that was my answer to your actual question about the height of the bar... but after thinking about it, I don't think you should even bother with just the bar. start with at least a ten pound plate on each side then you wont have to worry about height. The first deadlift I ever did in my life was 60 pounds. I laughed and…

prop up the bar so that while empty it is the same height that it would be with plates on it.

nothing wrong with widening your stance to feel proper activation. Maybe your stance is really too narrow to begin with and what you think is too wide is really correct.

Can I have the other half?

height? weight? exercise routine? like everyone said, need more info..

this 100%

I agree, I thought it was a disgusting comment for him to make about a young girl that could be his daughter's age.

the lines are like a liquid level gauge...like on a fuel tank? when it is full, it's "shhh", as in DO NOT talk to me until i have drank some of this. after a few sips it's "you can ALMOST talk to me now" when the coffee level gets down to the third line, you may now speak, and I might not bite your head off... but when the…

this too. I'm up 2 pounds if I missed my poop yesterday or if its almost that time of the month. 2 pounds is nothing at all.

A low resting heart rate for someone athletic is generally an indicator of good cardiovascular health. How low are we talking? And are there other underlying medical conditions? 110 is not underweight for someone 4'11". Even 100 is still healthy. There's gotta be something more to this.

No it does not matter what time you walk. Yes the walk will still be beneficial no matter when you do it.

Sigh... Apparently humorous generalizations need to be clarified in detail. No, squats won't cure your type 1 diabetes or clear up the endometriosis issue... but in GENERAL, squats are awesome and unless you have a medical condition that makes them extremely painful or dangerous, anyone who is in GENERAL good health and…

You are already considered underweight. Please stop trying to lose, and think about building muscle if you are still unhappy with how you look.

Yup. The answer to this is yes regardless of the context of the question.

I was speaking directly to the OP. I would never make a generalized statement referring to ALL humans. *kitten* varies based on age, weight, height, sex, and medical conditions. Yes, in the case of a morbidly obese individual, eating under BMR with medical supervision is sometimes even the best course of action for that…

apples and oranges. we're talking about a 19 year old girl who wants to lose 25 more pounds. She is probably in a healthy weight range already, but we don't know her height so who knows. Morbidly obese people can have huge deficits for a while because they DO have all that fat. This girl doesn't.

this is brilliant.

this is true. you can eat less and less and keep losing weight. You will never hit a point where you will GAIN weight from eating too little. That is a complete misconception and bastardization of adaptive thermogenesis, which people have coined "starvation mode" But you won't be very healthy. Your body does need…

because it's extremely difficult to get the nutrients your body needs long term in that few calories unless your eating is spot on. Notice I said consistently. One or two days here and there of really low cals won't cause any problems. And I never said you can't lose weight, I just said it's not SMART. Nutritionally. and…

eating consistently below BMR is not smart. I am tiny, and my BMR is right at 1200. She has some weight to lose, which MOST LIKELY means her BMR is a bit MORE than 1200. Logic concludes that for her, 1200 is low, seeing as though she has less than 30 pounds to lose, is a teenager, and should not be in a huge deficit. I am…

oh ok, cuz if it was JUST you and not him, I would say she likes him and is trying to bump you off so she can have him... and you should totally leave earlier to determine which driveway her car is parked in, so you can sneak over there at 2AM and carve obscenities into the hood.

in general "40/30/30" means 40% carbs... carbs/fat/protein is the standard order of quoting macros. if you are doing 40 protein, you should say 30/30/40 to avoid confusion.

so you mean you were that many calories "below your mfp goal"? Which is probably set at 1200? You need to MEET that goal every day. It already has a large deficit built in. You can't go increasing that deficit by 590 calories. How about you open your diary so people can get the real picture and give correct advice instead…

and stop starving yourself. This number needs to be at least 1200.

A spoonful of peanut butter or an ounce of mixed nuts are 200 calories each.

Some cravings are your body telling you that you are deficient in something. A sudden craving for red meat when you normally don't like it, can mean you are iron deficient, for example. Whatever that food is really high in, could be what your body is lacking.

we're on the exact same schedule! Except on my days off I stay in bed till 6:30 ish and it feels like I slept all day.

Never Let Your Fear Decide Your Fate!

tone of voice is everything. OP meant "Thanks! :happy: That was great advice! :flowerforyou: " and that person read: ":huh: Good Idea *roll eyeas*..Thanks...:grumble: THAT was great advice...*roll eyes*: No, she was really saying thank you, as it WAS good advice. Only someone really cynical who was having a sh!tty day…
