Found out this week the cause of my headaches, some degenerative disc disease, so to make a long story short, I have to reduce my intensity (well increase, actually). I have had to take out squats for the time being. I had been doing an RPT style routine 3 x a week. Workout A - Squat, OHP, Chins. Workout B - Deads, Bench,…

Setting Activity Multiplier…
Ok so I have usually have my multiplier set for Moderately active (3-5 days of mod activity) I did a total body w/o 3 x a week, and ran 5-6 miles 3-4 days on the non weight training days.

Are there Caloric Cycling Programs/Apps??
Does anyone if there is such a thing? So if you cycle your caloric intake, you could set up 2 different intakes (ie: Lifting Day and Rest Day), with macros, etc.??? Would be cool if MFP could do that, Well I suppose it could but it would be a pain in the *kitten*! Thanks

Stronglifts 5x5 - scared to fatten up...

YOU can do this!!!
Think this is better posted here instead of where it was.... After losing a lot of weight (fat and muscle), by doing straight mod- high cardio 6 times a week, and eating a very low caloric intake ~1200-1400 cals, didnt follow macros at the time, just stayed under them all. Didnt really give it much thought, i was solely…

Running a deficit and 5x5 training
So based on what I have read and suggestions from others, I think I will be starting a 5x5 routine next week. Now I know that strength builds muscle, but if im still running with a 20%-25% deficit (500-650 for me), is the 5x5 the best option? Will I cut if Im on a deficit, obviously it will be near impossible to build…
