Apparently I remember someone on tl who tried the pills and still had problems. I tried lactaid milk and personally had no problems with it at all when before even 2 cups of whole milk would give me problems a few hours later. Just the problem that its so much more expensive. Like 3-4$ for half a gallon. | ||

I had the weirdest feeling during training today. It was this calm feeling and I didn't lift with any intensity that I usually had. I think I adjusted to my heavy volume recently since my pull felt very good. My technique was off which caused me to miss 80 three times. I then went for 84 which I nailed and then hit 90 on my second try. Then proceeded to swing 92 over my head three times. Clean and jerk was fucking terrible. I managed to miss 100 jerk twice so I dropped to 95 and hit it cleanly. Afterwards, I stopped jerks since I had a little pain in my elbow and just did cleans. YAY 90/95 split!! My cleans went 104 110miss 110 115miss. I will try to get video of my clean next time. Currently working on getting under the bar quicker after reading more about technique. Dont worry about shrug/triple extension and just drop. | ||

as it turns out, i had the highest deficit (biological age was lower by 9 yrs compared to calendar age) in the company. i was pretty shocked myself since i hadn't worked out in like almost a month and my diet had become pretty crappy since. i'm sure the software/machine that came up with the figures have inaccuracies and what not, but either way i'm going to credit my uber young biological age to the fact that i had been lifting weights for over a year. hell yeah lifting weights is the shit! | ||

I've made pretty good progress so far (about 210 lbs now, down from 240) and my goal is to still lose about another 30 lbs (I'm not dead set on achieving a certain weight but I think 180 is a healthy weight at 5'10???) and am not sure what exercises to do. At the moment I don't have a real strict routine, I work out every other day and just do whatever lifts I can manage to do at home (just have a real shitty bench press bench) and a low level of HIIT on the bike (30 seconds full, 90 rest, 6 times). Im halfway through reading starting strength and I guess I just want reassurance that doing the program is an efficient one for my goals. From what everyone has said before it sounds like it would but it doesnt seem intuitive to me (it seems like less barbell training with some cardio thrown in would be better, but I confess i dont know much at all about fitness and this is probably due to the fact that ive been around so many cardio bunnies). So if someone could maybe explain how strength training is good in losing weight but while still building muscle/ strength while dropping the fat I would appreciate it. Well I was probably a bit wordy with that first question so I will try and keep this one short. I like to cook a lot but am trying to stay away from the use of flour (this is correct according to paleo yes?), but Im wanting to know what some of you guys who like to cook use as a thickener (you know, you mix equal parts of flour and butter together and you can make an y damn sort of sauce you want from that). Is cornstarch ok? how about some gums? Any ideas would be good. | ||

For the last week and a half I have had very little sleep, it's not that I couldn't sleep I just didn't have the time this has been compounded by a ton of alcohol consumed. The missus came over on Sunday and we spent like 7 hours laying on the couch just watching tv, I then went to sleep and slept for 16 hours!!I Woke up naturally and refreshed in a way I haven't felt in months, yet after an hour at the gym I was fatigued again. I essentially had 23 hours of sedation and all I want to do right now is go to sleep. | ||

So I did yesterday! I already thought "after that time, do a nice short workout" but you really see when you are not doing anything... have to step up a little bit! Damn this good food in France  | ||

So if someone could maybe explain how strength training is good in losing weight but while still building muscle/ strength while dropping the fat I would appreciate it. cardio is very much overrated (and basically a waste of time if you are on a good lifting program like starting strength). it should be obvious that strength training will help you build muscle and lose fat more so than any cardio program does, shouldnt it? I mean, if you do tons of cardio, you might lose the fat, but you will be a skinny kid with no strength whatsoever. you can add some cardio (like 10-15 minutes at the end) to your lifting program, just be aware that you might not progress as fast because you are "taking away" strength from your lifts, if you know what I mean.

Of course, by following SS, you can put 50-60 pounds on your squat in two weeks ... it's really not that hard to do. Intermediate levels of strength can be attained in something like 3-6 months by following the program to the letter. | ||
