i would have clicked the link if it wasnt buzzfeed

Im no doctor, but from your responses it seems that low iron and low BP could be the culprit. Plus low food intake overall which exacerbates your situation.

Fat storage or depletion is a result of a continuous reversible thermodynamic process whose direction and rate (point of equilibrium) depends upon energy in/out of the body. The main point is that the process in continuous (always on), rather than discrete (occurring only in intervals). There is no set daily time after…

3 days a week full body compound exercises 5x5

Just like humans are addicted to water, air and food?

Thanks all. Today, I didnt go as low as I normally do and didnt face any issue. So I guess going too low was the culprit. Hopefully, this should also save my shoulder from getting hurt.

Im going to do dips again today. if it pains during or post workout, ill stop doing dips for a while.

should have worded the post better. I didnt mean the sternum per se. but the localized area immediately left and right to it. so im not sure if its cartilage or muscle.

you could also try hook grip for fun. i tried it once, though it was no fun at all.

Stronglifts5x5 suggests rest of 1min 30sec upto 3 minutes between sets. 5 mins rest after a failed set. I haven't read, but i recall someone commenting that Starting strength advises 3-7 mins of rest between sets.

if you cant bend down to tie your shoelaces then its time to lose weight. Body positivity is useless if you cant tie own shoelaces.

Input your new stats into mfp to get new calorie goals. Weigh all food that you consume, and log it with accurate entries.

First off. Enable negative calorie adjustment in mfp settings using PC. When you add an exercise, your steps are likely resynced by mfp at that time. If you walk a lot till noon, you might see a big positive calorie adjustment. If you just sleep after that, you might notice the adjustment get smaller and smaller and might…

Ok thanks. Sl5x5 takes a lot of time for me nowadays. Maybe i will switch to 3x5.

Keep some nuts and peanut butter handy? Very easy to add 200kcal using those

As he said. Update your details on mfp to get new calorie goals. Maybe eat at maintenance for 2 weeks to reset your body. Then continue. Low intensity exercise (ie walking) will be good if you can add that. Also weigh each and everything you consume and log it accurately.

Its best to refuel some after the gym. I eat till just before i sleep. Just make sure you stay within your calorie goals. Eating at night wont make you fat if youre in an overall caloric deficit.

Depends on the country/city you live in and the norms there.

Yes. Muscle is mostly built on rest and recovery days.

He just agreed. He gave no such reason haha

This. Your issue is psychological.

When im off to work outside home city for a week or more, i consciously eat a little less than i want to, and end up maintaining. Just experience from 2 10day stints. No idea if i can carry this on at home for years at a stretch.

If bulking, 1gm per pound is more than enough. So 160gm protein is sufficient. Let the carbs and fat fill the rest of the calories naturally. It wont matter for your bulk.

Bmr is what you burn if in a coma. If your bmr is 1960, your goal to maintain weight must be above 2300 at the least depending on activity level. Your math is completely wrong. If 2300 is your maintenance, eat 1800 a day to lose half a kg a week.

Compound exercises. Program like starting strength or stronglifts5x5. Eat at maintenance or slightly above. Decent protein intake. 1 year to see some results. Lifting 3x a week. Better to do cardio, yoga or pilates on the other 4 days. If doing a strength program, my suggestion is to keep cardio at low intensity.

So in your opinion will i gain strength faster if i stick to Stronglifts compound exercises but switch to 3x5 instead of 5x5?

Why not do mixed grip deadlift only when your double overhand grip starts failing at a higher weight?

If you are weighing all food and logging correctly, give it more time. You should see a lot of weight coming off quickly at some point later on.

Eat at 1540 plus most of your exercise calories that day to lose close to your goal loss per week. After 4 weeks, readjust. I would not aim for more than 1.5lb a week loss.

Sounds like symptoms of low blood pressure. Up the salt intake if BP is always low.
