    Mod Announcement

    @acer621 I really hope there continues to be high traffic and activity in the daily posts!! I enjoy being able to post questions/concerns/frustrations in a comment thread and get plenty of feedback, rather than take up space and time with a stand alone post.

    Did anybody stop short of their weight loss goals because they realized they liked their body at a higher weight?

    @wedemars I lost 40-50lbs and got down to about 118 at my lowest (5'2"), I'm currently trying to gain back a bit of weight and put on muscle. I more so want to look athletic and *gasp* maybe even a bit "bulky?"

    Insatiable appetite since I started lifting

    @jacksoncris You say you’re a healthy weight and I saw in another comment that before you were lifting you were probably eating 2k a day. That goes to show 1600 is definitely too low for maintenance especially when you factor in added energy output. You gotta eat to grow muscle. And the more...

    Insatiable appetite since I started lifting

    @jacksoncris I doubt 2500 is a big surplus for your size. We have the exact same stats and my TDEE is like 2350+. If you’re new to lifting it’s the peeerfect time to keep your calories on the higher end IMO. Newbie gains are real and will only be boosted by not being in a calorie deficit!

    Quitting sugar --- healthy or too restrictive?

    @jesse1354 Can you do sugar substitutes? If so I highly recommend baking your own treats with swerve/investing in Walden Farms 0 cal syrup

    Program Review: Candito 6-Week Powerlifting Program (3 Cycles)

    @camo320 Great write up! Did you alter the program to make the 5 day weeks a 4 day split? I’m curious as I’m looking for new intermediate programs but I only lift 4xs a week (anything more and my body revolts a bit.)

    Of all the places I have looked for self love, I had no idea I would find it at the gym
