If you've lost it before and already have noticed it is creeping back up, you just need to realize you already have all the tools and information you need. It would be nice if getting in shape was a thing you did once and it was over, but it is just a sum of habits over time. Habits you already know how to build for…

Do you have a structured lifting plan for your bulk?

If your thoughts can be reduced to an aphorism, they're not nuanced enough to listen to. - MagnusTheNerd.

Wait, isn't that the other way to get rid of your sodium?

Start a revolution: throw out your ruler.

Seems like a physics question, really.

Yes. Sets done to failure have a much higher recovery cost than sets done with a lower rate of perceived exertion (RPE). They also produce no greater hypertrophy, and may in fact give worse hypertrophy.

Would it be okay if I use someone else's devices in the sauna?

And too much is never enough is a contradiction, but at least it sounds good with a beat on it.

The unreleased Norwegian powerlifters study showed that it is perfectly possible to train the same muscle every day and have it make progress. From listening to Menno, it seems though that if you want to do so optimally, you probably want to have different training modalities. His example included a strength style heavy…

Loose skin is going to look more like this:

Does that mean this thread is becoming reprocessed, and thus absolutely must be becoming worse for health?

Rarely have I found a post I disagree with so much, and yet felt so little interest in bothering with presenting counter factuals. At most I feel like just bring up the cliched life expectancy of our primal ancestors as died at the ripe old age of found a delicious spot of tuberculosis infected carrion.

So level 5 vegans eat nothing that cast a shadow, but level 6 vegans eat everything in shadows?

When you have loose skin it is... loose. What's there looks like it has stuff inside. Do you do any strength training, or just HIIT? You may have a lack of lean mass.

Strips aren't particularly reliable, and there's not much point to trying that strict to be in ketosis if it isn't for treating a medical condition like epilepsy.

Interesting there seems to be at least a few people that found a cardio that was fun, but view weights as purely functional. I'm about the opposite. I've found running fun at the times I've done something new in it, but even the scenic outdoors stuff, I still just get the most out of whatever I'm listening to and the…

I wouldn't know, if I ever ran at 155, it was before I was a teenager. I do remember the worst run of my life was trying to get under a 10 minute mile and I was still around or over 200. I think I was 5-15 seconds off. I was sure I was going to puke in the bathroom at the store I went to after, and just barely kept it in.…

End of marriage put me on the path of losing weight. At this point my losing and keep off weight has lasted just a bit longer than the marriage if I got by her moving out / filing and not the added 6 months the courts required.

Honestly wanted saintor to answer.

1. It sounds like grip strength might be an important element of your riding. You might want to look into a grip trainer like captain of crush. You could just keep them with you and do them through the day, working on increasing reps, or eventually using harder grips. Don't do them until failure - hold back several reps…

If by cheated and stayed under calories you mean you reintroduced carbs, then generally you'd have refilled at least some of your glycogen and the associated water weight. You could have had more water weight the last time you did keto. If by healther keto, you mean you're actually getting in vegetables, you might not be…

A generic RMR calculator wouldn't even put that as resting maintenance for 70 pound, 4ft tall woman.

I'm a dad. I don't seem to have dad bod. Does that make my body a faux pa?

Given you've stated best to reduce fat and lose weight, there's a potential implication of losing far and gaining or maintaining weight. Seems that would be better than walking because it would be a large change in composition.

What even is DIT?

If that's the contention, I extremely don't get it. Would a person who was raised vegan be okay, then, to eat beyond burgers, but someone that knows eating cows is doing something wrong having one? If not, the argument seems like there's an assumed spiritual component to veganism? Pretty sure nonspiritual veganism exists.

Not sure how well one can get a buy in if people never find a way to actually enjoy the workout. Extrinsic motivation seems to be a rather weak motivator. If I'm overgeneralizing and it is just we need to have people realistically accept some workouts are going to suck, but you might need to get through them anyway, sure.…

To me, this sounds like a morality that is grounded in what it presents to others - the appearances of impropriety - rather than one grounded in consequences, or one grounded in particulars or virtues.

If your concern was dental hygiene, all sugar might be important. If you're general non-calorie counting public, added sugar is worth advising against because the foods that contain it are ones likely to lead to overeating. If you're calorie counting and don't have a metabolic disorder being in a deficit or even staying at…
