exogenous ketones will NOT, read NOT put you into ketosis/fat burning. Just... just skip this crap entirely. The biggest effect it has is floods you with ketones, so you pee out a lot of ketones.

^ 5/3/1 you do is vastly superior to any other program you won't do! I agree it's a much more enjoyable workout.

It's the only thing that works for /everyone!/ :)

As an aside, are you doing 5/3/1? Typically it benefits intermediate/advanced lifters more.

If you want benefit from that, super heavy weights over short distances is ideal. see: Farmer's carry.

Well, it's hard to recommend because you may be participating in a pain-causing activity (poor form squats, poorly fitted bicycle) that said, check out DeFranco's agile 8 or limber 11. That usually fixes folks up.

Yeah, my knees cave like crazy when I'm squatting 225. I even get some caving on high rep 135.

All right, I'll stick to the bands for now and see how far that gets me. And my band is, incidentally red, so that would be an accurate answer... :) And @ that machine: Probably yes, it was just the first result on image search.

More or less, yes. It's always worked out well for me in the past. Have to consider, the target audience for the exercises includes the elderly and people with severe atrophy (Been there, done that.)

You know, the good-girl, bad-girl machine.

Up. If it's more than 5 reps I also count like... 8: 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 12: 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 etc.

Same issue. Doing this helps. Especially the first one. http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/carpal-tunnel/stretching-exercises-for-preventing-carpal-tunnel-syndrome Monitor your form for possible corrections.

f*** motivation. get discipline. - lots of successful people

Talk to a doctor. Check out Dr. Stuart MCgills work. Avoid random internet advice and chiropractors. You need to a medical professional.

"Yes but I'm getting an abortion this afternoon" That'll shut 'em up

Gold bond

Squatting to just past parallel is fine. ATG is a waste of energy. 135 for 20? Why so many reps? You're probably getting gassed. And no, no machine will work like a squat.

Weight lifting shows a level of dedication and accomplishment. Being attracted to that is definitely NOT superficial. You rock, and don't settle for someone that doesn't (in your eyes.)

Neat gimmick. Might be fun to do hypertrophy or assistance work on. No replacement for real ohp, squat, deadlift.

No. Wait. Yes. As it does in soda, milk, watermelon, and anything else with h20 content. Except, maybe, if you like to drink a tall warm glass of milk of magnesia before leg day.

calorie counters based on heart rate is also an estimate, and often a poor one. Go with the one you think underestimates. It's probably closer to the truth.

I only log the minutes spent lifting, NOT the total time. An hour of weightlifting can only have 15-30 minutes of active lifting time, depending on weight/rest. That translates to like 100-150 calories.

easy answer: 120 grams of protein. More is fine. A little less is fine.

i stick it opposite of my holster to even the weight out a bit.

funny, i was thinking how cheap $2 for a cookie is

Dr. Stuart McGill's "back mechanic" has me back under the barbell and stronger than ever.

^ use calisthenics instead.

Two hardboiled eggs. Sometimes a slice of cheese and a little salami. Almonds.
