What lifts are you recording?
Usually one from the side and one from the front will cover most of what people are looking for. Also, no point in recording light reps where your form doesn't break down imo.

Squats, Deadlifts, Rows. Will probably just record press and bench while I'm at it.
Well (as weird as it sounds) my heavy Deadlift form feels better than my light which is why I want both. Plus, I can more easily see what is going wrong when the weight goes up. These videos are for me as well.

Light deadlifts can feel really wrong because your center of gravity is shifted as you load the bar with more weight. Idk i cant do deadlifts properly with the bar only.

I couldn't use show all option, and I'am sorry if this was answered but here are my questions.
1. What time of the day should I exercise? Usually my routine takes about an hour.
2. When should I eat in relation to when I exercise? Before, after, how long, and how "much".
3. Is there any difference between training 6 days a week or 5 days a week (I'am doing mostly dumbell exercises + abs and core)? I'am currently going for 6 a week, but with uni starting next week I probably won't be able to train this much.

1. Afternoon/evening about 2-3 hours before sleep is fine. Morning is OK too if that's the only time you have
2. Same things you would regularly eat (aka non processed foods and lots of protein)
3. Yes, it depends. If you're a newbie I would suggest training 3 times a week with a full body routine.

Maand,
As for how much you should eat, that depends on your goals.
Lose fat while maintaining muscle: ~500kcal caloric deficit (eat 500kcals less than you burn off each day)
Gain muscle mass: eat tons. also will probably gain a bit of fat along the way (but you can use the above option after you've gained the muscle mass you want)
Time for eating depends on you. Some people lift better with a full stomach, some empty, some in between. Find out for yourself how you work best.
My schedule usually goes like this:
breakfast in the morning
light snack (almonds or seeds or dried fruit)
lunch
big snack
wait about 1.5 or 2 hours
work out
dinner immediately after workout (with a bit more carbs than lunch/breakfast). i looooove white rice.

Can eating to much fruit halt your fat loss progress completely , even if you are eating below the required amount?
If i have dark yellow or orange urine , does that mean i am retaining water in my body , resulting in higher weight?
|
nvm, didn't read properly
|
Since eggs are supposed to be brilliant food and I hate the taste and particularly the consistency of egg-white, is there a way to incorporate eggs into your meals without really having to taste them?
|
omelette? you can hardly taste the eggs
or just drench them in hot sauce
when you say the taste and consistency of egg-white, what kind of preparation are you referring to? Eggs taste completely different depending on how cook them.

If i have dark yellow or orange urine , does that mean i am retaining water in my body , resulting in higher weight? If you only want to lose 'fat', you need to combine exercises with diet. You just need to eat below maintenance, so it really depends on what 'too much fruit' means. You should just drink more water. I think something like 4 L a day is recommended.
That is not what i asked, if you can't give me a direct answer to my question , don't bother responding.
Also you said you HAVE to include exercise and diet in order to lose fat but than you proceed to say that eating below maintenance is enough to do so. You need to get your facts together before you start giving out advice.

sorry, I just came back from a two day trip without much rest, and you are right, I didn't read what you asked, and didn't answer it properly.

let me try this again, now that i've read your question properly
You have to combine exercises and diet in order to lose only fat, otherwise, you would lose weight, but not necessarily fat.
Eating below maintenance will help you reduce weight and will typically result in fat loss if you combine it with the correct exercises. But this depends on the type of exercises that you perform as well as the food that you eat. If you want the exact science behind it, wait for eshlow to respond with some papers.
To answer your first question:
Can eating to much fruit halt your fat loss progress completely , even if you are eating below the required amount?
What do you mean by 'required amount' and 'too much fruit'? If you are eating below maintenance, and eating only fruits, you will lose weight. Whether you will lose fat depends on your current BF%, and the exercises that you perform.
In short, no. It will not 'halt your fat loss' assuming you are eating below maintenance.
If i have dark yellow or orange urine , does that mean i am retaining water in my body , resulting in higher weight?
What do you mean by 'retaining water in my body'? Of course you are retaining water in your body... Coloured urine typically means you aren't drinking enough water or you are taking in too much vitamins, or weird diseases, you figure it out.
If it's the first case, it means your body is trying to hold on to the little water that you provided, meaning you are dehydrated. You shouldn't be worried about your weight in this case, unless you are in a competition, and feed yourself some water.

Unlikely, unless you have metabolic dysfunctions and/or are very obese already.

It means you need to drink more water because your kidneys are working overtime.
I'm actually unsure if high glomular filtration rate in healthy kidneys chronically long term is bad for the body but I wouldn't take any chances... especially if you are supplementing with things like createine or more protein.

First of all , thank you Cambium, for your efforts.
Well to explain my first question.Fruit contains a good amount of sugar and as you may know eating to much sugar can cause some troubles. There is a certain number of grams of sugar you can eat a day and i am wondering if you can reach that by eating lots of fruit.
As for the "required amount" i suppose i should of just said daily caloric need of food.
Now to the second question.When you are dehydrated your body tends to hold on to all the liquid it can for obvious survival reasons and dark yellow/orange urine is a sign for it. I am just looking for a confirmation as i have been eating below my maintenance but have been sloppy on my liquid intake and the scale showed me a higher amount than the last week,

I kinda disagree, I think he will retain more muscle and lose more fat if he cuts fruits and adds meat (asuming same calories)

Scrambled eggs for the taste, boiled eggs for the consitency.
Omelettes aren't for me, since I don't like any mushrooms.

Then don't put any mushrooms in? Just make your omelette with something you like.

How do you add some taste to scrambled eggs?
