"I haven't lost much weight and I'm struggling mentally and physically. " Maybe you need a little willpower? 1,000? Come on man. Get yourself together and stop whining because YOU overate. Everyone has the ability to say "no." So do you. So, next time you feel like a second helping, or whatever the hell it is you're…

Try cold green tea with a little lemon juice. I find that crystal light is way too sweet.

You can't spot reduce. Your body will take fat from wherever it needs to. I squat once a week (195 5x5) and found that I lost body fat in my legs before anythin else.

Where are your hands? Put your hands under your spine.

Rest day is just as important as exercising. Your muscles don't grow at the gym, they grow after the gym when you rest. Same applies to burning fat. And if your biking that much, I can assume you're building a good amount of muscle. Muscle helps in burning fat, so, rest is paramount.

Deal with it. Fem here, workout 6 days a week. I wear a bandana when I gym. I wash my hair once every two days. It's greasy? Put it in a pony, use bobby pins, it's not the end of the world. That's about all you can do. OR, you can buy some dry shampoo (it's like baby powder) and available at drugstores.

How much protein are you including in your diet? If you'd like to keep muscle, and burn fat it's important to aim for 1 lb of protein per lb of lean body mass. High protein consumption will not only preserve your muscle, but fat will we burned instead of muscle, as muscle is easier for the body to get energy from.

Maybe try intermittent fasting. Pick a set hour period throughout the day (say 2pm-8pm) and consume your calories between that time. Rest of the day, your body is burning that fat. Sometimes doing IF is the solution for those pesky pounds.

Going below parallel on my squats (yes free weight barbell). Have a difficult time going ATG, working on it slowly. And yes I know I can't add weight, but the other day I just knew I could do more. I'll be cutting for a while. When I start eating at maintenance, I'll do a 5x5 routine and my lifts will soar.

I haven't had this happen to me yet, but I prefer socks to chalk. But I do love chalking up nonetheless. Unnecessary amounts of chalk.

I find that they sacrifice form and quality for quantity and speed. One way ticket to Snap City.

My weight on the bar has plateaued, although i have recently PR'd on my deadlift while fasting. So, i've been doing 185 for reps on squat and deadlift since the fasting started, 95 on bench. Up to 195 for my deadlift though. The IF has definitely helped in burning body fat/bringing my BMI down. It may not be showing on the…
