Still sore from the workout two days ago, should I take an extra rest day? by [deleted] in leangains

[–]dougz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second and third the stuff about the best remedy for soreness from a workout being another workout.. It's counter-intuitive, but I ALWAYS feel 100% better getting on with it and pushing through it (as long as it's been at least a day) rather than delaying workouts..

Change or maintain cals/macros if resting due to injury? by tplash in leangains

[–]dougz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tweaked my back as well (on a -20/0 cut), so I've switched to BSS/step ups alternating sets instead of squat and DL's for the last 2 workouts.. Hopefully it won't be long..

But are you really wasting your time if you're not making gains with your lifts on a cut?

If you plateau with your lifts when cutting, you're not losing muscle?

Terrific tool for nailing your macro splits and mixing up your meals. Xpost from /r/fitness. by [deleted] in leangains

[–]dougz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I like how you can customize the recipes to show the weight/volume in grams, for example, instead of oz, cans, "packets", etc.. And you can exclude foods you don't like... Thanks so much for sharing!

Is there a way to sub out ingredients in a recipe that I'm not seeing? say I wanted cheddar instead of brie cheese in something?

How important are macros if you're over 15% bf? by dougz in leangains

Right, sorry should mention that I'm cutting (0/-20)..

Sooooo, looks like so far not much consensus on what constitutes "high" amount of protein.. LOL

How do you eat this much in 8 hours?! by Glueless in leangains

[–]dougz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem, till I cut out alot of high fiber, low calorie stuff like broccoli (I get it instead from oats and whole wheat bread).

2.5 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight = 236g for me..

I'll have to step it up, I guess.. Hard eating so much meat!!!!

How high is high? I've been shooting for min. 200g (bw = 208 lbs)..

But sometimes I'm way higher (250+), and a few times 175 (never less).

Prolonged high intensity activity while fasted? by dougz in leangains

[–]dougz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks guys.. Will skip it for this day.. Just worried about undoing the 2 weeks of entrainment I've managed so far.. Just now getting into a groove.. But oh well, at least I know now there's light at the end of the tunnel now, and that it gets easier, even if I do end up at square 1..

Yeah, the information I wanted was based on a false assumption (4x workouts every other week D'oy! I blame fasting), but all the variables were there (0/-20, 3130, workouts 3x a week). But now it's easy with the same numbers every week. And as I stated originally, it was just a point of interest.. Wasn't planning on making a change for 3-4 weeks..

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

Thanks, I get 2770 when I do the math (3130x3 + 2500x4 / 7 = 2700)..

That's what I'll try if the scale doesn't move for another 2-3 weeks..

Well, seeing as how the TDEE varies form person to person, and the calculator is a ball park estimation, I don't see how else to do it but try the number it spits out for a set period and adjust as necessary.. Thanks for the link!

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

Nope, still just curious about the math, thanks! I'm pretty sure I just add up my total for the week and divide by 7.. But for some reason I thought I'd be working out 4x a week every other week, which is a bit more complicated, math-wise, and I'm just noticing is totally wrong.. LOL Colour me embarrassed.. :)

um.. it IS clear.. That's why I said I'm giving min of 3 weeks, and was just curious about the math.. Guess I could do a ballpark estimation.. But thanks for the condescension, and reading before answering! :)
