I battle trama induced depression and this is one of my self treatments naturally. Dark chocolate, bananas, tonic water,salmon,oatmeal,eggs. These are my foundations without the change I would suffer much more and I have until I made them priority.

Sleep must be given a higher priority for progress and it is far from a passive activity.

Just an update on my ovhp, I upped my calories since my last post,gained 5 lbs of weight since then from 155 lbs to 160 lbs body weight. My 77.5 lb press went up to 87.5 by mistake. I loaded up for 82.5 but after completing 5,5,5,4,4 I looked at the bar and seen an extra uncounted 5 lbs! Go figure....

5ft 10 ,age 48. Weight 159. Maintenance is 2750, on a bulk of 3200 to gain .5 to.7 per week ,cut or lose weight at 2500 for .5 lb a week. Mfp friend.requests accepted.

I would only suggest the following and that is full concentration on squat form and if you find it suffering with more weight later on it can be caused by, in part,lack of hip flexor mobility, so insure your form by using some type of hip mobility regiment. I found the warm ups not enough for me for only 3 days per week.

Would like to see body weight of the lifter to get an idea for all if us to see what the amount is vs body weight of the individual. For me 77.5 lbs ovhp currently. Body weight 155 lbs.

Yes I notice not wanting to eat,before this trend of mood it rarely existed . Prior history of my eating habits when there was no structure to my time and format of my meals, I just ate for the sake of mood or desire ,that meant I was hungry many times a day,almost ravenously. Now that I'm consistent,level minded towards…

Now that's what I'm talking about..fantastic! :)

I see too many workout programs but they generalize muscle groups too much for my liking. So,what I would like to see is a visual chart/ list that for example.... Doing a preacher curl recruits %70 of the bicep muscles while the triceps recruit the other %30 for the entire motion... Now do not take my example as literal…

What you described was me years back with different influences.surrounding me.. It was still a out of control urge. How did I overcome? I reserved the joy of a late evening 3 block of dark chocolate and let it.dissolve as slow as possible in my mouth . I didn't fight my urge I just adapted it and found it just perfect in…

Congratulations for being hype proof :) Normally I would refrain from labeling,but that plan is insane to be relayed from a specialist who considers it in the realm of his oath to provide care as his primary function. And lastly how can a multi vitamin balance an unbalanced dietary intake?

As a side note from this discussion I've decided to do the uphill walk with a backpack not on my back but as the suitcase method Shakey revealed on this topic ,I will attempt to test this method fully for a minimum of 8 weeks and hopefully report back with an opinion and maybe some measurements.

I am 47,weigh 155 and am 5ft10. Began to make changes in 2005 and went from 260lbs down to 170 doing super slow body weight exercises ,cutting my calories, super hydration and other small techniques. Afterwards I kept weight around 180 to 190 for about 6 or 7 years . Decided to lose more stubborn belly fat with a activity…

Its been a few years since I have ran but the day I decided to run cross country was when my pains went to the wayside,I am sure it was the surface. As you might might guess on my experience. Since I cannot duplicate conditions I have since stopped.

Don't feel silly or let the low weights bother you because you are beginning to build that wide low base that with make a skyscraper or even a third floor building made of solid material. Use every fiber of your muscles when starting by exacting form and cadence. They say it takes 10000 movements until a pattern is…

Peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches on toasted bread layered with honey then sprinkled with sugar,retopped with another layer of soft fresh white bread and a light coat of PB and marshmallow . ( My excuse.. I was a teenager with a high metabolism and hedonistic)

May a resurgence of improving health with each new day. Your entire introduction was inspiring , eye opening and brave! The victory of beating Lupus back into its cage from this day forward. :)

Since I am in the process of gaining more muscle mass in increments at such a goal pace of .5 lbs a week I ingest a slightly higher glycemic dose of carbs and proteins pre and post workout and I find those calories spent and then adjusted higher to be a necessity . In maintenance stage I also see these calories to be…

I don't knowif your using any apps but I like to use JEFit apps to record my set and reps while using the timer that keeps me from under or over doing rest times between sets to keep times under a hour. It has kept my times just under a hour which is ideal.

I hear ya,my budget for food is low,but it can benefit you. I am on a strength program and found a few go to items that I am glad I looked into the best bang for the buck. #1 Eggs,its one of the cheapest forms of proteins and what I do is make three days worth quickly.Scrambled then refrigerate,take to work either…

That sounds interesting and intense. I find walkig a good mood elevator for me and would like to incorporate bigger gain from it in other ways. Since you've seen results I'm gonna have to try it!

That is well put,using so much weight on such an angle and doing so safely would not be wise for my goals. Thanks for clarifying!

Yes I have experienced this and muscle strains also by week 11,also I have had too many deloads from plateaus and mild injuries, so I bypassed 2 scheduled days and have switched to 3x5.

Add me to your support system :) , we are all on a path to better health no matter what our personal method is.

I would be into a terrain hike,that sounds interesting especially in the upcoming fall season soon to arrive!

No doubt I wish I took the discomfort seriously better safe safe safe than sore and sorry. I'm off now counting 2 missed rounds. Can't even do my single person canoeing for upper body/midsection workout/enjoyment.:(

It was something I took for granted and it bit me good. I wasn't hydrated first effect I cramped up. Next I was on third set 3 rep when it happened.. next mistake I did one more rep..wrote in my log was stopping..stretched and decided to do fourth set... wrong.move. and yes now my form was crap..and that's all she wrote..…

I've been where you are now,I may weigh high in the 150s but I was 257 when I decided to change it for the better and even though that was 10 years ago it still is part of me being at that deciding reality of imbalance of weight and casual effort of daily life. You can and you must keep it in your mind of why you decided…

Those compound movements are squats, bench press,military or aka overhead presses,dead lifts,barbell rows,lunges,pull ups and alternately dips.(body weight exercises) All must be done in perfect form to begin. Progress by adding more weight to gain more muscle weight, but start out slow up to the 1st month with proper form…

You mentioned lifting weights to gain weight so I am going to assume you do not fear what lots of women fear and that is to look too bulky or too muscular.It is very difficult to simply fall into that category as a woman unless that is a fully dedicated objective. So look into compound exercises with weights and I am sure…
