High protein!

I can adjust the weight increments in the app down to 1lb (maybe less). Are you not able to change it to less than 2.5kgs?

I like to call this the "beginner's blowout." You did too much too soon.

Once you pop, you can't stop!

There's no good way to deadlift with the octagon plates. They'll either roll away or roll into your shins. You might want to switch to Romanian Deadlifts.

Honestly, whenever you want.

If the squat is the only concern, just substitute squats with the leg press. You can make steady progress with the leg press following the SL model.

That's hilarious!

Only acknowledge men, never acknowledge women. Women live in daily terror, you don't want to spook them.

I fixed it for you.

I wish I got cat called and hit on.. :( I guess I'm too ugly.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Thank you.

Is that before or after factoring in your 12000 steps?

Whew, that's fast! 1500 calorie deficit per day is no joke.

Did anyone do the math on this? It looks like it was a loss of 3.5 lbs a week. Whaa??

There is no point. I wrestle with this dilemma everyday, but I'm a cynical *kitten*.

I love the StrongLifts app.

This.

Hyperextention is movement beyond normal range of motion. What gets hyperextended? What body shapes?

Nice work

I'd argue the correct way to do any exercise is to do it with full range of motion.

Yes, you are correct in saying that just a caloric deficit is need to lose weight. I think it's safe to say that he's not talking about losing weight at any cost.

@ninerbuff are you having a bad day? I can't see any justification for you to start making arguments (strawman?) against the OP. I read the OP as someone that figured out how to get to their goals and wanted to share their story. I guess you could argue that he's on the wrong forum for that, but I didn't read anything that…

I don't think he said anything about "new" information. Maybe I missed it, though.

Whoa.. I lose weight on 2200 and I'm only 5'9" 170 lbs. with an activity level of sedentary.

Hitting PRs makes lifting enjoyable for me. If I was not progressing in my lifts in some way I would become bored too.

Oops. To clarify, it's 0.5-1.0 lbs per month for the first several months.

I tend to agree with this. Endurance is quick to build and quick to lose. Strength is slow to build and slow to lose.

I prefer doing my "cardio" this way as well. Using a heart rate monitor to auto-regulate my conditioning intervals based on how quick I recover is the most enjoyable way imo.

For a woman, on the proper eating and lifting program, it's possible to gain 0.5-1.0 lbs of muscle in the first several months. After that it tends to drop off pretty substantially. As far as building muscle in a caloric deficit, you can if you fall under a couple different circumstances. New to lifting? Lots of fat to…
