@living4christ560 I would ask your doctor, but walking is where I’d start. Your body is going through some significant changes, so keeping intensity low will avoid the risk of injury. As you near your goal weight and acclimate your body to regular exercise, you can incorporate some jogging.

@scott2511 I hate that marketing has pushed this insecurity into the general consciousness of men. Jumping on test is obviously going to emphasize the associated effects. Not having the testosterone levels of a fit 20 year old is not a medical condition or a bad thing. You’re going off this slim...

@ms7dc I was at my heaviest running 30 miles a week. I lost all my extra weight after getting injured and becoming relatively sedentary. We’re very energy-efficient animals, which is a fancy way of saying that you will never outrun a bad diet. It is all diet.

@goodbookguy I would consider using light dumbbells that allow for a less restrictive range of motion. A weight that puts you in the 15-20 rep range. If there’s no popping, do that for several months before working your way up to something heavy.

@pastorgarymartin Your most optimal weight is the one you feel your best at.

@basicsacademy I tend to try to meal prep out my work lunches with the particularly spartan stuff so I can eat bigger at home and not have to rely on willpower to eat healthier foods when I’m feeling hungry. Usually some sort of bean stew with vegetables.

@joshteo It’s probably a good idea to take a small break before a gaining phase, especially if you were lifting intensely while cutting. Maybe cut your volume and weight in half for two sessions and then rest the next two while eating at maintenance. When you move back into your cycle, go slow...

@tom34 If that’s a compilation of user-submitted data, I wouldn’t put much stock in it. If we recorded other metrics that way, the standard male would be 6’4” with a 9” penis

@davew0958 Some dudes are born beefy and some aren’t, don’t worry about it.

@guariglio8195 For your weight, roughly 100g of protein with a ~500kcal surplus depending on your tdee

@antitox Use dumbbells and drop the weight to the point you can manage a full range of motion with a slow and controlled eccentric. If mobility is enough of an issue that you can’t ambulate your arms like that, you need to work on that directly.

@roland7777 If you could be an elite athlete just playing the sport, you wouldn’t have coaches devoted to strength training and conditioning. You’re going to plateau at just the level of energy your body needs to do the thing. So you need to go even more intense in your training to build a bank...

@jess1 Injuring myself a few times this year has definitely humbled me and made me consider my routine and habits more carefully.

@polarbearwear What’s helped me start to fill out my chest is going really light with slow eccentric into a pause with a deep stretch at the bottom. I would consider adding more volume, regardless.
