I'm 34. I lift quite a bit, and if I don't really track my diet and just eat what I consider a normal healthy diet, my body fat % stays around 15%. If I put a significant amount of effort into...

I would argue the exact opposite is true. Hips shooting up indicates weak quads. Hips shooting up turns a squat into a good morning, which is MORE posterior chain, not less.

How do you plan on using the information it gives you? So you buy something that tells you how many steps you took, and what your heart rate was at all points during the day. How is that going to...

This means you are losing muscle mass. Your focus should be on preventing or reversing that trend. Trying to get a 30" waist at 125 lbs is just going to make the muscle loss accelerate, and put you...

I assume this is chicken breast? That is a lot. Roughly a pound and a half. That's over 1000 calories right there. What else are you eating every day?

Eat less and you will start losing weight.

Your camera is badly tilted in every video. That makes it hard to tell. Reps 1-3 looked like they were past parallel. 4 & 5 were close.

Reset your program, and don't increase the weight unless...

Those are some beast mode numbers. Good job man.

I haven't seen you post in a long time. Are you still training for cross fit competitions?

This is the problem with HIIT. Everyone makes up their own definition for what it is.

The standard definition of "High Intensity" is greater than 90% of max speed. This is WAY past the point of...

You are only doing 8-10 chins total per workout. You are doing 30-40 pushups and 60+ dips per workout. I would try increasing the number of chinup sets so you get more volume in. Instead of doing...

But there is no question they do shift the curve. And the cause for these silly arguments simply has to do with the fact users and non users are talking about different points on the curve.

Using...

Deadlifts look OK to me.

Squats just look like you are using more weight than you can handle. Your legs aren't strong enough, so you are cutting depth short and leaning forward to use your back. ...

If I recall correctly, Zourdos' conjecture was that lifting is more optimal than HIIT for improving body composition. I never heard him say that HIIT can't build muscle. Maybe he has shared more...

Not necessarily, 20 second sprint intervals on a rower are brutal and each is maybe 10-15 pulls.

Rowing wouldn't be my choice method, but if you are going to do it, 8-10 all out 20 second sprints...

Incredible. I was most impressed by the first lift though. 245 raw, touching her chest.

Are you using a scale to weigh out your food portions? If you are not, your calorie counting is not going to be accurate at all.

Bioimpedance scales work by measuring the electrical resistance across your body. Fat acts as an insulator (high resistance), the water in your muscle tissue acts as a conductor (low resistance). ...

I'm more inclined to think the problem is related to your routine. At 170lbs body weight, just about anyone should be able to improve on a 120lb x10 bench press, regardless of diet. If you are only...

Yes, for now anyways. Microelectronics division is in the process of being sold off. Fortunately that spared us from the layoffs this time around.

Sounds like you and I work for the same company.

If you were using 100 lbs on your last cycle, you shouldn't have been using 110 lbs this time.

You don't recalculate your 1RM every cycle. You are only supposed to add 5lbs to your training max...
