What is the butter & cream for?

Every body is different - many folks will skip breakfast- go all day on little food then are starving in the evening

How many cals are you eating? what is you cal goal? Do you eat breakfast? What do you have? - eating early in the day help control cravings later

When I squat I start warm ups with an empty bar & go ATG at first, I will pause at the bottom hold it and let my joints get working. ( I'm 67 y/o ) I go to parallel when I put weight on it. If you can go deep until you put weight on it you may have to check your ego & lower the weight as the previous poster said

If your Tasmania potatoes are white potatoes & not sweet they would be close enough - The Idaho potatoes are pretty good - great for baking

The listings are created by forum members & some listing are more accurate than others - you may have to do a bit of research to see which one is correct. I am Clan Ross - love listening to the pipes

I would not use the mixed grip for training, you want to strengthen your grip. Save the mixed grip for a max effort

That might be a good idea - back off the weight maybe 20% & re- start When repping with deadlifts it's a good idea to reset your grip & set up for each rep, treat it as a series of singles, you can get out of wack easily. don't go high reps Are you doing them with correct form?

Turkey leg - cooked Chaya leaves- rice & milk

An important note -When you are making your oatmeal and adding some cinnamon while it is cooking - be sure it really is cinnamon and not cayenne pepper - What a surprise that was

I would not make a quick jump from 1000cals /day to 3000 cals - take that a little slower - increase to 2000 over a few days then gradually eat more. you probably will want over 3000 cals if you are lifting regularly Start lifting today - a program like Starting Strength or Strong Lifts- pick one and stick with it- either…

If they were playing ZZ Top then the volume would be fine

When they talk about some famous person, singer, or actor, who got married , divorced, OD'd , or died, and I never heard of him or her, or the TV show or movie they did , or heard any of their music or know the name of their band. That's OK because I wouldn't like the music anyway

It did take some effort to turn the knob - How would you log that under exercise ?

There are a lot of good suggestions - he is mine - you said you have a long barbell -If you can do a few body weight squats - squat the barbell - also pick it up from the floor and put it over your head. Google Squats and clean and press - Alan Thrall on you tube is a good source for instruction. When it gets easy with the…

you need to eat more then 800 cals - that is not healthy - you need to double that or maybe more, you need the nutrition & cals the recover. you will lose the weight, and stay healther - the cutting down on sugar & pasta is fine. eat a balanced diet with veggies, protein & fruit. Keep up with the walking that is great
