@rnstaplesattnet I don't buy sugary drinks? I pregame water when I wake up. Water at the gym. Water before each meal. Sip of water before bed, no more. Might sip milk after a meal as a palate cleanser, but I've broken myself from milk binges. (I love milk.) I had to doublecheck that...

@sabu935 Had a nutrition professor claim he gave blood regularly, as men don't menstruate. (No way to easily lower blood iron.) He was a little bonkers, but he had a point.

@bjpascoal I prefer a reverse pyramid/wave strategy. Depending on the week, I'll ramp to 5s, and hit a few sets. Then back down to 12s and hit a few grueling sets. Whatever the lowest set of 5s was, I set that as my "minimum" threshold. So, if I hit "at least" 185 lbs, the last time, I...

@bjpascoal So are you just doing one work set?

@dawn16 31 and 37 are more prime, but 32 is pretty close.

@nanathalieee Most people aren't lifting "hard enough" for fatigue to be detrimental. Just means you're minimizing the benefits. There's a difference between the amount cited for "gain", and the amount needed to "live". Unless you're vegetarian, you're probably getting "enough".

@ms7dc Have you tried trying?

@yeswin A: Sleep. 2: Nutrition D: Proper routine that fits your goals.

@servant52 Cardiovascular fitness is great for the heart; what matters most is training your fork putdowns. Without or without energy expenditure, a caloric deficit facilitated by eating less is required for weight loss.

@jeannec Bump to 2-3 full body sessions.

@thisisme123 Which is fast for me. : D Never gone that fast on a treadmill. Sprinted on flat ground, but.

@thisisme123 Good God, are you trying to kill yourself? Scale that shite back. Intervals. Now, this might sound easy, but I don't know where you are. My standard walking pace is 3.3. My "slow jogging pace" is 4 mph. Jog 30 seconds. Walk 4 minutes 30 seconds. Repeat 5-11 times. (total...

@gbecca87 Morning nap = fine Nap after noon = disaster I suck it up if I'm tired at 2pm.

@basicsacademy Oatmeal every morning. Rotation of: 6 eggs, spinach & lb of ground meat, green beans and chicken thighs, tuna wrap & banana. I'm really really lazy, but damn simple is tasty.

@upliftinglove I start slow jogging at 4 mph. I'm not sure I could get the form down to speedwalk 5 mph.

@fionar Lifting for... 8 months. I'd suggest having some checkmarks along the way. Maybe plot training 12 weeks at a time.

@mhdagley Some people here like SL. That's cool - beats the bashing it gets in other sectors. That said, I've run Starting Strength, which is 3x5. Three sets is enough to make you question your sanity. Five sets of squats 3x a week is more than you need. I'd go with this variation...

@dillinger To a degree. I am n=1. Took most of last year off. Been on an experimental cut since New years. 205 lbs - 192 lbs. Regained all my strength back, and have been setting PRs. Recent bests are in the range of 140/195/285/375 OBSD. Without getting into training, dial in your...

@gm0nkx I have absolutely no idea what a "health coach" is. Sounds like a cashgrab.

@dinneratsix Prime movers are forearms. Still missing squat, hinge, bench, row, OHP, and pullups. This can't be a serious query.
