Another One of Those Posts

Goals: Drop bf% and generally to look good naked. 1) What's your current intake of calories, on average? Since May of last year 1600-1900 calories a day. Mostly closer to…

Starting Next Week
Im wrapping up a second round of stage 7 of New Rules and my weights on all the SL excercises are higher then the recommended start.

Injury, thoughts?

Woke up this morning with alot of pain and swelling. I can't squat down or kneel without alot of pain. I have no health insurance so I won't be going to a doctor.…

Rate of Body Fat Loss
I was wondering if there is a general guidline for how long it takes to loose body fat or if it all depends on the person? Just for reference I lift heavy 3 days a week, play soccer 2 nights a week, and do Army PT one day a week. I have lost (according to one of those handheld body fat calculators) .5% in 23 days. Is this…

Running Time Question
Ok, so here is the story, my sister has really started to become athletic in the past year. She ran a 5k this summer and had a time around 45 min.

NSV!
So I started EM2WL way back in april. Then May 22 I started NROL4W. I realized today that my step ups have gone from 45lbs to 90lbs! Whoa! Also while I was lifting today two women came up to me and said how impressed they were with such a "petite" woman lifting so much weight. Let me back track a little, in 2.5 years Ive…

Macros
As far as macros go how important is it to meet them and what are the effects if you go over them on a regular basis? I almost always go over sodium, but to counter that I drink a ton of water. My main concern is I almost never meet my fat intake, I feel like this might be a bad thing. Thoughts? Diary is open.

LIfting Heavy - Not Sore?
So I wasn't doing an actual program but lifting probably 2x a week prior to NROL4W. I always pushed myself and didn't use "barbie" weights as some put it haha. I have officially started NROL4W and am in Stage 1 workouts 4. I have yet to feel really sore the next day. Is this good or bad? I get about 1g of protein per lb of…

Sore
Do you still do a scheduled lift if you are sore from a previous or other workout? I usually do NROLFW T, F,Su. This wednesday I was asked to teach a HIIT class so I did that (lots of arms!) then played soccer, yesterday I had Future Soldier Physical training, and today my arms and calves are super sore. Im not talking…

Heart Rate Monitor Issues
So, I had an Sportline SX Heart Rate watch with chest strap, for Xmas I received a Sportline Duo 1010w, which is women's specific. The second model gives me almost double the calories burned even with both set with the same settings. Thoughts? Which one should I use? I dont want to eat too little, and I don't want to eat…

Clip or No Clips On Barbells?
Tell me why or why not? I recently got *****ed at, at a gym I have never been to, I was out of town, for not having clips on my barbell. I was squating 30lbs + bar, so really I needed clips? I didn't think so. I have heard arguments for both. I need thoughts.

Army Folks
Reaching out to myfitnesspal folks. Been trying to enlist in the Army for the past 6 months. First with the ARNG and now the Reserve. Ended up at MEPS and they decided to DQ requesting a waiver. Waiver was disapproved. At this point I think it is a game of "who you know." Wanted to reach out and see if anyone who has some…
