Pants
I'm in the market for some new gym pants. Preferably long pants since it's cold where I live. Anyone that lifts have any recommendations for pants that don't inhibit range of motion on squats?

It's Time: Follow My Bulk
We'll, I've been working hard for 6 months, lost 42 pounds and gave myself a little bit of abs for my 29th birthday (tomorrow)! 42 pounds down, and now I'm pretty scrawny. I want to be ripped for my 30th birthday in one year, and that's going to require a lot more work. I think it's time to bulk. I'll keep this tread…

Muscle to fat ratio
I've seen mixed opinions on this and don't see much research. for a male in their late 20's, relatively new to lifting, and around 10% BF, how much muscle to fat can they expect to gain with a 0.5-1 pound per week goal? Proper heavy lifting of course. Anyone have research or their own results they can share?

Protein Question
If someone goes on a vegan diet for years, or perhaps you're anorexic and have completely neglected protein intake for a long period of time, say 5-10 years, resulting in a very low lean body mass; can increasing your protein intake by itself increase your lean body mass? Or in other words, is it much easier to gain muscle…

Diet insomnia
is this a real thing? I've read a couple articles on it and some people say they have trouble sleeping on a diet. I for one haven't slept very well since cutting my calories a month ago. Did I cut them back too much? Male 28 years old 185 pounds 6' 0" 1810 calories / day (sometimes a little over and sometimes a little…
