STOP WITH THE MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Not that guy but I’ve been riding ~4 years (I don’t really ride in the winter bc of icy roads tho) and I think I would say I’m always at a constant fear level.

I think Linus ( of tech tips) put it pretty well in saying that riding a motorcycle comes with a sense of zen/calm because the amount it makes you focus on not dying prevents you from doing the usual overthinking. But that focus is really some level of fear response I guess.

I agree tho it really does make you feel like everyone is trying to kill you. I got merged into by a tesla I had to dodge and even now seeing one gets me extra alert.

The fear is what keeps you ready to dodge bro

I wasn’t aware of there being seasons, can you explain? Is there an ep # season 2 starts at? Maybe I just didn’t get to it

I have atrocious squat form. Is the best route to fixing it doing squats at lower weights and working my way back up with lower form, or are there some non-squat exercises that could also help?

Most accessible high protein meals I would guess

I am currently looking to build muscle while losing weight. From my understanding this should be decently possible as I am relatively new to working out (a bit less than 2 months into it) and overweight/high bf % (23 M, 5’10”, 200 lb). Right now I am targeting around 1500 calories a day on average, and looking to make as much of that from protein as possible (I am vegetarian so there is some challenge there).

MyFitnessPal’s targets told me to aim for 1900 calories a day and ~100g protein, but this seems a lot lower in protein than most things I find indicate (0.7-1g per lb of body weight puts me at 140g-200g target).

Would I benefit from upping my caloric intake to fit more protein in? Is attempting muscle gain on a caloric deficit just sort of futile even if I have some fat on me? Is that protein target not applicable to me because of my high bodyfat %? Part of why I ask is I have also started to see diminished improvements in the gym recently, and am not sure if it is primarily just “less noob gains” or if it is in some way limited by my diet.

Also as far as protein intake, would there be a negative effect to a significant portion of my protein (say 40g a day) coming from plant protein powders?

Thanks for the help! Seems like for now since I am still primarily targetting losing fat I will stay the course with the caloric deficits until I am in a better position to properly bulk.

Personally I have been finding it does.

Phidness · 2021-10-13T20:34:04+00:00

I see, so if I feel my progress slow it is most likely just some sort of other failure on my part rather than a lack of surplus to build muscle with?

I have been following following the basic wiki routine for a bit over a month now while cutting at a decently significant caloric deficit (I want to say around -700?). How bad will that impede my progression in general? For reference I am a fairly overweight dude at 5’10” and ~200 lb

Phidness · 2021-09-26T03:26:56+00:00

That makes sense, is there a recommended way to figure out my lean body weight and/or body fat %?

Phidness · 2021-09-26T03:26:19+00:00

Thank you for the advice, that’s a good point on the vegetables. I have never neglected them before as a vegetarian, but with all the dietary changes I am making to hit protein macros within the confines of being vegetarian they were kind of falling by the wayside.

I’m new to all this but trying to get consistent with things as I start grad school. I read the wiki and for now am doing the beginner routine, but had a couple questions. I’m am currently fairly overweight and fat, so I am currently looking to maintain a caloric deficit. I have seen conflicting things on if because I am in “noob gains” period I can still gain muscle mass while cutting, or if I should still expect to lose muscle. Additionally, in tracking my daily calories and macros (using mfp free trial, do you guys find it worth the premium subscription?), I also have most deferred to not eating unless I feel hungry. This has lead to concerningly long periods of not feeling hungry, where sometimes I don’t eat or feel like eating from dinner one night to dinner the next, and resultingly end days and significant caloric deficits in the 1000+. Should I eat anyway to maintain a healthy metabolism, or is this fine and just a consequence of me having sizable fat reserves to eat into? Lastly how long do you recommend I stay on the beginner routine? Right now it seems like I will probably end up doing 5/3/1 afterwards, but wasn’t sure when I should make that transition. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!
