    32/M, I’ve done it, I’ve lost 70 pounds, what’s next?

    @littleg6 Come on now, no one is going to get all of those from a single food source, let alone cheese ffs. There are plenty of foods that have protein and fiber, such as legumes and whole grains. Also on a 2,000 calorie diet, there is still 1,375 calories. I am done discussing this now...

    32/M, I’ve done it, I’ve lost 70 pounds, what’s next?

    @littleg6 Either you are being intellectually dishonest or you genuinely assume his daily total calories are less than 1000, if you think the added protein is going to rob him of fiber and micro nutrients. 156 grams of protein is is only 625 calories. Where the hell are the rest of the...

    32/M, I’ve done it, I’ve lost 70 pounds, what’s next?

    @littleg6 Funny how you chose to ignore the fact that I used a range from .8g per lb (which is not bro science and I am happy to site sources). Everyone is focusing on the 1g. The reason why I recommend upwards of 1g is NOT because more protein is going to build more muscle but because protein...

    32/M, I’ve done it, I’ve lost 70 pounds, what’s next?

    @victorray I recommend a range not a precise number. For OP, .8-1 is 156-195 g of protein per day. Why are you fixated on the end range? I recommend this range because studies show that you can keep making better gains upwards of .82 grams per lb of bodyweight. added protein after that aids...

    32/M, I’ve done it, I’ve lost 70 pounds, what’s next?

    @losebell1992 No added benefits to muscle building beyond .82 g per lb of bodyweight, but as someone who has helped many people achieve transformations, I can tell you that the added protein helps keep you full longer. Many people fail with diets because they overestimate their protein intake...

    Tips from experience: how I ended years of stagnation

    @yueba My bodyweight is 77kg at the moment. That’s 170lbs. Using “my” recommendation of 1.6-2.2 grams per kg of body weight, that yields a range of 123 - 167 grams of protein per day. Using your recommendation of 0.8-0.9, that’s 136-153. I don’t dispute the research at all, and I am up to...

    32/M, I’ve done it, I’ve lost 70 pounds, what’s next?

    @bpplee Congrats on the progress. Whatever you do from here, make sure you: do resistance training 3-5 times a week. Focus on getting better at the major compound movements: pull-ups, rows, incline press, flat press, squat, rdl. Don’t overdo volume, but push close to failure. track your...

    @setst777 I won’t think someone is a prick just because they disagree with me. You’re polite, and you’re coming from a good place. And you’re right, it’s not a must for everyone — BUT longer rest has been shown to be more beneficial for strength and muscle. Source: Brad J Schoenfeld et al. J...

    Tips from experience: how I ended years of stagnation

    @uetuu There’s a bunch of high protein foods and I suspect you know what they are (fish, poultry, red meat, dairy, etc). The key is in meal prepping. If you have the dough, order from a meal service provider. If you don’t, you have to prioritize making food. Build that into your routine. It’s...

    Tips from experience: how I ended years of stagnation

    @lsatschristianprayer Hell yeah! 700-750 kcal deficit is what I would do in an aggressive fat loss sprint. It’s a lot, I know… but you know that it’s for a short period of time, so you can mentally prepare to battle. Also, the scale moves nearly on a day-by-day basis, and visual results start...

    Tips from experience: how I ended years of stagnation

    @lsatschristianprayer I deal with sleep maintenance issues as well. I convince myself that as long as we’re not up for prolonged periods of time, that it’s ok! I tend to wake up between sleep cycles, but can manage to fall back asleep within minutes most of the time. As for what to do in your...

    @tholmes12 That’s awesome, congrats on the progress! It’s amazing how the basic things have such an impact over the long run. Sticking to a program was arguably the hardest thing for me, mainly because I would hop from bodybuilding style training to powerlifting style training. I’d get so...

    @sehnsucht9 Fair enough. As long as you have a system and you stick to it, more power to you!

    @arrows Btw, 2 things. 1) you’re not married to any specific exercise. If you keep running into walls on one of them, try another variation — there are many great horizontal pressing variations! 2) not all workouts are great workouts. That’s OK! Don’t misunderstand me and have these unrealistic...
