    thank you, I am not built for bulk but considering I’m 25-75% stronger in all my lifts, and weigh the same, I know I am leaner and that is a great feel for me. Somehow the second photo doesn’t really...

    Sorry, what is ED?

    Your lipids are absolutely fine esp if you have no other risk factors.

    Do you think there’s a meaningful difference between grazing all day and eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks, all other things being equal?

    My take aways from your post are:

    - small amounts of saturated fat are not associated with adverse effects. I agree. The question is defining small. You say 10% of total calories. That sounds...

    agree your starting position isn’t terrible, but then you raise your hips up first which breaks everything you just set up!

    Also your upper back is a little rounded, I think you need to contract...

    Agree, that was more to set my position in the mirror but now I no longer do that.
