@basabeo Sounds like you forgot to compensate for the additional activity in your diet, so you went from a caloric surplus to a deficit. That's why you look smaller and likely also why you lost strength. Don't trust the body scans, they're effectively useless.

@lepomis Except you said "every single keto online personality", as if they all carry the zealotry you seem to think that anyone on keto has.

@faetalesprincess If you can do 36 sets for biceps in a single session and still feel like you could do more, you're definitely not training with proper intensity.

@lepomis For someone who's ranting about people demonizing something, you sure seem intent on demonizing(and generalising).

@earnest1018 Your lifts are stalling because you're at an advanced stage, and it gets progressively harder to increase numbers. Unless you find yourself regressing, being irritable, tired all the time and having brain fog, you're not overtraining.

@jeanetteh Looks like pullups and rows for a very specific purpose, not for general growth and strength.

@helen2002 Grgic et al. and Refalo et al. They're both review studies, and I can't find an overview of the RIR for the included studies. In the limitations of the review by Refalo et al., they mention that results may be influenced by "current set termination methods". Sure, if you look at...

@helen2002 Hardly. Two systematic reviews from just last year(Grgic et al. and Refalo et al.) concluded that there was no difference in muscle hypertrophy between going to failure and not going to failure. Other studies seem to conclude that there's only a very minor benefit, at best, to...

@helen2002 I think you should be careful about jumping to the conclusion that this study "ends that whole silly debate". The authors themselves state: In short, it can't be conclusively said that training closer to failure is objectively better for muscle hypertrophy. Interestingly too, one...

@kebo In submaximal training routines, AMRAPs are pretty common, even for the big compounds. Helps with autoregulating progression.

@angel41 Your weight loss slowed down because you've lost 14kg, not because you adjusted your macros. As your body mass decreases, so does your TDEE, so you need to eat progressively less to stay in a 1000 calorie deficit.

@angel41 They're 0% accurate and effectively useless. You can't even track trends with them. You've left out the most important information: are you losing ~2lbs per week?

@neverbeenalone I have never seen anyone dispute that all protein sources count when tallying up one's daily intake. In terms of vegetable protein, the smart guys over at Examine.com also say that if you're worried about amino acid profiles for muscle growth, you can just eat more protein...

@primary0 There's no evidence that I can find that proves that there's a physiological benefit in protein intakes over 2.3g/kg/day while eating in a deficit. Even Helms himself says this, and suggests that eating that amount of protein probably has more to do with satiety and mood. You'll be...

@jbreyes777 Rule 7. See a doctor or physiotherapist.

@sunset1 There's no free access to the full study anywhere, but if anyone wants to read the abstract, here you go. The difference in muscle growth between 0.6g/lb and 0.8g/lb is already known to be slim to none, so that's not really new information. There are, however, a few limitations to the...

@helen2002 Got a link?

@marti44 It's the surplus of food that keeps them from losing weight, but sure, insulin resistance makes it more difficult to lose weight.

@dawn16 The major cause of modern obesity is the abundance of hyperprocessed and hyperpalatable foods. Insulin resistance tends to be seen in people who are obese; it's not the insulin resistance that is making them obese.

@damon46789 An FFMI of 25 isn't a hard ceiling.
