finish cut > slow bulk and get my lagging bench (~270) up to my squat/deadlift (405/578). I've also been working on doing more mobility work to improve my poor flexibility.
oh and cardio, need to do more of that, but it's not very fun. Maybe I'll start swimming when it gets a bit warmer.

I have goals of loosing about 30 pounds, getting taller, and gaining more muscle. But I havent been able to find my motivation yet and my school is getting into my schedule and taking up almost all my free time.

Well to be honest, I don't really count it unless it's done outdoors. But since it's middle of winter here, I'm just thinking about the gym at the moment. I'm going to Smith Rock in Oregon for a day or two in March, so I might be able to work on something there.

I'm against juicing because I hate how wasteful and overrated it is. I cut down 40 lbs to 8% body fat since August by eliminating all the shit out of my diet like sugar, white grains, dairy, and fast food, and substituting with raw fruit, cooked vegetables, white poultry, salmon, eggs once in a while, soy, legumes like kidney beans, lentils and black-eyed peas, and whole grains. I don't have the time to work out a lot but I go to my university's gym when I can (helps that it's a fucking baller facility and I don't have to travel to it). If your goal is to lose weight just find your basal metabolic rate and eat under it every day. You will see results. Exercise and a lot of protein can make sure you don't lose muscle mass along with the fat.

At around bw squat & dl after i fix my shoulder impingement issues (probably caused by playing tf2 for almost 4k hours in shitty posture) going to work up to 1.5xbw squat & start doing plyometrics and try to get a really high vertical jump and get better at sprinting. I used to want aesthetics but now I'm liking the idea of explosiveness and raw power relative to my bw

bro you have more exp than me but don't disregard mobility for a second it might cause issues down the line and sucks to deal with. every now and then work on RC strength and sub-scapularis mobility like broomstick stretch. your posterior chain is probably stronger than your anterior so you don't have to worry much about this stuff like i do :(

oh yeah, I agree it's very important. About a month ago I built a standing desk. That alone improve may my posture/mobility. And like I said, I've been doing more direct work. Foam roll 4 days a week and do stretches twice a week.

Wow I had no idea those existed that is incredible. I should try foam rolling or using a lacrosse ball my pec minor gets really tight sometimes that might cause my shoulders to roll forward but i'm p sure it's because i used to slouch while playing tf2 all the time haha.
How did you develop such a gap between your major lifts? Did you just prefer dl & squat?

Bench is really awkward to develop since it grows slow as fuck for some people + a lot of beginner and im programs don't really develop it or emphasize it very much. Foam rollers are so good tho

anyone here have trouble with protein shakes? don't mind the taste or smell or anything, but for some reason I gag whenever I try to drink them. makes it hard to get what I need without living off chicken

do you use water? if so, try milk. milk makes protein shakes / weight gainers taste a lot better imo.

gag? go to costco and get the huge bag of cytosport whey.
I mix like 2 scoops with water post workout and it tastes fine. if you don't have a blender bottle i'd suggest getting one though, shits a lifesaver

If you run for 2 hours a day as well as doing lifts then my guess would be that 1. the running is impacting muscle recovery time on what would normally be rest days for someone that lifts but doesn't run very often and 2. 2 hour runs every day is a shitload of calories burned, to build the muscle you'd have to make sure your diet reflected that.
I eat more, but I havent really changed what I eat

Man, I can do maybe 20 seconds on dragon flag, 10 on levers, but I can't even attempt a human flag.
As for my goals, I want to be able to do ridiculous gymnastic/calisthenics moves like human flags, planches/planche-handstand transitions, in addition to packing on around 2-3kgs of muscle.
I've always had a pretty low bodyfat percentage in the range of 7-9% but putting on any sort of weight has always been pretty hard for me if I don't stuff my face with food every few hours. I'm almost completely unconcerned with improving aesthetics since I've almost always had a lean physique. My current lean mass to body fat ratio is pretty much my ideal of a few years ago, and all I want to focus on now is improving mobility, functional strength and explosive power.
A few of my personal bests(all body-weight exercises since that's been my go-to for a long time)
Dead hang one-arm chinup
One arm pushup
Pistol squat with an added 12kgs
I think one of the greatest days of my life was the day I finally managed a one-arm chinup.

Currently 175, 5'10, 17% body fat and I want to get down to about 165 with 10% body fat. I can't max because of heart surgery but want to be able to rep my body weight on bench (135 right now) and increase my squat and deadlift every week by just a little (Deadlift=215) (Squat 185-225 depending on day). Also what I find helps is don't have cheat days but just have 2-3 cheat meals a week instead.

I run and do starting BWF. I do the Monday both, Wednesday both, Friday run, Saturday BWF.
On Monday and Wednesday is it bad to have a break between the cardio and strength training if I do proper warm-up/cool down? Like an hour or two because of scheduling or honestly I just need a break?
But ive lost 30 pounds since September and am noticeably skinnier, so thats rad.

this years swole goals:
see my abs
deadlift 500
bench 315
artacuno53.
any time you push your body you deplete nutrients and wear yourself out. Being glycogen depleted and sore is going to make either running or lifting less effective because you won't be able to go as hard. Ultimately whichever you do second will be at less than full effort. The better option would probably be to train BWF M/W/Sa and Cardio T/R/Su to give yourself plenty of rest between the two, but real life isnt that convenient. That said: you aren't a pro bodybuilder. The 10% loss of gains or whatever isn't going to be that severe.
Taking or not taking a break between the two wont make a serious difference if you're not binging on carbs in-between. Do whatever feels best for you. The main goal should be something that you find maintainable. GJ on your weightloss, if you've made it this far the last bit will be easy

I want to go on the water slides at splashtown that I was too heavy for last year. I'm finishing month 3 this week, and I'm down 30 pounds so far. I work out with a neighbor at his friends private gym.
Edit: my actual goal is to be under 250. That's just how we word it
