@sharkbait13 I put together my own program by thinking about fundamental movements. So thinking about jumping with extension led to throwing a slam ball backwards, explosively from a crouch. Or thinking about hip flexion, and twisting to do a sledgehammer. Triple extension led me to picking up a...

@nanathalieee It's not a well-studied issue--the overwhelming amount of research is on higher/high vs media protein intake w/ resistance training. The only study I'm familiar with was for physique athletes: basically the low protein group gained strength, but less muscle and lost less fat...

@amorfati It's all sets. Target sets are 4-6: if you exceed, weight goes up going forward; if you fail to hit 4 sets, weight goes down. But yes, the general idea is to regulate the program to match what you experience. So far, so good.

@nowhereman Actual bodyweight.

@nowhereman This review of the literature on protein intake for hypertrophy from 2018 found:

@scarfo Oh Noes--it's Greg Nuckols himself! Hope I did not butcher describing this.

As part of a shift to more to hypertrophy training, I decided to get Average to Savage 2.0 from Greg Nuckols (strongerbyscience.com). I really value an evidence-based approach to training that reflects current research literature, and so I figured it was worth $5. So far I am really digging...

@shneider177 So glad you've gotten fitter. In terms of strength, you're experiencing what all lifters experience eventually: you've exhausted your novice gains and can no longer get stronger in a linear fashion. If you want to get stronger you will need to program. Here's a great, very clear...

@honeysuckledreams Just stop over eating. That’s gonna be about 80% of it.

@bjlytle7 Who here is qualified to give you medical advice on your sodium levels? C'mon. Fitness cures a lot of ills, and as long as you don't have a medical prohibition, is likely the right move. Suggest talking to your doctor about sodium, and then independent of that, get physically fit...

@lauds That is progress--nice work!

@nubchai I think trying to guess TDEE is a fool's errand. If I want to gain weight I eat a little more/if I want to lose weight I eat a little less, and see how it goes over 2 week increments.
