Only if its a waiter's thumb or something worse... :#

Honestly, your choices in that range are pretty standard chain store brand fare. The low end Weber, Broil-King's and Napoleon's start around $600.00 Stay away from the real low end Master Chef's and Dyna-Glo or NXT grills.You end up buying one every 2-3 years and getting any replacement parts is a total pain.

Interesting idea, would need to see some pretty conclusive peer reviewed research to show that their bio-impedance measurements of cellular water and glucose can a) be done by their tech and b) is an accurate way to measure caloric intake. Don't get me wrong, if this thing actually works as advertised, it would be a game…

Deadlifts, squats, bench.

Mix of both. 1 eggs with 1/2c of egg whites. Thinking I may switch that up a bit as I am always a bit low on fat and a bit high on protein.

HIt 95 here yesterday after a pretty blah start to our summer. Got to 85 in the house and I wasn't even sweating. I used to wear shorts in the middle of a Canadian winter and hated when the house got warmer than 65 as I felt hot. and sweaty.

Fair enough. Using Sailrabbit I can see that the TDEE formulations that use BF% stay the same if only the age changes but activity level and BF% stay static. Those formulations also give a higher TDEE than ones that are BMI based and use age, sex,height and weight.

The best thing you can do it stop calling it a cheat. Eat it, log it and work it into your daily or weekly calories.

The original question is kinda vague, an excuse or issue for what? Age is an issue in regards to metabolism and recovery time. That's just a fact of life. Even the fittest seniors are not in the same physical shape as the fittest 25 year old. We all age. Any TDEE calculator out there will show you either need to be more…

That one is on protein and workout timing. This is the one on total protein intake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOE2zIg7bN0

The RDA is the minimum recommended intake for a sedentary person. Not someone involved in resistance training. http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/how-much-protein-do-you-need-every-day-201506188096 Further edit. Based on an aggregate of the numerous blogs, studies and a wee bit of bro science most recommendations come in…

10 reps is considered 75% of 1RM. But if you asked most people that isn't lifting "heavy". 8-12reps is hypertrophy range. Great for mass, not so good for strength gains. Heavy is more 3-5 rep range.
-
That's an interesting article, but they have a bit of a skewed idea of what a 1 rep max is. If you can do 8-10 reps, that is not 90% of your 1RM.
-
The more trained you are the harder it gets to add muscle, until it is nearly impossible, inefficient and not worth the time to try at any significant deficit, which is why highly trained individuals will go bulk and cut. They literally have no reserves to draw on to add muscle mass. For the vast majority of the population…

The Kirkland products are about the best "no name" products out there. I prefer them to many name brands. They have some really great Salmon and Whitefish burgers, as well as great prices on fresh and frozen meat and shellfish.

Sorry but your data is outdated. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160127132741.htm

Last week we had a fairing long thread on this topic with links to recent studies by McGill university on this and their research showed in a controlled study muscle gains on a deficit. The idea you can't gain muscle on a deficit is outdated.
-
Down 32lbs since May 13. Let's breakdown your understanding. At any caloric deficit your body grabs from your energy stores (fat,muscle) to run your body instead of fuel (food). You still have your TDEE to support. It's not like something isn't getting fueled, the deficit is done to force use of storage energy, not new…

So your weights completely stalled at 500 cal deficit? I've been on a 1000cal a day give or take since mid may and my thighs to start were 23inches of flab, they are now 25 and rock solid with muscle. Squats from empty bar to 190lbs yesterday and deads are at 235. Now, granted I am working back to where I used to be 5…

If she is new to resistance training and eating sufficient protein and training hard, she and most newer lifters can easily gain .5lb of muscle in 2 months, even while on a deficit. Gains of .25-.5lbs a month are not out of the realm for the first 12-18 months of resistance training for an untrained individual, even on a…
-
What part of my statement is inaccurate? So your argument is people should run to build leg muscle even though it is inherently a very inefficient way to build muscle when compared to resistance training such as squats? That's like me saying you should only do squats to improve your 5k time...yes doing squats will probably…
-
IDK, get under the squat bar with as much weight as you can safely lift and do 5 sets of 8 reps of *kitten* to the grass squats and compare how much your legs ache, that will tell you what is working the muscles more.....no one is saying cardio is bad. For anyone who has been leading a sedentary lifestyle anything that…

Weight loss is all about the energy equation. Any weight loss is going to be a combination of fat,muscle and water. The benefit of the exercise (especially resistance/weight training) is it helps to limit the amount of muscle loss. Another benefit of exercise is it gives you some extra calories to eat while still…

The stuff in the link I found above was $40US for 200g or 10 servings. Way more than I would pay for powdered bugs as well when I can get 4lbs of whey isolate for $70.00 cnd.

This whole derailment is weird.

Ya, those are a bit of an interesting macro profile. Compared to the cricket protein powder I saw which in a 20g serving was 13g of protein, 1.9g of fat, 0.2 carbs and 76 calories.
-
OP, you will have some retained water after a weekend of drinking, but with proper hydration it should smooth out over a couple days. To keep the calories down I try and stick to rum and diet coke or something similar.
-
I use them as they are a quick and easy way to supplement my protein to the level I want to support my lifting goals and maintain my lean muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. They certainly aren't necessary, more along the line of "do I want chicken or fish for dinner".

You can buy cricket protein, there are cricket farms in operation in the US right now. Many many cultures around the world incorporate insects as a viable source of dietary protein. http://www.ediblebugshop.com.au/p/8919994/cricket-protein-powder-200g.html
