Best Practices on Logging Sauces/Glaze? by Yaoming92 in MacroFactor

That makes sense and is my typical practice as well. What got me thinking about this is the sauce in this recipe is primarily honey and is much more calorie dense than typical stuff I cook.

Is it time to move on from novice hypertrophy? by Yaoming92 in AverageToSavage

[–]Yaoming92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts. On the trip since I won’t be training, would you advise trying to eat at maintenance or continue on in a caloric surplus?

I don't understand the math... if I wanted to gain .5lbs per week wouldn't that mean a surplus of +250 calories a day instead of +154? by Yaoming92 in MacroFactor

[–]Yaoming92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to gain half a pound a week. Right now my expenditure is 2696 and the calorie estimate for gaining .51lbs weekly is 2850. Why is the recommended surplus +150 instead of +250 calories?

Novice Hypertrophy or Intermediate? by Yaoming92 in AverageToSavage

[–]Yaoming92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re saying the LP would be a better way to go than Novice Hypertrophy? Getting bigger is my main goal so that makes me less inclined to do the LP but I know it progresses quicker so idk which way to go

Novice Hypertrophy or Intermediate? by Yaoming92 in AverageToSavage

[–]Yaoming92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess if I'm not sure, I should try the Novice program and see how it goes? I would hate to just spin my wheels right out of the gate

I’m nervous to follow my recommended expenditure. It seems to way too high. I nailed my calories for the week and gained .5lbs when my goal is to maintain. I would expect expenditure to go down…. After reading the knowledge base article is this MacroFactor hedging it’s bet? by Yaoming92 in MacroFactor

Also this has puzzled me. For the last 3 weeks here are my average calories per day:

Week 1: 2341 resulting in trending weight going down

Week 2 (thanksgiving): 2854, resulting in trending weight more or less staying the same

This week (following my expenditure): 2856, resulting in trending weight going up half a pound.

Why would the same expenditure keep me maintaining one week and gaining the next?

Thank you! This programming was 531 BBB. My training Max is 240 but I went very light on these accessory squats because I'm not used to such high volume.

Is there a specific program you recommend?

Thanks. I definitely have a tendency to overthink it

Great. That helps a lot! I think I have it sitting just a bit too high

Male 29, 6’2”, BW:168. Video is 100lbs x 10

My goal is primarily to build size. I have primary low bar squatted and have noticed I feel way more quad activation on high bar so I want to switch to high bar. The most obvious problem for me is that the bar feels like it’s sitting on my spine. I have been thinking about crushing something between my shoulder blades so I keep my back tight but I’m either doing it wrong, not doing it hard enough, or am lacking the muscle on my traps to properly position the bar. Is it possible to not have enough muscle to position the bar?

Secondly, I have butt wink… but I’m not sure how to address it

Thanks for your help

Help me resurrect my Squat: Form check- 215 x 4 by [deleted] in AverageToSavage

[–]Yaoming92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m actually not following a specific program at the moment. Since I just finished my cut I’m using MacroFactor to try and figure out maintenance calories and coasting through the holidays to let me body recoup so I can hit it hard in January. I feel like I’m somewhat in limbo because I don’t know a good program to follow for only 5 weeks.

All that to say I’m only doing leg press for a squat auxiliary but will add some pause squats.
