"rings" style workout for lower body ?
Hi, I've been lifting weights for awhile and started incorporating some work on the gymnastics rings for variety. I really love it.

same weight, feeling "fluffy"
Hey guys, any thoughts on this? About a year ago I used a small calorie deficit with intermittent fasting (16:8) and got really cut. Also switched from a cardio focus to lifting focus during this same period. I've maintained the weight loss and am still super lean, but some days I feel/look "fluffy." Does this happen to…

Anyone know what happened?
I have a question. I'm extremely consistent with food and exercise. Years ago I struggled with eating disorders, and during my recovery I saw a registered dietitian to advise on "normal" eating since I hadn't done that for so long. She gave me a meal plan structure to follow -- for example, lunch was 1 protein, 2 grains, 1…
