FWIW, I've swapped rack pulls for deadlifts and front squats for back squats due to back issues, and it has helped.

Disagree all you want; it's what works for me.

I never say no to 'bad' foods. If I hit my protein goal, stay within my calories, and don't go wild on carbs, then I eat (drink) whatever I feel like. And if I know I'm going to go over, I hop on the bike and bank some calories if I can.

I recommend AthleanX. Lots of arm and shoulder workouts, among many, many others
-
Also maybe retaining water from working out, depending on how new you are to lifting or how intense your workout is. A big change in your routine may affect you, also.

I am also doing a 4 day a week routine, but it would also work 3 days a week. I follow the EDT protocol (Charles Staley). I usually use this one when I want to lean out, but I'm eating a metric *kitten* ton of food lately, and I'm adding weight slowly and steadily.
-
My workouts start to drag if I don't take a break every 3-4 weeks. Alternatively, you could deload a bit and take a 'running start' at your goals.
-
Cheap protein powders often have cheap ingredients and an off taste. I would avoid Wal-Mart, Grocery Outlet, etal.

Usernames are hard

You had me at sarcasm.

It could be that you're eating too few calories to support your exercise.

Sounds to me like you've started once, but keep changing the plan (too soon). Consistency is the key. And improvement is the keychain - my original catchphrase, feel free to use it π There's only one way to lose weight, and that's eat fewer calories than you burn. How you do that matters less. Doing keto but ate a bunch ofβ¦

Yep, I need all of those same things π

I do the same thing for beer π

1 cup mashed banana 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup cocoa powder 3 scoops chocolate whey protein 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) Mix ingredients, fill mini cupcake tins (use the paper cups) almost full.

Google 160 bpm songs (or whatever your running pace is) and you'll find a variety of different music to pace yourself.
-
You may want to think about resistance training, too. Search on here for "skinny fat" (Terrible name, I know. Sorry).
-
What, exactly, do you want to do?
-
Deadlifts, but the plates have to be forged in Mordor.
-
AthleanX
-
And facebook! Edit: And it's a great business opportunity! π
-
Wait, there are lots of products and pills on TV that promise just that. You mean they aren't legit? π (I also love the "get a second one FREE, just pay a separate fee" pitch. I mean, WTF?)
-
What's your focus: is it you feel the need to finish their food, or you just want one bite of something? There are lots of lo-cal one-bite snacks.
-
Protein powder is legit. It's a very convenient way to hit your goal.

Hi! I'm not underweight by any means, but I am trying to gain 5-7 more pounds as I'm working out. I've set my profile for a slow gain and eat back all my exercise calories so some days I have 3200 calories or more to get down. I know how hard that can be.
-
Also, tap the serving size to get a pull-down menu of different servings. Some entries only have one serving size, tho.
-
Ok, I won't send a request, then π
-
I just feel like I don't have much in common with most posters. I dont want to be the deadweight on someone's friends list. π

I hope you've been doing well, eating well, staying on plan. Don't worry about trying to eat 'perfectly'. You have probably noticed by now that, if you've completely cut out eclairs and chocolate muffins, you will crave them. Focus on calories, not too many, and certainly not too few, and leave room for foods you like.β¦
