Google fit integration and activity level
I've synced google fit with mfp for steps. Activity level is set to 'active'. So far, mfp has given me 83 kcal for 800 steps. Does this take activity level into account? Will the adjustment be same regardless of activity level setting, or will mfp adjust? I changed activity level setting to check but the adjustment…

Double overhand grip gave away during deadlifting
I'm doing stronglifts 5x5 and today was 1x5 deadlift day 200lbs. So during the 5th rep the grip gave out and the bar fell, probably due to sweat but I don't remember. I don't want to use mixed grip or straps just yet, I want to strengthen my grip. I'll see if my gym allows chalk or liquid chalk. I'll also definitely make…

How's your form when doing a PR on linear progression?
When you were a beginner and adding weights every session to your compound lifts, how was your form? I know mine isn't great, i can feel it especially with back squats. If I can finish my 5x5 though, I add weight next session and the lower weight warmup sets feel very good. Should I continue like this?

Double counting baseline calories while logging exercise
Suppose one has BMR of 2400. Ie the person burns 100kcal an hour by just existing. If that person walks for an hour as cardio and logs it as cardio in exercise diary or gets the kcal burnt from a watch or an app - let's say 400 kcal. Does this 400 include the 100 which is going to be burnt anyway? Ie does one earn 400 more…
