I honestly do it everyday. Nothing wrong to having both. Heck, have 2 bars while at it. Protein can be hard to intake, especially when your appetite isn’t there on a busy day.

I’m curious on why one would disagree on this

4 weeks and you’ve noticed improvement? I am impressed. I’m aiming for more mass in that area, and been hearing it takes min of at least 6 months to years! Genetics takr a role in that area too as well. Have you tried actually getting measured? You could have lost some body fat but gained some muscle. Don’t know how fast…

1. Ah, I guess it depends on the individual. What does define “stronger”? 2. Mostly where you hit a plateau on bigger lifts. 3. 2-4 for strength? Thanks!

I totally agree

They’re so pricey! As well as the time off needed. Wouldn’t that be around almost 2-3 weeks not being able to work? The investment alone on it is just so high, but if it’s reachable to others. Go for it! The scar is frightening! Lol.. imagine getting a tattoo on that area. Painful for sure.

I totally agree with the calorie intake increase. I just hate seeing my stomach bloat. All my fats in the stomach for the most part, which is totally normal yes. I’m trying to lose bf at the same time. I am for sure am doing the diet wrong at the moment since working 40 hours a week with two children. My bw: 126.6lbs…

Just last week I hit a plateau. I was doing fine going up 5-10bs per week. My body just all of a sudden couldn’t handle the weight and it became more of a struggle doing those weights and less. It was really weird, no matter with recovery days. I will admit, my food intake was less (due to no appetite, idk why..).. I then…

I have researched of it not going away. Even if you think it has, it hasn’t. Stretch marks? Good for you! Sometimes red stretch marks turn white (which makes it permanent) but they Are less unnoticeable than red ones.

I think a way to decrease the apron is to do more cardio to lose bf. I’m at a slower progression since I’m trying out power building. Body fat will still be in place unless I recomp, cut and don’t cut out my cardio. I’m learning where my body works better. With the Groupon! I am on session 3 of the non invasive laser lipo.…

Thank you everyone for replying. To those trying to reach a new PR, and to those who have tried both and was able to own the weights even more after.. which one was more affective? Did you include more stretching in that week? How was the diet during the week? Are you still eating the same amount, are you doing a surplus…

sumo and conventional, doesn’t that all depend on which muscle part is stronger? Is it true that if you over workout, strength will weaken? How long of rest should you be taken after each deadlift/ squat or either or?

First of all, Congratulations on the weight loss. Please don’t take this offensive though. Losing weight that fast, will result on a saggier stomach. I hope you take it slower with the extreme diet you are doing.

I’ve just recently started to powerlift. Ok, more of body lift. I’m trying to build my lower body and gain strength at the same time. I have weird appetites. I try and eat as healthy as I can, but still be able to eat the sugary treats (yes, I know that builds fat). I’m only human 😂 I got a Groupon for the non invasive…

Your post wasn’t very specific. How many lbs have you lost? Have you been measuring your waist, chest, legs, etc to know if there is a difference yet? Have you been consuming more than normal sodium the day prior? It can inflate the image due to water retention. I lost 50lbs before and people were scared to ask why. They…

Jesus Christ! That is insane for her height!

That’s an interesting site to do. Thanks for the link. I saw some other website have that as well, but the one you’ve linked was more of a detailed one I think

Do Tiktok! 😊

What goals are you looking for? Just to lose weight? Are you wanting to workout just cardio, or add in strength training? Are you wanting to tone, or just drop down weight in general? If you just want to lose weight, it’s very much easier even without working out. You don’t need to limit yourself to anything. Best way is…

Thank you for the informative reply! It helps me understand it more. I think I’ll do a bit more research for it. The resting period seems a bit long, maybe that should be something I need to work on.

32g for fat, 89g for protein? I’m 128lbs, 166cm, Bf is at 21.4%. Muscle mass approx 36% and age 32. Lol I’ve been around deficit since I started using mfp and took a year break. Just got back into trying either recomposition, cutting or try for bodybuilding physique. I’m still confused, and learning. I think I’m looking…

Correct, I do need to adjust my profile again with its goals.

At the rate, I’m up 3000 calories daily. My calorie defect is 1200, I need to adjust it since that was from my old goal. Trying to find small snacks with protein in them. Been having more steaks and eggs (like 7 egg omelette lol) I even sometimes lose control of the calories now with some days.

I’m good with bw, maybe an extra 6-10lbs but not more. I’m focused on bf % right now to decrease the fat on the stomach area and back. I’m not lifting light, I’m trying to increase muscle mass as well.

I appreciate the feedback. I’ve been doing it finely then, just need to focus and maintain the journey of it. Patience is the key I guess. Was just curious on how long it would take and how look it took for others to see results. Again, probably going to depend on genetics as well.

Very informative and detailed advice. Appreciating every bit! I am not going to be competing, it will be more for myself and I want to push how far I could go with psychical appearance. Wouldn’t bulking after cutting, stay at the same weight/ back to square one? Supplements like whey protein, pre and post will help with…

Don’t want to sound like a negative Nancy, are looking good for the photos you’re only goal? Even if you’ve lost that weight, you’d probably gain a bit more. You’d need a better motivation to maintain that weight off. Other than that, you need to experiment imo what will work best for you. Everybody’s genes are built…

What’s your height? You’re more toned than I am and I’m 129 at 5’5. Losing weight is a very slow process especially when you’re getting lighter. It took about 2 months for me to lose weight and that was just 3lbs. That was before though, woth a workout routine 4x a week. Change up your work out routine! Eat less sodium.

I like the mylifemyshop scale.

Body weight fluncuates. I admit I am a weight scale slave myself. Yesterday I probs lost 3lbs, next day gained 1 lb and then next day I gained .8 lbs but next three days I’m down to 29. It will never be the same. Best time to weigh is naked after urinating and doing other business before drinking any fluids. Being on a…
