I guess that's my issue, when I say the app starts counting I think it should wait but it doesnt. I automatically get the calories back. For example if I only walk 200 steps in a day, my app automatically gives me back the 13 or so calories that I would have burned and that is no where close to being enough to burn over…

I've recently had plain vanilla Greek yogurt and put some cut up strawberries in it, tastes better than ice cream!

No one judges. At my gym, not only the staff help newer people, but if it's obvious that someone is new (it's a small community) most of the members will stop their workout or finish it and then help out the new person learning how to do workouts and how to "properly" lift free weights. Once you get in there, you just…

Guess it's a good thing that myo tape and accumeasure calipers came with the thing. Using the calipers and tape I've managed to show my body fat to calculate out to 10-12%. Whether or not those are accurate based on user error is a completely different issue. Thank you for your help.

Right now I'm aiming to better my physique at an early age. I have made a lot of progress (3 years of working out, 1 month of calorie counting and macros) and have gotten my bicep to a 14 inches and waist to 29, but I'm trying to build more muscle, gain strength, and tone my core to show all work I've tried so hard to get.

5'7 and around 145. I also have measured my waist, neck, thigh, hips, etc

I am a male. I don't have very much body fat and can send pictures if needed, but I agree I think it is wrong but the question is how much Edit:true they would help to show the overall trend, but what happens when it hits it's lower limit and I'm not at the body fat I desire or don't have the composition I'm shooting for?

I simply stated that STUDIES SHOW that they do. I was unaware that the studies were done on rats. As abother user mentioned the post on the matter, it was able to show me the holes in the information I already knew and put me back in line. You could be respectful and do the deed in a mature and reasonable way like another…

Sorry you're so unfortunate to have such awful luck/genetics to get them that bad. Maybe take into account your other life habits? A simple "actually you're wrong and here's why" would have sufficed over a "lying isn't cool and you're hurting people". I was voicing personal experience, believe it or not. Think before you…

Personally, it affects me when I eat a lot of carbs or overeat right before heading to the gym. Another side effect could be feeling drowsy or lazy after a few minutes in the gym. You could also be over exerting your body which may not be as prepared for the workout as you may think.
-
Some veggies actually burn more calories than they provide because of what the body requires to process them and break them down which makes for a deficit in calories or energy which could lead to hunger. Plus, as mentioned by @LauraLeach5 , protein is lacking as well as other essential nutrients.
-
None of these are permanent and will only be used to get me through the next few weeks until I get to my school gym and change to a more long term routine. The initial gains are all that I need from these workouts and I agree, it's a ridiculous amount of reps and what not, but it is most definitely helping with strength…
-
I'm more on the goal for a recomp or mass gain and not the fat loss. I wasn't necessarily talking about the pump, though it did give me one, but I've donethe workout for 2 weeks and have noticed gains.
-
It may be excessive, but it puts my arms, as said, "on blast" and feels like it's working. I haven't had any form of pain that wasn't directly anticipated so no tendonitis as of yet. As for the goal, that is what I'm asking. Whether or not they cater to the, as you said, "bro-science crowd" is what I'm trying to figure out…
-
Sorry about all of my dumb questions but I had a question regarding macros when recomping. Do macro nutrients matter once the daily goal has been met? For example I eat all of my macros to their goal number and then workout and eat back my excess calories. Do I still need to strive for them to be equal to the goal…

Thank you for this!

No worries mate. I do plan on doing the Romanian deadlift with that workout if I choose to do it. I'll look into that also, thank you for the input!

In my current plan or the one from the website?

Not sure if the one above is considered "by a pro" but it can be found: http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/the-muscle-building-workout-routine/ My current workout plan (made by myself, brother, and friend) is as follows, and I can give the details of each day as well if needed: Monday: Chest/Triceps Tuesday: Back/Biceps…

I've read the entire thread actually and no, I have been lifting for about 3 years now. Only recently got into the act of counting out calories and eating at maintenance.
-
Alright, thank you for the clarification. I'll do what u can to get over the fear of overeating and just go for it while lifting heavy. I can tell a difference in my abs and arms based on my last few weeks so we will see how all of it is affected with eating at maintenance and not worrying about a little surplus.
-
Correct, access to each of those. I am taking into the account that the "60 minutes" I'm at the gym may not be 60 minutes I work out and the exercises vary each 8-12 minutes. I have no way of measuring how many actual calories are burned while lifting and can only hope that the MFP running calories are close to what I…
-
It is due to a sort of restriction. Regardless, would the outcome of me wanting to lose body fat while gaining tone and definition change regardless of the method used?
-
My only concern is that the calories burned may not be correct and with an extended amount of time, any excess eaten calories would catch up with me. I am not able to effectively weigh myself on a regular basis and can go months without seeing a scale. If I'm trying to recomp, I would imagine it would be safer to eat in a…
-
When I'm logging my calories I have a goal of 2060 calories for maintenance as a 142 lb, 5'9, 19 y/o male. I do NOT, however, log my lifting or running calories. Is it better for me to continue doing this as a recomp or try and log my lost calories as best I can? Any help would be appreciated.
-
I'm trying to get mine as well. Working pretty hard and I've lost most of the fat that covers them anyway. Looking to do a recomp to fully get them where I want them to be!
-
Okay so I know this is going to sound ridiculous but I'm just trying to get some answers. Do I need to try and eat at maintenance or would it be more beneficial to eat less and continue to hit the gym (hoping to get the same measurement gains all around)? Given that I actually have to try to meet my "maintenance goal"…

Thank you, you're a saint and a scholar. I'll look into these websites and come to a valid conclusion. Thank you so much for your help.
