Calorie goal & BMR
I just want to make sure I'm still on track... :) To lose 1lb per week, does one need to have a net intake 500calories under their BMR? e.g. if BMR is 1700, and goal is 1lb loss/week, goal should be set at 1200 net.

How much can a girl bench?
Bench presses are one of the five exercises I'm doing as part of the stronglifts program I'm currently following, and while I feel strong in my squats, deadlifts, etc, bench presses and overhead presses just seem very hard to make progress on. Is it because I'm a girl and don't have as much upper body strength as guys? Or…
