@0st The answer is mostly going to be it depends on the individual. If you are regularly exceeding your recovery capacity and getting hurt - yes, you are doing too much and need to pull back. Some people find that they simply cannot do as much volume for certain muscle groups (usually lower...

@stuword A small carby breakfast beforehand + Gatorade instead of water significantly helped my lightheadedness when I worked out in the early morning. I also found that it just subsided over time (a few weeks to a month iirc).

I’ll start: Did you meet your 2023 fitness goals? What did you learn in the process? Not at all! 2023 was a rough fitness year for me. I had a major move, started a new job, and had to figure out how to organize my life around a bad commute. I’m probably about as strong as I was one year ago...

@objectivetruth Two weeks is a blip on the radar - you’ll be OK. Just focus on showing up at first and don’t push yourself too hard during your workouts the first week back.

@modesta12 Oh same! I think Cranon is going to have a meteoric rise over the next few years. I was listening an interview with Joey Flexx where he mentioned that she really busy with other things and wasn’t super dialed in on training and nutrition until a few months before Nats. Imagine how...

@gemdandy I totally missed that Sonita was injured - what happened??

@pompster2 Love this goal!

Tiffany Chapon just set a new squat world record (open and junior) with 163kg (360lbs) on her second attempt. She looks really strong today. Jessica looks great too. Deadlifts are gonna be fun later 👀

@worshiper1994 oh man I wasn’t able to watch today - definitely gonna go back and watch the recording of the 66s.

Lots of exciting stuff yesterday: Jurins Kengamu beats Russel Orhii in the -83s by 1.5 kg with a big final pull. This will be a fun rivalry for the next few years. Russ had his third squat was overturned, but Jurins final deadlift looked so comfortable he perhaps could have closed the gap...

@shadowenoch For metabolism, the research suggests over 60

Jurins is such a delight (1:00-1:15 for his experience at the end of the meet).

When and where: June 15-23 in Druskininkai, Lithuania, full schedule here (note: times listed in Eastern European Summer Time). For the most part, "A" groups will have the stronger lifters. Where to watch: Livestream on the IPF YouTube channel Live results Full roster (men, women)...

@nanathalieee Yes, it’s still worth it. There’s a lot more to strength training than just muscle gain. And it’s not like your gains fall off a cliff if you’re only eating .5 g per lbs of bodyweight. You may not be optimizing your gains, but you’re still getting gains. Perfect, enemy of the...

@countrygurl32 A good chunk of that is probably water weight from the big increase in strength work

@_marc97 Sounds like normal exercise water retention imo.

@acco340 Currently doing Stronger by Science 2.0 strength program five days per week in preparation for a powerlifting meet later this spring. I also do vinyasa yoga 1x per week and will start to do moderate intensity cardio 1-2x per week once the weather gets a bit better.

@dawn16 The SBS Pod had a great discussion of this in their last episode. They did a semi-deep dive on the primary study this recommendation comes from. It was in response to a question about minimum protein intake and they came to a similar conclusion to what you pasted above - .7g/lbs as a...

@jimipo Same! I really, really hope Lya is healthy because she is such a beast at full strength. Jess is my pick for the -76s but I am so hyped for that battle - could go to any of them! Her coach said she wanted to go heavier for her last deadlift at Canadian Nationals but he talked her out of...

@ikonixx I think both you and @787 are kinda illustrating the point I made in my comment, which is that you can have different averages for a population while most of the distribution is still overlapping.
