Calf Stabilizers. Rigger

QFTX2 I like low bar back, but I also do front squats once a week. I also agree that front squatting more than you can clean is a no go, at least for me, I FS about 75% of my clean weight. Rigger

Agreed, I'm skeptical, but I'm going to go with it, could just have some moron of a friend like I do who thinks it's not such a bad idea. Again OP, this can kill you. Rigger

I'm serious about this dude, that kind of deficit and rapid loss WILL damage your heart and shorten your life, don't do it. Rigger

Somewhere between 700-1000 calories depending on exercise, and likely in the hospital in very short order. Hopefully this satisfies your curiosity, and don't try it, you'll have a heart attack or stroke out, literally. Rigger

Not without knowing your height weight and activity level. Rigger

It seems that I went from a 34 to a 33 with about 17 pounds. But everyone is going to be different. Rigger

It can be shoes, it can be the way you tie your shoes (yes, there are different ways to tie shoes) and it could be tight tendons in the feet, which is my problem, Stretching and massaging is what I have to do, it's primarily my left foot. Rigger

QFT. If your knees dip inward it doesn't matter what your toes are doing, you're still going to hash your knees and ankles. FWIW, I like my toes pointed out slightly, but you have to open the hips if you want to avoid injury. Rigger

What is this "diet" you speak of? Yes, lunch meat is fine, high in sodium, but low calories and decent protein. IIFYM Rigger

^^^This^^^ If you don't weigh your food how are you supposed to know how much you are eating? Rigger

I have ADHD. I also have an 8 year old son who is a picky eater and likes to snack. First off I'd ditch the meds entirely speaking from experience. Second, find the fruits and veggies that he does like and keep them around. If he doesn't finish his dinner, wrap it up and save it for later when he want's a snack. Sometimes…

TDEE-20%, 40/30/30 macros, IIFYM, lifting heavy, some cardio, but mostly lifting. ETA: The obvious stuff, such as accurately logging and weighing your food is key, Rigger

This is the fourth post about this today, nothing has changed, still a scam. Stick to modest calorie deficit and add some exercise, that's all you need. Rigger

Deadlifts, Squats (front and back) Cleans, pull-ups, and dips. Rigger

I have no idea what "junk" is, but I have an entire cabinet filled with Skittles, chocolate, candy bars chips and all kinds of other so called "junk food" so I fail to see how this is an issue? Furthermore, I fail to see how this apparent inconvenience to you is someone else's problem. Take responsibility for yourselves,…

Macro's don't mean anything if you're over your calories. Were you weighing your food and tracking calories? If not you were probably over eating. Rigger

If it's recommended by Dr. Oz, it's a scam, enough said. Anything marketed for weight-loss is temporary, remember, business relies on repeat business. Rigger

Wow, you're just loads of fun eh? Why even ask the question? I mean, we're all a bunch of un-healthy eaters who have magically had success in a way that would clearly not work for you because you're the special one, right? I suppose we should all just fawn over your brilliance here rather than try to talk you out of doing…

No. Rigger

SW 264.4 CW 198.0 GW 185.0 Weight in dates: 2/1- 198.0 2/8- 197.0 2/15- 194.8 2/22- 194.0 2/28- 190.8 Total for February 7.2 Rigger

As stated above, negatives are good. If you have some resistance bands you can use them as an offset for your pull-ups, or if your feet touch the ground you can use your legs for minimal assistance. Six months ago I couldn't do a single pull-up, now I can do 5 sets of four from a dead hang. Rigger

At 5'6" and 150 you're not exactly overweight. If I were you, I wouldn't restrict your diet, and I wouldn't worry so much about losing weight. What I would do is get on a heavy progressive lifting program three times a week. You'll lose inches instead of pounds and avoid being "skinny-fat." Rigger

1420 is too low. I'm 5'11" started at 264 and I'm currently at 194 (last Friday, 192 this morning but official weigh in isn't until tomorrow) and I'm cutting on 2400 a day. You need to figure out your TDEE and cut at -20% Lift heavy and do some cardio. Don't starve yourself, you'll just fail, 1420 is nowhere near enough…

I do, last weekend after playing one game of basketball and refereeing 7 more, on top of an already busy day I got home just before midnight and had only eaten about 500 calories for the day. I was hungry, but not overly since I was dog tired, I still got through 2000 calories before I headed off to bed, had to go to the…

Sounds to me like you need a cheeseburger. I'd have a cheeseburger, then seriously reevaluate your approach here. First off, it's not a race, so up your calories a bit, second of all, and more importantly, don't cut out swaths of food you previously enjoyed, it's just not sustainable. Eat all the foods, just cut down the…

Your body doesn't turn on a dime like that, five weeks is nothing. Eat food, lift heavy, get rest, rinse and repeat for six months. You'll be fine. Rigger

Still don't see the problem here. Rigger

Life happens, is losing the weight not enough of a win for you? Will $200 make it all worth it? Really? I mean, if you can't have the 200 bucks you might as well just be fat, right? Rigger

They're also increasing serving sizes on the labels too. Rigger
