  • Macros are based on body weight. 2500 is not enough to bulk. You probably need 2100-2200 calories per day to maintain your weight on days you DON'T work out. If you are lifting, add a couple hundred to that. If you want to truly bulk you should be at 2700-3000 calories.

  • Go into the cardiovascular exercise area, select strength training. They allot calories, fairly accurately. If you do circuit training that option is available as well.

  • You are currently at a healthy and sustainable BF%. With some dedication anything in the double digits is sustainable. 10-12% seems to be the sweet spot for looking good and feeling good whilie still being able to lead a pretty normal life.

  • In the supplement world creatine is the tried and true. It works and is safe, so if it works for you keep taking it. Follow the recommended dosage, but if you can get the good benefits with less, that is certainly ok. My one suggestion would be to stick with creatine monohydrate. That is the most common, cheapest, most…

  • Hello! I obviously have not a clue what you are going through because I can not birth children. BUT I do know that is more difficult to lose weight after having a child. *Double check your PRT date versus when your child was born, if it is w/in 6 months you don't have to do the PRT. If you do need to do it... get focused…

  • As has been said, you need to eat more. Your body has most likely entered starvation mode and your metabolism has slowed to a snails pace to preserve the calories you do take it.

  • Personally, it was a waste of money for me. Like anything else; what works for one won't necessarily work for all.

  • I run a lot better outside as well. I think it is the environment more than anything. Running outside gets you somwhere and provides many other things to look at / think about besides how many more miles you have left.

  • Dumbbells work well as long as they are heavy enough. Smith machine is not bad either. I periodically to deadlifts on the smith, it takes some stabilizing out of equation but once you get the hang of it, it is pretty good. No need to shun the smith machine.
