bulking and cutting for female beginners

One important point about back-off sets is that they need to be preceded by heavier, more intense sets. A back-off set, however, uses the same rest periods between sets as you typically would, but you’re following your most intense (heavy) sets with a less intense one. A drop set has you doing a set and quickly decreasing the weight by about 25% and immediately resuming the exercise without rest. Before you say anything, we’re not talking drop sets. The idea of a back-off set is pretty much exactly how it sounds: After you've pounded the muscle with heavy weight and serious intensity, you back off slightly on the weight that you can do for slightly more reps. Thanks! Not a stupid question at all! Those are called 'Back-off sets' Here's an exerpt from the link I'm including below: Used to do Leangains/IIFYM, but now I just do IIFYM because I can't do leangains with only one rest day. Try to keep it something like 40/50/10, I guess. I focus on high protein/high carb/low fat, minimizing it to 50g a day if possible, but I'm not exactly clean bulking so it might end up at 75g if I go out to eat. Cut: 2500cal, Bulk: 3800, but I often eat closer to 4000cal.

Pretty much a body part split, each day focusing on a major lift, 6x a week. In the Army I frequently ran, sprinted, and conducted ruck marches. Also looking into starting rowing for dragon boat, but I have no ERG/Concept 2 to work with. Going to start T-Nation's 6 Week Sprint Program. Former Army who's going to be an undergrad student in the Fall. Advanced (3 years total, about to be one year serious).How you went from that (a respectable physique, but nothing impressive) 4 months ago to apparently world class natty in 4 months is beyond me though. A few months back your picture is at 178 pounds and something around 13-17% bf (hard to tell exactly, but no lower). In your case, 3 days ago you said you were 180 lbs yet now apparently 192 (okay). It's not a knock on you or him (maybe a little), but the bf% numbers are off which matter a hell of a lot. He won the WBFF World Fitness Model finals before so it sounds like you could compete at an international level if what you say is true (huge emphasis on natty as well). Your example of Rob Riches (5' 10' 180 lbs ~7% bf off-season, numbers pulled from an online profile of his) is interesting because you are stating that you have more LBM than him (RR 167.4 and you 174 lbs) at 2 inches shorter after only a year of lifting seriously. I meant in terms of LBM, not necessarily shredded/cut.
