Out of curiosity what is your weight Leesh?

Getting the wifey on a program and just trying to figure out a base calorie range for the day. Currently at 1,280 calories @ 63kg according to my fitness pal

57kg

[L33SH]

I usually consume 1900 calories a day and I would recommend iifym for that rather than my fitness pal

After some suggestions if you please guys and gals.

So my little sister wants a program to do but at the moment she can only use machines, until someone shows her compounds.

(If she doesn't see a pt I'll show her when I see her in a month or so)

Should I put her on some kind of split or still try do a full body using the machines?

Once I've shown her the movements I'll probably get her to do Markos beginner program or something similar.

Wow you must either be very active or have a a high metabolism!

Good for when you need to cut hey

That is fairly normal for a female her weight/ size.

People that cut on less usually have a large cheat day or binge, not being consistent.

If you feel it's high in comparison to your intake, you really should be looking into what you can do to improve your maintenance.

I agree Birds - it's the fake natties that everyone hates, because they aren't truthful.

From what I've read, it seems quite pointless to start cycling until you're near your genetic potential as well - most of the people I know on test do not look that big / or are hugely strong. Biggest benefits seem to be the recovery ability and being able to eat whatever crap and not put on fat.

The other amusing part is that only a couple have a good understanding of what PCT is and how to go about it.

On an unrelated note, I started using chalk the other day, best training related decision I've made since going from a bro split to a proper beginner strength program.

Chalk is a godsend for dead lifts. Everyone I've given it to has hated it at first and hated the feel until they added 20-30kg to their deadlift in an instant lol. I'm now supplying my gym with chalk cause they never fill the bowl

It's not that much food, but Birds volume training helps to keep her thin given I've banned her from most of her old cardio activities

Mate I would get her training mobility exercises, stretches, body resistance and supporting muscle exercises just so that she can get her body in good condition to start training the compounds properly when someone has a chance to show her.

Exactly; 1900 calories is actually under what I'm meant to be consuming. Iifym suggests 2100 calories a day for my size and activity level, but I've found a happy medium. The 130g of protein a day is more important to me

Yeah she's pretty cluey and is already doing basic body weight stuff, pullups, dips, pushups, etc. Knows a lot of stretches and mobility stuff from dancing.

Might just keep her doing that until she gets taught the compounds.

[Birds]

If she's a dancer she's probably got good flexibility and mobility all round, in which case yeah, you could get her doing some machine versions of compound exercises just to get her started - it's better than nothing or doing freeweights the wrong way. Machine bench, lat pulldown, seated rows, leg press etc.

[No Crust Racing]

If she's a dancer with good flexibility we need pics...

For science.

Ahh it is more so that compared to the girls at my work they seem to be eating in the 1200-1500 calorie range. Maybe they just dont eat enough

I can confirm for science

Ah brilliant I forgot about lat pull down thanks

Unfortunately for her she looks a bit like a female version of me, so you probably don't want pics hahaha
