  • I have to disagree with some of the replies above. I don't think it'll work itself out. If it started in the first place, and you aren't doing something directly to fix it, why would it fix itself? Definitely try isolateral exercises for your bicep. Do a few more sets, maybe more reps with the weaker side. These are why…
  • Roothlus, Like everyone mentioned, calories are definitely too low. A lot of people do that. They will under eat, do a ton of cardio, and then they hit a plateu and have nothing to adjust and stop losing weight. Even 1500 calories a day is still way too low for someone like you my friend. Especially days that you are going…
  • Legit Mia, Gaining muscle will cause you to gain weight. The goal when eating in a caloric surplus is to minimize the amount of fat you gain while gaining the most amount of muscle. Good luck! [Edited by MFP Mods]
  • GradChica, I would definitely incorporate squats (if holding the bar is okay for your arm), leg press with various foot placement, hamstring curls (seated or lying), and definitely bulgarian split squats. Try this for bulgarian split squats: Do 3 sets of 8, increasing weight each set. On your 3rd set, after doing 8 reps,…
  • SCoil, Can you tell me a little bit about your meal plan? What do you usually eat training days and non-training days? How many calories, and if you calculate macros how much protein, carbs, and fat? [Edited by MFP Mods]
  • For weight loss/cardio, anything in a pool works great. Try just swimming laps. Or try interval training while swimming - swim ten seconds and then just walk throughout the water, then repeat. For resistance training, I would start your leg workouts with a hamstring curl variation. This has helped me so much whenever I had…
  • You look fantastic! Good job on the progress!
  • I would say Essential Amino Acids are better, especially during training. They really help stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Hope this helps!
  • Hello, This is absolutely doable, or at least very close to 35 pounds. And doable at a healthy pace. If you lose two pounds per week, which is a very healthy rate but no more (1.5-2lbs/week is okay), then you would lose right around 30 pounds by July. What I recommend is not to cut out carbs completely. I would do a…
