There are starchy and non starchy vegetables. Which starchy vegetables are you referring to? You should eat the bulk around training and spread the...

Yes. Lots of carbs before lifting helps. Lots of carbs help in general. Seems rather obvious..

You are welcome

You are underweight and weak and you have not been training you have been exercising for the last 7 years. Now you are training and you need to eat...

We have all been there. But yes, do not sandbag your deadlift. It should be 50-100 ahead of your squat at this stage.

Your squat and deadlift are not both 175 lb. Your deadlift is likely 225-245 and you should be jumping it quickly. Stop that nonsense. The macros are...

Why the BUT? You are supposed to use our techniques. Yes you can eat a high carb diet, train, gain muscle and not balloon back up to 450 lb.

Do you really think that eating 300 g/d carbs and 150 g/d fat instead of this silly, and likely inconsistent, 40 g/d carbohydrate is going to get you...

Nice job on the weight loss. To answer your question: Calorie Needs for Barbell Training | Robert Santana

Your suspicions are correct. Start with carbohydrate then add back fat. Protein should already be high and sufficient.

You are going to need to. Protein is useless if you aren't eating enough carbohydrates

Yes, restricting fat is hard and so is getting strong. We have a saying about easy around here....

Yes. You have to deal with that pain to make meaningful progress.

How many calories are you eating now? What are your macros now?

Then be stubborn on the fat. Has your deadlift progressed?

I am neither 50 nor do I take testosterone but most guys I know in your position report good things. Up to you if you want to try it again. High SHBG...

Have you hired Will yet?

Excellent choice. Instant rice is my go to

Are you missing reps? My suggestion is try and lift what you can under the shitty circumstances and undulate the loads accordingly. Your program may...

If anyone gets anything from me I hope it is from my deadlift material. We have an epidemic of deadlift bailers that need to be dealt with.

You are welcome Mike. Glad you are enjoying the content KShedd. I am back to writing after having writer's block for most of last year.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

Lots of rice, instant mashed potatoes (or real ones), corn and easy to put down foods like that. Milk helps too if you can tolerate it. Cereal if you...

I think that you should not cut into a meet and you should train at the top end of your weight range, cut sodium the week before, and that should be...

He's going to have to find that motivation on his own unfortunately. Just hang out with him and show him your own progress and hope that it sparks...

A) Not necessarily no. Are you still making your lifts? B) No need to consult a doctor C) You may or may not keep dropping it depends on how much...

Beer is probably closer to a fat since alcohol has 7 calories per gram. It is it's own nutrient though so none of this "beer is carbs" nonsense haha....

Funny how that works isn't it? Glad you saw the light. Autoimmune diseases make it difficult but not impossible. You'll get into a good rhythm in...
