I Can't Get My Deadlift Right!
I've been doing 5x5 for about 6 weeks, including a major deload to work on form and switch from parallel to ATG squats. My squats and bench have gotten better, but my overhead press and deadlift are still suffering. With the OHP it's just a matter of sucking up my pride and using my fractional plates, but I just can't seem…

I desperately need help with C25k!
Sorry that this is super long! In any case, I've been doing C25k for about 6 weeks, but I'm still only on week 2 (Did Week 1 on treadmill, transitioned outside, started week 2 a few times and tried to divide up week 3 to see if that would help me advance, then finally realized I needed to go back to week 2 and keep working…

My stats: Age: 20 Height: 5'4" Weight: 158 BF%: 30 TDEE: ~2100 BMR: ~1450-1500 So I've used the IPOARM formula, as well as various other calculators to try to figure out what TDEE-20% would be for me, and while I'm not fully confused, I do need some help figuring out which settings to use.

For my strength days, I was thinking of doing SL (starting the program today), followed by two 15 minute circuits from the Nike Training Club app, the circuits for…

Quick question about C25K
I asked this question on the general fitness board, before I realized there was a dedicated C25K group! I started the C25K program maybe a month ago, and because I'm super out of shape, I'm still only on week 2. I've been fairly consistent, but there was a week in there where I didn't run at all because of my shins (I was…

Question about moving forward in C25K
Hello, I started the C25K program maybe a month ago, and because I'm super out of shape, I'm still only on week 2. I've been fairly consistent, but there was a week in there where I didn't run at all because of my shins (I was afraid it was a stress fracture but I found out yesterday that it's probably only a shin splint).…
