Lol plateaus are simply the body adapting. The adaptation curve takes apps 3 weeks for most people. That said, you should cycle calories and program training according to this curve. The body will first adapt to energy in. Then it will adapt to reps and weights used in training. So if you continually train wight he same…

Neither. Better to fuel each day accordingly.

Do you want to lose weight? Or fat? If you want to lose weight = muscle and fat, continue what you're doing. If you want to lose fat, hire a trainer who's knowledgable in your situation and start working out. Why you haven't lost weight is simply how your body adapts to the stress its put under. If you don't use muscle,…

Wow i'm impressed! The thing about low fat is total bull**** but bravo for not coming out of the gate looking like a fool! ;D

Weight doesn't speak to body composition. It's irrelevant. How much fat are you carrying now compared to when you started?

Don't follow it. It's impossible for MFP to know what you burn because metabolic rate is different with everyone regardless of weight and height. If you are working within 60-80% of your V02 Max, you are probably burning about 100cals per 10 mins. But in order to test for that we would need you on a treadmill and hooked up…

Hmmm....my favorite is 2 scoops whey in whole milk or cream.

Ultra Peptide 2.0 is so good, you'll literally want to throw a scoop right in your mouth.

Eve, PSUlemon has helped 1000's of people realize their goals and potential. I'd take his advice. I'll paint you a picture of your 6th and 7th decade if you don't add muscle mass at some point in your life: www.thescooterstore.com

IMO at his age he should only be using creatine and whey. Nothing else.

Physiology fail. Until you understand that you cannot outperform your nutrition, you'll not succeed. IMO you should pop out 100 pushups, body squats and knee tucks, within any time prior to bed to deplete glycogen in the muscle for that tasty treat to fill later.

USDA really screwed us with skimmed milk huh? Almond milk all the way. Unsweetened.

1025 today.

Zero calorie chemical **** storms?

Invest in the book Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. He writes the book as if he was stuck in jail. It's literally all you need to get in shape.

I take complete weeks off from working out.

Go for 35/35/30 Of just eat higher carbs on lifting days and lower carbs on rest/cardio days. Are you a worrier? With protein you'll always want to add more per meal if you can. Shoot for at least 40g even if it puts you over calories for the day.

Personally id start at 2000cals a day. On lift days bump carbs up high post workout. On cardio, rest days, you'll drop carbs low and raise essential fats. Weekly, add 50cals to the post workout meal and continue doing this till you hit 2500cals on lifting days only. Measure your waist weekly. If it goes down, continue…

Low body fat is from nutrition. Impossible to give time to goal because we don't know how well you sleep. We don't know your digestive enzymes. We don't know how well your gut works. We don't know your blood work: i.e. bit D, testosterone, estrogen etc.... Best piece of advice is to clean up your nutrition. Eat high carbs…

This guy in the picture got that way by training in very specific rep ranges. Your goal is called myofibrilar hypertrophy. The program setup by njd1979 is perfect for you with this programming: Week 1 (Lighter lifting) Rest 1.5-3 mins between sets Monday - chest/arms 5x5 (bench press or DB pullovers, chin ups) tuesday -…

If you have any joint issues, purchase Convict Conditioning and run it along with your weights. Counter the moves so if you are deadlifting and benching on 1 day, with Convict Conditioning you'd perform body squats and handstands. Thing about CC is if you start at step 1 on all exercises, you'll improve your joints,…

I understand that, but if you want to lose and keep fat off you'll need a way to increase metabolic rate. In order to increase metabolic rate you'll need to make changes to your body so that it burns more calories at the end of the day. Okay so i'll say it like this: I have women who are older than you, stronger than you,…

Better strength with lowering the bar while maintaining control.

10lbs of iron takes up less room than 10lbs of feathers.

The thing about getting older is, joints don't quite feel the same. I swapped bench fro pullovers and OHPs for barbell jammer press. Both will vastly save the joints. As an adjunct I like handstands and handstand pushups to build the tendons and ligaments.

BMR 1700 is actually pretty high. Multiply that by 1.6 and you will get mathematically close to TDEE (no taking into account sleep, hormonal profile, vitamin D, blood magnesium levels etc etc....) IMO you'd probably be well off to start at 2000 a day. Ad 20-50 cals per day till you maintain weight then slowly gain. Dial…

Your next cut phase, simply raise protein, lower carbs and bump up essential fats. The magic is in the protein. ;D You'll lose fat at Maintenance calories.
