Thanks! But I'll be satisfied when my 1RM is 405!

Umm, you should probably get your dr to take a look...

Today's Back and Biceps, my favorite workout! Deadlifts 5*5 Bent Over Rows 3*8 Pull Ups 4*8 Seated Rows 2 Dropsets Lat Pulldown 2 Dropsets DB Hammer Curls 3*8 DB Curls 3*8 Machine Curls 2 Dropsets

I just read the whole journal and a few of the references... not much referencing diet soda?

FDA describes all three of those ingredients as processed

I know, but I believe the squat to be like a puzzle with every piece having its role to play. If your feet/legs are doing it wrong, then it needs correcting just as much as the next piece :smile: If their all good, then I would look at hips and lower back such as leaning forward too much, or arching your back to far…

Just curious, but when squatting, how are your knees? The should follow in line with your toes, if that makes any sense. I used to like wide stance but found that my knees drooped inwards causing a significant amount of pressure on them. When I switched to a shoulder width stance, it felt more natural for my knees to…

BMI is a terrible indicator of anything.

Just gave this a try and I barely made it through 7. My 1RM is about 285lb.

The journey to health and fitness will not reflect over the course of a few weeks. Keep at it, eat at your TDEE - a few %%, count your calories and see where you are after a few months. If you aren't losing enough, adjust your calories by a few (1-2 hundred) up or down depending on if your losing too much or not losing…

Unless I am mistaken, very possible, NEAT is not an actual method, just a term people applied to the methodology MFP uses. NEAT is Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis which is actually just a component of TDEE.

If your workouts are consistant, yes I would eat at 80% of your TDEE. Remember, TDEE should be updated every few weeks as you gain/lose weight. Build up a solid weight and cardio routine and weight your food. Don't guestimate your caloric intake, because you will not be accurate. Stagnant weight could mean a number of…

As graysmom2005 states, unless you're eating 10-15k more calories, you're just experiencing temporary water. You probably took in a lot of extra sodium and carbs, both of which hold on to water like none other. Just keep working out and it'll burn off pretty faster over the course of a few days.

Unless you have gluten issues, it's not worth the time and energy to cook around it.

Scale is more accurate

MFP and TDEE are two different methods. If you are consistant with your workouts, I'd follow the TDEE method which is basically eat at a slight deficit of your TDEE (~0.80 * TDEE as an example). MFP is better if you are more sporadic with your workouts. It gives you a value that is close to your BMR and you calculate the…

Was on that stuff for a while and felt bloated the whole time. Just keep your calories/activity in check and you'll be fine. Drink plenty of water and when you get off the stuff, you'll pass it all...

So, when are you trying this? Any updates?

Maurice Clarett's 1rm was around 405 and he could barely hit 225X20

If we're talking a straight fight, batman has nothing over ironman except maybe hand to hand combat which would be entirely irrelevant.

Funny, My all time high is 315 and my current 1rm is 275. I can hit 225 about 10-12 times.

I woulda given you an 8, I was voting for _John_ since your post didn't show up :D

This stuff is hands down my favorite: Vanilla is 120 cals for 25g of protein and chocolate is 130 cals at 25g of protein http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/cellucor/cor-performance-whey.html

Lol, don't forget thems dur carbs to help synthesize absorption

Nutrition makes you look good with clothes on, exercise makes you look good without clothes on...

So interesting story, this is my personal stab at pseudoscience. I did a test once, I compared eating a single meal at Mcdonalds vs eating a single meal at home. I match to the best of my ability all macro and even micro nutrients. Again, this is fast food so I had to go simply by their numbers. I repeated this test for 3…

And it's "The Atles of Men" by William Sheldon that originated the theory.

Stating Somatypes are a myth is just as false as saying they have any relation to metabolism or bodybuilding potential. The theory of Somatypes came about sometime around the 1930's and were intended to differentiate psychological and not physical attributes. It's only been in more recent years that people started…
