It would be useful to list your equipment available.

Everybody should be taking creatine monohydrate. It's cheap, safe, and beneficial to those who respond(66%). The only exception if you have existing kidney issues.

That will depend greatly on your running program. Both running & strength should mesh for the individual.

You're best bet is to run more advanced programming with more stimulus but allowing for recovery. Different rep ranges, average intensity, lift selection, etc... I can't stress how much auto regulation helps. Staying away from AMRAP unless intelligently programmed.

I see. You are doing very well losing weight 👍. For your training session is it the same lift selection, weight, reps, sets, etc...or does it vary on anything I mentioned?

There are many many possibilities and though it could contribute, I wouldn't be confident with the info given. OP is there a reason your programming has four day rest between resistance training sessions? Can you give us details on your training history, programming, diet goal?

Eat & train. You stated your consistency has been the problem getting calories in the past. Start with that & make a plan that is reasonable. This might mean you should look into more calorie dense foods. Resistance training has many benefits outside of your goal. Though training now will keep your body fat in the lower…

I rarely if ever pay attention to the scale so I can't answer that directly. I will state that I would look at the long term trend aa far as weight fluctuations. If the scale goes up from water retention, why be concerned about a temporary thing?

My daughter confronted me of her dislike of it. I told her I'd quit that day forever if she promised never to try it.

I learned the hard way too. It was like I was addicted to drugs.

The majority of narcissists are not aware of it nor would consent to the possibility they were if told. In general if you question if you are a narcissist, more than likely you are not. The "love bombing" is a tactic they use extremely early on to "hook you" for manipulation purposes.

As I inch closer & closer to sixty I'll submit my grandpa-bod pic.

If every ex was the crazy one in the relationship. Also love bombing or other narcissistic traits.

Please explain what you mean by your fitness has hit a plateau. Also are you carnivorous?

I wouldn't advice doubling your work load of stress via exercise. That is poor load management & increase injury risk. To lose weight eat in a deficit. Is there a difference between your TDEE of 180 min vs. 360 minutes of exercise? Yep. Adjust your calorie intake accordingly.

BMI is a screening tool & nothing else. It isn't a end all if your overweight by any means or determines your body fat percentage. Your somewhere around 12-13% from that photo if that really makes a difference. Perfectly fine to bulk with appropriate programming.

Mostly agree but not from my experience. Every lady Ive dated mentioned low key'd that they were annoyed that I was always right. Of course I'm wrong at times but I only speak if someone is truly listening & I know what im talking about. Otherwise I say IDK.

This seems like code but kudos for quoting. "I'm going to beat you with this bat until you leave."

If it were me I would change your deficit from losing 2lbs per week to .5-1lb if you havent already and continue monitoring your trend of waist circumference and body weight loss on average. I would also use programming that isn't based on weight increases but auto regulation with sufficient volume you can recover from. Of…

Pain is extremely complicated and most people are under the impression a MRI will reveal why they have pain which other than trauma just isnt the case as most would think. "Good form" cannot be defined universally so it doesn't exist. I literally have seen a thousand people squat what some would consider "bad form" and…

Absolutely it is possible but is subjective to what you are training. As we get more efficient or skillful we "could" result in less energy used and calories burned. Again there are variables to consider. Sweat is not a indicator of a harder workout, it just means your body is trying to cool down. I can sweat sitting doing…

That is a reasonable weight loss average or trend for your current body weight. I feel this is a unreasonable goal that isn't sustainable at your current body weight for long term aspirations. Eat & train reasonably with patience and things usually get where you want and you adherence is better for both short and long term…

So with your deadlift we have alot going on here. For one you get nice back extension early on, but lose it after a couple reps making the pulls harder. I do expect some loss but we will get better the more we practice with useful cues/adjustments. We also are performing touch & goes making the pulls easier after the first…

Can you be specific on your goals and training history?

That is dependant on the individual, goals, & response to whatever training or exercising they are performing.

Hence why I never use gym pics. The inner response "He looks like a dumbbell".

👍

Ladies, you have such great legs.

what is Ypyr waist circumfrance around your belly button parallel to the floor? You're about 15% or so if that matters. I wouldn't be concerned about upping the intensity as keeping or upping the volume to help retain mass on such a high deficit or if you bulk. Its essentially the same volume needed for both goals.

2-3 week hiatus will mean a expected short period to build back up. I would just use proper load management including auto regulation to dose your way back towards adequate volume & sufficient intensity of stimulus. You trying to to do the same reps/weights of Your last week training is not a wise choice. I would advise…
