Did a lighter workout yesterday and no fever, thank god! still very tired though. I think it does just boil down to a chi/yin deficiency in the lungs (whatever that translates into western medicine)....

No thoughts? Anyone?

Not sure if this is the best sub-forum for this post but it seems the most accurate. So here's the history and then the problem. I froze my lungs in the cold air back in November and ended up losing...

Ah I see! So keep the protein up on recovery days then too? Sounds like a plan. I just tweaked the numbers a bit, and my old diet was only giving me 105 g of protein a day so I was only getting 0.62g...

I've been trying to tweak my diet to get more protein in. Used to do keto, but need more protein so haven't been keto for some time now. A friend at work who's a body builder recommends a ton more...

So would CNS adaptation account for that much gain in weight lifted? What I'm saying is if I went up a few pounds in weight I could see it being CNS adaptation, but to literally double the weight...

I can see shedding water weight, that would make some sense I guess. And now that Suffolk mentions it, I do notice my arms and legs and shoulders and chest do look more defined and cut, it's just the...

I see what you're saying, but still...where then is the weight coming off from? It's as if some invisible flesh is evaporating. Also, doesn't that seem like very low amount of muscle growth,...

Also, on some of the exercises, I'm lifting double the amount now that I was back in July. For example, donkey press, leg press and full leg press went from 200 lbs (2 sets of 10 reps) to 500 lbs (2...

Well this has me stumped. I've been keeping track of my weight, calories and workouts since the end of last June. I've been working out 3 days a week, doing intermittent fasting, and a good amount of...

Thanks for asking! Much better actually! I found out I was low on Vitamin D and Vitamin B-12. Got on some supplements and things got much better. Less stress too, now that the new job has settled in....

I think you're right, because it only seems to flare up when I have to exert myself to the limit (and beyond). Then it gets a little better, but always gets achy again when I do a hard workout. I...

Ah, I see. Didn't catch that part when I first read it. That method may work for me, I may try it!

I'm 54. I wonder if that might alleviate my ongoing soreness on my one elbow. But I'm unclear as to whether you can build muscle (and strength) doing higher reps if you don't ever increase the weight.

For the heavier lifts (squats, leg press, etc), I tend to up the weight by 10% or more. Some (like lower back exercises) I just add 5lb. increments to avoid injury.

Is there an ideal amount of time between increasing weight using progressive training? I've been upping my weights every 3rd week. So in other words, I lift at the current weight during my 3 workouts...

Thanks! I've noticed that my back and other achy stiffness fades just in time for the next work out. So 2 days off in between and then BAM! Feel better before my workout after 2 days off, then sore...

Well, this is troubling me. I seem to have stalled. Completely, as in not putting on muscle. I've been tracking my weight, BF percentage (with calipers) and also muscle measurements. I also log how...

I see. So there's no way to even get a ballpark figure within +/- a hundred calories or so? I'm more curious than anything. Going more my weekly weight loss, as you mentioned. It would be nice to...

This brings up a question...

Is there a relatively accurate way to determine how many calories you burn doing HIIT? I know this would fluctuate wildly depending on how intense, how long, etc. I've...
