If I were 6'2 my TDEE would be in that range as well... I have been fat most of my life, because I can easily eat 6k in a day

Pulse is the proper name for the family of plants that gives us lentils. Lentils can also be called pulses.

Meatloaf is a ****ing ****storm of flatulence. The volume isn't as much as beans or raw cabbage and onions. The smell isn't as bad as three scoops of when and four eggs. BUT. Meatloaf brings the volume of bread products, with the stank of brotein. It's a perfect storm of stink.

i like thigh gaps. not exclusively, but I do kinda want to sneak in there sometimes

plot it on a graph. do you have a "real trend"? (mfp does it for you)

When comparing "how much you burn" from a given exercise, don't just look at the exercise session. What matters is a TOTAL cost in energy for the work itself PLUS recovery, PLUS the cost of any adaptation your body makes. Nothing is free.

I wasn't saying you come up on your toes, but what you're talking about sounded like an overcorrection. out of curiosity, why don't you low bar squat?

Phone died before I could edit. What trying to say here is that depending on weighted or not, and whether it is a high bar, low bar, front, or body weight squat will change how far forward or back you need to be to keep your center of mass over the middle of your foot at all times. If you for some weird theory reason…

What you are saying makes no sense, sorry. In a body weight squat your weight SHOULD be farther forward than in a low bar back squat. The weight goes over the middle of the foot. Not the heel, not the toe. The middle. That is true for any squat.

Are hammers more important than wrenches? Depends on your task now, doesn't it? Also, of course sugar has nutritional value. Lots of ATP to be had in a spoon of sugar.

Picking up any part of your foot would reduce contact with the floor and rob your knee of some protection imparted by tension on your calf muscle. You should be balanced on your mid foot, not forward or back. That's a function of the bar path being straight up and down, assuming it starts out correctly.

Well it might be obvious to you, but I'm not as smart, so I made this mistake and didn't squat again for 6 months.

i'm usually wiped on deadlift day once a week

no. hold your breath until just before the top or until you finish the rep. exhaling while you pop back up is a great way to get injured. I've done it, so I should know.

boom. see that there? YOU are allowed to move forward and back. THE BAR moves straight up and down. get your butt out of the way and further behind you. Think of the whole move as folding and unfolding your body by moving your butt forward and backwards, and organizing everything else around that. it's all about the hip…

beat you to it. ;)

just read starting strength. it has directions. your problem is your center of gravity is coming forward of the middle of your feet. you probably need to stand wider and with your feet turned out a bit more. don't push with your legs, drive from your hips and push your knees away from each other. body weight squats don't…

Find a weightlifting club maybe?

Overhead press and calorie deficit

If your wrists are sore after squatting you are way off. The bar should be wedged between you back and your palm. Your hand goes behind the bar, never under it. Your wrist is the least if your worries in a bad squat like that, because you are transferring the load away from your posterior chain and onto your rib cage.

It's fine. First off, dates stamped on yogurt packages are nonstandard and meaningless. Second, the pH of your yogurt is somewhere around 3.5-3.7, and it's populated with lactic acid bacteria that quickly eat up any spare sugars (leaving you with more lactic acid). In that range, it's extremely difficult for pathogenic…

First of all, op, your hotness is great, your pooch is small (and really freaking adorable). Second, most people who feel like "the rest of me is ok but my belly needs work" would change their tune if their eyes were in the back of their heads, such that they had to stare at that "rest of me" every time they stood in front…

More into staring, but thatz just me.

Just get to work collecting information instead of running with this conjecture. Pick a number below your TDEE. Eat that. Losing too fast? Eat more. Losing too slow? Eat less.

If one considers the toddlers center of gravity, yes he is doing a perfect unloaded squat. And yes, a toddler has EXACTLY the same mechanics as an adult, albeit with different anthropometry. Squat form is DEPENDENT on the center of gravity for any given lifter/weight combo. I would define proper form along the lines of:…

I have crunches in my warmup, and I really like some of the "core moves" on the TRX, like pikes, atomic push-ups, etc... I think of the pikes especially as a great way to get some resistance onto a simple and basic body movement. Yeah, it's maybe the least important part of my workouts since I get all the ab work I need on…

Cut in half lengthwise and boil to make a soup. At the end of the day take it out of the soup and roast it.

I love being divorced! And in our case, since she screwed me over in the marriage, she gets to pay alimony. And I get to spend her money!

Exactly. Diet is primary.
