Trying one out at the gym or someone you know is good advice, even if all you.learn is wht you.DONT want 🤔 The rest is that hype.i already warned about.

Nearly any belt will work, Angela. Dont be 'sold' some hype - any belt that let's you push your abs against something is good. Some points ..... Unless you are well over 6 feet tall, a belt wider than 4" is a bad idea. In fact, I dare say people under 5'10" or so (me) are fine with a 3" wide belt. A belt supports your ABS,…

At 50-sumthin, I weigh 200 lbs. Dont know what the 'max's 1-rep is, but I squat cupple hunnert repeatedly, bench press cupple hunnert repeatedly, and deadlift cupple hunnert easily. Which, ya gotta admit, would be considered pretty darn impressive for a teen girl. NO, WAIT .... 😳 🤔

Good for you, starting the workouts! As for protein, i really think there are extremists on both ends. Protein doesnt 'take up' a lot of calories ... about 4 calories per gram. So 160g is only 650 calories. Young as you are, that's not much. 👌 whatever you're doing for calorie count, I'd recommend start with 30% of your…

The only way he gets his hips higher is bring a step stool 😂

I pointed out that if he doesnt like it, it may not be from doing it wrong. I have done it 'right' and dont like it, even with ingredients I do like. Be insulted if you like. Some folks like that option. 👌

I dont think we're talking about the same thing here.

I never eat broccoli, or even anything with brocolli in it. Wife says dont be a baby, just pick out the broccoli. I said fine, when I make chili, just pick out the jalapenos.

And THERE is the issue. 'Enough' sleep is enough to allow ypu.to DO the workouts.

👍

Strange what some are willing to call' evidence'. Muscle strengthens by performing "work". Eccentric, concentric, or isometric - not without purpose. 'Planks' are. 'good', compared to couch sitting. But this isometric contraction can never equate to the flexion/extension of concentric and eccentric motion. Anybody thinks…

Not sure how somebody 'didnt think there was an issue" with 50lbs, but if theres a 50lb difference between tracking and not tracking, then certainly.

Theres certainly nothing 'wrong' with crunches, which are very beneficial when done correctly. The purpose of your ab muscles is to flex the spine. Yes, it stabilizes while performing other exercises (meaning it opposes extension of the spine). Just like the serratus 'aids' a bench press. Keep in mind that any exercise…

Moderately heavy (to me) squats, trap bar deadlifts, rows, pullups. Other words what some call legs/back workout.

Course, that raises the question .... If you 'didnt think I had an issue', then WHY the change?

Honestly, I dont know how anybody eats that stuff. I LOVE oatmeal, ate it for decades. But cold oatmeal I just cant do. I tend to think others think the same.thing, but its trendy like the emporers new clothes .... ppl do what they see others do. Just sayin, dont be shocked if you 'get it right' and arent impressed. 😳

Shoot, reading other responses, indeed nobody actually told you ... You can change this percentage by clicking "goals" and then sliding the numbers.

Many recommend 1 gram protein per kg of body weight, other words half a gram per pound, or divide your weight by 2 to get GRAMS of protein. Bodybuilders aiming at a much higher level of muscle gain (and doing far more intense workouts than most) might consume twice that. At 200 lbs, I consider 100g protein a minimum, which…

Just checked chicken drumstick for lunch. Ordinarily dont eat dark meat, but will today. Looks like 4 oz might be 140 cal. Or might be 180 cal 🤔

Did you LOG the SAME list item, or just pick the same foods? I mean, I can search 'chicken breast' and get a WIDE range of "information" - I mean wide as in not even same planet.

Scrambled eggs (2 whole.eggs+ 3 whites) with red onion, fresh garlic, chopped jalapeno, 1tbs veg oil, sriracha sauce, and 8 oz vanilla almond milk with 1.5 scoops (58g) vanilla cream protein powder, and Black coffee

The price of dumbbells is the only reason I endure some of those poops at the gym. Well, that and it's cold outside. The local rec center is pretty low cost and has a great set,(plus cable machines, squat racks) for a year for.less than a set of dumbbells.

Yeah, I'm a bit.more muscled than some, plus I wanted to take a shot at the marketing.people, if just for a minute 😎 Never really had much extra weight until illness required meds. The meds alone didnt make me gain weight - the diet you have to eat to make the meds WORK is not good though. So, I DID (and still do) have…

NET carbs is STILL carbs 😏 Somebody always working in the marketing dept! it's like, Snickers are "fat free", which may be true but eat 2 a day and see if YOU are fat free! *fat free doesnt mean sugar & carb free

Well, 'a lot' of muscle is subjective opinion (Arnold doesnt even know who i am) but yeah, I have enough lean tissue that only way I'd ever weigh less than 190 or so would be to remove one limb 😂 That said, I'm going to aim at getting to 190 and.we'll see how that carries.

I rest my case .... 8 'disagree' that if you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight. And that's people who claim to track calories 😂

Now, you "could" watch them line up to disagree with the above and rant, or you could realize that if you're burning more than you're taking in, you lose weight. And exercise.is better way to lose weight than simply not eating (youll lose weight, but not the weight you want to lose).

Dont let em wind ya up Flex. There are some round here so busy knowing stuff you cant tell them anything. You absolutely can build muscle.while losing total body weight. Your body will learn to burn (use) fat stores more efficiently, converting that to the energy you need (basically the whole idea of 'keto'). It's the…

Same brand, but I always get vanilla - can mix it with anything. Add banana, blackberries, strawberries, sometimes throw in a vanilla yogurt. Tried the choc by mjstake - on the wrong shelf where vanilla supposed to be and I didnt check it. Got home, might have cried a little 😏 but I'm too cheap to not use it, so I mix it…
