Ya I agree with the first answer. Low impact exercise has a lessened chance of causing you more pain. Swimming is good too! Good luck!

Yep, that would bug me. I'd edit them: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/my_goals/daily_nutrition_goals Good luck on keto, always wanted to try it.

Ya whenever I know that is going to happen I just put a little extra time on the treadmill or jumping rope.

You sure. They don't keep it with milk at my store and its on the bottom shelf. So damn hard to find.

I just eat store brand plain and add my own honey and what not.

THIS!!

update. Had the MRI read again. T5, T6, T7 with disk herniation on the side with all the pain. Good news is that disk herniation is manageable with PT.

"Make an appointment with a physical therapist! " I want to do this, but the pain I feel can not be from a simple alignment issue. It hurts too much.

6'3" was 8% at 179. I sit around 14ish at 188-190. Goal is 200 at 12% bodyfat. a nice slow bulk, go for strength first not just all size.

what are your ratios at? Check this video out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLhtjYoU9aQ

Plan a healthy snack. That way you can eat and it fits within your numbers.

I hope it works out for you.

If I where you I would make my own with protein powder and milk. A good 5 lb 70 serving protein is $53. I recommended Optimum Nutrition. Buy online at bodybuilding.com or some place like that. In GNC it is near 100 bucks this month because it is not a "hot buy."

i would make your own. Many recipes on youtube.

Nice work. You deserve it.

you could make your own at home. bake the chicken and use a whole wheat bun. boom. healthy

cardio on off days when you can fit it in. If your doing heavy lifitng and heavy cardio one will have to be toned back or your lifting will suffer. You will be getting stronger but your wont be able to show it in the gym.

Do give yourself some rest days and "cheat" day. Don't go all out, but one day where you allow yourself to have a night out with your friends with nothing hanging over your head about logging every little piece of food you eat is a good thing.

I eat at my college dining hall for every meal. I like to have 3-4 different meals that my dining hall is guaranteed to have and simply rotate them to keep it fresh. For example for lunch I have grilled chicken, green vegetable, and an egg salad sandwich every day. When I want to switch it up I eat steak instead of chicken…

ah got ya

5/3/1 on a cut. How many calories a day deficit are you doing? Jim says that deloads are mandatory in the first edition. But in the second edition he says you can skip them your first couple of cycles because 90% of the actual max produces a training max that is light. But starting light and progressing slowly is the idea…

I understand what your saying. My glutes where not activated at the top because I did not finish the movement with a hip thrust and squeezing my glutes. But on the way up I was trying to use my hips. That is what the box squat is good for. Using my back to lift the weight would look like a good mourning. I was too upright.…

thanks

Low bar is hard for me because I dont have enough mass on my upper back yet. But a mid bar position it what i am aiming for now.

Will do. Thanks man.

I received the pain during regular squats about 10 min before this clip was filmed. So I used the box to try and fix it. Maybe filming the regular sets would have helped more.

I use the bench as a box to box squat on. Box squatting is the best way to learn to squat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ME8gEN54Ao

Louie Simmons suggests relaxing the hips at the bottom and then exploding. While Dave Tate says to stay tight. Two different schools. But at this point it does not really matter as I seem to be lacking in fundamentals.

Ill try and film a few sets of a regular squat with a few fixes.

Makes sense. Ill give it a go
