I don't trust 90% of the doctors out there these days. They are quick just to make a quick judgement, and get on to the next patient. You really need to do your research and use your common sense. ...

As ironwill already stated, progression over time is a measure of progress.. soreness isn't generally required.

However, I will say this: If you aren't getting sore, you aren't pushing yourself to...

Induced_drag said it perfectly. I think your bf must be around 30% as well. I am 5'8" and I'm 185 lbs and I'm about 21% bf and I'm not small compared to most guys my height.

During the course of beginning to weight-lift, your body goes through a ton of changes.

If I take a few months off lifting, then get back in to it, my muscles will immediately start to balloon up...

Looks okay. If you are having grip issues then use some liquid chalk. It's not going to solve your grip strength, but will give you a bit more confidence as you will be able to have your hands...

Yes, he's correct. If it's an Olympic bar, and it's centred correctly, you can have two plates on one side with nothing on the other and it won't tip. Just don't press down on the weighted side...

Yep. There aren't many people under 180 that can push 3 plates... not that I've seen in general gyms. Usually men pushing 3 plates are 185+.. mostly guys in the 200s.

I guess the real question...

Don't use the scales, don't use anything else to judge your progress except two things:

1. Progress in the gym
2. Measuring tape

Measure your waist everyday. If you carry your weight around...

Heh. Wrong. The world works for people who have good looks. Don't have it, then you're going to need something else. Charisma or humour are next in line. Then comes muscles. For most women, as...

Salad's don't have to suck.. just make it a man's salad!

This is my chicken butter curry salad

Keep working at it. Try not to concentrate on the short goals, but rather the long term one. Also, do wash your mirror before taking pictures. That toothpaste spatter is nasty ;)

It is extremely variable. Although you may feel that your muscle group has recovered, your strength may just not be there yet and you may not be able to push yourself hard enough on your next...

Hello:

I am currently 182lbs @ 5'8 with about 15 lbs overweight so a good weight for me should be around 167-172.

I have a good baseline of strength in all my muscle groups as I concentrate...

Cucumbers are the bomb for hunger cravings. You can fill yourself on them and celery or carrots and pretty much feel like a pig. However since they are only veggies, it's basically 0 calories. The...

I agree with you. I guess I was just looking at this post from a cutting perceptive in which case Banana's aren't the best choice because you still need to hit your protein macros and those calories...

A medium sized banana is 27g carbs, and 105 calories. So the calories are lower than I remember, but 27g of carbs is quite high for 1.3g of...

Welcome to the forum!

Make small adjustments. Cut about 100-200 calories from your current diet and watch the results over a few weeks.

As a side note, 4-5% BF is not healthy.

Welcome to the forums!

First of all, can you tell us are you trying to bulk (put on weight) or cut (lose weight.)

The bananas are very high in carbohydrates and calories! This is great if...

The quality of this thread is next to zero. Here we have a gentleman trying to get some information on why he is hungry and even provides a possible reason of why he is hungry.

Multiple trolls...

Nothing beats real fruit, vegetables when it comes to most of your vitamins. A multivitamin is not very efficient and your body does not uptake many of the vitamins in the pill. Last I checked,...
