Is upright row a bad exercise?
If so what's a good substitute for upright row?
OK Form Check again please.
Here is a view form the front. This is just asking if what I am doing is actually a low bar squat.
Low bar position
This is 210 lb squat for five reps
Squat 210lb
I think I may stil be descending too quickly?
Bench 140lb
Last is my deadlift. 305lb. I won't lie it was tough. I think my butt it still lifting a little before the pull no?
Deadlift 305lb
Feel free to pass down the knowledge O' great FitGAF lords.

Ah well, yes, for Leeness it would be good to check it with a scale at least for couple days.Definitely, there's more than one approach, and results and preferences will vary for each person. But since Leeness seems to be using calorie counting, we might as well help her make the method as robust as possible.
That's essentially why I track too. I want sufficient protein, and a general idea of how much I'm eating. Currently, I'm not really trying to change my weight. I need to think about where I want to go in the near future.
I take magnesium on daily basis to keep my calves at bay. Like someone mentioned it really helps.I know it's better. I didn't mean it like that, but it was like...it was super frustrating when nothing worked and it was like "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME" and apparently nothing and it was like...I'm just meant to be fat I guess. :/ I kind of wanted a "well this is why" answer. But I know it's better to just be healthy.
I'm glad your blood work is going well
Huh. I'm going to start using my little kitchen scale more then. The cups are just the default setting in MFP but I will look more into it and look at grams and such instead.
Thank you!
On another note, one of my calves like...seized up in the middle of the night no work out today except maybe some stretching and yoga.
Back day!
Form check repost.
yesterday I had back day and broke a DL PR, the only lift I still have to get above an "intermediate" level.
I think you have the same pants in color orange, am I right? they look so comfortable. WANT
Back day!
what kind/color did you get?

- Your bench press video link is the same as the squat video link.
- It was mentioned about your last squat video, you're still going lower than you're supposed to. Your lower back rounds at the bottom. This video might be helpful in determining what's your ideal squat depth.- You should look into fixing your deadlift setup. I did link you two videos via PM last time to see if they helps; additionally, watch Brolic's video suggestions with JL Holdsworth's deadlift setup and the "so you think you can deadlift" series. Hips still rising first. I'm just guessing your hips are lower than it should be when setting up. Record your deadlifts using the advice in the videos and see if the problem is still occurring.I'm actually now reworking my HB squat to not squat as deep as I currently am because I'm getting tailbone discomfort and/or pain which may be from squatting deeper than I should be and/or my glutes are really tight.
Ah well, yes, for Leeness it would be good to check it with a scale at least for couple days.
Also because of this discussion I ended up weighting all what I eat. I did my normal meals couple times and scaled them on each time and took the average of the weights I got. They were actually surprisingly consistent and generally quite much the same every time.
So this is all I eat on daily basis. I added also my used cheats and gym days' foods. What do you darlings think of this?
I am a female, height is 5'6 / 168 cm. In one week my workout consists 2 x gym, 2 x jogging 45 mins, 1 x pilates. I am trying to lose fat, get my back in better condition and maintain my muscle mass.
I have been eating like this nearly the last 3 months. This far I have lost 10 cm / 4 inches from the waist and around 8 kg / 17 lbs. Not a struggle at all to maintain this diet and I do think it is more delicious than the crap that I used to eat.

And honestly, you are not fat. You might want to be more toned and fit than you are at the moment, but nobody except you would call yourself fat.
Oh and Cooter, looking awesome!
Leeness, I'm making that Asian roast from that receipe you posted a while back. Place smells delicious. Can't wait to eat it.
Looking like a statue sculpted by Bertel Thorvald himself!

So basically, I'm taking Whey post-workout and sometimes for breakfast. I take the Xtend BCAA intra-workout as well. What is creatine and is it something I should add to my regime now (at age 19)? I hear so many good and bad things about it that I don't know. I know it retains water in your muscles, so when I'm old enough to retire, would creatine cause my muscles to become saggy? Basically, should I take creatine or not?
Thanks brahs
This is awesome thanks for sharing! I was familiar with the Lion monument but did not know it was his work, fascinating.He was a world reknown sculptor from from Denmark during the late 1700-mid 1800. Famous for his craftsmanship. Usually depicting mythological figures.
This thread does it all. We even delve into 18th century art history! Cool stuff. Thanks.Oh, sorry. Didn't mean it to be confusing and ambiguous. He was a world reknown sculptor from from Denmark during the late 1700-mid 1800. Famous for his craftsmanship. Usually depicting mythological figures.

Goddamn...
The way he did it without even really struggling makes it hard to believe that that was over 900 lbs. Dude is a beast.
