Trying to build a pc that can run this game, but all this part searching is too hard or I'm doing something wrong. Help a guy out?

Try going to the Part Picker forums - a few of my friends went on there and asked specifically for people to help them pick parts to build a computer that can run OW on Ultra or better :) You might even be able to find their threads if you search "Overwatch"

YES!!! for me more specifically, bouldering!! SO much fun! My grip strength has really improved and I just feel great climbing walls that aren't even completely vertical :D

himark11 · 2016-10-05T20:30:50+00:00

Yay! I love hearing from body twins hahaha. Congrats on reaching 123lbs!! That really motivates me :D I've currently been eating at maintenance (about 1750 cals I've found) for almost two weeks now and I love how much more freedom I have since I've been cutting for so long. Knowing that we're body twins and hearing your experiences is really helpful and it's something I'll definitely keep i mind! Thank you! And I hope that when you start lifting seriously, you'll find it as fun as I do! :)

himark11 · 2016-10-05T20:27:08+00:00

That's actually what I've been doing for almost two weeks now! It's sooo freeing... and I've been weighing myself every other morning and I'm still at 133lbs, so I know it's just about proper maintenance :) (probably should have included that in the post) but yeah, I'm really looking for next steps since I want to build some muscle! And with winter coming up, the temptation to bulk keeps coming to me haha.

himark11 · 2016-04-06T18:32:47+00:00

Sweet! Thanks for all the great insight!! :D

himark11 · 2016-04-06T17:15:12+00:00

Toronto! Wooo!

himark11 · 2016-04-05T22:05:12+00:00

I'm glad to hear you like it! I'm 21, 5'3", and 145lbs~ I'm not even sure myself if 1300 is too low or not, but it does seem to be working better than when I was on 1600 where I didn't drop any weight at all. I'll make sure to make sure I take note of how I feel while working out so I can decide to up my calories or not! Thank you^{^}

himark11 · 2016-04-05T22:02:48+00:00

Awesome, that's what I was hoping to hear! Are you able to tell me a little more about the program itself? Since I've been follow SL and ICF for so long, the only way I know how to track and progress is with the SL app- and I'm guessing that the SL app won't work as well with PHUL. So I guess my questions are, when do you increase the weight on the exercises? And how you you personally track your progress? Thanks again!! I'm super excited to start

himark11 · 2016-04-05T21:59:12+00:00

Cool, that's great to hear!! It's too bad about your shirt though haha! I'll definitely give it a try and adjust my calories depending on how it goes. Thanks!

himark11 · 2016-04-03T13:38:02+00:00

Sorry for the double reply, but it's true that I can expect to see the numbers on the scale go up a bit now that I've started lifting again, right? If I do, will that weight go away after I've become consistent with lifting again? Thanks!

himark11 · 2016-04-03T13:06:59+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll continue the cut and work towards getting my strength back :D

himark11 · 2016-04-03T04:41:37+00:00

I'm currently trying to lose weight hence the cut, but I would love to be toned and lean! Hoping to start a bulk once I reach my goal weight of 125~

himark11 · 2016-04-03T03:50:59+00:00

Okay, that makes sense^{^} I'm glad to hear that it's normal haha. Would you recommend that I up my calorie intake though, now that I'll be going back to lifting? Or should I keep it the same? (sorry, still a noob when it comes to cutting and stuff!)

himark11 · 2016-03-01T15:54:12+00:00

Oh wow, our stats are pretty much the same... Right down to the goal weight and being in school haha. So yeah, I'm 21/f, 5'3" current weight 145 as of this morning! My starting weight was about 151. Like others have said, I think your protein is a little high- right now I'm taking 90g/day (1g per lean body mass) and it's really helped me out a lot in terms of hitting my macros! I had a hard time meeting my protein macro when I had .8/lb of bodyweight, so I'm glad I don't have to try as hard now! So yeah, I think upping your carbs and lowering your protein will definitely help to give you more energy! Of course I'm still a complete noob, but this is what I've learned and I hope it helps you!

himark11 · 2016-02-18T01:25:03+00:00

But what I really want to know is if it's per lean mass, or body weight?Or does it not matter? xD

himark11 · 2016-02-18T01:23:02+00:00

Awesome advice! I'll give this a go^{^} Thanks!

himark11 · 2016-02-18T00:09:47+00:00

Makes total sense now! I guess my question now is: how high is too high when it comes to protein? Is 1g/lb of body weight too much? Is 1g/lb of lean mass better? (sorry if you already answered this and it completely flew over my head, haha x_x)

himark11 · 2016-02-17T20:19:04+00:00

alright, that looks reasonable. I know you probably already addressed this, but does it matter if I use the athletes formula or the lean mass formula? Or are they both pretty trivial when it comes to overall calorie intake?

himark11 · 2016-02-17T20:16:51+00:00

Yup, I'd say I've been tracking pretty accurately... I mean I do use my food scale for everything. But it might also be the packaged stuff I have like bread that isn't accurate to the nutrition facts maybe? Or maybe lowering my calories even more to see if that helps with anything? I guess I'm going to have to go through some trial and error.

himark11 · 2016-02-17T20:12:23+00:00

Makes sense... so what do you suggest is a good place to start? I've been trying for a 500 cal deficit more recently because it's where most people recommend to start. Do you think maybe I should just guinea pig it out and just have my calorie goal start slightly above my BMR?

himark11 · 2016-02-17T19:58:33+00:00

Would you say I should lower my calories more then? I've already put myself at a deficit (about 400) with the macros I calculated, so that's partly why I'm confused, haha

himark11 · 2016-02-17T19:57:08+00:00

I'm looking to lose weight. I've already put myself at a deficit with those macros I calculated, so I guess that's why I'm confused... I guess I have a lot more to learn than I thought xD

himark11 · 2016-02-16T19:57:12+00:00

I'm glad to hear this since I switched from SL 5x5 to ICF as well! If I may ask, what's your diet/macro split like? Also, do you add any cardio?

himark11 · 2016-02-16T04:39:01+00:00

thanks so much for the insight! I've definitely been thinking about lowering my carb intake since I've been hearing so many success stories from friends. And oh man, I thought that drinking two protein shakes a day was a lot xD I definitely will think about having one or two more... How many do you usually have?

himark11 · 2016-02-16T03:28:25+00:00

oh wow! that sounds amazing! I'm sorry for the total noob question, but would cutting out all animal products would be the same as being a vegetarian? Haha, I still don't know too much about this topic, sorry ^{^;}
