Strength coach: Elliott Hulse made a youtube video giving a simple test kinda like using heart rate variability using biofeedback to let your body tell you if something is wrong using grip strength. Grab some heavy weights, look at a clock and time how long you can hold the weight before your grip gives out. Retest every…

Most experiments are idiotic. The point of an experiment is to quell one's curiosity by trying an intriguing idea and see what happens. That's how we learn! Most people (especially here in the U.S.) have no clue how efficient the human body is. One of the benefits of even trying to attempt a fasting style diet is the…

I said cheat meal, not cheat day. The idea of the cheat meal would be to keep the metabolism running smoothly while on a very low calorie diet. It's an idea, or broscience. The no calorie study I mentioned was to give the OP an idea of how hard you would have to diet for starvation to even start happening. No calories is…

Well there was a study done that took a group of people and had them consume no calories for days. The results were 72-96 hours on average it took for the metabolism to slow down. So when on an extreme deficit combined with a high expenditure lifestyle (totally not recommended) it'd probably be advantageous to keep your…

There's a documentary called 'Inequality for all' made by Bill Clinton's economic advisor you could watch on Netflix that basically talks about the importance of raising the minimum wage and is probably where this idea for the strike started since it mentions raising the min. wage to $15 in the film.

Make sure when doing leg exercises you push from the heels. If you can't lift your toes off the floor while you squat then you're not fully turning them on. The bulgarian split squat which you do by placing one of your feet on a bench can really help you target your butt better since you can easily sit back keep your shins…

425 for deadlift is pretty damn good for a beginner! I'm at 415 and I've been deadlifting for a few years!

You look perfectly fine as you are! You are not skinny fat at all! Just wanted you to know that first off... When it comes to weightlifting first find a workout program you want to follow and then youtube each exercise on how to properly do them and also read how to do them and then practice in a mirror to match the form…

Why ask? Just take, experiment, and judge for yourself. Cheapest fat burner there is though is black coffee. Experiment with different ways of dieting and exercising too. When you plateau, try something new!

Yeap!

When I was a teenager at 5'8" 135 lbs at the age of 18 decided I wanted to weigh 170 lbs. I bulked for as long as it took to see that number on the scale. Big mistake. I accomplished this goal in a year or two, can't remember. I regret having done this. Most of my weight gain was fat. It didn't look good. Fat, like muscle,…

Maybe you're not digesting food well. Take some probiotics if that's the case. I eat kimchi for my digestive needs. Easiest way to take in calories is in liquid form. Whole milk, heavy cream, protein powder, whole eggs, peanut butter, bananas blended up makes for a very high calorie shake that's pretty easy to take in.

Your body primarily runs off of carbs or fats for energy. Being that you cut down on carbs you have to consume more fat. In my opinion being cold means low metabolism. Your body isn't getting the energy it wants so it's shutting you down. Notice how a lot of people are mentioning bulletproof coffee which is basically…

I used to intermittent feast for a couple of years, but recently started something new. It's good to experiment! Try eating only dinner two days out of the week until you lose the 5 lbs or go 1000 calories a few days at a time as a shock to your system. I say a few days cause it takes 3-4 days on an extreme deficit for…

When I got certified, I was taught to start everyone on machines no matter what! I personally ignored this school of thought (shhh!), but at the same time understand after training so many people why it's important. It's for your safety. When I first started I had a client who said she was doing crossfit for a year, so…

In addition to using various inclinations you could also try doing negatives. Basically get into top push-up position: Hands directly under shoulders, core, and glutes tight then slowly lower yourself to the floor then go into child's pose (google it) then repeat for reps. Good luck!

Well sodium isn't an issue for me since I train hard and sweat a lot. I actually add sodium to my diet since it's one of the main form of electrolytes our muscles need to function

The most simple way I've found to put on weight for me is 4 cups of rice before bed every night. I gained 15 lbs in a few weeks. Easiest and fastest method I've found. Since it's hard to cram all that rice in at once I would make it wet by adding beans or ketchup or BBQ sauce all over it to help get it down faster. So pick…

Start by learning how to squat.

Try eating a banana. Protein shakes are good for muscle building, but you need energy to workout which will come from some carbs or fat. If you're going low carb, add some coconut oil to your shake. Protein can be converted for energy usage, but your body will prefer carbs first, fat second, and protein last.

Well probiotics have been getting a lot of hype nowadays since they say that 70% of your immune system is in your gut. Most people think of yogurt when it comes to probiotics, but we usually eat yogurt with a lot of sugar which isn't so good. Kimchi is another probiotic food that has vegetables as the main ingredient, so…

Try not to be so hard on yourself emotionally and physically! It sounds like you are working out pretty hard. Try and remember that exercise is a stressor, a good stressor mostly, but also can be a bad one. Try to run only 20 min a day and focus on increasing distance ran over time in the same amount of time. Look into…

Instead of every night, I'd go with once or twice a week

Eat more watermelon! It contains citrulline which is good for blood flow. Increased blood flow= bigger D
