How high should the saddle sit? I literally set mine to the bottom setting lol.

Don't be condescending. I have a 1220lb Powerlifting total, and a 225 strict OHP. I know what's working.

I've already stated to keep form tight. You can train effectively, and still perfect your form. The form falling apart is a form of failure.

That makes 0 sense. If you're not reaching failure you're just spinning wheels. Keep your form tight, reach failure, rest, and eat right. There's no reason to avoid failure.

I progress around average it took me 3 months to jog/run a 10 minute mile. 5 months to bench 225 for the first time. About 2 years to reach 225 overhead press, 315 bench, 405 squat, and 500 deadlift. Would it be wrong to safety gear up, and just not break for the dogs?

3-6 reps of heavy weight for strength, and 8-12 of lighter weight for endurance. What's heavy and what's light is relative to your personal strength. No matter what though, you want to reach a point where you can't complete any more reps within those rep ranges.

I feel like I'm basically being told git gud lol

Don't overly focus on a set number of reps. You want to reach failure in your workout. If you're completing 3x10 with the weight you're using bump the weight up

The dogs are friendly, the just criss-cross infront of me, and force me to have to slow down, or wreck into them. It always seems to happen on the inclines. I might do some front squats, and higher rep lunges to help build some power to push through the stupid inclines. Lol they literally come running along from the start…

Looks like a waste of time for a quality left workout, but I like the fact that it can have upto 650lbs added to it. It looks like you could do some very effective chest, arm shoulder, and back work with it.

How about instead of crossfit, try Olympic lifting, and take a martial arts class.

I have a great workout for your husband. I'm gonna assume you have equipment access. Overhead press, Bench press, Squat, Deadlift, Lat pull downs (or Pull ups), and an ab workout I like cable crunches, but he can plank, mountain climb, or do sit ups whatever he likes. Find his 1 rep max for 4 main lifts adjust to 90% for…

3 ways to tighten the skin. Time (depends on genetics), adding muscle, or surgery. I use a personal trainer. I wouldn't say I need my trainer, but he helps keep me accountable, and fixes my form so I don't waste time. If you can afford it, I'd say hire someone once a week for 1 month, twice a month for about 2 months, and…

Dude great job! I started at 282, and am just now reaching 235 myself. You're obviously taller and carry it better than me though lol. Keep it up we'll both get there eventually!

You're already in a healthy weight range, but you do have room to lose weight if you really desire it. Your daily maintenance calories are over 1600, and that assuming you do nothing but sit around doing nothing but watch TV all day. You're talking about exercising, so you actually have all the way up to between 1800, and…

Don't diet down below a healthy BMI. Study on doing a recomp. You'd probably be pretty happy after about 3 months of lifting while eating at maintenance. If you're really having trouble keeping your calories up. Start cooking with oils, so you can at least get the calories up without needing to raise volume.

Maybe you should consider a different kind of goal now. Have you considered a lean strength training bulk? Maybe you'd be happier if you started seasonal bulking, and cutting.

I never deadlift... I... want... to... LIVE!

I should of specified the calf raises are recommended for days you aren't running. I suggested them in case the muscle being weak was the issue.

Calf raises, or change they way your feet are landing, or run with a slight incline to emulate live running.

I knew better, but I didn't KNOW better.

When I plateau I eat completely different for a week, and then jump back on my meal plan. It takes determination, and self control to do that, but it has always broken it pretty quickly for me. Some times you just need a re-feed.

Dude I wish you lived near me. I'd love to workout with you, and help you make fast healthy progress. Add me, my food diary is open. I'd be happy to help set you up with a meal plan. Just message me about it if you're interested.

If you're asking if I'll be slamming down a piece of pumpkin pie mashed together with pecan pie, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with whip cream, and a cherry on top... then yes... yes I am...

Can jump higher than me.

Ditch Stronglifts, and start Wendler's 531.

Going to the gym helps you find people with similar goals, and gives you access to more equipment, and weight than most people will ever have at home. You'll also gain access to trainers who can help make sure you're doing the exercises right because form>weight.
