@Packerjohn That article is very insightful - thank you for sharing it. I've been squatting for quite some time now so I think the strength is there but, like you said, I think I was moving too quickly into certain exercises like depth jumps. The "program" I'm on is has honestly evolved into something completely customized…

I feel you on this @craighasmillie. It's frustrating trying to maximize fat loss and minimize muscle loss but it's an inevitable juggling process while cutting, at least in my experience. I think refining your diet (macro split, total calories for the day, nutrition timing, etc.) based on results over time is an important…

@shaneozouf That's correct. I'm currently doing a four-day split with limited cardio and then a longer run on a fifth day. My workouts generally last 1hr15 ish and my Fitbit claims I expend roughly 3500-3900 calories total on days I lift, something I find difficult to believe. I've read Fitbits overestimate calorie…

@psuLemon @ndj1979 Appreciate the advice guys. Going to startup the ole log again.
-
@psuLemon Side note - is there some preferred method to tracking calories expended during any given day? I have a Fitbit but I find it hard to believe the accuracy. @ndj1979 Assuming you looked at my food log history (which has been largely unused for months), my diet now is dramatically different from how it used to be.…

@Tacklewasher thank you for the advice. I'll give it a shot there. Edit: figured this was the appropriate section for "Weight Loss Help".

@trojan_bb, how tall are you? Albeit an obvious answer I know I do need to eat more. It seems that I'm consistently at 222 these past few days having been eating about 3100 calories. @wkwebby, thanks for the suggestions. My problem is not giving myself enough time to eat. You ever add pasta into the mix?

Thanks to all for the input. I realized that I do actually take-in somewhere in the range of 3k calories per day but do want to up that. What is the general opinion about pre-workout mixes? I've been taking a supplement called C4 and not sure if it's even worth it.

@MityMax96, ah that makes sense, thanks for elaborating. @NRBreit, I do love me some ice cream haha. And yea I'll see what I can muster up later this evening for a pic. In all seriousness I think I need to just start tracking my calorie intake to see what I manage to put down each day and then adjust from there.. at this…

@212019156, I like your concise advice and have been pretty much adhering to that the past few months minus limiting to 3 days/wk. What’s your logic for that aside from the obvious of allowance for more rest? @erickirb, I hadn’t realized that more reps were generally better for lower body so I’ll look into that and most…

@3laine75, thank you for your response. Do you have any suggestions for meals/snacks that are calorie-heavy but aren't too unhealthy? I know I do have trouble getting my calorie count up. In regards to routine, something I've been doing recently has been to significantly up weight and lower the reps (3 sets x 8 reps…
