Setting lifting goals
How do I know what to set for goals for lifting stats? I know what my calculated 1 rep max is, but I don't know what to aim for? Any tips for deciding? Thanks! :o )

Pull ups/Chin ups
Is there a difference? My main question is this - How do I work my way to doing these? There is no assisted pull-up machine at my gym so I need a different way to work my way up to doing an un-assisted one and then adding more reps...First goal: doing ONE un-assisted... What are the steps to reaching this? Thanks! :o )

Quick nutrition question...
What is more important as far as hitting your number goals go... calories or macros? Do you want to be slightly under calories and hit macros or over macros (yet still hit percentages) and hit calories?

Numbers & obsession
Hey! Is anyone else obsessed with numbers like me? I can't figure out if it's a good or bad obsession. It keeps me on track usually. I try to perfect them to fit my 40/30/30. I've done really well for the past week or two! But it's also driving me crazy at the same time! Maybe I'm just crazy?
