The equipment that I have at home are: - 2 7kg dumbbells - an elliptical machine Lately I've been trying to avoid eating carbs, so all I have for meals are usually tofu, vegetables, and fish/chicken. I don't eat breakfast, but I can start if it'll help me. Thanks | ||

I personally use my school's weight room to lift in, but I play football so they might not let you if you don't play a sport. The more experienced guys here can point you to what you exactly should be doing. On another note, I was hoping to see if any of you guys have experience with what I'm feeling today. So I have a muscular problem with my back and my physician who checked it out pretty much told me that I have to rehab it, but it's good enough to rehab with lifting as long as I'm not maxing out or going for doubles or heavy stuff that I would strain my back badly doing. So I have been using it hard for the past two weeks trying to get it back to 100%. Today while I was doing front squats, I felt a pain in it. It was almost like someone was pinching me really hard there. It feels fine walking around now, around 4 hours later. Note: I ice for 2 hours or more every night (and have ridiculous freezer burns on my back to prove it) so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. It doesn't feel like anything muscular, but maybe something with a nerve? I'm not sure. Anybody have any experience with something like this? | ||

Do you guys have any simple cheap meals you can get easily from the grocery store or something while on the road? I really don't want to stop a a fast food place or spend $15 and an hour at a sit down place. | ||

Thanks Hey man I was there just a few years ago (started ~86 kg @ 1.71 meters) If you have limited equipment access, check out the bodyweight training thread or reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness there are lots of good instructions and sample routines, just do what you can, keep reading and learning and trying, I wish I'd had the dedication to start at 16!!! Good luck man  | ||

GOAL: 75KG -> the problem i have about calories is that i want to optimize my exercise results and i really dont know how much calories i should eat, my TDEE is 2300 aprox so i was aiming for a 300-200 deficit. Is this number too low? i read in the SL lifts page that he recommends like 20cal/lb (3520 cal a day) for heavy weights or 15 (2640 cal a day) for medium but i thinks thats too much, what you guys think. here are my numbers: height: 1.75meters weight: 80kg Squats: 167.5 kg bench: 107.5 row: 87.5 DL: 95 ( i started again because of form, my max was 170 aprox) ohp: 55 hope can help me | ||

2300 for your maintenance sounds very low, where did you calculate it? You might do less cardio than be but I don't think i makes a 1000 calorie difference. | ||

The calculators are pretty general anyway, you probably already have a good feeling for when you're eating over or under maintenance already if you're keeping rough track of your intake. | ||

probably the 3.5k calories are for ppl who want to get stronger and stronger and not drop weight. i will continue with my current calorie intake, going below this is too much for my body, the days i tried 1.8k calories i felt light headed T_T | ||

I have much questions but one that is particularly haunting is that, i hate excercise in general but i love swimming, how does swimming fares compared to regular cardio or weightlifting if i want to lose weight? | ||

Just make sure your diet is in check. General rule is ~300 calories under maintenance but it obviously depends on the person and where you are at the moment. | ||

I bought a supplement that says "take 2 pills a day", but that portion (2 pills) contain 430mg EPA and 289mg DHA which seem kinda low to me. Take 6 twice a day. | ||
