I'm not sure how you'd distinguish between form and strength. For squats, it seems like people's form starts to fail when their quads can't keep their knees together. Keeping the knees together...

One of the things I've noticed here, is the guys with the really amazing abs, tend to say they don't do anything special for them, then casually mention that on top of their compound exercises that...

You may have some muscle, but unless you've have, or have had, a job or sport that's forced you to develop deliberate muscle mass, you really only have the muscle you need to move your bulk around. ...

It's due to a lot of things, both directly and indirectly, and it's very hard to know for sure because you have to go by what's testable and what's controllable. People just get awful cranky when...

Depends? Just joking that anyone should CARE, but it's still technically correct, ball park. I double checked, and my rough memory of what a liter of air weighs is off a little, it's more like 7.8...

In other words, it is possible for "a person" to eat "whatever that person" wants, and still lose weight?

Only as long as what they want includes the sufficient nutrients of a balanced diet, and...

Actually, that was the point of that photo series. It's exhale on the left, with the protruded stomach, and inhale on the right. The main difference between those two pictures is hip position. ...

That's funny, that's the feeling I get when I go the OTHER way, not enough fiber and not enough water. Are you hydrating well?

The only probably you'd have adding meat to your diet is if you do what a lot of people do, and just put a fatty delicious awesome bacon wrapped cheese and grease bomb of meat in your stomach with...

It's a balance between having the activity level you want and eating the food. If you're used to eating very low amounts of food, you won't even realize all the ways you've adjusted your life to...

This is a real concern, but the time frame they are worried about is wrong. You have PLENTY of time to out heal your catabolism.

Fasted cardio, if it works, SHOULD work by allowing your body to...

Yeah, abs are a combination of body fat to lean mass RATIO, not really fat percentage. That means they are a combination of diet, exercise, and posture. You'd probably have abs now if you targeted...

Technically, true. I just mean if you aim for maintenance but also push yourself lifting, you'll eventually drift out to the leanness your activity level and eating support, without "intentional"...

Irrelevant, for the question as asked. Efficiency is irrelevant, for the question as asked.

If the question is, "How long until the body has stored all the calories as fat", that's a different...

What's your question?

You believe that you went on holiday, ate at a large calorie deficit, did cardio but went easy on lifting, and feel as though you may have sacrificed too much lean mass?
...

Carbs are a lazy nutritionists short hand for calorie balance. People became obsessed with carbs because most people's weaknesses ARE carbs. However, there's nothing wrong with carbs directly;...

I have absolutely no way to prove it, but I'd bet the effect we're seeing is directly related to frame size and total body fat. It seems as though there is a certain amount of body fat you're body...

Technically speaking, you'd see the gain on the scale roughly about the time you finished eating. It's a black box system problem. You'd need to eat the amount of food MASS containing roughly 3500...

Eventually, if you eat just below maintenance and work out, you'll get lean. Just takes longer.

I still firmly believe that there's not three different kinds of people, there's three different kinds of appetites:

1) Ectomorphs are people who don't prefer calorie dense foods, but are...
