The issue with this is that you also didin't know what kind of issue she has, but said that using the eliptical would heal the knee if it was a muscular issue. I was pointing out that skeletal issues, as opposed to muscular issues, are not generally self-repairing or able to be corrected through exercise. The suggestion of…

That is not how skeletal issues heal. While you might have allowed for a muscular imbalance to heal with time and light resistance training the idea that ligaments or cartilage (both that have limited blood supply and limited ability to self-heal) will correct themselves with time is incorrect. OP the knee is pretty…

I run in the morning and lift in the afternoon most days. About an hour on both ends roughly.

Are you running a strength program or winging it?
-
What are the basic exercises that hurt your knees? Are you sure you are doing them with correct form? Have you worked with a personal trainer or physical therapist? Do you have any medical issues that impeded the natural movement of your knees? You need to provide some details to get any real responses.

Put this in the same category as the ab-doer, the ab circle, the flex belt or any other device that promises to "shrink" your body or distroy body fat through a "magic" method. Less calories in that out = weight loss Lift weights (on a good program) = save muscle, build muscle, and get stronger Wash, rinse, repeat until…

Can you even slowly lower yourself to do a lunge with your knee touching? I ask because if not there is a risk you can induce patellar tendinitis or patellar distinction by allowing the knee to slam into the ground uncontrolled. If you can lower yourself in a controlled manner then the knee on the ground is not a bad…

I have competed in powerlifting and Olympic lifting comps in the past and will be competing this summer again.

This. Fractured bones in the toe can impinge or sever the arteries in the toe, causing a tourniquet like effect. Additionally, the risk of DVT, embolism, or SVT is increased with broken bones. I understand that modern medicine is expensive, but your health is... Your health. What is more important than that?

One of the variations of 5/3/1 might work, but with warm-ups it might give just over an hour. You might want to look into Beyond 5/3/1.

I don't understand the rational or the exercise selection you are suggesting in this modification. If you are going to be running 5x5 with these lifts it is highly likely you are going to see diminished returns since each lift you chose is an auxiliary lift to the lift you are replacing. You will lose significant weight…

As opposed to?

I took a month this summer. It was good. I had a little twinge in my shoulder during the press. I did two to three recovery runs a week during that time, tons of prehab/rehab work, and some body weight workouts. I came back stronger so I feel like it was good. Enjoy

You are treading in dangerous water my friend. I lifted for 15 years before my wife decided to try it with me. She was new, and I became "coach". Mistake number one. No one wants the persons they care about being critical of them in that setting. My jobs allows me to call things like I see them. I found out communicating…

It depends on what your goals are, what your stats are, your experience with weightlifting, what program you are on. The question is too undefined for anyone to be able to give a real answer. That being said cardio does not cause weight loss, neither does lifting. Weight loss is all diet. You get heather, stronger, and to…

It makes more sense that you would have a higher deadlift than squat, in particular at the beginning of heavy lifting prior to nailing down the squat form. As you said the squat requires more focus on form and it contains both an eccentric and concentric portion of the lift, which the deadlift lacks. OP, if your issues is…

This is the issue with this branch of non-peer reviewed pseudo-science. There is a denial that simple sugars are all the body can use and creates those from the more complex carbohydrates you consume. They, the "scientist" and supporters, use a set of hypothesis that are almost wholly unable to be proven, your body…

What @usmcmp said, or just search your user name.

It will depend on your goals if you should lower the weight or change the sets and reps. Your goals are not really clearly defined; you want to lose body fat, maybe gain some muscle, maintain strength, and possibly gain 5 pounds in the future. You are attempting a recomp which means that adding any muscle will take time,…

If you are having any symptoms of heart palpitations or any other cardiac disease please go to the ED or see your primary care provider.

The reason is the names of those workouts have no bearing on the calories burned, while name brand foods have specific caloric totals. In the end, it would just be an endless number of circuit style workouts of different names with the same calculation for calories burned. There are too many variables in calculating…

That was not a what is wrong with you question, I just wanted to understand why she was doing different depths on different exercises.
-
Why is there a difference in depth in your squats? A full depth squat is when the hip joint is below the top of the patella. Depth between Olympic lifter and powerlifting squats exist but that is form following function. But it likely means you lack mobility and are falling forward because of that. It can be caused by…

The not doing jack version can be very short. But I agree it takes me an hour to get through my warm ups, warm up sets, main lift, and accessory lifts.

Him covering beginners and it being an optimal program for beginners is not the same thing. If I told you I had a ham and sand sandwich that was 73% sand, would you still call it a ham sandwich?
-
What is your training background? Have you thought about buying the 5/3/1 book from Jim? He sells and e-version and it will cover all your questions and explain why he developed te system the way he did. But it is an intermediate lifting program and more geared towards lifters with a pretty good base of training. To answer…

It depends on a lot of factors if it has an effect. I have eaten before morning runs or lifts and not eaten. It took time both ways for my body to adjust. Your body will also adjust to the stimulus over time. Lean Gains comes to mind when people ask this and people on this program will go through workouts and most of the…

You should be able to get in the ballpark by entering circuit training in the app and the time spent doing the workout. Any "calories spent" provided by this or any device should be viewed as a best-guess. Since without extensive medical testing that is essentially what it is. If you are eating back your exercise calories…

Yea and I am sure Ben Affleck was completely clean during his bulk to play Batman. (For those who don't know, he was the star of the after school special about steroids and their dangers.)
-
I am sure you watched "Bigger Stronger Faster" and know that steroids are directly responsible for the death of at least..........no person, ever. So why would we not ban them? And more importantly if you even think about steroids it makes Angels cry.
