Apparently it was common many decades ago before the bench caught on, but I've never seen anyone actually doing them. | ||

Unfortunately fashion at the moment still seems to dictate that shops sell pretty skinny trousers. I need some clothes, and all the autumn stuff is just coming out and it all either doesn't fit my legs properly or it just makes me look really fat. A friend from back home in Buckinghamshire (rowing country) told me about a shop that aimed at rowers and most of the stuff fits bigger legs. It's probably what I'm going to have to do. Looks like it's another year of wearing chinos then. Seems like the only other options are shorts, or trackies (no). Surely you can just get some straight or even baggy jeans? I just put on a pair of straight-leg jeans (which I used to wear baggy) and they fit me quite well now. On July 19 2012 23:39 NeedsmoreCELLTECH wrote: Daigomi, are you on 5/3/1 atm? I'm going for 165kgx5 on deadlifts next tuesday (birthday tomorrow yay). If I make 165x5 I wouldn't mind going for 180 the cycle after, which'd be in 5 weeks. @Deadeight: Shorts are awesome, nothing else shows off your quads properly. Nah, I'm still doing a modified SS. So far it's worked for me and I keep making gains, so I've had no reason to change it yet. | ||

Correlation does not imply causation, page one of common sense. I have no problem with experience, if you've had fifty clients do the same thing with the same results I call that a significant data point. But it's not "evidence". It's more just saying that even if there is not necessarily much research proving a certain assertion in bodybuilding it does not automatically make it wrong or broscience, which is a good point. Some things have not been proven but will be proven if they are researched properly, and research is definitely not the be all and end all: because the inferences the researchers have made from the data may be incorrect, the true operating factors may have been overlooked because they were too complex or hard to work out or simply had not been considered (making it impossible to make a proper control group). | ||

Right now I am 213.5, I'm 5'10" - I'm a mix between fat and muscle, I put both on easily and I would say I'm strong but I definitely have a lot of fat as well. I chart everything I eat on livestrong(.)com/myplate and I've averaged 1578 for the last week, and I'm probably about 1600 every day for most of July, sometimes a bit higher, sometimes a bit lower. As for exercise, right now I am only doing exercises at home, I alternate between bodyweight exercises like crunches, pullups, bicycles, pushups; and dumbbell weight exercises like weighted lunges, curls, rows, kickbacks, flies, reverse flies, and various shoulder exercises. I'm looking at finding a gym and starting an actual strength program, but for now this is what I do and I figure it's better than nothing. I've been doing some research online and I've read that you need to keep your calorie intake around a certain point because too low and your body will think you're starving and burn muscle, and if you keep it too high you won't be burning fat very efficiently. Some other relevant information might be that I'm not starving myself, I don't feel hungry during the day, I also eat very healthily now. So - am I consuming too few calories? Should I actually eat more calories in order to lose fat quicker? I start at 222.5 but I've plateaued at 213-214 for the past week, it doesn't seem to want to move from there. Thanks! | ||

As you lose weight you need to recalculate how many calories you burn in a day (total daily energy expenditure) and then adjust from there, standard deficit of 500 will have you drop ~1 pound of fat per week. | ||

I did the calculator from here: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html and it said 2554. Another I did said 2552 - so I should be eating around 2000 calories instead of 1600? Obviously there's a point where less isn't better, so is 500 the best number, or can I do more if I am comfortable with it?

That link gives 2337 - so that would be about 1800 if I did ~500 less. What I want to know is if 500 is like the maximum I should have as a deficit, or just a general guideline. | ||

As you drop to a bigger and bigger deficit, you will lose weight faster, but a larger proportion of that weight will be muscle loss. Just keep that in mind, and go with what makes sense and feels right for your body once you start trying it. Also, I'd personally trust the calculator at 1percentedge over the others, as it's been the most accurate for me, and for the few of my friends who have asked about calorie counting. Definitely going to have to see a professional about my hip. Chiro? PT? Someone else? I live about a half mile from two hospitals and a medical school - so there's no shortage of any healthcare professionals in the area, and while a chiro wouldn't practice at any of those, I know of three or four around me. My hip has been getting better slowly, and hasn't bothered me in the last week (since those front squats that really felt like they were "mobilizing" it). I managed to pull a 235 deadlift on Tuesday (~130 pounds short of 5rm) so I figured I would try back squats again. Bad Idea. My belt came in in the mail, but I tried the first set without it anyway. Finished it fine. Second set I failed, after 3 reps. Deloaded a bit, and did a third set, but I was BEAT when I finished. One of my legs is working like hell, and the leg under the bad hip is not doing a whole lot. It's a weird feeling. Stood up a bit later to do the fourth set, and felt some tightness and general discomfort in the whole lower back, so I switched to front squats and put the belt on, because they helped so much last time. Felt great during the reps, but once I racked the bar and took the belt off, I had some awful shooting pains from my lower back, off to the side of the spine, deep in the muscles, shooting down to the hip, crossing forward, and then in the hip abductors, the hip flexors, the quad, and shooting right down to my knee, ending just before the kneecap, in the quadricep. Can't even pick up a dumbbell to do chest presses, can't hold my legs still to do chinups or dips, without shooting pains. I think I dun goofed, guys. No matter how much I want my squat to not be pathetic (and I REALLY wanted that 400 lb deadlift by the end of august =() working through it has only made things worse. I'll see some sort of professional this week, and hopefully I'll be back and ready to run by next weekend to play rugby against decaf. | ||

"We've worshipped the mammoth-god for the entire duration of our life and has thusly managed to wipe out all the opposing tribes and found tons of blueberries behind every bush." if think would be more to the point Assuming of course that the worship was of some substansial seemingly related context. "Correlation does not imply causation, page one of common sense." Which the author ofc does not argue at all, he stresses the fact that he thinks the transition from broscience to science is a good one. Its interesting because it is humbling to remember that there is in fact a lot when it comes to training and nutrition that we do not know and its interesting because it paints a tangible tangible grasp on the crossroads between getting science and getting results (which is not always in conflict, this is not what im saying). Placebo would be another interesting phenomenon that is not backed up by science at a first glance but definitly produces results. | ||

I've gone from an 1400 elo league of legends player with bad skin and no girlfriend, too weak to deadlift 40kg (yes I failed it first time) and weighing 71kg at 1.96, to a 1700 elo league of legends player with flawless skin, the girlfriend of my dreams, strong enough to deadlift 160kgx5 and be confident that I'll pull 165 next time at 86.3kg with a six-pack. My lay-out sucks but basically I just want to thank you all for being awesome and helping me become awesome. | ||
