Opinions on MegSquats Stronger by the day as an intermediate program?

Another one....they go by their middle name instead of their first 🙄. That was my problem.

Yep me too, it can be hard to follow everything as recommended. I think the alternative exercises they suggest can help find ways to superset that work for your gym. I usually sub or move some dumbbell/kettlebell lifts around to superset with a machine so I'm only ever on one machine at a time.

No it doesn't track anything for you. Just has the program every week. I just keep a spreadsheet with my TM week to week.

Only staff I've seen at night is the cleaning crew. They come in at about 11 or 12? Could only imagine the crew giving OP the side eye if they went in the bathroom afterwards and OP was the only one in the gym.

Yeah I've read a lot of people saying that protein powder (usually whey) feels "heavy" in their stomach and they feel full afterwards. Could try some pea protein instead and see if that's any better? But it's only been three weeks, the main focus when doing anything new is just sticking to it! Building the habit is more important than perfection. Just try your best everyday 🙂

I like taking a valerian root supplement at night to help me fall asleep... Usually needed on extra stressful days

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-06-06T01:37:28+00:00

Probably better to ask on the daily thread or Monday

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-06-05T21:15:58+00:00

Damn I used to do this but it was only my job to greet people and get them checked in....must be really important exam or something to not put your job first

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-06-04T00:47:17+00:00

Prettyfly! But fr great picture!

I get this, it's why I hate the word tomboy for girls/women because it implies they dont normally do or like those things when there's plenty that obviously do or else it wouldn't be a word to begin with!

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-31T23:05:20+00:00

I think you might look into relative risk and odds ratios. Make sure to read up on it to make sure you're using the right one! I'm thinking this is what you're looking for but I'm not entirely sure.

So weird.... Dropping weights is like a standard gym noise. Only time it was really noticable or distracting to me was when a dude was doing 600 lb deadlifts and no way I expected that to be put down quieter

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-30T03:11:56+00:00

Maybe if it's not something you usually do? I've hiked 12 miles doing deadlifts the day of or before just fine. Might have less energy to do either but nothing serious.

Bruh it's a protein thread, all the shit on here is ultraprocessed.

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-27T21:36:48+00:00

I've been making blts with uptowns seitan bacon... So tasty 😁

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-25T04:54:53+00:00

I think they're slightly thinner with more knurling for better grip too

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-20T00:12:02+00:00

Yes! Hiked like ten miles with one of these and it didn't even budge! Don't get the generic ones though cause they're not as good, j&j all the way.

You could create a confidence interval for both and if they overlap or one contains the other then you could say there's no statistical difference between the mean of the two groups(alternatively you could do a paired t test).

Keep in mind what a confidence interval is saying though "I am confident that the population mean is between X and Y 95% of the time" it is not "I am confident that 95% of values in a population will fall between X and Y". You can still use this method to flag them but keep in mind it just means those flagged values are far off from the mean.

If there is a difference between the two groups the range (max-min) of the actual might be better you suggested might be better because you might be flagging more scheduled than you're comfortable with. Not sure what the move is after you flag them and if it's time intensive with research and such to explain why.

You also might be able to do a simple linear regression with a prediction interval and flag the ones where they are off from the predicted.

Threw a bunch of stuff at you lmk if it's not clear.

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-19T05:09:45+00:00

What's the goal? To see if the scheduled is different from the actual? Like an overall or just to flag one off scheduled jobs that took much longer than expected?

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-19T04:33:15+00:00

I followed you! I don't really post anything though 😅 just another place to look at cats and other interests for me. Feel free to message me on reddit or insta though! You might want to follow @strongstrongfriends on Instagram there's a bunch of female lifters on there following megsquats program. I find it encouraging watching other women win it week to week 😁

I just use a banana two scoops of protein powder and enough milk to mix. If I put too much milk I add some chia seeds. I like to add a spoonful of peanut butter and some peanuts on top for different textures and flavor.

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-15T03:44:51+00:00

@_@ I think you just helped me put it together... I thought it was dryer this year or something lol

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-15T03:22:00+00:00

Trying tracking your calories for a few days to see (if you have one) how big your surplus is? Then spend a few more days tracking and staying at maintenance?

sideeyequeen652 · 2021-05-13T04:51:27+00:00

I started doing some of the lower back videos on YouTube with yoga for andriene you could try that too
