@freethinker711 It was a game changer for me. 3+ years later, and I've never felt nor looked better.

@godisworking101 You couldn't pay me to run that.

@marwils Dexa is designed to measure bone density. It is essentially guessing at non-lean body mass

@kuroba You should still be able to make decent progress with 2 months lifting and 2-3 weeks off as a cycle. It's really not that different than the current 7 weeks on, 1 week off deloading protocol a lot of programs adhere to. Speaking of which, what programs have you been running, and what...

@marwils Definitely not worth it at all. Here is my source. Your mirror and eyes are by far the best metric for body composition.

@nowhereman Aim for 185g a day. If you are a little short, no big deal.

@lucyflor Do more reps at 35. By 15-20 you should be ready for 40s.

@thehappyvirus First of all, ego lifting is a stupid term. Secondly, disconnecting hypertrophy gains from strength gains is a mistake. The two go hand-in-hand, and both modalities of training should be regularly explored, preferably with appropriate nutrition for each. It is also worth noting...

@thehappyvirus Why lower weight and higher reps? We don't know what his current goals are, we just know he put too much value on an inconsistent machine reading. High weight/low reps is every bit as viable a training strategy as low weight/high reps depending on current training goals.

@crosswise Starvation more isn't really a thing. You are eating too much. Eat less.

@gwpga17 Eat a lot, and run this.

@christiancourtship36 I asked my doctor about getting tested for it. She told me my insurance only covers it if I'm shown to be deficient. Otherwise it's hundreds of dollars. I wasn't showing any of the hallmarks, so I declined.

@thankgod If I had to guess, I would say it is the lack of sleep.

@nathan2018 OP! This is the correct answer. Please read it. Twice. The wiki linked is also indispensable.

@thankgod You aren't overtraining, you are under-recovering. They aren't the same. One is much easier to fix. Spend a few days eating big and sleeping. You will recover faster than you think.

@lorna1964 I'm going to be blunt. I'm guessing that as a female vegetarian your diet probably needs work. You can train all you want, but if you aren't getting enough protein to allow your body to recover then you are just running yourself into the ground. That would be the first place I...

@truth76 Weight loss is all about caloric intake. I would strongly encourage you to bulk and run a better program if you want to gain muscle.

@mawglad I'm not sure I understand. Is this your training session, or like a back up if you don't have time for a full session? Regardless, the only way to get lean is by losing weight, and the best way to lose weight is by eating less.

@vincentleo I'm at the point now that by the end of my bulk I'm looking forward to cutting and vice versa. Reading this should provide clarity.

@vincentleo Yeah, I started out the same way you did. Now I bulk and cut cyclically. I still gain more fat than I want, but the trade off is worth it for the lean mass. I'm good at cutting, so that helps relieve the stress of weight gain. Just do a slow bulk initially. Add something like 300...
