Huh?

Good thing I'm not that other user...kinda rude to post that IMO
-
I drink whole milk and add heavy cream. Eh.
-
I have exactly 35 minutes to spend at the gym. I lift. Upper/lower split Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri and do HIIT on Wed.
-
All of this. I eat 2400 cals/day and I think I look pretty damn good. 800 cals/day is definitely NOT healthy. ETA: I'm 5'6", 127 lbs at 16.5% body fat.
-
I know, right? WTF? Ribeye. All day, every day.
-
First time on the boards I think I've ever said this--the trainer is 100% right. Lift NOW!
-
There is a correlation with strength/muscle gain but not always. There's no good way to determine your muscle/fat gain unless you have a way of measure BF%
-
This. I eat 240g/day.

Eat less total calories than your body burns. Simply put, enter everything into MFP and eat what it recommends.

She told her to check out the gaining weight forum, therefore, helpful. OP: I agree that you should venture into the gaining weight section on here, lots of knowledgeable people in there. How tall are you/how much do you weight/what's your body fat %? What's your TDEE? What's your current daily intake and macro breakdown?…

Bump

Love this. Only thing I cut out is gluten (have celiac), but if you look at my diary, most people would say I'm a "clean eater," I'm sure...but it's all just semantics. Honestly, what's the difference between eating "clean" with occasional "treats" or "cheats" and eating IIFYM? For me there is no difference.

How short are you talking...?

Checking in!

Wow, great video Matt--thanks for posting. I've always squatted in flat shoes, but I have excellent ankle mobility, so I guess it works.
-
Wow...I love my gym and never had an issue. Yesterday I got asked if I compete.
-
Back to actually answering the OP's question... I'd do a combo, something like this (which is specifically my current lifting schedule) Monday 5/3/1 (or 5x5 or whatever you prefer) Deadlifts Superset 3x10-15 Hip thrusts and Bulgarian split squats Superset 3x8-12 front squats and calf raises Tuesday: 5/3/1 (or 5x5 or…

They're literally the closest thing to barefoot you can get.
-
Sorry, Matt...I'm just that awesome.
-
I have a pair of Chucks and a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. I like both of them, but I look cooler with my Chucks on.
-
Is that photograph you? If yes, then dayum, girl! I'm 5'6" and was 114 lbs at 14% body fat before my first bulk/cut cycle. I've since done two bulks and am currently maintaining around 128 at 17% body fat. If I was you, I would eat around 300 cals/day above maintenance and lift heavy. What's your current workout schedule…
-
Every time I'm in the shower they peel up a little and I rub away anything loose. I have 8 callouses and have never ripped one open--they're all pretty flat.
-
Why are you acting like a jerk?
-
I'm confused reading this train wreck...but I can't seem to look away...
-
Huh? Weight loss/gain is about caloric deficit/surplus, not about the lifting program.
-
I do an upper/lower split using Wendler's 5/3/1 as my base. Specifically for lower body, here are my two days: 5/3/1 DL Hip thrusts Front squats Calf raises 5/3/1 Squats DL Step ups Curtsey lunges
-
Bro...do you even forum? The guy who says squat multiple times a week is a beast. Might want to read up on how to lift and start hitting the gym.
-
Exactly. I can DL 185, but I can OHP less than 100 (currently at 75x6--going for 80 tomorrow) so I would 75# for complexes...something I can easily DL, clean, front squat, and get tired OHPing.
-
The whole point of complexes is that it's a good weight for your worst lift. It's CARDIO, people!
