See you on Lose It. MFP destroyed any usefulness of this site.

  • Mfp was so buggy overall for years. I literally can't believe anyone paid. They clearly were not taking any portion of the money and putting it towards proper development. Things seem to work at loseit, let alone I've already seen posts about how thier customer service is actually responsive. MFP is getting what it…
  • Sorry. Inflated number. If remotely true, the majority are bots (Remember the Russian spam/fake friend requests? ) at least I got to decide whether to accept or not. New system. Public or completely private. No filter between. For 200 million people, im certain MFP would be inclined to fix this entire site. Otherwise they…
  • Someone posted the link for you. I just want to add this is another issue with what MFP is doing to it's customers/users. Blindsiding them. One little post in a forum no one likely visits that often. I'm guessing this is intentional so they can continue to hide by their statement the newsfeeds weren't used that much.…
  • Im surprised MFP didn't try to make this a premium feature lol. Can't add anything that all the reasonable people have already mentioned. So RIP MFP. You won't recover from this poor, lazy, decision.
  • R.I.P MFP
  • This site will forever be a POS. How many times do we need to see UH OH a day?
  • Agreed, adding obtrusive updates to the UI while ignoring functionality and issues that have existed on this site for several years now just shows how oblivious the owners and Devs are. Things like allowing a simple paragraph shouldn't be beyond a programmer's reach... All its going to take is a site with a healthy social…
  • The entire update is brutal, not user friendly, and plain ugly. It amazes me how out of touch the Devs are with this site. Why fix cosmetics when so many other areas are broken on here? It's to the point it's more frustrating than enjoyable. Must be other working sites out there.
  • Been here awhile, and went pretty quiet for a bit. But working my way back to it. So, sure, add if you would like to.
  • 42, sometimes 12. Looking to add a few. Pals..not pounds.
  • To me, nothing wrong with going off for a day or even being exactly rigid 100% of the time. Some guys recommend you don't get stressed over the window or the days. Sounds like you're doing great, but some flexibility will totally be ok when needed. With 8 weeks in, I also believe it will be no problem picking it back up…
  • Commenting here. Been here a while, along with all the ups and downs. On daily. Go for it!
  • Welcome and hello back! If you want pals, send a request if you like. Cheers!

  • ummm yeah. If done properly, It will make you stronger. lol.
  • You don't need to be sweaty. If followed, there is plenty of rest between sets. As it progresses, it will get harder but even then I found I didn't sweat much. Now recovery from all the squats..... lol. Keep going with it, the program works well for strength. EDIT: Not sure of your strength level, but if you just started,…
  • Alberta here, I'll accept new pals. Cheers!
  • Thought that said feel a friend Friday. Crap!
  • That made me laugh a little, just the irony of it all. on a computer(not sure how the app works with this) If you click on the name under the pic, a window pops up. Click on the name in the pop up and it will bring you to their profile. From there you can add. Feel free to add me too if you like.

  • Maybe not convenient but could you lay out some plywood or something to help distribute the load on the floor better? What about rack pulls? Maybe not as good as deads from the floor, but something at least. For what its worth, I did Allpro's for a 5 week run. Something different. Enjoyed it even, but found going to the…
  • Im pretty sure I seen you on bodybulding.com. Checked out a youtube vid even. Pretty sure its you, lol. If not, either way an amazing transformation and dedication!
  • I don't often post in the forums, but you describe me pretty much to a tee. Let it go. Then when you hit 285, see how hard it is to hit 236. Pretty f'n hard and a long task if ya ask me. Take it from experience bud. Take care of it now. Not when your nearing 40. I've felt the way you do. I still feel that way some days.…
  • Definitely no expert, but I would think gains are still very possible on this routine for you (if your goal is strength). You may have to play with the progression, but if the weights are going up, that would be progression lol . Assuming those are one rep maxes, 50-60% seems reasonable to me to start. If they are working…
  • I do agree on the intermediate and not moving into it yet. I don't feel my numbers are there nor my diet is right for it either. I know I was doing ok before adjusting cals and cutting cardio out for the most part. My intent is continue diet wise for 3 more weeks to hopefully see an improvement and slowly up things from…
  • Thanks for all the replies. Yes, I definitely feel its squats killing me. 245lbs is my last full 5x5. On Sunday. Felt great even. As for deficit, yes, Imean an increase in deficit. Nothing crazy, but being at a stand still in fat loss, i felt it was warranted. I realize Id have to eat, to continue gains in strength, but…
  • What are your goals? Weight loss? Bulking up? Both those are more diet than lifts as Im sure you know. And great gains btw. Its always been my understanding this is a strength program. Not to say you cant cut or bulk on it, but for gaining strength. In response to your question, I would give it a little more time. Maybe…
  • Once the weights got heavier I did also. I cut cardio out eventually. Recently added it back, purely for the calorie side of it. But switched programs for a bit too. I did 5x5 since April, no complaints with it, will probably go back even but wanted a change for a bit. Doing Allpros beginner at the moment (the last 6…

  • Thanks. Been using it pretty faithfully. Now if I could just weld my mouth shut I'd be all set lol.
  • If your interested in Stronglifts, Youtube Stronglifts 5x5 Both workout A and workout B are done in their entirety in two vids. Very simple program to follow and multiple apps just for it. If that is not what your looking for I would second the suggestion for BB.com. Go to the forums, workout programs and look for beginner…
