  • I would guess if you're strength training, and otherwise eating an appropriate amount of calories 100 vs. 150g protein fits somewhere in the "good to ideal" spectrum for you, and you won't notice much of a difference at all. I would think it's not something to worry about at all, unless that 50g of protein helped you eat a…
  • (huge fan of Dr. Mike...but) like a lot of people (rightly) saying you don't NEED that much protein, they post their diet and they're actually eating A LOT more than what they say YOU need. Funny how that works. I personally eat about 30-50g per day OVER my lean body weight in lbs, but find it's nice what a high protein…

  • Son had an appointment with an agility/explosiveness coach, and I did about 3/4 of the one hour session with him. Then I intended to do my full leg day workout, but one set in, I knew that was out. 1x5, 2x8 backsquats. I did go up 20 lbs in my heaviest working set tho vs last week. But I was toast so I’ll do extensions and…
  • Only working out MTuW this week, so push/pull combo session today.

  • I tried for about 6 months to raise my cholesterol in my 30's (had a total of 109 at the time), and couldn't do it, even adding over 20g of saturated fat daily from 70+% dark chocolate and coconut. My N=1 doesn't match the literature... Some of us just have low cholesterol. The highest mine has been in 15 years was 163,…
  • I eat whole food when possible, and use artificial sweeteners on products that make otherwise healthy foods palatable (like some greek yogurts, protein powders, on some whole grain cereals).

  • Basic strength training is achieved with a push movement, pull movement, and a leg press/deadlift type movement. If you’re doing those with good enough form for progressive overload, you’re doing at least 90%+ of the best you can do. Strength training doesn’t have to get much more complicated than that for general fitness.…
