Bulking gain vs. Cutting loss
Just out of curiosity, how much did you gain on your bulk and how much did you have to then lose on your cut to get to your goal physique? My first bulk I gained about 10lbs, and lost 3-4lbs to get to my goal. I was pretty comfortable with that (40% of what I gained). My second bulk I gained 12lbs and I am now down 3lbs…

Anybody else a "tubie"?
My reason for gaining weight is because of chronic illness. Of my various health issues, one is a compacted stomach, which means I can't eat much at one time - or I get cramps/nausea. Even eating 6 times a day, I barely get 1800 calories. Soooo, I got a feeding tube to help. My goal is 3000ish calories, until I get to 90…

How long did it take for your non-dominant side to catch up?
I've been working primarily with dumbbells in hopes of getting a little more balanced. My left arm is considerably weaker and gasses out before the right even feels like it's getting warmed up. I've been eating right and lifting 3 days per week. How long do you think it will take to balance things out?

Can you please let me know your results if you sync your FitBit with MFP?
I'm not 100% how this works. When does it sync? What exactly is sent over?... If I exercise I can add my calories whenever and take a look at the change right away. Will the FitBit not show that until the day is over? How does it work and has it worked for you? I just reset my MFP goal to sedentary and to lose 1lb per…

How to get straighter legs?
Hey guys! So as you can see in the picture below, my legs aren't very "straight".

Low carb crisis
Hi!

Cutting/Saving Muscle with Injury
I need a new plan. I need high volume/frequency, light weight. What do some of your body part workouts look like?

But my sciatic nerve still feels pinchy when I squat and…
