@rainbowcookiemonster Chicken breast is cheaper than boneless chicken thighs for you, or is there no boneless chicken thigh? You can also take the weight of a chicken leg, trim one off the bone and reweigh it and you’ll get a good estimate for how much actual protein is in a kg of chicken leg...

@lauren19m Whey is generally more expensive than chicken legs, unless you buy the cheapest whey.

@thepinkpreacher It’s harder to get an estimate of LBM when you’re obese, that’s why the rule of thumb exists. If you’re 5’6, new to lifting, and over 200 lbs, it’s hard to know if you’re at 40% body fat or 25%. If you’re only 5’8 170 lbs, it’s pretty easy to tell if you’re 10%, 15%, or 20%...

@zorah654 Got some sauce for that spicy fact?

@knightforsalvation That was after the shift in philosophy from 1g per lb 10 years ago.

@shiningstar89 You don’t have to, but you’re just leaving gains on the table when you do so. I used to lift with a guy who was vegan. He lived mainly off soy and lentils. We started off similarly - skinny fat 150 lb kids - but he plateau’d entirely about 6 months in. He started eating chicken...

@dawn16 1g/lb is more than what research suggests is necessary, but eating more won't have any negative effects.

@josipa The biggest change I’ve noticed is I randomly get joint issues in my 30s that I never had to worry about in my 20s. Even taking my workouts easy didn’t guarantee that I’d be free of random rotator cuff issues. Then again I have a family history of early onset arthritis so YMMV

@gworden Alright boys throw your natty cards over here -> 🗑️

@hteezy You started lifting with a 105kg bench?

@quilbilly I suck at controlling my diet nowadays so I just work out to compensate. As I’ve gotten fatter and fatter people have been telling me I’ve lost weight 🤷 Yeah I have a beer belly but I can knock out 12 pull ups at a moment’s notice which is 12 more than I did when I was skinny and...

@confusedfather111 Almost all rings are made for indoor use.

@martina777 I have sleep apnea when my weight goes in the 200s, it disappears entirely when I drop below 200. That’s probably a big factor.

@daveris Genetics play a big part of determining your base strength. I started training as a skinny fat kid weighing 160 at 5’10 and I couldn’t even dead hang on the bar, let alone do a single pull up, took me about 3 months to get to my first unassisted one rep chin up. Throughout college, I...
