@laughter If they are already fit with lower body fat (bf) some folks need to up the protein more to build additional muscle. I agree though, I'd expect protein to be that number for a guy that weighs 130lbs with only some body fat. Women can usually get away with a little less grams protein per...

@sriram I just came back last month after being off for 8 weeks. I hate how the body retains nothing when it comes to retaining soreness endurance and you got to sloooowly ramp back up, especially with age. 💀 I feel like the best starting point, tabling calories, tracking, metrics, performance...

@vicolehurroughs I get that. Like skinny fat is a thing. But like, that high a percentage seems so scuffed to me. Good point about older folks being more typical for that kind of scan, considering muscle loss due to aging.

@cedric48 Right? BMI doesn't even account for muscle like dexa is supposed to. There's no way you can be obese by dexa but not by BMI unless the dexa calibration is scuffed.

@kbhurst Chest stuff is also great for your shoulders and back, so it's a good way to counter desk job posture imo.

@dikaioumenoi If you don't hate peas, they have a surprising amount of protein in them!

@judenshabbot Folks have already commented on the math, so I'll skip that. I'll add that the number for overweight used to be 27 and it was bumped down to 25 for reasons that don't really have any scientific support but then BMI isn't really scientific despite its use sooo shrug on that one...

I also stopped when my stomach started looking a little bloated. I later learned that most bulks are 1-3 months, not 4-6 months like I did. I really enjoyed the first three months and the back half got monotonous and I hated needing to eat extra to keep from feeling hungry in the middle of the...

@pompster2 This is probably the smallest but most impactful step to take. Exercise is always going to be punishment if it's not something you enjoy.

@eheart77 I was surprised how long it took me to gain weight. I ate at similar rates as you during my bulk and my weight would go up 1-2 lbs each month. It kind of helped me be less nervous about weight gain when I saw how hard it was to do when active. I only got up to 3-4x per week (basically...

@sabin Valid. If I tried to keep up with my 20s body in my 30s I'd bust something before I hit the 40s. 💀

@dersaemann That's totally realistic to drop it if it's stressful. Being too good at calorie counting can end up being a slippery slope into disordered thinking that messes with your relationship with food and creates worse problems down the line than just losing weight more slowly. It's a good...

@prodigalson8523 I saw it hot 41C last month. I hope cooler weather makes it easier to exercise. Completely unrelated, but are there places you like to shop for clothes? I really liked Muji back in 2015 but in 2023 could not find nearly the same selection. :(

@aria903 POC but not Hispanic: Stephanie Buttermore She's stepped away from workout routines, so I'd say her content is more supplemental. But there's a lot of information on that channel that goes into science literature on fitness and the mental component of exercise. Had I not found her...

@alabarre09 I will say that there is an upper limit that gets hit while leading a regular life. I can work out 2-4x a week and stay in a 25% to 28% body fat range but getting lower than that 25% threshold while also working a full time desk job has way more traps than positives. Hitting burn...
