Usually these problems (whether real or perceived) vanish when you gain some muscle and lose some fat.

Pictures may help clarify but the advice is likely to be the same regardless.

It's an oversimplification. Rep ranges only apply if you can take each set to a consistent level of exertion (e.g. 1 rep before failure). That's not possible if you can't adjust the resistance.

Yes. Once of the hardest parts of fat loss is sustaining it for long enough.

We get given false hope when we drop several pounds in 1 week - but its mostly just water.

Depends on your deficit and your activity levels.

If you are at maintenance or above and you aren't doing a lot of high intensity exercise, you'll preserve glycogen for a lot longer.

If you are training to get better at pullups or to grow muscle, it doesn't matter too much - but if you want to compare one performance to another, you...

You are dropping glycogen. There is a limit to how much of this you carry - so it's not a plateau in fat loss, you just ran out of glycogen.

I think the problem here is expectations. You lose a...

I don't know why it would specifically help with bodybuilding goals but many people will gain health benefits from cardio and I think it can be done (within reason) without preventing gainz

I couldn't adfoc.ate it

If peak strength is your goal then you can't really stray too far from low reps... It may be that you are getting too close to failure (which can have a disproportionate effect on fatigue). A program...

Only slightly more. Find calorie dense foods that you like eating - that's the key. You don't have to be stuffing yourself with (all) low calorie dense bulky stuff like vegetables and chicken breast....

At 1% per week, it would take 60 weeks to reach under 80kg

I wouldn't.

They are useless at measuring BF% - not just that one but all makes - because BIA is a flawed method.

Anything short of a DEXA or bodpod is going to be a waste of time. You may as...

Yeah, I wouldn't do it deliberately. IIRC they looked at multiple results and many of them showed no relationship and a few showed a positive relationship. I think you simply have more energy on hand...

This podcast addresses the question of whether we should diet down before doing muscle gain:

Plants don't like being eaten either. It's just that we don't anthropomorphize those like we do with animals.

Definitely. You are basically being guided by your appetite. You have to overcome your appetite - which is not easy - in a consistent manner if you want to make changes.
