like drinkin shots of coconut oil which is really good for u.

i know guys have made strength gains on this shit.

no reason scientifically y u cant gain size, only loss from cuttin carbs is tht glyocen stores get depleted, but then ur body can make its own through gluconeogenesis, plus fat is a very efficient energy source so its all bless

ive never bothered lookin for examples of guys who packed on mass with low carb but im sure theres lots of examples, i'll find out for myself soon enough once done with cut. kyo is bulking on this shit now, when hes not stuffin his face with large cookies l0l @Prophet Dan .

But I'm trying to lower my body fat around the stomach area and ftr I do eat plenty of complex carbs through carrots, sweetcorn, fruits etc, just no heavily starchy foods like bread, pasta, potatoes etc

Edit: just seen @Shanger s post lul

Can't give up fruit and veg darg, I just can't lol
