caveman diet?

try adjusting your saddle position, I find lifting the saddle by 0.5 inches makes a big difference in terms of which muscles get used more

if you have high blood pressure, aim for less than 2000. personally, I average at least 3500-4000, without even putting salt on food.

My day off...don't be jealous I have to work all weekend :-p
-
I was doing bodyweight squats before, in large volumes, like 5x20, but proper form was always challenging.
-
ok thanks will try
-
thanks for your input, anything specific that stands out in terms of correcting the form?
-
I've heard nap/sleep energy expenditure estimated at 60 Cal/hr for a certain weight and light, sedentary office work like you're describing estimated at 70-100 Cal/hr. So office work is at least 10-15% more energy use than sleep.

that dude in the above video looks like he's about to roll his eyes

Hey guys thanks for your input. Today I did the B workout in SL 5x5. I focused on my squat form. I tried to go slower, go lower, and not evert/externally rotate my feet (push my knees out). I don't think I succeeded completely. I noticed that I tend to shift the center of mass on my feet in order to keep balanced in such a…

5 foot 8, 172 lbs is a bmi of about 26 btw, still technically overweight
-
at 5 foot 8, 140 lbs your bmi will be about 21, that would be on the low end of normal. however, it is possible to have a low to normal bmi and high body fat percentage (25% or more for a young male). you might want to aim for a higher weight but lower bodyfat (less than 15%). the only way I can think to do that is to try…

google recipe for protein fluff, it 400 calories but feels like 2000, so filling. eat a lot of filling stuff like veggies, fiber,etc. also 9 pounds in 2 months is.good
-
that video is great I'm totally gonna try to imitate that, and work on not rounding my back by using my hammies
-
God my deadlifts are embarassing, next workout I'm gonna lower the weight way down and work my *kitten* off on form
-
thanks for the advice so far, the rack is adjustible but it's a pain to adjust so I just keep it in bench press position. I'm gonna slow down and mind my form more on my next workout. I'm gonna film it again to see what I'm doing wrong.

take it slow, or you will lose too much muscles
-
I think food timing is largely psycholigical. Many people, including myself like to have a filling dinner and nearly skip breakfast. I also like to have a few low calorie snacks.
-
I used some online calculators and they estimate that by losing 31 lbs my leans mass went down by 12 pounds. So 19/31=61% fat lost on a 2lb per week loss diet (and I guess sadly 39% muscle)
-
yeah I get it, I'll get those smaller plates :-)
-
got it
-
here are 2 more things I'm doing "wrong": 1. exercising barefoot, 2. going up by 10 pounds each workout, not 5 because I don't have 2.5 lb plates ;-p
-
when I use a very low weight (like 50% of max or less) I don't feel any resistance, I feel like I'm just doing bodyweight exercises and swinging my arms in the air and I feel like I haven't done any exercise even after 5x5 reps. maybe if it was 15x5 or 10x5 I would feel something after 8 sets by 5x5 with 50% feels like I…

weights, swimming and just walking

I'm in

in my experience diet is way, way more important than exercise. Let's say you burnt 250 calories jogging for 15 to 20 minutes, that's less than a sandwich or candy bars worth of calories.
