Honestly one of the best transformations I've ever seen.

I have two kinds.... The first is more of an impromptu "refeed" day I'll have every few weeks if I'm feeling like the low/cals of a cut or the intensity of the workout really got to met. It usually consists of a burger, fries, and maybe some kind of malt (usually from Whataburger or In-N-Out). The second ones are really…

Welcome to MFP! What I've learned is that motivation should not be used as a "spark" to light the fire, but rather, as bonus fuel to keep the flames burning higher. It's really about just doing the work, it's about breaking that barrier between your emotions and who you really are. Many times I have gone to the gym feeling…

The One Ring.

Awesome! I'd venture to guess 9%! Now time to bulk up! :)

Anything in excess will make you sick/lethargic. Moderation is key. Unless you drank a liter of coke, I'd suspect its the loads of biscuits that are weighing you down.

Changing your profile pic to something non-food related would be a step.

ALWAYS be a defensive driver. If someone is driving erratically or seems to be pissed off/speeding, slow down and take another lane. It's the little precautions that can be life saving! Download some podcasts and have them play on a playlist while you drive! As tempting as it can be, avoid checking your phone on long…

Being a legendary wing-man.

Been lifting for a few years now! I've been on a cut as of late so my lifts haven't moved up much, can't weight to get back to just eating and hitting PRs!

Do pushups and talk about trap workouts.

I'm 6'1, 215lb and do 1600 with a fast on Sunday for a cut. Works fine. At your size I wouldn't go lower than 1700.

Anyone in their late teens/20s who are into lifting or similar resistance training, feel free to add me! :) I track daily, and try to stay as active as possible communicating with my MFP contacts.

I tend to opt for organic items more out of an ethical standpoint than anything else. The patenting and without bar approach to GMOs via corporations, especially Monsanto, is something that in the long run I don't see as bringing any good. Immediate side effects for GMOs are mostly nill, but long-term is still unknown.

Appreciate the feedback!

I've had brisket and potato salad for breakfast, cheesecake for lunch, and a plate of bacon and eggs for dinner more than a few times.. #rebel

IMO and from personal experience there are two primary reasons as to why my weight loss halted. 1) Inaccurate Maintenance Calculation: Most of us tend to use a BMI/Maintenance calorie calculator to get our maintenance calorie level and then cut down from there, unfortunately in the beginning I overestimated certain aspects…

Thanks y'all! Sent out a request! :)

if you're working out regularly you NEED salt. Salt is crucial for muscle work, especially when you're in the gym sweating most of it away. Unless you're eating a family sized bag of Lays potato chips a day, don't stress about it. Just get your salt and drink plenty of water!

I'd check out PackerJohns article then. It could be form related (slumping, glute placement etc).

I'd recommend to only weigh yourself once a week or once every other week. The human body can fluctuate within ranges of over ten pounds in just a few days due to water retention etc. :)

I'm 21! Cutting down to 170 from 215, and then a bulk up again. Feel free to add me!

Sounds like you may have been using a High-Row Machine. The problem with machines is that they don't have as much freedom of range as free-weight lifting does. Therefore, if you've sustained an injury before or during a certain machine workout, that tight and controlled movement may hit something that brings up pain. I'd…

Push-ups work much more than your arms. How is your core? How wide do you spread your arms during push-ups?

No. Just track your cals and you'll be fine.

It's always the face and voice. ALWAYS. lol

A longer workout sesh, full-body style would be good. Hitting muscle groups at least twice a week helps tremendously IMO. Then rest up over the weekend.
