"Back in my day I used to bench 405" But you only see me bench 265 in the gym.

You need hypertrophy to build muscle. You need to have enough protein to support muscle repair. You won't build a significant amount of muscle while on deficit calories.

But egg white delight breakfast sandwiches... are so good.

You can't fool me Dr. Oz.

Don't trust MFP Macros. Use a different calculator if you're tracking your carbs / fats / protein like IIFYM calculator.

I bench the pink dumb bells.

lol I was also thinking "get stronger"

I'm pretty sure the DC/VA/MD area gets snow. I don't find it healthy to try to micro-manage your daily activity. Sweating just like DOMS is not an indication of expenditure of calories. I'm not saying that shoveling ISN'T exercise, but are you going to log everything for the rest of your life? Are you going to log sex,…

You have a kidney and liver.. If you drink water that's enough.

The cheapest and the best tasting relative to you is the best kind.

Don't worry about it. Household chores like shoveling, mowing the lawn, etc. are exercise, but not enough logging to adjust calories. You can write a note to remind yourself that you did it, but I wouldn't adjust the calories. Trying to log exercises to manipulate calorie intake isn't realistic because daily activity…

Compound movements 2-3 times a week Squat / Bench / Deadlift / Overhead press (Push press)

I intermittent fast because I like it and it's convenient. It's not more optimal than any other sort of meal schedule. I don't find 5:2 a much more binge prone type of style of eating.

The only tendinitis I started to get was from typing too much thankfully.. then I stopped playing Starcraft and it went away.

It really depends. If you want pre-packaged low calorie meals usually they are more expensive, but just straight up regular fruits / veggies / meats come out to less than a fast food value meal.

The simplified version between Macros and Micros is that Macros largely effect body composition where Micros can effect well being. These things aren't mutually exclusive, but that being said.. there are plenty of crazy diets of people losing a tremendous amount of weight, while lowering their bad cholesterol, blood…

Miracle noodles aren't worth getting imo.. I'm lazy I don't make my own noodles, but you can buy protein pasta in the store.

I just ate a boneless skinless pork chop with peas, corn, and broccoli... but I also have a bag of mini kit kats and reeses cups on my desk.

I do what I wanna do.

The oldest games I used to play were on floppy disk and were like games where you built things or scared ghosts away with a camera.

I put bad foods in the time out corner if they don't behave. You gotta show them whose the boss.

Agree with holding breath // too many stimulants

I agree with everything above. Your body will eventually adapt and you'll need to keep pushing yourself harder and harder. It's kind of mental F because psychologically you'll think "When will this get easier?" well, the truth is never if you keep wanting to stimulate your muscle fibers.

Dats it mang... dats it.

Is that like brushing your teeth with the other hand? It actually stimulates different motor patterns.

Losing pairs of things = the worst.

I have yet to get to elbow sleeves, but I did notice for the first time ever elbow pain. I'll chalk it up to perhaps overly tight forearms than tendinitis... hopefully.

I think knee wraps are a bit of both. They do add a small amount of spring out of the hole, but you do get the benefit of having the extra support around your patella.

That uneven bicep pump
