let me be the voice of dissent here. the other day I overate like CRAZY (we're talking about 5k+ calories for the day) ended up doing 2 workouts for that day due to the excess energy. Ended up with huge PR numbers for squat and was surprised at my endurance for my BB volume routine. If you overate for the day feel free to…

130/80. Male at 24 years old, very high i know. Working on clean eating and slowly incorporating more cardio into the mix

calipers, measurements, scales and hand held body fat tests for a general idea. If you want high accuracy you'll need Dexa-scans, BodPod, hydrostatic weighing etc...

Do you take any anti-inflammatory measures like glucosamine, aspirin and dietary changes? if you feel your symptoms consistently flaring up more than it is bearable there should be counter measures set in place. you should never have to bear with your joints grinding. A decent diet with lots of healthy oils and reduction…

Goal weights should be based on their lean body mass and body fat %. For instance in my case 192 at 17% body fat leaves me around 160ish lean body mass. assuming that I want a healthy 10%ish body fat. I would wanna keep my weight around 175-180lbs. Below 6-8% is extremely unnecessary and almost guaranteed to be detrimental…

the calorie calculator is gonna be extremely inaccurate. It can't take into account rest periods, intensity, repetition, etc. I would just count it as a general 200-300ish calories per workout (a tad more for higher intensity, a tad less for lower intensity). of course, if you workout for 10 minutes and then stop that's a…

I can't speak for your degenerative disk disease but a friend of mine has arthritis on his lower back and he has been actively working out his lower back for years. according to him the strengthening effect of weight lifting has numbed the pain from arthritis for his every day activities. However, like i said, can't speak…

ear phones and pedal/run away. no reason to listen to their *kitten* and let them get to you.

love deadlifts and squats for sure, squat because of all the amount of variation with little change in rack/equipment.

work on something that you can progress with. its always boring to do an exercise with no set goals. (something like run 100m in 10 seconds one day and make it 9 seconds the next week or so.) Important thing is finding something you like and that you can actively see progress no matter how minute.

My feet are about as flat as it goes as well as no instep so I would assume I'm in a similar situation as you. Just get regular training shoes for lifting (i.e. Adipowers, chucks, wrestling shoes, etc) and get Orthotics from podiatrists. Just do note that with flat feet we have a tendency of needing slightly wider shoes so…

most bodyweight calisthenics require a good bit of core activation at different angles which includes your lower back. If you feel that you're seriously injured I would avoid most calisthenic exercises at high intensity like insanity. If the lower back isn't that bad I would just do lighter lifts or lifts that doesn't…

how long have you had this diet or maintenance diet for? it takes a bit of time before your body's hormonal changes catches up to the new you (Cortisol, Ghrelin, Leptin might still need a certain amount of time before regulating to the new weight and body fat). Beyond bodily changes maybe finding a new goal to work on…

So many dramatic changes, bravo to everyone!

I usually just do a standard basic TDEE+calories burned set up instead of including it in my TDEE calculation. If i didn't include workout I would be at a massive deficit. that's true smuggle and i'm certainly sure that I burn much less doing my workouts over usual cardio. however It would still leave me in a 300-400…

water weight, that is all. to reiterate, people tend to fluctuate their water weight on a daily basis. I am assuming you weighed it every 2 weeks or so as opposed to daily, if thats the case chances are you retained a bit of water right before your second weigh-in and then as your last weigh-in you probably already had it…

Thanks for the suggestion! Is there by chance a way to find it specifically geared towards cherrystones? or are all clam nutrition roughly similar? I'm mainly asking because the values on MFP seems oddly off. (for ex: 4-5oz of clam meat yields less then 100 calories seems very far fetched for instance) EDIT: Upon further…

Hazaah! I was asking the same exact thing earlier. Thanks for finding out ( i kept on searching but often times it doesn't list cooked or raw like fruits or certain cooked foods) Luckily now i know i should be weighing pre-cooked, post thawed!

I would treat it as an occasional treat (a 2-liter once every 2-3 weeks+) as opposed to drinking it anywhere frequent. Water is still your best friend.

Bump, anyone?
