Yes, it makes it easier to do a pull up...

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

Apparently not:

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:

The only cliffs I'm going to give you is this: People who have dieted down to very lean states actually...

It doesn't change the nutritional content (although expose to air does destroy some vitamins) but I have a feeling it would change satiety - if you spend time chewing rather than just slugging it...

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

By 'design' I of course mean evolution. We have a gut length similar to other...

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.

Keep going. There is nothing special you can do to drop fat from some areas and not others. But you'll need to get down to maybe 75kg before you start to look reasonably lean.

No, I am going to call confirmation bias on anecdotes. An overly restrictive diet is never going to be better than a mixed diet that doesn't have problems meeting all macro and micronutrient needs....

Not all protein goes towards protein synthesis. You only need about 30-40g each meal. Just drop the shakes - 210g per day is a lot more than you need.

You will only gain fat if you are in a net...

I thought thongs were what Australians called flip flops... I guess that's what you're getting at?

I went into a restaurant in Sydney and there was a sign on the door saying "no vests, no thongs,...

The idea of resistance training to support fat loss is to prevent your body burning muscle as energy instead of fat.

If that's all you care about and don't have goals to increase muscle mass, a...
