Two piece of bread, toasted. In between them go 1.25 oz sliced ham, a sliced hard boiled egg, and 1.25 ounces of American cheese. Cuppa coffee with half-and-half and sugar Microwave for 45 seconds.

My experience with personal trainers have all been negative.

Belts, combined with a proper valsalva, allow you to get higher intra-abdominal pressure, which keeps everything aligned the way it's supposed to. They don't prevent hernias. They prevent back issues by (potentially) allowing you to lift more weight, making your back musculature stronger.

If by "Body positive movement" it's meant that people of all shapes and sizes shouldn't be *kitten* on for their body shapes and sizes, I'm all on board. If by "Body positive movement" it's meant that people shouldn't feel badly about their body shapes and sizes, I'm all on board. If by "Body positive movement" it's meant…

Something is better than nothing. As one meme goes, "No matter how slow you're walking you're still lapping everyone sitting on the couch." My advice for the unfit is start by walking until you can go two miles without stopping or feeling like you need a nap, then get into the weight room on any linear progression program…

As a male at age sixteen your endocrine system might as well be entirely performance enhancing drugs. Get under a barbell and follow Starting Strength, Stronglifts, or another linear progression program. These strength gains will help you through the rest of your life.

Don't base your training on what genetic outliers do unless you're also a genetic outlier in the same fashion.

Neither one. USDA lookup has the calories for eggs and their cooking methods based on size. The size of an egg is a defined quantity.

Look at Stronglifts, Starting Strength, the New Rules of Lifting for Women, and/or PHUL - all are full body weight training programs.

There’s grunting under strain of a lift, then there’s being an obnoxious idiot. I’ve no problem with the former - it’s going to be hard to pull a twice-body weight deadlift for reps without noise. Dropping the same deadlift from waist height on purpose is a dick move and a failed lift.

My advanced suggestion is to stop worrying about getting a six pack.

Ideal weight for sports like football don't much matter - it's a matter of strength and explosiveness, and you can train strength to a large degree whereas explosiveness is (moreso) hard coded. I'd suggest getting in the weight room and hit the big four - squat, bench, press, and deadlift - along with a fast pulling motion…

A lot of what you said there is wrong. Bad form can certainly cause pain. In the squat a narrowed stance or insufficient turning out of the feet can result in hip impingement. Not going to below parallel can result in knee pain. Improper bar placement can cause neck pain. Wrong hand placement can screw up both wrists and…

Soreness is a measure of nothing. If you're routinely experiencing DOMS months into a weight training program something wrong is going on. Nearly every trainee has DOMS when they start getting under a barbell. It's a rare trainee who keeps getting them eight weeks later unless they're doing something wrong and/or training…

Most common reaction is "Okay, WHY and HOW do you know that??!??!!"

* Squat: 295 lbs / 134 kg x 4 * Deadlift: 330 lbs / 149.5 kg x 3 * Bench: 195 lbs / 88.5 kg x 3 * Seated Press: 107.5 lbs / 48.5 kg x 5 Or at least that's where they were in 2017.

I totally ignore the MFP predictions. The scale determines the results.

The sheer depth and breadth of trivia I have locked in my head.

Can't lose your faith in humanity if you don't have any!

It may have nothing to do with additional fat. Once you're in the "normal" range it's more helpful to look at body fat levels than absolute weight as a better guide.

While there's some variance in metabolic rate among individuals, there's a reason why some people gain fat and others don't - and it's about the calories.

Bare minimum once a week under the same conditions of clothing and... hydration.

I go with MyProtein's whey concentrates. Aside from Rocky Road all of them taste pretty decent on their own. Mixing with milk or almond milk is better than water, and their chocolate version is heavenly when blended with milk and a banana.

Starting strength has its own app, as does stronglifts. Jefit isn’t bad but doesn’t allow for data export. My workouts get tracked by pen and paper and inputted later.

I don’t buy the line of mom & pops places can’t list the calories. They know what’s going into what the make, otherwise they have no way operating at a profit of when to reorder product. A cheeseburger, chicken parm, and fritttas have an ingredient list, same as the food I make at home.

Unless you’re doing circuit training weight lifting burns very little. A ninety minute session is mostly spent recovering between sets. Actual work under load is short.

Working out is beneficial- whether morning or evening is better is a rounding error.
