at 18% I would go on a straight cutting cycle. Maintain the muscle mass you have with Keto, and just burn off that fat, then begin a clean bulk for maximum efficiency.

is your upper arm thicker than your head or is that just perspective?

That depends on the person. For example, my head is approximately 23.5" around, whereas my arm is closer to 19"

However, there are some bodybuilders who may have a 22" head, and 24" arms.

For the MOST part, however, your head is always larger than your arms in circumference. If you are thinking of hat sizes, these are not measured in inches around.


EDIT:

Also, fun fact...your upper leg will almost ALWAYS be larger than your head.

Hey there.

I need to know your height/weight/age/body fat %, as well as any food allergies or foods you will not eat.

Also, please provide me with your current workout routine.

Ray,

On the cyclic ketogenic diet should I take fiber pills?

Also, is it okay to do fasted cardio, or fasted HIIT? If so, which is better?

Thanks

Hello BIG RAY :))

I'm thinking about starting to cut down slowly for the upcoming summer. I'm putting emphasis on slowly, because last year I did my first cut and I dropped from 202 to 182 way too fast, which made me lose A LOT of strength, and I don't want that.:D

Currently 21 y/o, 6'0-6'1, 204-206 lbs, probably around 14-15% bodyfat. I was thinking to start with 3,300 calories and see how my body reacts to it (I'm naturally ectomorph, I eat like a pig and don't gain much weight fast). I'm also a bit carb sensitive, I need dem carbs to function correctly throughout the day. What would you propose?

By the way, the 5x5 you've specialized for me worked really good, all my stats went up well, finally broke the 1000 lbs total a few weeks ago

Ray,

Why is it that I can run outside or on an eliptical fine, but when I try to get on a treadmill it kills my shins?

hey,

i am 5'8", ~147 lbs and 12-13% body fat. i've been able to go to the gym more often now, and was looking for a routine to help me get bigger.
i have a small gut that i'm looking to get rid of as well. i do ~20 minutes of high intensity cardio every time i work out, along with ab exercises throughout my workout
any tips in losing my gut as quickly as possible? and getting big as quick as possible?

I remember I was eating 2500 calories during that cut last year, it might explain why I dropped so fast. I counted calories for yesterday and today, which I hit 4010 and 4020 calories.... I'm about to go to bed and I'm still hungry 1500 calories deficit was surely too much! Let's change the 3300 to 3500 for now
