For those bulking on PPL
How often, if at all, do you target your abs? Do you feel that with all the compound lifts that you even NEED to? Thanks!

Low LBM, yet still might have higher BF %
I have lost over 85 lbs in 2 years, the first year and few months was done with cardio and diet. I started lifting about 8 months ago and have loved the results I've gotten with it. However, I have now reached what is apparently a LBM that is too low for my body. I am 21 years old, 5'7" and weigh 141-142 lbs This puts my…

How to calculate chicken calories
Hello, so my dad bought some raw skinless chicken and cooked it outside on the grill with only seasoning. To calculate the calories, would you just use the basic grilled chicken entry and weigh it in grams? Thanks!

Home gym suggestions
So I am graduating University within a year and have been using my school's gym for the last 2 years. It has everything a lifter would need, though sometimes the wait can be long for certain pieces of equipment. When I graduate I do not really want to have to pay money for a commercial gym membership, since the ones that I…

75 lbs down so far
Yay for farmers tan! :) This is about 75 lbs down after about 18 months. I started at 228 and am now hovering at around 153-154 and I am aiming to lose another 15-20 lbs depending on how I feel. (I am 21 and 5'7) I didn't do much weight lifting at first but have really fallen in love with it over the last 6 months or so.…

65 lbs gone, just a bit more to go!
I started out at 228 and am now at about 162-163. My journey isn't over yet, and I am 2 lbs away from not being considered overweight (medically speaking). I've been overweight my entire life and was never happy with myself physically, but now I've achieved something that I thought I never could and couldn't be any happier…

Over 60 lbs lost! (Pics)
Hi all! I've been working at losing weight for a bit over a year now and have reached 166 lbs, down from 228 (I'm 5'7). I'm not at my goal yet but I'm just really happy with the progress I've made. I did hit a plateau around January and only managed to lose 2 lbs from then until March. After some readjusting and having…

Over 50 lbs lost, 8 months in (pics)
I'm really happy to see that all of my hard work is paying off! Not only do I look better, I feel much healthier than I ever have in my life. I could not even run a mile before I started my journey, but now my workout consists of 5-6 mile jogs routinely and I couldn't be happier! The first pic was me at my heaviest,…

Different types of exercises
So recently I've become bored of my work out routines. One day I just felt so against the idea of running, I decided to hop behind my drum set for an hour jam session. I've been playing hard rock/fast paced heavy metal for about 6 years now and I know that it's a pretty good workout since I am usually drenched afterwards.…

Sudden rapid weight loss
So I've been exercising and eating right for about 3 months now and I've been doing great. I lost 20 pounds doing the c25k program, which I finished about 2 weeks ago. Recently my girlfriend and I decided to try out the t25 program, so we started using it on April 27. Also, I decided to up my protein from 80g (20%) to 160g…

C25K really works!
I started working out and eating right on February 19 this year, starting at 228 lbs - which is technically around 68 lbs overweight for my body. I struggled with getting into a proper work out routine since i was pretty heavy and on top of that, have flat feet. I didn't really have access to any elliptical or stationary…

Workout twice a day?
Does anyone workout more than once in a day? I do an hour of cardio/strength at night when I get home, but today I felt extra good about the weight I've been losing and decided to kick It up a notch by adding in a 20 minute jog in the morning. Is it ok to do this every day? It's not too strenuous or anything, I feel it…

Strength Training everyday?
Hello, I was wondering if strength training everyday for about 20 minutes (after moderate/intense cardio) is too much strain on the body. I did strength everyday for the last week (7 days) and have not felt overly sore or drained. I push myself to the point where I no longer can continue, and the workout is full body, a…

Calorie Budget
MFP recommends that I take in about 1940 calories daily, but I usually take in about 1300-1600. I exercise daily, usually losing about 300 calories a day or more. I used to eat only fast food, EVERY day which was horrible. Now I am eating much healthier and this week i have lost about 2-3 pounds (I have been following my…
