Heya!
Wanted to start a discussion on workouts. Do you do weight training, cardio? What kind of each?
If you're taking supplements what kind?
I'm currently running a cutting routine focused on fat burn and muscle maintenance; my stack consists of isoflex, some generic brand casein, BCAAs, and some C4 Pre workout.

HIT training (not too much of it)
and cardio
no supplements, just what nature gave us. healthy food good fat, low sugar.
stop smoking drugs
OT:Even though I sometimes have to force myself to go, I always enjoy that natural high after a good workout. That feeling of euphoria is a great reward for the hard work I've just put in. -
Currently on MadCows 5 x 5 on summer shred and I have my home gym but no power rack so
I substituted Squats for hacksquats , here are my current stats:
Bodyweight: 155.4 Lbs ( 5''8 1/2 ) 11% bodyfat
Bench: 185 x 5
Deadlift: 305 x 5
Barbell Rows: 185 x 5
Overhead Press: 120 x 5
Hacksquat: 235 x 5
Supplements: Dymatize's Vanilla Gourmet whey , Coffee.
I've actually been cutting for 5 months now, Added weight to all my 5 rep maxes despite losing
37 pounds. Leaner you get I've learnt to slow down weight loss because then you're losing precious muscle mass. Been having quite a hard time monitor my maintenance calories because I'm really carb sensitive and bloat above 1800 calories. although I assume that since I lost around 3.2 lbs in a week with 1 day of cardio a week on 1500 calories my maintenance should be around 2500 if not doing any cardio ( Will re-asses during winter ) . What's are your goals OP? mine are to stay within single digit Bodyfat and Bench 315 x 1, deadlift 405 x 5 and squat 315 + -
I dunno if this counts but i.
get into bed which requires a bit of physical exercise, i get out of bed 2 times a day. I spend alot of time pushing my mouse around exercise for the wrist amirite. Sometimes i even do a special exercise which requires absolute privacy
i move to my tv to turn it on. -

The new minimum is 9 times with a combination of the rain dance before at least 3 of them .
Nothing major here, 20 lunges , pushups and sit ups before bed every other night. Diet is so hard to maintain as I work weird hours and my kitchen is torn apart .
My new place has plenty of room so when the renos are on pause we will be getting a weight bench

I often don't get the dopamine release after a workout unless I do intense cardio, but I love my HIIT sessions so I do them quite frequently. I love morning workouts because the high afterwards keeps me happy throughout the rest of my day.Currently on MadCows 5 x 5 on summer shred and I have my home gym but no power rack so

Yes, cutting has its risks with muscle atrophy. Proper weight loss should be no more than 2 pounds per week. If you're losing more, you're losing muscle along with it. I recommend taking a dose of Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) before and during a workout. They prevent muscle atrophy and promote lean muscle maintenance and growth if bulking.
Make sure you're getting plenty of calories. It's less about the calories and more about the nutritional intake. 1500 calories is far too few if you're trying to do reps on weight.
I recommend starting your day with a healthy supply of carbs. Oatmeal is always a solid choice, and fat free bagels with non-fat cream cheese is also a great carb option if you get bored with oatmeal.
You need healthy fats, try getting them from mixed nuts and seeds. Also make sure you're doing the right serving size.
Try to do red meat no more than twice a week. Chicken and turkey are the best. Make sure you're getting your servings of vegetables - and no, salads don't count! You need squash, cucumber, mushrooms, etc. Things with actual vitamins. Salads are like eating filler with no benefit to your body. Also, no more than two portions of fruit per day because they are high in sugars. One portion of fruit is roughly the size of your fist.
Also, try to start drinking green tea. Green tea has caffeine anhydrous and CLA in it to help speed up your metabolism and increase fat burn.
For your goals I would recommend to continue cutting (although find a healthier balance on your diet, it sounds like you're not getting enough to properly cut) until you receive abdominal muscle definition. At that point, if you want to hit those weight goals, I'd recommend then hopping on mass gainers and some creatine. QuickMass and Arnold Mass are pretty solid choices. Find a bulking diet to stick to as well, because you will need to take in a massive amount of calories to bulk properly.
My goals are less weight-pushing oriented but more physique-oriented. I've almost finished cutting (will be done in a month or so) and will start bulking. Once I feel like I've put on enough muscle mass, I will begin cutting again to receive a good looking body and start on whey proteins and maintenance workouts. Edit: When I began working out in the beginning of February, I weighed in at 205 pounds. At that time I didn't know how to manage diet properly and my muscles experienced a lot of atrophy. Now, I am at 154 pounds. Good progress as of now though. -
