They're a first day of PT exercise for people scared of using the bars and plates. Stick a pair of green plates on a big boy bar for your accessory work (off days seem to be for gambling and playing Fortnite for pro athletes, not gym work).

This reaction is very Cardio is good and being able to at least run a mile or two at a steady pace should be a baseline. If you are not literally earning money being a strongman/powerlifter, crying about possibly losing strength by using your legs for running/walking/hiking/cycling/rowing/swimming is dumb.

Probably why I usually get on the stair machine and crank out 3000 steps and then admire my shreddy calves. I've lately been finishing by setting the stair machine at max speed and "running" up 150-200 steps and wanting to die. Its nice. Chinatown fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Feb 28, 2019 |

I was finally able to admit to myself I'm long over due for a cut. What diet all the cool kids these days use? I was thinking carb cycling, low carb on off days, high carb on liftin' days (3days/week). Full on low carb would destroy me, but at the same time I feel carbs are the main issue for me, even if I'm not going crazy with them and eat clean. I tried intermittent fasting few years back and all my strength disappeared, no matter how hard I tried to eat during the feeding window.

Just eat less at fixed daily calorie goal? Aim to eat between 0,7g and 1g per lbs bodyweight, and fill the rest of the calories with a nice balance of carbs and fats? Or is this the diet that the uncool kids do?

I'm going to shill for the RP diet templates. Sure you gotta pay for it but it's customizable based on your bodyweight and how active you are (or aren't) each day. And they don't forbid any foods or macros so it's pretty easy to stick to.

Some Trad Games goons suggested I come post this here. I'm kickstarting an exercise RPG called LIFTS: Ultimate Pump Edition  In LIFTS, the strongest person of your group takes on the role of Muscle Master - the person responsible for running the game. Everyone else creates a Muscle Marine character. LIFTS includes a base game, Roboflex, which provides exercise-based rules for social, combat, pursuit, and technical challenges, as well as character advancement and adventure prompts. LIFTS also includes a number of supplements that modify the base Roboflex game, including Deadlifts & Dragons, Shadowrunning, Muscle of the Week, and a few more - each supplement introduces new rules that focus on a different type of exercise and healthy living.

It's basically carb cycling, even phase 1 cut tells you to restrict carbs heavily on off days, but still eat a lot on training days. My only problem with it is that it doesn't take body composition into consideration. For example cut 1 tells me to eat 100g carbs on meal 5 (after moderate training), I don't even eat nearly that much now (I'm 97kg/213lbs but 20% bf).

I'll I've been doing is counting calories. Guarantees I lose weight. I may invest in some $100 spreadsheets when I get closer to my goal weight, but that's still a couple months away.

sassassin posted:Pain is usually bad imo. https://startingstrength.com/article/aches-and-pains this whole pain thing is still pretty confusing to me to be honest, but at this point I totally agree that it doesn't always mean something has to be wrong. I always just monitor it, but it's gotta either be from an acute injury, or stick around for a while for it to start to worry me now.

Re: diet - get a food scale and track macros with something like myfitnesspal. Estimate your maintenance and set calories like 100-300 above if gaining weight or the same below if losing weight. Eat at least .6 g protein per lb of bodyweight if gaining and closer to .8 if losing weight (unless you got kidney problems, talk to your doctor.) Weigh yourself daily and update your calorie target a every couple of weeks based on trend line - approx 3500 is a pound of mass, but I don't like moving faster than .5/week. Where possible, substitute foods with complex carbs for foods with simple carbs (but still eat some fruit) and foods with unsaturated fats for foods with saturated fats, but if you really love something allow yourself to have it if you can fit it in to your calorie and protein constraints - I like the Marie Kondo approach to diet. Works pretty well, I've managed to keep at least the semblance of visible abs through a year long bulk (starting point was relatively lean though...).

Anyone have experience with or recommend heavy squat stand-ups/walk-outs? I'm moving towards 300 on the bar with my heavier sets and I definitely feel a bit shaky with anything above 270, so I'd really like to see if there's something I can use to help adapt my CNS before I roll a loaded bar down my spine
