@hal16 I don’t think it’s something you ever fully forget, but you can pretty much recover from it in five years to a decade. Which is a lot sooner than it seems. Best of luck

@sharkbait13 Why do you ask a question if you don’t want to hear the answer

@cybernetic If you did you would not dumbbell bench 22 kg after eight years. and listen to the people here who know

@ellann2 Daily weight fluctuations

@servant52 It is as long as your CICO checks out. It is not if it doesn’t

@sharkbait13 That seems like a healthy attitude. You can also do them light at first, and work your way up. That is what people mean when they say you should squat, btw.

@hal16 It’s not because you didn’t train your obliques. It’s just next to impossible to gain that much muscle. But you’ve made a massive improvement and look ten times better, hopefully you also feel ten times better now being able to actually do stuff with your body. I know anorexia is a...

@jbrad01x I guess PhDs don’t know much about the study of knowledge :)

@sharkbait13 It is funny because front squats are harder on the back muscles than normal squats. So it might even be a psychological issue, who knows

@jbrad01x You’d be surprised to find out the depth of the “science” that is behind a lot of fitness

@ilovegod777 Hoy sort out by: 1.- Learning to identify who are the experts in a field. 2.- Following the advice of those experts. #1 is where most people fail, because they conflate popularity with proficiency. As an example, AthleanX gives the absolute WORST fitness content on YouTube, but...

@mvelis15 Honestly just do whatever, but faster

@lazarus_come_forth No worries. I am just trying to make a point here that there’s a limit to how much you can trust any measurement. That’s an entire scientific field

@lazarus_come_forth Oh I don’t know what the reproducibility is. Not sure how I would know. But if the drop in VO2 is something that concerns you I would encourage you to measure it again and see what you learn. You might find out your lungs did not suddenly get worse, for example.

@crosswise If you are really tracking everything well then just wait it out. I’ve had to wait for up to two weeks for my weight to drop after starting a cut. I went cold turkey into a 1000 cal deficit and accumulated water like crazy

@catholic500 He’s complaining about his bench strength, and he’s doing FIVE SETS of bench. I don’t know what the reps distribution looks like, in part because experienced people care about sets more than reps. The last program I did had me doing 25 sets of HEAVY barbell pressing movements per...

@lazarus_come_forth And you aren’t even a bit curious to know how that might affect your assessment of your metabolism?

@catholic500 That is not a lot of volume. There is almost no pushing volume, either. He’s just doing 3 sets of bench and some triceps extensions

@scott2511 Yeah unfortunately online fitness communities are based on misinformation. Personally I learnt from strong people instead of from blog posts and never had any issue. What we’re you doing wrong?

@lazarus_come_forth Out of curiosity, what do you estimate the reproducibility of VO2 measurements to be at?
