[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I think the whole bulk and cut is crap. Just start strength training and increase protein. [/quote]

This is OP and yes this sounds way too complicated for me.  Is there a calorie and protein goal I should start with? How do I figure this out? And how frequently should I be heavy lifting? [/quote]
PP here. Shoot for 100grams protein a day. It’s easy to hit if you eat chicken & white fish like haddock, hake, cod. Other low fat/high protein foods I eat are cottage cheese (low or non fat), plain Greek yogurt, jerky. I have a chocolate protein bar almost daily for “dessert” and it keeps me full through am workout.

Which brings me to lifting. I do Caroline Girvan programs. She’s free on YouTube and just launched an app. I would start with her Iron series. All straight lifting. The program is 5 x week but you can start with 3, then 4… just follow the program. Before you start and if you can afford, get a trainer to show you proper form. And don’t worry if you can’t lift even close to what she does. She’s professional. I started with 5lb for arms, 8 for legs. Some of he followers started with soup cans!

Lifting has changed my life. I’m almost 60 and love feeling strong.[/quote]
