Yes, I felt the same, so after posting, I got a Jackson/Pollock 4 body fat measurement, and recorded 16.83%.

On August 11, I got Jackson/Pollock 7 and recorded 14.47%, after dropping 6.5 pounds.

Long ago, when I first learned about lifting, I must have heard “3 minute rests” between sets and I ran with it. So, imagine Deadlift, OHP, pullup, 2 supplementals and a core, with 5 progressive...

Right on.

Ya know, three times now I've been told that 2 hours is too long for a lifting session, and once I've been told that if you're gonna lift heavy, then you need a [a solid 3 minutes of]...

Updated my original post to indicate "muscle" gain, and not "mass" gain. The original program really did produce great muscle gains. I track weight, bf, and measurements, but I have no pics--I'll add...

For 5 months I was gaining 0.5lb/week, of muscle (a bit more in total mass), consistently, and then I got mentally and somewhat physically fatigued (when attempting to move from 3/week to 4/week) and...

I just had my first workout ever in which I was able to split squat 2x50 dumbbells, all the while my knee tracking perfectly, and not wavering. For me, this was huge.

I started with a 95# squat...

For me, the BIA scale is convenient, and so I track from it. It's a tool and has its value and limitations. It is most useful when you consider the data be relatively accurate over a long term, and...

I think that you and Tally are both saying the same thing--stick with a program. Alright, I'm convinced.

As far as legs, you're right about that. When I started climbing my squat was 95 pounds,...

One-legged Swiss ball curl! Seriously, try it.

Yes, my first post was not clear, and you're a saint for responding. My first draft was so long that the server rejected it. Same for the second. I...

Thanks for the direction.



Lord knows that my wife would agree with you. I'm doing 3 minutes rest between all working sets, and absolutely no screwing around. I'm so focused that I can't even...

Hello sages,

I'm quite new here, have enjoyed reading through the posts, and reckon I'm ready to ask for help.

Hello,

I understand where you're coming from. I'm 46, now, and I've learned some things. At 14, I was 70 pounds, and I didn't break 100 pounds until the summer before my senior year. Puberty...

I've been using Strongur [sic] for 6 years, and it's been great for me. It's the only fitness app I've paid for. It used to be called Multi-year because it really is designed for long term tracking,...

Hey Rob,

Your story really resonates with me, so much so that I created an account. It very nearly could have been me writing those words. I stabilized, after school, at 6’0” and 132 lbs at ~6%...
