Intervals on a treadmill of - 1 min 4MPH walk,…

So say i make a recipe that has multiple servings....well, thats no good, I want to eat the item during the week and weigh my item and…

To rack or not to rack....
So I have some weights and a bench just collecting dust. I want to get started "again" into lifting. What I know is very important is squats. The problem is , not squat rack or cage.

alternative to barbell row
I am doing Stronglifts 5x5. I find the barbell row awkward...just hard to get my back flat..seems the proper form is to almost form a 90 degree angle bending at the waist. its hard on my back and neck. is there a good alternative to this exercise?

Friends
I asked this in another thread but no answer, perhaps it wasn't seen, perhaps there is not way to do what I was asking..so anyway, thought i'd try it again.

Increasing my Goal Calories ! yikes!
So for a few weeks I've been eating to little. Results have been good but i fear i'm on a path to a screwed up metabolism. All my research tells me I should be at 1500 to 1700ish to lose a pound or so a week. I'm setting my new Goal to 1600 calories/day. Hope that works.
