Please excuse my noob posting I wouldn't worry about it, I expect Eshlow and Malinor have experiences similar to mine in regards to folks posting on the internet with outlandish bf estimates only to then defend their craziness to the death. There's a lot of misinformation out there. | ||

I just generally felt the urge to rant about this and to create some awareness about these useless body fat debates. Eat every 3 hours to stock the metabolic fire yo. Speed up that metabolism.

Sickens me to life, and I've told everyone I can, that most of her info is outdated and it's wrong, they prefer to go with her, cause she posts pictures and adds effects and drawings to it. (wtf?). I'm losing hope in the humanity. | ||

I did one on excel for a while and realised that actually my average daily eating involves a lot more calories than I would normally have anticipated. It's a pain but it does get the job done. Hitting a ratio of like 35:35:30 in terms of protein:carbs:fat distribution. If your goal is weight loss 2.7k cals + cycling every day and going to the gym like 2-3 times a week would probably hit the spot. Also the type of food you consume has effects on your system that do go beyond the calories. Eshlow puts loads of work into nutrition information to explain it. I find bread is the biggest perpetrator. Diet coke as well, it affects your insulin levels negatively. Lose although through eating rather than exercise. For me managing my weight is a quality of life thing and I absolutely despise the gym so going to the gym to lose weight would be utterly pointless and unsustainable because I'll stop going asaply. On 5 or so days a week I'll cycle for 20 minutes into work and be on my feet for maybe 5 hours (of a 9 hour shift) at work including 1-2 hours of lifting and moving shit before cycling home for another 20 minutes. I put that into multiple calorie consumption things and they all concluded 3.5k or more. | ||

I put that into multiple calorie consumption things and they all concluded 3.5k or more. 3.5k sounds about right if you do manual labour every day and cycle 40+ mins on top of that. are you tracking exactly what you are eating (with a food journal)? most of the time people underestimate just how much they actually eat. you can try to eat less then what you are now and see if that helps. if not you are still eating too much, so cut out even more food but again, the best way to lose weight is to track your food intake meticulously. also, maybe cut out processed carbs as those are high-ish in calories and pretty bad nutrition-wise (i.e. they dont make you feel "full"). and the good news for you is that losing weight is 80% nutrition and like 20% exercise. and I'd say you are already doing that 20% exercise  we eat less to lose weight and we exercise to look more athletic by putting muscle mass on our bones! | ||

I don't understand it, but I'm gaining weight. Up to 187, a solid 10 lbs heavier than I was a month ago. I'm being so careful about what I eat and how much. Starting to think it's just supplements packing on more muscle. Oh well. Very proud to hit 310. Makes that goal of 350 seem not so far off. Hitting shoulders hard tomorrow, then legs on Tuesday. Pretty eager to see where my squat max is. Feeling so strong! | ||

I am trying to build a new gym program now. I probably have to scratch DL, squat, and cleans from my current (vanilla starting strength). That leaves me with bench and press. Candidates for replacement/additional exercises I thought about: - pullups - dips - lat pulldown - straight leg DL? - ??? I already tried some of the seated leg / back machines last year, and they seems so incredibly ineffective  On many I maxed out on the weights after 2 weeks.Any suggestions what to add, and how to split it into 2 workouts (I really want to keep the SS routine). I want to avoid anything involving dumbbells and cables as much as possible because of the high bro and long waiting time factor. And all this when my low life studio is just adding powerracks, 20kg plates, and boxing nationwide | ||

A: Chin-ups, OHP, Kroc rows, rehab misc. B: Pull-ups, Bench, Ab pull down, rehab misc. Use whatever time you've freed up for rehab stuff and stick with w/e the dr recommends. | ||

What I would suggest is IF it doesn't hurt to get on the a recumbant bike or other type of cycling thing and just do extremely light resistance for 30-60 minutes. This will help significantly if the tear is in the red zone because it's vascularlized and getting blood flow for healing there (as long as it's not aggravating the injury) will help a lot. If it's in the white zone it will still help because it's circulating synovial fluid which has nutrients in it but it will be slower. | ||

Actually it isn't exactly a tear but more like a crushed / squeezed meniscus. Doc said symptoms and treatments are very similar, but it should actually heal quicker and with less complications than a tear. I have no idea what red or white zone is, but the doc said maintaining / improving blood flow and circulation would be really beneficial, so probably red? I wanted to try cycling anyway, thanks! | ||

B: Overhead Press, Pull Ups, Dips That's what I would do. throw in an ab exercise in the end when you feel like it. Hanging Leg Raises and Dragon Flags are my favorite ones, ab-wheel if you have access to it. For rehab I have no clue, but cycling also sounds intuitively right to me. | ||
