Currently outside of D.C. in NOVA if anyones got any recommendations. @kona, listen to cambium YO foo You gonna be around on Sat or Fri? I'm right above the beltway in Maryland I could drive down to like Annandale or something and we could grab some Korean BBQ | ||

I'm 6 ft and 130 lb right now (182 cm, 59 kg) and I've lost about7 lb since I started lifting again. I lift 4 days a week or so and a typical workout would be something like curls, deadlifts, lat pulldowns, tricep pushdowns, and some bicycles. Its not meant to be anything super serious, just something more than sedentaryness. I was also biking 15 miles a day to go to school/back for awhile and when I was biking/lifting my appetite skyrocketed. Currently I only bike on the weekends for recreation. So what do you guys recommend for this? I am going up in weight slightly but I feel like I'm not getting enough food to gain weight but its hard to force myself to eat more than I already do (and I do eat quite a bit, mostly carbs and lean protein). Should I get some bulking mix or something? The hell dude.... Deadlifts... get rid of lats pulldowns, triceps and bicycles Hit up some along with the deadlifts -- SQUATZ, bench press, overhead press, dips, pullups, rows Compound exercises bro eat until you are sick every meal to force down the food. Milk if you ain't allergic | ||

It's been a little over a week since I've unintentionally stopped drinking pop and juices and now I'm having troubles handling my emotions. Some days I feel great, some days I just explode for no reason what so ever. Needless to say, this isn't helping with my training times increasing. Seems like this is a good time to kick my habit of drinking the stuff for good, and to clarify, this is someone who drank a can of coke maybe twice a week. Whenever you feel like crap do like 20-25 air squats instead If you're off and you feel like garbage go do your workout for the day instead. It helps | ||

My camp + condo's gym doesn't have a barbell .______. what do I do? 3. + points for me then. Been avoiding rice/bread/noodles/fried and stuff. 4. I feel that I do need to get into shape, all that sitting and lazing around hasn't helped my health. Do I still stop the cardio? In my case, which do I have to do first, or if I can do both, which do I prioritize more? All I want is to be more lean, not too buffed up. I have a slight pear-ish body All I want is to be go around half naked and not have flabs lol. And some meat on my arms/biceps.Diet = key to losing fat Come on over to the bodyweight thread if no barbells... | ||

I will probably start working towards a front lever or something since they are indeed badass Just don't know when  I want to drop some bodyweight before I start doing them, I can't even do that many pull ups right now (4-3-3)! | ||

What's the most accurate Total Daily Energy Expenditure calculator? I got my Health and Wellness textbook today (going into first semester of college in a few weeks :D:D:D:D:D) and I was thumbing through it and found their little calculation for TDEE, and it said by their calculation that my TDEE is something like 2500 (662-[9.53*age]+[15.91*kg BW]+[539xmeters tall]), which is like ridiculous since I'm a pretty small dude (5'7/170cm and 155lb/70kg) and I've seen other calculators guess me as low as 1900. | ||

A healthy young male at normal height and weight, who is reasonably active is never below 2000 kcal for maintenance. 2500kcal could very well be right, but it is a total guessing game. And of course you have to pay attention to what these sites are actually calculating (basal metabolic rate or something else, don't know all the terms by heart). Just get a kitchen scale and a normal scale and figure it out over the course of 4 weeks. It is not rocket science, it just takes some effort. And then you don't have to guess anymore. For reference (though it won't probably help you much), at 110kg bw and 181cm, with 3x lifting and 3xcardio per week my body goes through roughly 4100kcal per day. | ||

At your height, unless you are very muscular and do a lot of composite lifting / sprinting, 2500 is probably a little on the high side for you. The real way to see what your TDEE is is to track your kcals over time and changes in your bodyweight. Either way, TDEEs are just a ballpark estimate - perhaps if you write why you want to know yours better advice could be given | ||

) and possibly move up to 75 Kg if you are keen on lifting, or figure out what you want to do after you hit some results. I'm at 179 and varying b/w 75 and 80 depending on how much skin I want to expose
