It's unlikely that you need to monitor dietary cholesterol. Turns out all that old advice to not eat eggs was just wrong.

Cool. Now double it.

Wait for Saw to explain the game to us.

A single medium apple has more than 22 grams of carbs.

Much depends on what you mean by carb restriction. Do you actually have a medical issue? If so, find out what level you need from your doctor. It is not terribly difficult to each moderate carbs, just make lower carb choices each time you eat. It is hard to eat nearly zero carbs, and to do that will require careful…

It was the last squat rep of the day, I had some creatine in my eye, I was training fasted, I lost an hour of sleep due to the time change, I felt rushed because the gym was closing soon, and I was distracted by news of the Arnold. I couldn't possibly hit depth under those conditions. LOL.

This is not the sweet video reply from someone knowledgeable like you were hoping for. Just some comments from a brother in iron who can't lift as much as you. 1) It looks like you're leaning too far forward. This is something I'm working on myself. This will make your squat pretty inefficient depending on the degree, but…

She deactivated.

Lol

Working on staying more upright without squat shoes or a belt. Any comments, other than the terrible video quality (sorry)? http://youtu.be/HzPL7HojuF8

For deadlifts, yes, return the bar to the floor and do not take advantage of any "bounce" for the next rep. You should always lift the bar off the floor from a dead stop, hence the term deadlift. You may want to completely reset each rep until you ingrain this pattern. For barbell rows, you do NOT typically return the bar…

Agreed. 5x5, heavy weights, fast progression, and cutting is a brutal combination. Throw in some age and it may be counterproductive for some.

My opinion is that you don't need powders, especially an overpriced one like Shakeology.

Thanks. This summer there is a meet I want to do. I tweaked my shoulder and my bench is in the tank, need some time for rehab and strength building.

It's very easy if the video is on Youtube. Get the shareable link then paste it in your message.

Good speed on those pulls! I'm also in a significant deficit and adding weight. I forgot that is impossible, drat.

I will advocate a 3.1x5 and call it a 5kx5. Everyone competes in metric, and we might as well train in metric.

OP is making all this up and just wants people out of "his" squat rack.

500 lb deadlift is my short term goal. It's possible but a stretch that I could do it immediately. I may not actually attempt it until my next meet.

I only have 29 days, sorry.

There is nothing wrong with eating a chocolate bar every day.

Eat what you want to eat. I frequently eat a full dinner before my evening workout, it doesn't bother me one bit. But that might be disaster for you.

Ding ding ding.

Spend all your time lifting, and talk about lifting between sets.

Starting from where you are, I would just focus on becoming more active, do anything you can actually adhere to. This should improve your fitness a great deal. If you succeed in that, take up something more vigorous, if desired.

I hit 415x5 and caused an earthquake. It was easily a 4.2 on the meh-ter scale. http://youtu.be/OAqomcdYGGA

I've listened to it. I really enjoyed the program where Brandon Lilly talked about his injury and recovery.

I try to do it without the aid of a mirror, because there aren't mirrors available at meets. Basically I always put my hands at the same spot on the bar, and I try to center myself between my hands by feel. This works for me, but you might need to experiment.

You should definitely lift.

It is absolutely not inevitable to lose muscle while in a deficit, at least not for everyone. Yes, lifting will help, even more so if you get on a good novice program and follow it to the best of your ability.
