Ironbot - your butt is lifting a LOT before the pull.
Ah well, yes, for Leeness it would be good to check it with a scale at least for couple days.
Also because of this discussion I ended up weighting all what I eat. I did my normal meals couple times and scaled them on each time and took the average of the weights I got. They were actually surprisingly consistent and generally quite much the same every time.
So this is all I eat on daily basis. I added also my used cheats and gym days' foods. What do you darlings think of this?
I am a female, height is 5'6 / 168 cm. In one week my workout consists 2 x gym, 2 x jogging 45 mins, 1 x pilates. I am trying to lose fat, get my back in better condition and maintain my muscle mass.
I have been eating like this nearly the last 3 months. This far I have lost 10 cm / 4 inches from the waist and around 8 kg / 17 lbs. Not a struggle at all to maintain this diet and I do think it is more delicious than the crap that I used to eat.
I take magnesium on daily basis to keep my calves at bay. Like someone mentioned it really helps.I know it's better. I didn't mean it like that, but it was like...it was super frustrating when nothing worked and it was like "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME" and apparently nothing and it was like...I'm just meant to be fat I guess. :/ I kind of wanted a "well this is why" answer. But I know it's better to just be healthy.
I'm glad your blood work is going well
Huh. I'm going to start using my little kitchen scale more then. The cups are just the default setting in MFP but I will look more into it and look at grams and such instead.
Thank you!
On another note, one of my calves like...seized up in the middle of the nightno work out today except maybe some stretching and yoga.
And honestly, you are not fat. You might want to be more toned and fit than you are at the moment, but nobody except you would call yourself fat.
Oh and Cooter, looking awesome!
yesterday I had back day and broke a DL PR, the only lift I still have to get above an "intermediate" level.
I think you have the same pants in color orange, am I right? they look so comfortable. WANT
Form check repost.
I think you are bending over at the start of the squat, go straight down, don't "good morning" the lift.
I have tons of shorts like these in different colors. Basically just a mesh athletic/basketball pair or shorts. Yeah, comfortable as it gets.

Back day!
Looking like a statue sculpted by Bertel Thorvald himself!
5x5 banded deadlifts defeated!
I had to Instagram the victory
Looking like a warrior bro. I dig it!
So I am about 1.5 weeks into my first ever cut and have lost 2 pounds so far. What would be a royalist if goal to achieve in 2 months?
To be honest I would have preferred to keep bulking until I got serious muscle mass, then cut. Unfortunately, my body is fucking retarded and stores 90% of my fat in the thighs/butt. This needless to say makes me look rediculas.
183.6 pounds

Royal blue 10mm lever. If I had got a black one the turnaround would have been a week apparently.

Slept 8 hours and took a two hour nap, feels so good to sleep...only get 5-6hrs on average during weekdays...
Carpal tunnel may be back... thumb/index/middle fingers have been numb all night and day. Although there is no strength loss or pain so this could be something else :/
Beast!

- Your bench press video link is the same as the squat video link.
- It was mentioned about your last squat video, you're still going lower than you're supposed to. Your lower back rounds at the bottom. This video might be helpful in determining what's your ideal squat depth.
I'm actually now reworking my HB squat to not squat as deep as I currently am because I'm getting tailbone discomfort and/or pain which may be from squatting deeper than I should be and/or my glutes are really tight.
So hitting the gym way more regularly than before...getting a good group of friends to go with has really helped! Keeps me on my toes too, and there's a small bit of competition as well, which just adds to the banter (but we do prioritise form over weight, so dw about that)...
Seeing lots of improvements everywhere, arms, lats, shoulders, legs...but the ridiculously large gut that 10 years of horrible childhood eating habits has developed is still holding on, unchanged! I suppose if it took 10 years to get this fat, it's not going to go away immediately
I'm not sure whether targeted exercise on the lower abdominals actually increases the rate of which you lose fat in that area...I've heard that it doesn't, and that it's a diet thing...can anyone clarify?
Also I'm doing a mix of sprinting and jogging for my cardio before I hit the weights...is that a good thing to do?
Your help is much appreciated!

I will look at magnesium. I need stuff for my knees too. I used to take MGM chondritin but it got packed away. I will get more.
Haha I'm definitely flabby as heeeeeell.
Yum! Enjoy! My dinner meat next week will be chicken again

405 4x6 BS went up quite easily. See how I feel this week and determine if I can start increasing the weight. Beltless feels sooooo much better and I can go balls deep with full depth.
Bulk don't stop

I have no idea who that is but thanks.
Coming from the Lord himself. My day is made!
You are a big 150 if that makes any sense.
Thanks man. It's getting hot which increases my willpower to stay away from my mistress in the ice cream isle. I'm wrapping up this 5 month cut. Slow and steady.

Ok ok...
<penguin cup is coming out of retirement>
Yes, that's poutine. My parents are Quebecois so I have french in my blood; the gravy runs through my veins and I have to re-energize myself once in a while.

So basically, I'm taking Whey post-workout and sometimes for breakfast. I take the Xtend BCAA intra-workout as well. What is creatine and is it something I should add to my regime now (at age 19)? I hear so many good and bad things about it that I don't know. I know it retains water in your muscles, so when I'm old enough to retire, would creatine cause my muscles to become saggy? Basically, should I take creatine or not?
Thanks brahs

Slowly getting back in the swing of things, presses are moving north back to where they used to be, don't think I'll ever be able to shoulder press heavy amounts again, but my bench is on the road to redemption. Was able to incline bench 315x3x6 today for the first time in months, unfortunately I still can't do weighted dips without my shoulder feeling like it may explode.
My pulls & legs are pretty much where they've always been though, so that's a positive.

Oh, sorry. Didn't mean it to be confusing and ambiguous. He was a world reknown sculptor from from Denmark during the late 1700-mid 1800. Famous for his craftsmanship. Usually depicting mythological figures.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertel_Thorvaldsen
Anyway, sorry for going OT.
This looks like a modified version of starting strength. You probably won't need the ab work; I'd drop it in favour of moving the bent over rows to that day.
Take the creatine. There is no downside.
This is awesome thanks for sharing! I was familiar with the Lion monument but did not know it was his work, fascinating.

Goddamn...
The way he did it without even really struggling makes it hard to believe that that was over 900 lbs. Dude is a beast.
I believe he could have squatted more than that. Maybe 2 or 3 more kilos (or 5 pounds), easily.
That looked easy, he didn't grind in the least.

Creatine helps build muscle mass and aids in recovery. It's also one of the most researched and safest supplements. Dont worry about loading doses and just take one tsp a day with your protein shake
