As long as you aren't dick-skin lean you can "leangain" or "maingain", it's just slower. For gaining muscle you want a bit of fat, but basically between 10-25% and you should be fine to support muscle growth without needing to go into a calorie surplus for some time. Maintenance is a range, not a set number. You just don't really want to be in a deficit.

I'm off to a party in a minute. My first proper one since COVID kicked off.
Planning on eating my bodyweight in, well, whatever I can get my hands on.

I had a 5k run this morning.
Now I am eating pavlova. That's a recovery food, right?
Lots of egg white, sugar, cream & a few red fruits...

4.1 kg lost in 30 days. That’ll do.
Who’d have thought not drinking 4-6 pints of medium strength beer every evening would make a difference?
If I can keep it up I might actually be beach ready by the summer.

I've started going back to the gym for the first time since covid began, and it's made me feel pretty unfit. Sure I could probably run a half marathon tomorrow, but a minute on the watt bike absolutely fucking kills me.

😀
I've been doing 2-3 hrs a time on my wattbike of late due to tour de zwift.
You've probably been going full beans on hiit stuff though i guess, to my lesser wattage longer distance efforts !
On topic, got a pull up bar bolted into the garage for the boy which i am also using.
He can do at least 10, for my less impressive 5, but i am having to shift a bit more bulk than that teenaged beanpole.

If I can keep it up I might actually be beach ready by the summer. I am 6.1 kg down after 6 weeks for the same reason. It is scary the calories in alcohol. Figure will keep off the beer for at least 3 more kg and get to the 72g target which has been a long term dream. |

I’m also very much looking forward to the day they finally invent Beer Zero and I can start drinking it like it’s water

Excite! It's taken a year and two months to get here, but I finally have a big ol' Meccano set to play with!  Hopefully when it's put together it'll look something like this...  |

Tada... Slight issue with one of the pulleys rubbing on the protective surround, but I can fix that. Pretty happy on the whole, took forever to get the bolts at the right torque though. |

Much like most influencer stuff it’s unlikely that these people are actually taking these products, and instead have some kind of deal with ad placement and referrals going on. Look up that Ben Greenfield guy and he’s hawking every supplement on the planet pretty much.

I managed 200 pull ups and 200 dips this morning. It took me 2 hours and I'm totally fucked now (my hands in particular are wrecked from the pull ups). Absolutely smashed my previous personal best so fairly chuffed with that but I'm certainly not in a hurry to repeat it.

Old post, I hope user RyanDS has decided a more realistic target weight in the interim. |

Sadly not, but on the upside he's a shoo in for the upcoming Borrowers remake.

I broken the 10 mile mark and made it to 20k this morning.
I thought the route I’d chosen who be half marathon length and considered running around the back of the estate to make up the difference but I was too knackered to pick myself back up and start going again once the momentum was draining. It the original route had made the distance by itself I’m pretty sure I’d have handled it.

Starting to get some fitness back, but I think I'm going to leave it a couple of weeks before getting back into the weights in any major way. Post COVID it's definitely my cardiovascular fitness that has diminished a lot more than my strength.

Post COVID it's definitely my cardiovascular fitness that has diminished a lot more than my strength. It's easier for us to assess with some pics. God bless. |
