    What do you do when you go to the pub?

    What do you drink if you want to keep calories down? I prefer beer, which beers are the lowest calorie? It's too hard to cut out the pub it's a big part of social life.. I just want to minimize harm to my daily calories. I'm talking about pub only 1-3 times a week average.

    Short term bulk and cut cycles

    Some say it's not possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. ie. You are either in an excess calorie state, or calorie deficit. I don't know what is or isn't possible, but if it is not possible, or if it's too difficult to balance perfectly to be possible. How short can a bulk and...
