  • I'm not sure how you're going to accurately weigh oils, but I'd suggest using an accurate set of measuring spoons instead of normal silverware. I have had very good luck eating back most or all of my cardio calories, but either ignoring the weightlifting, or just giving myself 200 calories per hour, which is completely…

  • I would not count the weightlifting calories burned at all. Cardio, sure, but unless you are doing circuit training with a continuous high heart rate, you're probably only burning 150 calories per hour weight lifting at best. Another sneaky calorie source, someone already mentioned it, is oils. If you like to grill your…

  • I do a program similar to SS. Did SS for 6 months then transitioned to more steady-state (slower) gains with the same lifts. Been doing it for 2 years. January 1 this year, I decided to go back to Atkins to drop some weight quickly while maintaining lifting and playing hockey twice a week. Dropped weight, 12 pounds in 6…

  • Well, sure, if you want to average things out. The "T" does stand for "total" after all ;) I just assume 2550 for a normal recovery day, and add exercise on top of that if it's appropriate. Of course, there is a spreadsheet that figures out how much I should have lost . . .

  • I paid Dr. Sullivan at Greysteel for a 1-session coaching lesson about 2 years ago to help me with my squat form. It was worth every penny. Good guy.

  • I've been really happy with my hand-made belt from Dean and Jackie Best. I have been pounding on the 4" "Athlete" belt for over two years, and it still feels like it is brand new. http://www.bestbelts.net/Powerlifting-Belts/Athlete.aspx They custom make the length and color for just over $100.

    in Frustrated with caloric burn calculations. Comment by WallBilly February 2016
  • Well, the "Strength Training" activity in the cardio section suggests 287 calories per hour, which is over 40% higher than what my heart rate monitor gave me. I also wear it while I'm playing ice hockey as a goalie, and the calories burned on the heart rate monitor have varied from 510 to 830 for the same 75 minute ice…
    in Strength exercises - no calories lost? Comment by WallBilly February 2016
  • It's because strength training doesn't burn many calories. Sure, you can burn calories if you do circuit training and get your heart rate up, but if you are resting between sets to recover, the calorie burn is negligible. You can go to bodybuilding websites and they'll all tell you that. I wore a heart rate monitor for a…
