@polcat I used multiple calorie calculators that all came around somewhere between 2300-400 calories. I feel like the biggest issue is that some didn’t allow for an age input under 18, and I was kinda stuck between their definitions of activity levels. I used to be in a upper/lower split so I...

@tiyashrivasthav I seriously needed to hear this. Thank you!

@iatwdave Oh man, I was about to say “But peenerwiener, the people I look up to wouldn’t do that! I’ve seen their real bodies in videos where they’re hitting a new PR” blah blah blah and then I saw Stephanie Buttermore in that subreddit. She’s one of the girls that I had listened to for info...

Hey y’all! This is maybe the first obstacle that I’ve really been stuck at since I’ve started out and haven’t been able to get past. I’ve only been lifting since around late June 2020. I know substantial progress isn’t going to come to me within the span of a single summer, but that’s not what...
