Point taken. "Demographically, male athletes tended to injure themselves more frequently than female athletes. Interestingly, females were more likely to seek help from a trainer, and therefore, this may account for their decreased injury rate. There was no significant difference in injury rate across age, which persisted…

The problem is that coaches don't just come from the powerlifting scene, but are usually crossfitters that want to start teaching people as well. I never assumed beginners would squat 400 pounds. I have some friends doing crossfit and tried to talk to them, they really believed that their trainer was awesome and knew…

Allright, you guys sound reasonable :) Stay safe!

I know I might sound like one of the 'haters', but I would like to warn you. First of all, crossfit by itself is already a big gamble with your body. The problem with crossfit comes from the fact that people are doing weighted exercises as fast as possible and do as many reps as possible. Often this is even accompanied…

I hadn't heard about these two supplements yet so I'll read through the articles myself now. :)

I would suggest taking the first activity level above sedentary, or select sedentary and log your activity manually (like ahkennett mentioned). When I was cutting, I settled with eating 2000 cals/day. Not because my TDEE calculator gave me that exact same number, but because I kept track of my weight loss and lowered/…

You put them in your mouth and start chewing, a lot of veggies don't even require cooking.

The only thing that matters is: * calories (calories in vs calories out = the only thing that counts for weight loss) * protein (preserving or even building muscle, however this really isn't all that important when just trying to lose fat) * micronutrients (just eat your veggies) * and an overall healthy diet (so don't cut…

nope, that shouldn't make it a split that magically absorbs all your gains. You might even be able to get more out of the training because you have rested longer.

I don't think it's that important when you do your training, except ofcourse if you really see less results yourself. I have been training fasted while on a cut and I have been training in the late evening with as only food during the day being 4 eggs, some bacon and some lettuce that I ate. I never felt like I was too…

whyyyy? You will literally make no progress at all. Splits are bad for beginners at lifting and even worse for calisthenics. Go read 'overcoming gravity' and get a full body workout 3x/week. Also this might work on upping your pull up max:

thanks, I started reading overcoming gravity but it is progressing slow as i have exams. I'm delighted with the information given to you from page 1. You are your own gym was a huge disappointment full of bias, broscience and pure commercial bull****.

Yeah, I asked around on other media and they also told me it was pretty ****ty. I think I should make it more basic, so I'm reading 'overcoming gravity' now hoping I can find some useful info. what about splitting up like: core+pull core+push core+legs cardio? and what is that horizontal pull thing? It seems like inverted…

zyzz would only inspire me to roid and be a total **** to people. Sorry, I'm not a fan :/

how much do you eat daily? Is what MFP suggests enough?

Im still trying to find my protein sources without too much carbs and fats; creeping you guys' diaries has helped a lot already. cottage cheese is indeed an awesome source of protein. I eat 6 meals/day and drink a lot of water, both make me feel less hungry. I can't really say anything more than that because I'm still…

Posting this because there were some silly people that replied to a message saying I created this thread instead of posting here: add them too!

my ex told me she had to do this on her boxing trainings. Maybe i should be trying it too sometime.

heyhey, calisthenics is coming up lately. lets not bully the poor bodyweight *kitten* like me.

Usually people aim for 10-12 reps each set (which means that after that you drop down from exhaustion, you should gradually make the exercises harder so you have a max of 10-12 reps per set). 1-5 is usually to build strength (basically, when you add weight or leverage to make your exercise harder, you will be able to do…
