Typical injury story....too much exertion from a long bike ride the day before, not enough sleep the night before, not enough food, and I didn't listen to my body when I felt tired warming up and I...

If you're really gaining 1-2lbs of bodyweight per week, you shouldn't be stalling at 155lbs on bench for more than a couple weeks. How long have you been stalled?

IMHO, 5x5 straight sets and...

It might not necessarily be your push exercises that are causing the should pain. Low bar squats and weighted chin-ups have injured my shoulder, and caused it to flair up when benching. Benching in...

Roughly 2500 calories?

There's your problem. Weigh your food. I'm am 100% positive that there is absolutely literally no possible way that a 400lb man would not be losing weight if he were...

Gain weight while lifting weights 3x/week. This will help add a bit of muscle so that when you eventually lose fat, it will leave the places you don't want it to be, and you'll keep curves elsewhere....

You need to be going to the gym at least 3x per week. 1 day per week in the gym will do just about nothing for you, especially if your diet isn't on point.

False info like this is what causes people to deny IF and call it a fad or false hope. The actual and very real benefits of IF are appetite suppression, and satiety. It does not cause additional fat...

Eat as much as you can whilst not feeling like chit in the gym. Definitely get in carbs in before, and protein either before or after, doesn't really matter. Morning workouts make it tough to do this...

Yes.

But at 5' 10" 149lbs, if you lost any more weight you'd also look like a starved child. To me, you look around 12% body fat, which is the ideal leaness IMO. To get any more lean would mean...

5' 7", 117lbs for those wondering.

A 117lb female wondering if she has too much fat on her glutes and lower back?

You can't spot reduce fat. Since your are underweight, your best bet would be...

Jason's analysis are usually spot on, but as much as I hate pretty boy Greg, this guy is def natty. He's not that big, and the pictures Jason posted are when he has a pump. No, his clients don't have...

You guys are misinterpreting intermittent fasting and creating a strawman argument. Neither Martin Berkhan or Greg O'Gallagher specifically say that from a calories in, calories out standpoint,...

Everything is about balance. If you were putting honey on ice cream or a sugar snack or something and that's where most of your carbs were coming from, maybe that wouldn't be the best thing to do, at...

When ending a cut, I immediately (meaning over the course of 3-4 days) raise my calories back up to 100-200 calories below a conservative estimate of my TDEE so that I don't overshoot. If you do...

The point I was making was about the sugar content and processed carbs in general. It doesn't matter whether it's coming from ice cream (that has sugar in it) or donuts.

Simple, basic, and 100% true facts like this are really hard to get across when the vast majority of the fitness industry is preaching "6-pack shortcuts" and selling "9-minute 6-pack abs" videos.

OP you mention failed attempts....I'm guessing you've tried eating higher amounts of carbs in the past and haven't been able to stick to your diet?

Getting back to your original question, I think...

I eat meat everyday and enjoy burgers wholeheartedly. That said, while going completely vegetarian is not beneficial to health, a diet that is mostly plant-based is undeniably "healthier" in the...

At 6' 3" and 161lbs, I doubt you are fat in any sense of the word, not even skinny fat. Show pics or I doubt you're actually 20% body fat. See below.

The only reason I've ever done this is to actually eat them without cooking. I don't think there's any point in soaking oats overnight if you plan on cooking them.

I haven't done it in a while but...
