I said nothing about TDEE. I said BMR. If you want to debate the accuracy of an InBody Scan, that's a topic for a different section of the forum. I'm done trying to share my knowledge with you all, which has been derived in places other than internet websites and what other people have told me. ✌ Good luck to you all.

Like I said I must be a medical/physical anomaly..

Well, I must be a medical/physical anomaly. When I started my journey at 290lbs and 29% BF, my BMR was 2055kcal measured by InBody Scan, not some chart. Now, at 250lbs and 17% BF my BMR is 2340kcal, again measured by InBody Scan.
-
So you're suggesting someone who is 350-400 pounds has a higher BMR than someone who is 220 pounds merely based on body weight? You're saying the larger person would require more calories merely based on weight?

Fuel your recovery with a ratio of 1g carb to 1g protein. Until I did this, I had a similar issue.

IMO, how much weight someone has to lose has no effect on their body's ability to adapt.

Seem rather short to be considered a break. Mine are 8 weeks long.

Dave's Killer Bread. Not low cal, but it's delicious!

At some point, I predict if you don't change your diet for a period of time, you'll hit a huge plateau. That's your body adapting to what you're telling it is its new normal.

20 min AMRAP of: 5 pull ups 10 push ups 15 air squats Otherwise known as Cindy.

Exactly why I recommend going to a gain cycle where you focus on lean mass building after 10-12 weeks (or you see a plateau/decrease in loss), which in turn will increase your BMR which will allow you to eat more and feel satiated and perform better in your workouts to burn more cals. In a cut cycle, or deficit as it's…

So, maybe "faster" isn't the right word. How about efficient? A certain body composition is usually the goal, which comes with weight loss and muscle gain. Building more muscle helps with weight loss and efficient fat burning. In order to escape adaptation, I, and many others I've trained/coached, have seen better than…

Train as much as you want, as long as you can recover. Elite athletes train up to 5-6 times a day, as their job requires. Remember, your workout is only as good as you can recover. The largest component of body composition and performance is diet. Focus on that and exercise as needed. Make sure you SLEEP!!

@pierinifitness This complex was lighter than normal since I'm in a deload for a competition in a couple weeks. I was a bit in my toes in that pull in the photo. Too quick off the ground and the bar got out in front of me. I've been avoiding split jerks because I have a broken toe in my back foot and it hurts like hello…

1:1 ratio of carbs to protein within 45 minutes of the completion of your workout. I use BCAAs once a day everyday as well.

Truffle fried chicken. Best thing I've ever ate in my life.

What are you looking to benefit from yoga? As a weight lifter, if you have enough mobility to reach the proper positions already, stretching and elongating can actually hurt your lifting performance. If you're looking to increase mobility due to lack of ability, go for it. Yoga trains different muscle tendencies than…

IT band and psoas could be tight. Could be heel striking. Feet could be tight. Lacrosse ball is your friend.

Any type of deadlift. Weighted walking lunges. Weighted box step ups. Box jumps.

You can lose weight consistently being in a deficit- however, I'd argue you'd lose it faster and more efficiently by avoiding adaptation. Same principle applies to muscular growth and strength. If you do the same exercises over and over, it's shown through impericle data that you plateau really hard, and in some cases lose…

I disagree - the masses generally aren't out burning 7-800 calories over and above their BMR. You shouldn't have to adjust once you get.closer to your goal in this formula because you'll be closer to homeostasis. How do you calculate your TDEE and BMR? InBody Scan? Faulty online formulas? Blood test?

Atkins 2.0 - fad diets never last.
-
Keto is a fad diet that is essentially Atkins 2.0 with a focus on high fat rather than high protein. It has its place, but it's not for everyone. Why wipe out an entire macro, and the one that's most important to your body? Ask yourself this - if eliminating things to increase the speed of which you lose weight, why not…

GOAL weight times 12 gives you your calorie goal. 37%carbs/33%protein/30% healthy fats.

Plateau means you're ready for a change. How long have you been in deficit?

Stretch/roll out your IT band.

It's not broadcasted enough that you need to cycle through phases regularly. You should be in no particular phase, other than maintenance, for more than 12 weeks. Reason being adaptation. The human body is incredibly efficient and learns quick! When your body realizes it doesn't have enough calories to meet demands (BMR +…

Where do you live? I get a 3 pound bag for around $12. Deli meat is about $8/lb. What is your usual source of protein?
