I don't really do calisthenics, but I do pull ups and there's no secret to it other than keep on doing them.

The (((tribe))) has closed all gyms in my place so i can't do my usual 5×5 full body thing ahh

 

[alexis]

Do it as long as you can't move your arms. Once it becomes too easy, proceed to weighted pullups. Similar strategies work for pushups, situps, chinups, crunches, etc.

Try to work your way up to handstand push-ups or more difficult pushup variations to hit the shoulders/triceps harder too. It’s a decent cope if you can’t gym

Can i eat at 1000 calorie deficit and build muscle?

Can i eat at 1000 calorie deficit and build muscle?

Muscle building on caloric deficit is hard but isn't impossible. If you eat very clean and eat at least 1.5 g protein per bodyweight in kg, you can avoid lean mass loss. I'd supplement it with whey protein, creatine, and l-carnitine since they're shown to increase lean mass in conjunction to fat loss in resistance training overweight subjects who follow low-calorie diets.

Also creatine causes hair loss and bloating

 

[alexis]

Can take whey im lactose intolerant cause of my disease

Sorry, I don't have LI but you can buy lactase pills and pop one or two just in case. It also helps metabolism. If that doesn't work, bearing you keep caloric restriction, eat a hell lot of broccoli or other low calorie per protein foods.

Also creatine causes hair loss and bloating

Sorry, I'm Norwood 7 already. But bloating is real. Just stick with other supplements.

Can i eat at 1000 calorie deficit and build muscle?

If you are untrained and eat enough protein, you can, but you really won't build much if at all in some cases, the biggest benefit is that you minimize muscle loss

Normally eat 2 times daily, mostly fried eggs with some whole bread in the morning, and dinner i eat what my mother prepares randomly, like rice with chicken, goulash, stuffed peppers. Sometimes snack on banana in between. Thats it

 

[SeiGun]

[TsarTsar444]

Well thats the norm for me jfl, fast food is expensive so i never got used to it. Living in a agricultural semi meddeteranian country also does that

You don't rest your metabolism, also don't drink food
start researching about dieting, you would 100% help your patients more if you are going to be a doctor and know this info

 

[khvirgin]

Is there any training plan for calisthenics on the internet like there are for weight lifting? Im kinda clueless to what i do

Do you have an elastic band?
You could try to do pull ups with that for while, this is what people reccomend
either that or doing just pull downs other than your regular pullups

 

[TsarTsar444]

You don't rest your metabolism, also don't drink food with a lot food,

You said you ate eggs which are full of protein, also when refeeding you don't cough olive oil, you eat a lot of carbs

 

[SeiGun]

I think that im going to end up a drug addict on the street or killing myself in the future, honestly there isn't much hope for me, sucks not having any money

 

[R@m@]

buy a pair of rings, you can do pretty much everything beside legs, when I started I only used weight now Its just calisthenics/weighted calisthenics

you are a med school with a gf which loves you lol

Im probably going to fail med school cause of my adhd, my gf is probably going to leave, girls lose love after a while. My future is grimm

you are not passing your tests?

 

[TsarTsar444]

Barely this year, next year it's going to be 3 times more brutal. It's just destiny/determinism, i wasn't made to succeed, my father has adhd. Genes are a curse

 

[Sigmamale]

Can i eat at 1000 calorie deficit and build muscle?

Nearly impossible.

 

[TsarTsar444]

Nearly impossible.

Damn, im already 17% bf, bulking will just make me go over 20% and then cutting to 10% would be impossible cause it will take too long and risk muscle loss

 

[redfacccee]

put shit in a school bag

 

[Dainslief]

For adhd drink lots of black tea, like every 3 hours, the theanine in tea helps to focus.

And for calisthenics, convict conditioning is a good book that shows how to progress from as a beginner to elite level.

Bulk to 20 percent then cut to 15 percent then lean bulk. If you cut with not enough muscle you won't look sick.

 

[TITUS]

Pullups are brutal, you got to follow a plan if you want to go faster and only have calisthenics as workout, do isometrics, etc. youtube it.
Ideally you would go to the gym and workout biceps and lats on machines to speed up the progress.
