Most likely you have tight hip flexors. Work on your mobility and then focus on pushing your knees away when you come up from the hole in the squat.

Hmm, doesn't look like you answered her question nor did you post with anything on topic.

It's food group restrictions are high enough to where most people would have issues with adherence. If you can sustain and you like it, go for it by all means.

I started at 307lbs and now I weight 180lbs.

What are the claimed benefits to this? Any diet that restricts certain food groups is not a well balanced diet IMO.

Have you thought about doing a sustainable diet strategy that you can stick to long than a few months? Just my opinion, but good ol calorie restriction is very sustainable and works every time 100% of the time.

Every liquid count towards your water intake that includes water! :)

Looks solid. I'm assuming 3-4 days per week?

I would continue to weight train to hold on to your all of your muscle.

Just add each of those items into your diary and estimate the portion and go from there.

6/20/12 Morning Weight: 188.6lbs Very tired during todays workout - although I hit a PR on Military standing press, I didn't get it for 6 reps like I had hoped. THE WORKOUT WU= warm up, WS= working set, PR = personal record, WEIGHTXREPS Standing Barbell Military Press WU 45x8 WU 65x3 WS 125x4 PR WS 125x4 PR Dumbbell…

Just add more weight to your resistance exercise.

Why?

Instead of trying to create your own routine - do a routine that is proven to work like starting strength, PHAT, Max OT, 5.3.1 or stronglifts 5x5.

Yeah, I'm jelly of your intake...anyway I use to be a HUGE fatty :tongue: and I lost my weight too quick and damaged my metabolic rate. SO, my current plan is getting as lean as I'll ever need to be, then reverse dieting and bringing my met rate back up to a healthy operating status. Start strength training ASAP, starting…

6/18/12 Morning Weight: 189.2lbs Good day over all! Took a very cool bike ride through my little town. THE WORKOUT WU= warm up, WS= working set, PR = personal record, WEIGHTXREPS Rack pulls from the lowest rack pin WU 135x8 WU 225x3 WU 295x3 WS 350x5 PR WS 350x5 PR Low Row WS 205x6 WS 205x56 Lat Pull down WS 190x6 WS 190x6…

Very good to hear insanity is doing well for you. How long have you been doing it?

6/18/12 Morning Weight: 188.8lbs (after yesterdays carb up) Today was the 1st time I've weighted in the 180s after a carb up today. I also hit PR on bench press. Today was exciting as I am working with 2 different clients who are on the verge of being under 200lbs and I know it'll be major milestones for them both. THE…

I would just clarify that belly dancing would be more of a cardio type workout rather than muscle building. Are you currently losing weight with that calorie intake?

Well, the 1st advice that I'd give is try different strength training workouts/exercises until you find something you like. Because if you don't enjoy it - you won't do it. You may have to think outside of the box to find out what kind of strength training you will enjoy doing. 2nd - Motivating advice for strength training…

What kind of pain? Like "normal" muscle soreness? Or something more serious?

What's your current plan of attack?

Thanks bro! Glad you stopped by!

6/17/12 Morning Weight: 186.4lbs Today was my carb up day, which is always good! However, from my friends 21st bday party last night, I've been hung over and feeling pretty bad all day. THE WORKOUT NONE! My 2nd off day in a row and back to it tomorrow. I was going to do a 400 calorie burn cardio sesh today, but was feeling…

hahahaha, It was my 20th birthday and it was a "white trash bash" party - so everyone dressed all trashy. Fun times! :tongue:

Good stuff, right? :bigsmile:

Using it as a tool to measure your success would be fine, you should never let a gadget or website calculate your diet numbers for you. Every person is different and has different requirements. At 27% body fat, are you male or female? What's your body weight? Also, whats your current intake on non-workout days and workout…

Bump for the late traffic.

Strawberries. They have tons of volume for as low calorie as they are.

Do whichever you prefer the taste of and whichever fits into your daily macro-nutrient needs. If you have a goal of 200carbs a day and 50fat a day, eat whatever fits into those numbers that you like the taste of.
