Stay away from phentermine... I used it for a while and found I put any weight loss straight back on... and it severely affected my mental health.

My advice is don't be ashamed to be squatting an empty bar or low weights. I'm in a similar situation to you, lower back injury. I just accept that I'm going to be somewhat at a disadvantage with barbell squats and take it slow. Spent months getting perfect form with an empty bar, then 5s, 10s, now I can do 70kg for 3x10…

Its penisitus, sorry OP your days as a man are numbered... Actually it's just slightoss of circulation and nothing to worry about it.
-
There's an A and a B workout, but both contain squats. Nothing wrong with squatting every day but take care not to ove do it.
-
Hate to tell you... but that's an 80kg rack pull.
-
I skip leg day?
-
Then do chin ups!
-
Stretch, stretch and stretch some more. A regular stretching routine has saved me from every sports related injury I've had.

Sounds like you need to use more weight. Your BB weight will be quite a bit heavier than your DB weight. Shoulders on the bench, abs and butt tense, drive with your feet and rep for Jesus!

No it definitely works. Take it along with beta alanine and it will really help your lifting. It does make you retain water (I think that's actually how it works) but I don't notice it except on the scale and I know it's water so it's all good. Don't bother with all that cycling and loading etc that's just to trick people…

Its totally, completely, 100% normal. Go to the app settings and it lets you choose how much it adds each time. Keep it up and remember there's absolutely no shame in lifting with an empty bar.
-
Highly recommend stronglifts 5x5. Been lifting for a while and it's the best programming I've found by far.
-
I don't think there can really be a standard. Everyone is unique.

You could try doing stomach vacuums?
-
For what it's worth I've been successfully recomping for the last few months on 2250 calories.
-
Yeah you don't really burn much calories in weight training unfortunately... otherwise I would be ripped :smiley:

*feisty bucket

As feisty by key said. Lo-Salt or equivalent. Zero carbs.
-
Oh also, are you wrapping your thumb around the bar? Don't do that. Keep it on the same side as your fingers.
-
Unless it's really sore I wouldn't worry about it. The squat position is pretty uncomfortable, you'll get used to it. Regular upper body stretching will help.
-
Personally I need both to stay in good shape. I did only strength training for ages and I lost weigjt, felt fitter etc but when I added three cardio sessions a week the results really just took off. I do 3 days of each alternating and have a rest day on Sunday. In the best shape I've been in for years.

Yes, your taste buds adapt as they stop getting bombarded with sugar and salt. Don't worry!
-
Great with salt and pepper or a light drizzle of sesame oil. Butternut squash also works great but a bit of a pain to prep.
-
On week 3. Going well so far. Will add ya.
-
Bodyweight squats? Maybe 150-200 per week I guess? Probably better would be to do much less barbell squats. I squat 5x5 three times a week with around 80kg and have good muscle tone/size. Took months though, not weeks. Make sure you start low and work up though and use good form.

Avocados, Greek/Turkish style yogurt, Bananas, Lamb, Duck, Seeds, Nuts. All calorific. Unfortunately fatty foods tend to be most calorific although they shouldn't effect your acne, could it be something else? If you really must avoid fats then start munching bread, rice, porridge and potatoes but I dont think many people…
-
Nuts. Nice healthy fats and a bit of texture. Careful though as they are calorific.
-
Im going to break the mould here and say it's not ALL about calorie deficit (although it is undoubtedly very important) I bet that if you replaced those junk calories with the exact same number of healthy, macro balanced calories you would see a benefit. Your body is very complex and your endocrine system is affected by…

I often have toast with honey and a greek yogurt with some berries or other fruit.
