Bench Speed
I'm not sure why, but it my speed in lowering the bar during bench has gotten slooooooooooow. At least, for the first rep at heavier weights. Any additional reps are fine. I've tried changing my breathing; I've tried counting (which made it worse); and I've tried forcing myself to go faster, but I tend to lose tightness at…

Mike Israetel / Renaissance Periodization
Any of you smart people know his stuff? Salesman, or worth listening too? Most of what I've seen matches up pretty well with what I think I know (total cals > macros > nutrient timing > food composition/source > supplements), but I'm curious what the rest of you think. FWIW, I've been watching this series of vids today...…

You're probably eating more than you think.
This post is really more about tracking accuracy and consistency. We get a lot of posts regarding intake recommendations from people who are stalled or have slower than expected progress. It's becoming somewhat of a blanket suggestion to eat more when more often than not, that's not the right answer. You can't just look at…

Fried egg white calories?
MFP has a fried egg white as 17 calories but the only fried egg white I can find is 3 and they add up to 160? What do you count calories for a fried egg white?
-
Do calories have to match macros?
So my coach told me I need to get a certain amount of calories per macro group that is just making it way more confusing and can I just make sure I'm within 5 to 10 g of macros and deficit of my calories for the day?

Ladies working on their 6-pack?
Hey everybody, I'm quite new on the MFP but I'm already liking it very much here! My goal is to get rid of excessive fat and get nicely toned. As woman, it is less common to want to rock a six pack :) but I'm sure there must be other ladies out there working on the same goal. How about following each other and sharing tips…

Herniated Disc and Lifting
Anyone here afflicted? I have a herniation at L5 S1 (I don't know the specifics other than "it's a decent herniation"), an annular tear at L4 L5, and just had my first epidural steroid injection yesterday. I've gotten very vague answers from both my orthopedic and pain management doctors about exercise going forward.…

Eat, Train, Progress -- Patrick's Bio
So I know many of you know me at least through my posting history here on Myfitnesspal, but given the size of the group I wanted to write a bit of information about myself especially given that I get a fair amount of coaching clients that come to me through this website.

Sumo DL Foot Position
Unfortunately, I forgot to take my phone into the gym, so I don't have any video. I'm hoping it doesn't really matter for this question, which I'm not entirely sure how to ask, so I'll trust that my rambling is coherent enough for you all to understand. No guarantees. :p I just (last week) added sumo DL back as an…

Best books to read?
Hey all, I have recently started to read more and more when it comes to nutrition and muscle hypertrophy. I was wondering if you have any must-read recommendations. I recently signed up for the AARR thanks to SideSteel and I am just immersing myself in it every day and I have to say that I bloody love it! (Thanks,…

Weight loss Plateaus, Alan Aragon's assessment
Alan has decided to make this public -- it was originally in his AARR (research review) which I also highly recommend and I've been a subscriber for several years. Anyway, this is his very articulate assessment of plateus: http://www.alanaragonblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Plateaus-Sep-2014-AARR.pdf I'll also be…

No October Q & A: 2 Day / Week Thoughts
Good afternoon all, So I have a two month old, which means my 4 -5 day a week push pull legs routine is not working with that schedule. My goal is to only be in the gym one day (maybe one additional day for cardio depending on my calorie situation) during the work week so I can be at home more. I put together the below…

Injury or just need a break?
I'll start by saying I realize the advice of a medical professional should be sought. But, with all of the lifting experience of the people here maybe someone can give me some insight. I have had pain/soreness in my left arm, mostly, when doing any upper body lifts. I notice it most during OHP, incline bench or anything…

magazine recomendations
I know this is kinda a weird request for this group, but I thought I could find some good suggestions from all of your health/fitness conscious peoples... My son is 19 (20 in December) and newly into lifting. He got really into it when he joined the Air Force last year. Apparently there isn't much to do on base but his…
