I tried it.... Didn't like it. Mostly because I've been using Lose it! For a long time now. MFP has better database though!

Thanks Mick... Tango, I'm probably a mutant when it comes to pull up's. But hanging of a training board (in the past) really helped, I'm sure. I haven't climbed since the spring, preferring instead to put that energy into lifting. The weigh in's are a compulsion for sure. I understand the...

Weight, 157.2lbs (-0.4lbs) No change from yesterday.

When I hit a new 1rm, no what if I'm in 15's or 10's or 5's, it tells me... Then I know I've hit a new high for that cycle. I have two more exercise days (each for upper and lower) left on my 10's. If I make the 5lbs increment each time I'll hit new PR's for 10's. (shrugs are increasing by...

I need to find a belt/chain... Been using my backpack, worn backwards on my chest... But 70lbs in it on my 5rm pull up's is pushing it... I don't wanna ruin a good bag! Works well with dips... Worn on the back, helps give a nice forward lean to target the chest. But 30lbs is all I can manage...

Newb-gun! Lol

Ouch, Jester! Sounds like some pretty bad blood with you and rihad....

Where were you and this forum 3 years ago! Meh... Onward and upward! Lol

Thanks... I'm still downing at least 3l of water a day... Should I expect still water weight gain? Okay, if I jump up 4 or 5lbs,i won't freak out, seeing as my intake is a constantly moving (upwards) target. I'm a Canadian and a tradesman,... I'm fully aware of imperial conversion ;) I think I...

I guess, having lots of lean mass is "expensive" for the body to carry around, in terms of energy. I can see how it would be harder to maintain during a cut. I've used a couple of online formulas and some apps... I wouldn't consider myself high activity. I'm not working but going to school...

Good to hear... I was worried I was "burning up" my newbie phase without getting significant growth, making it even harder to gain down the road.

Can we find a different term besides newbie? Lol. I have been lifting for 3 years now :P Novice perhaps... Or rookie! Lol

I hear ya... Curious to see where I am in the morning. I suspect I should see a gain... I'm actually almost 45 years old and workout 6 days a week. ;)

2200 is what I thought my maintenance was at...

Prior to this week, I was eating 2500 calories (up from 2100-2200) and was still losing weight. Starting this past weekend, I'm up to 3000. I lost weight over the last 3 days, but I think it's too soon to make a judgement. I gotta be close! I've been trying to put on 1lbs per week now.

Took a good thing and brought it up to speed... The lean gains is almost 10 years old now.

You're the ab master!!

From what I've read, Rihad is a beast when it comes to cutting... He must of been doing something right. While I was on my CBL "maintenance", I actually didn't lose strength and went up on all my lifts while losing fat. Even if I was in a deficit, the strength gains can't be ignored... Well...

I hate to say it,but I had no issues with strength while dropping 10-14lbs of fat...my strength actually went up.

Sounds an aweful lot like CBL! lol
