60lbs on the fixed barbells. The dumbells go up to 60lbs as well. I'm generally around 137lbs or so, shot up a bit atm after a trip and some air travel that I'm recovering from.

Still plenty of playing around to do. Tuesday- Early morning workout before work: Upper Body Hypertrophy Barbell Incline Bench- 4 sets of 12 Barbell Bench Press- 3 sets of 12 Fly- 3 sets of 12 Cable Tricep Extension Machine- 3 sets of 12 Cable Lat Pulldown Machine- 3 sets of 12 Cable Row Machine- 3 sets of 12 Barbell Bicep…

Makes total sense, here's what I was thinking of switching to, in actual order this time Monday- Rest Day Tuesday- Early morning workout before work: Upper Body Hypertrophy Barbell Incline Bench- 4 sets of 12 Barbell Bicep Curl- 3 sets of 12 Fly- 3 sets of 12 Cable Tricep Extension Machine- 3 sets of 12 Cable Lat Pulldown…

Lots of good advice for me to take in here, I appreciate it! I'll add a few comments above in the quote where applicable.

Thank you! This pretty much summarized the thought process I had been leaning towards. I've mostly been worried about trying to get rid of the last of the saggyness around the lower belly/sides and lower back. But filling out first might be the right plan before cutting again. I'm going on a trip in a few weeks, so my…

I'm thinking not logging the exercise is probably the best thing to stick with. I feel like I'd be off too much trying to estimate calories for lifting one way or another. At this point I do still seem to be slowly losing at 1800, so I'll stick with that until I feel it needs to go down, or I hit a point where I'm…

I do share it, and eat different size portions when I do eat it. Sounds like if I was to change method at all, I would want to weigh the whole batch after cooking and letting it cool so the moisture had evened out. Maybe I will try that the next time and see if it comes out to a big enough difference to make it worthwhile.

I appreciate the feedback! I am definitely trying to keep some amount of variety. I've always been a pretty simple/picky eater, so am trying to branch into some new things, but some like veggies I've still stuck with the classics for the most part. I do try not to go too crazy on the powder and shakes for protein, tempting…

Caught my mistake, my diary wasn't set to public, but is now. Any critique or advice on it would be very welcome.

Sounds like a good starting point then. I don't drink myself no so worries there, but I don't mind too much if I go a bit over on protein. I do try to be pretty consistent day to day as much as possible though.

Based on that site result "Intakes of up to 151 grams/day may provide additional benefit, based on limited evidence." Which would be easier to fit than the current 178 I'm on. So if I used bodyweight of 138 x .4 = 55 (per Tom's advice,) I could just fill in the rest as carbs?

I could always use more on my friends list, it isn't very active at the moment. I log everyday so I'm always on there at some point!

I log everyday if you want to add me. Mind you it doesn't have a whole lot of variety to it as I bring the same lunch to work everyday, lol. I do try to stay consistent with not missing any days though, and log my strength training as well.

I just started doing 16:8 and really like it so far. I do it in combination with keeping track out calories, and doing cardio and weightlifting 5 days a week. I find it also really help me keep my calories down simply because I get full restricting all the eating within those house. I'll have days when I log my food and…

Thanks for the link, according to the measurements I took it put me at 20.15, so I still have a ways to go, but I'm making progress. I'll have to post up the current before and after face pictures I have, it's already a pretty noticeable difference from where I started.

That's one problem is I don't really have a set goal weight in mind. Probably more of a goal for body fat being somewhere around 12-15% or so. Just a loose estimate, but I've seen several people say that's usually the range they start really having definition in abs which is kind of what I'm going for. The calculator I…

According to the days I've logged on MFP so far I get about 150-160 g of protein a day, so I could up it a bit still to get to 1 g/lb.

This is one thing I have been thinking about since I do use general measurements for most of my food, I only measure some things that I can do with a scoop or measuring cup, but I know even that wouldn't be as accurate as an actual food scale. I do lift 2-3 days a week, since I alternate with cardio days. Just haven't been…

Thank you, I'm going to try reaching out to a few people in there. Hopefully I can find a good match!

Feel free to add me, my diary is public as well!
