I think Arnie lied!
Ever watched Pumping Iron? He tells us, repeatedly, that getting the pump feels like having an orgasm. As I collapse, jelly legged and sweating buckets, into the nearest chair, I can't help but feel somewhat conned :| I'd think it was just me, because I'm pretty slap dash, except my OH feels exactly the same. And he's been…

Regaining lost muscle
Hello, guys!! I’m wondering how long does it take to regain lost muscle size? I did a cut for about 2-3 months, after 5 months of bulking, and i was able to pretty much maintain my strength, but sadly lost some size.

Recomp/Cut after Marathon
Hi there! After reading through some other pages and asking about next steps with fitness, I decided the most appropriate place to go was here. I do not need to aggressively lose weight, and MFP has me eating 1290 calories because my job is very sedentary. That does not work for me, since I am lifting or running 6x week. I…

Do you guys compensate your macros the next day if you had deficit the day before?
Like, let's say you were missing 10g of protein the day before you somehow didn't ingest, do you compensate it the next day? I've seen people claiming to do it because your daily intake should be as it is only, but I've also read other people claiming our body doesn't function in a 24h cycle so we should compensate it. How…
