I am set at 1g of protein per LBM as well, actually a little more, but my fats are YUM. So I have those set high. Very high. I'd rather have more fats than have extra carbs. Not because I'm low carb, just because I'm high fat. lol My carbs are about 280g a day. Fats are around 90ish. Protein is 100g+. Usually between…

For anyone wanting to learn the pistol squat, here's a good video. :) Pistol Squats: http://youtu.be/DjxQrgLsty4 My old trainer taught me to do them first by standing on a 45 plate, to elevate me a bit to give a bit of wiggle room in the other leg. Then hold onto the squat bar and use it to slowly lower yourself onto the…

Yep! And unassisted. :) Definitely one of the things I'm pretty proud of.

No, I still count that. I fail a squat if I can't get back up after going down, or if I don't get below parallel. Fail on rows is not getting bar to chest, same for bench, also for bench not locking out at top. Failure for OHP is not locking out at top, DL too, lock out when up. Failure for DL and rows also for me would be…

Were you recently on antibiotics by chance?

Yes, eat more. Add butter, oil, avocado or cheese to your food. Insta 500-600 calories.

LOL, mine ripped on the left hand and now my girlfriend calls it Zombie Hand.

I am aiming for 135 which will put me at 22% body fat if I put on just one more pound of muscle. Then the cutting of 12 pounds of fat. Ugh. lol

Lifting since end of April, small frame according to wrist/height measurements. I'm a 32DDD as of now. I am aiming more for bf% than actual weight, because I know I am going to be high on the bmi chart regardless, because of all the muscle I have on my frame.

Log it like normal and if you are still hungry after hitting your total for the day, add in a couple hundred extra calories. If you are actually sick though, not just irritated from what you ate, then eat as many calories as your body feels it needs. My opinion.

It just depends on how you feel on certain macros. I make sure to keep my protein over 100g daily, and my fats over 60g, the rest goes to carbs. I don't feel the need to get more than .8-1g of protein per pound of lean body mass. If I go over, cool. But if I at least hit 100g I'm happy. Fats I neeeever go under 60g because…

I ripped off one of my calluses doing deadlifts yesterday and now my girlfriend and I have taken to affectionately calling my left hand Zombie Hand. LOL. Today did the crossfit class that my trainer leads and it was full of ****ty things. lol hand release pushups situps box jump burpees pullups push presses row machine…

I'm 5'2" and right now weigh 148 to give you some perspective. :)

Trainer session today, first was DL. DL: 1x10@95, 1x6@105, 1x3@135, 1x3@155, 1x3@175, and 3x3@185 WOOOOOO! Felt badass. Then did a 10 min circuit of 5x95lb DL, 10 burpees, 15 wall balls. Got 3 rounds in and I was BEAT. I only have about 2.5 hours total in the pool today, thank God. I had one lesson cancel so it's down from…

@wolfsbayne Congratulations to you and best wishes!

This might sound like a "DUH" suggestion, but is your rope the right length for you? When the rope is too long for me I am terrible at it, but when I hit that sweet spot with length, I can jump for a min or longer straight through. And thank you. :)

After my last slightly disappointing workout, today made me pretty happy. :) Hit 130 on my squats, 90 on my bench, and deloaded to 85 on my row with my form greatly improved. I watched the video posted here in the rows thread and I think it really helped a lot. Got all reps on all sets. I think I might even hit 100 on that…

I sweat while I'm sleeping. :p lol I sweat quite a bit during cardio. It's gross but whatever.

This. Five Guys is gross.

When she was little we taught my daughter that there were some foods that were snack foods, and she had to eat a fruit or veggie before snacking. We also told her at dinner she had to have some protein, a grain (or whatever kind of starch we had) and a veggie. If she didn't like the dinner we had, she made herself a turkey…

I'm currently teaching swim lessons M-F but I'll answer as if that's my job and not part of my activity level. 1) age: 31 2) approximate weight: 148 3) physical location: Southern CA 4) activity level: moderate 5) How often do you exercise? 4-5x a week 6) Do you eat breakfast? Generally. 6) what is your largest meal of the…

Uuugggghhh, today was wrought with failure! But it's okay. my weights are getting higher and I'm not stressing too much over the fails. Squats: 5, 5, 5, 4, 4 @130lbs got down and just couldn't get back up, leaned back and dumped the bar onto the safety rails and went down to my knees. Glad I watched some failure videos.…

I'll suggest the same I do in every poop thread, coffee! I second the coffee suggestion made already. :)

Coffee? A tablespoon of some kind of oil? Are you eating enough fats?

You could cut out one portion of cheese, but you'd have to still make up 10ish g of protein then. You could eat 100 cals more pork and come in with more protein for the day and still be eating less fat. Also, what is cereal cream? ETA: Maybe eat half the portion of chocolate? My fats are always ridic. Lol. But I still eat…

Eating at maintenance/slight deficit (although if you look at my daily intake you'd call me a liar) because I'm lifting 3x a week, training for 30 mins with my trainer 1x a week, and crossfit 1x a week. This is also including teaching swim lessons 4-6 hours a day M-F over the summer. I can't wait to see what my number are…

Actually an opinion is a statement, but you're right in that it won't have a truth value.

Aw dang, you got there before I did! But great minds and all.

Yes, I definitely need to defiantly grow up. Growing up peacefully is so boring. That's exactly why I shaved my head. I'll shave it again in 9 years when I turn 40.

It's only okay to eat pizza at Planet Fitness. Otherwise, you'll get fat. Even from one slice! All those carbs.
