Hey strength trainers, do you cardio? - General Survey
I know that we see a lot of threads asking which is better, lifting weights or cardio, but this isn’t that kind of thread. I am just interested in a general survey of how much cardio the MFPers who strength train do. So whether you do bodyweight training or lift weights purely for strength or for muscle building or what…

Strong Curves - 4x/wk

When he shows the four workouts a week schedule, he lists the schedule as Day 1 - workout A Day 2 - workout B Day 3 - cardio or HIIT Day 4 - workout C Day 5 - workout A Day 6 - cardio or HIIT Day 7 - rest He doesn't go into the next week. Is the rotation supposed to continue…

Hip Thrusts
I recently switched over to Greyskull LP. I'm adding hip thrusts and lunges as a plugin (alternating between them.) With lunges I'm adding 5 lbs to my dumbbells each workout for now and figure that at some point I'll have to switch to adding 2.5 pounds instead. But for hip thrusts, I'm not really sure what kind of weight…

SLDL confusion
Hello there. I'm not sure if this group is active or not but I thought I'd start here. I am completely confused about the SLDL for the All Pro routine. I've read through what seems like hundreds of posts on the bodybuilding.com AP threads and it seems like every time the SLDL comes up, a different SLDL video is posted and…

Help with calorie calc please
Hello. I've been at this weight loss thing since January. I haven't eaten super low cal, usually around 1750-1850 per day. Lately, though, I've been hitting a wall so I'd like to eat at maintenance for awhile and then go with maybe a 15% deficit for the last 10-15 pounds. So far I've used the TDEE-20% method to figure my…

Chest supported rows - form question
I recently switched from one arm rows to chest supported rows. The trainer I've been seeing showed me them the first day and all went well but now I have this thought that my form might be wrong. I'll see him again on Monday but thought I'd ask here. Anyway, my question is should my arms be down along the sides of the…

Looking for a specific TDEE site
A week or so ago, I followed a link from MFP to a TDEE calculator that gave a breakdown of how many calories to eat on workout days and on non-workout days. I'm trying to find it again but cannot figure out which one it was. If I remember right, you enter your info (height, weight, age, activity level, etc.) on the first…

NROLFW
If you have followed NROLFW did you follow the advice to eat at maintenance for the first four weeks and, if so, what were your results? As in, did you lose fat, gain muscle, some mix? I'm starting this program and am trying to decide whether or not to follow that part. At 159, I'm 5 lbs above the top "healthy weight" for…

Dumbbell deadlifts
I just started doing these (today) and am having some trouble.From what I can tell there are two versions, a regular deadlift and a straight leg version (which can be done 2 different ways?) First I tried the regular, using this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ3QwaXNJfw .) If I hold the dumbbells where he does, I…
