I thought we were only supposed to get that feeling when we urinated. Or maybe I need to see a doctor :(

Good point! I'm also gonna be whatever the hell body fat I want to be because I feel like you. You're a friggin genius, Jo!

I didn't think about it that way--I never cut after my last bulk, just ate at maintenance for 8 months, so of course, I just assumed everyone else did the same thing LOL

I'm still curious as to what exactly a "posture muscle around the ankle" is.

I know, right?! Because if I'm 5'6" 100 lbs or 5'6" 300 lbs or 4'2" 100 lbs it's all the same.

I think benjammin's response will be a little more accurate as it's using real life numbers vs. estimates.

Yup, this is what I was going to say (except it would have taken me more time than I'd like to admit to do the math).

Glad it's Friday Cardio: Hoping to get a walk in at lunch Strength: Cycle 2, Week 3 of Wendler's 5/3/1 squats. Hit my targets, but wasn't feeling it so didn't do any accessories. Assessment: Was short on fruits and veggies yesterday. Energy level is low.

No worries man, I'm already at 3 cups ;)

I'm pretty sure he was being facetious.

Yeah, but profile says wants to lose 16 lbs :'(

I was going to say the same thing. Fat slows absorption, but I don't think it's gonna be a deal breaker. Honestly, some days I have a carb/protein shake within an hour of lifting, some days I fast and just take BCAAs until 6 hours later when I finally eat, and some days I just have coffee and heavy cream (all fat) directly…

Avocado bacon cheeseburger = my favorite thing in the universe. Add sweet potato fries and I'm all yours.

Ah, thank you! Mea culpa, we're all good then :)

Wow, OP, you and your brother sound like awful people. I hope you're trolling.

Your body fat percentage is 24.5%. Nope, not for me. I find it odd when they don't ask for height relative to weight...

YMCA formula gave me around 17%, which is probably fairly accurate right now.

That MUST be what it means. But the calculator is $#!+ anyway,

OMG...I'm an "active older woman." That makes me sad. ETA: I just did it and got 22.5%...considering I started off this bulk 6 lbs ago with 16%, I'm pretty sure that's not accurate LOL

LMAO nope, don't worry about it, Kyle <3

I'm already doing 2 of each per week (one 5/3/1 and one DB 3x6-12). He's suggesting every other week switching out one of the accessory ones for curls/extensions.

I do bodpod scans, but honestly, any kind of online calculator, scale, calipers, etc. as long as you maintain a consistent method. I wouldn't trust the actual percentages, per se, but you can look at trends. For instance, you can input your prebulk numbers and current numbers into an online calculator and get in idea of…

I like that. I have upper on Thursday and lower on Friday...I could do assistance arm/shoulder work on Saturday morning and still be good to go on Monday for upper again.

Thanks, Jay, you're sweet <3

I thought about BBB, but I can do like 4 chins in a row and then I can't move for a week. That's why I'm doing lat pull downs and have asked for a pull up bar for xmas (fingers crossed). I'm so worried about hitting all the big muscles that I feel like I'm neglecting the smaller ones.

Oooohhh....good point. This might help too. https://youtube.com/watch?v=GzxRhtZLItY

LOL thanks, Yoovie. 5/3/1 is the BEST!

Good ideas. I have two sets of dumbbells (12# and 20#) and resistance bands and already asked for a pull up bar for Christmas.

Ugh, my mall is "too posh" for a food court, but we do have sit down restaurants. PF Chang's all the way!!!
