Can almost guarantee you're underestimating body fat too If you go to the YLLS weight loss thread you can see some pictures of me wearing only boxer-briefs at 255 and 240. I've lost another 5lbs since the last one and probably put on another 1lb of muscle. I plan on going down to ~205 after eating maint for a month at 225. My stomach hasn't gone past my ribcage since 240 or so (~39" waist circum, ribcage area circum is ~40", hips were ~46", neck ~17"). Those measurements have all gone down except neck which went up and ribcage which stayed the same. My waist and hips were not much smaller measurement wise at 185-195 in the past. Yeah I am weak and fat and have poo poo posture, the fat is going down, the posture is improving, the weak is becoming less weak, and I finally get to participate in a hobby I've wanted to participate in since I was 19.

Tolkien minority posted:This is wonderful and I'm very proud of you (unironically, getting in shape is so hard especially after something major like surgery), I'm just making a point about calorie consumption. You're eating way, way too much. I just checked out your pics, and I really, really don't think you are 24% at 6 0 and I don't understand why you would eat at maintenance at 225 considering you are still obese at that height/weight; I would recommend a minimum of a 1000 cal deficit really. To put it in perspective, 24% at 235 is a lean mass of ~180. That means at 200 lb you'll be 10% body fat. 6 '0. . That's fuckin jacked dude, like dedicated to the gym for years from a sedentary lifestyle.. You are not 35 lbs of fat loss away from being loving jacked, no offense intended. just going by pics alone I would guess 30%+ but it's hard to tell.

Dicere posted:So it seems to consensus on the internet is that drop sets are good for aesthetics but don't really provide any strength gains. This just doesn't add up to me and doesn't jive with my experience so far. If I LOOK really jacked, surely I must at least be somewhat stronger than when I started, right? After reading on the topic, I decided on doing heavy weight, reps to failure, slowly scaling down until I'm burnt out, and then really dropping the weight to bust as many reps as possible. Spoto used to do drop sets and lots of bodybuilding work and there aren't many people you'll see bench 315 for 45 reps like it weighs nothing. I don't think he did them anywhere near when he did that though.

Homestar Runner posted:da gently caress does this even mean The second part means, you can do drop sets it will probably help if you get results from it. The only time it wouldn't help is if you are cutting corners on other parts of training that would have had better results due to time constraints.

sassassin posted:Your program sucks. I'm not buying that it will hurt your knees. If it were true then squatting, even below parallel, would hurt your knees eventually because you're applying the same force every rep just for less time. And the programming isn't "half squats" it's pause in half squat position then finish the rep with a relatively light weight. There are plenty of normal back squats and front squats in the programming as well, often on the same day. I get that terminal half squatters who use heavy weight often have knee problems. It makes sense, but the volume isn't there. 32 reps total in the 4 weeks, if I just ran the 4 cycles over and over it'd be something like 96-128 reps per year depending and at low intensity.

sassassin posted:There's no advantage to what you're doing. Your program is dumb. The advantage is in form and controlling descent. When you pause at that position you tend to not excessively forward lean and do shift back a bit more. Which carries over nicely to correcting form when you aren't pausing. There are literally 2 days of them out of 4 months of programming. "My knee had a bit of extra compressive force, it is forever damaged" is not how the body works. I don't plan on running them in future cycles because the issue has already been corrected, but they were useful. Saying a Sheiko program is dumb is kinda silly. The only thing dumb about Sheiko programs is they are time consuming, and if time were a limiting factor you'd be better served on something with less sets of higher reps. edit: Like, think of it as impulse placed upon the knee. It's likely not going to be 10x more than a normal rep, and even if it were that's completely acceptable given the rep scheme for the paused squats is 3x1 @ 50%, 3x1 @ 60%, 3x4@70% in reps x sets.

sassassin posted:Force is mass times acceleration.

Chinatown posted:my right wrist hurts something fierce when i have it palm up. cant put weight on it when palm up. every other position is fine. resorting to hammer and cable curls. If it just hurts period then don't listen to that advice. I was somehow moving my wrist slightly with my right hand while curling and had to compensate with those two things for a few weeks until it went away. My right wrist also has significantly more flexibility than my left so when I was learning to lift I had big issues with it being in exaggerated positions compared to the left.

UnfurledSails posted:Eating clean is cool for cutting since "clean" food is usually also not very calorie dense so you can eat tons of it even at a deficit. I buy 6lbs pack of chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts and you can literally toss salt/pepper/cayenne on them and then put them in the oven on 400 for an hour, check the temperature, and add around 10 minutes for every 10 degrees it is away from 180. Comes out juicy as heck every time. For variety you can mix with rice, toppings, or even tortillas and some cheese and vegetables. Or you can just eat the chicken breast, altho if you eat 1.25lbs at once with no carbs it kinda sucks downing the last 0.25-0.5lbs. Cumin, onion, and garlic powders are also decent things to season with. I've also sauted, but that does take lots of time if you're doing 6lbs of chicken. Need to cut it and do like 3-4 pan fulls. I often just marinated them briefly in some kind of pseudo buffalo sauce with worcestershire sauce and frank's hot sauce with chicken prepared this way. Goes great with rice. Lately I've been eating burritos with 85-15 ground beef. 3.5lbs of beef in the pan with 3 bell peppers and 2 onions, strain, put it back in the pan, toss in a big can or two of refried beans. Put in a tortilla with whatever veggies (lettuce/tomato being obvious) and some cheese. Lasts around 5 days. You can see with the taco or fajita seasoning packets but I prefer it without that. If you want to eat something real lazy and kinda gross you could use regular ol baked beans with no veggies and it will literally taste like baked beans. I'd recommend against it, personally. I guess I am weird because I like plain food quite a lot, too. Too many seasonings and you can't taste the ingredients. Khorne fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Nov 1, 2016 |

Ground beef has been on sale, I paid $2.85/lb for 93-7 the other week and $1.99/lb for 85-15 the other 2 weeks. At those prices the value is too high to not buy it and make burritos. It's normally like twice the price or something, or at least 50% more. Chinatown posted:also u can keep your burrito proteins/hot items in a seperate tupperware and reheat it by itself and add to a warm tortilla with fresh veggies Baked chicken breast, I usually just toss that in a ziploc.
