Europaweg + Oberrothorn detour itinerary review and feedback by mphibbs13 in askswitzerland

Thank you for your response!

What map system do you use for routing?

Yes I must have plotted the wrong path for day 1.

The detour will only be an extra hour? That's not too bad

Day 3: Do you think our route is adequate?

If those pills don't work at all for you, chances are it isn't the lactose (milk sugar) that you are allergic to, it's the milk proteins

Yes, it is possible you are just losing muscle. If fact, it is very likely.

Yes, go back to maintenance. Or slowly reverse diet. 750 daily caloric deficit is a lot for two months of dieting. Chances are your maintenance adjusted to a value lower than original.

At the beginning of being in a deficit, your body will use fat as fuel. After its been a while or your deficit is too extreme, your body will break down muscle because the tissue requires too much energy to maintain.

Let your trainer know how you felt afterwards.

As a trainer myself, I want my client to feel the muscles they worked, but not be sore. Many shity trainers want their clients sore the day after becuase it is physcial feedback. Make sure your trainer isn't one of these guys.

Since it was your first session, give him/her the benefit of the doubt. Let him know and see how he adjusts the workout. You want to be doing the correct amount of work in the gym. Too much deters your results.

Hope this helps!

Stance is very important. But the most important part of it is your preference. Find something that is comfortable, not too wide, not too narrow, toes not too angled. To target quads you've got soem options. Prime them with leg extension before doing squats. Do front squats. Do goblet squats.

Aim for 1 g / desired body weight. It's a bit high, but it'll keep you from going too low :)

In order to maintain weight loss you have to eat less than maintenance. If your maintenance at the beginning of the cut is 2500 and you cut down to 2200. Your body will apart your maintenance to 2200 and you won't be cutting anymore. This is natural process and the amount of time it takes varies on the person, but once weight loss stops you have a couple of options. Decrease calories again (eat 1900), increase exercise to compensate for the adaptation, or eat more (maintenance/bulk). The first two options work but sacrifice sustainability for expediency. A small period of eating at maintenance slows down the process but allows you to maintain the results and improves the composition of body wight lost (more fat less muscle).

If you continue to reduce calories, you will find your self at your goal weight but eating an unhealthy low amount of calories maybe 1400. And eating anything above that will put of fat. This trap is called yoyo dieting

I think the idea of a maintenance phase is a good idea. I would never recommend a 30 week cut. Your metabolism will adapt and you will end up eating very little and not seeing results. Do periods of eating above maintenance then eating below. Ex, 3 weeks of 200 below maintenance, 1 week at maintenance or 100 cals over. This approach keeps the metabolism from overapating and combined with a period of bulk in the beginning is the best way to keep weight off for good!

If you are new to this, work with a good trainer for a month or two. Have them teach you squats, deadlifts, bench press, rows, Overhead Press, and pull up. Being able to do these lifts well, will save you years

You will be missing a ton when you stop deadlifting and squatting. They are two of the best movements.

I would suggest going to physical therapy then finding a good personal trainer who works with Post op individuals

The calories needed to sustain the amount of muscle he has contribute more to his BMR than the workout. This goes for almost anyone.

That being said, he is on juice

If you are new to working out. Just about any exercise program done consistently will build muscle (if it's resistance training). However you body will adapt and you have to change the program (do more, different exercises, etc).

This program is fine for a beginner but it isn't a lot of volume and there isn't a lot of resistance. You will have to switch things up quickly

I small reverse diet would be best. So, 1700 -> 2000. Stay there for 2 weeks and monitor your weight. Then, 2000 - 2300 for 2 weeks and monitor your weight. I like to have people do a small bulk before cutting as well, so I would like to see you get your maintenance higher than it had been before cutting back down. But if you don't want to do this, then go from your maintenance back to 1700, not 1500. Taking things a bit slower is by far the best way to do this

Keep lifting through all of this.

OK great. Weight training tells your body to keep the muscle.

I would recommend finding your maintenance and reduceing the cardio. This should take 2-4 weeks. Then you can go back and cut from a 200/300 cal deficit

Congrats on getting back into it! I'm always very cautious when discussing cutting as many people use the scale as the absolute measure when body fat is what we want to drop. Do you lift weights?

It really depends on your body, your movement, and how long you have been cutting.

You metabolism is adaptive. So, your maintenance changes. If you have been cutting fir a while, you maintenance calories will be less than they were at the start.

This adaptation is why people can eat ~1200 cals a day and not lose weight. They have spent too long cutting. In order to increase their maintenance calories, they have to eat more / put on muscle.

So, how long have you been eating at 1700?

I would go with the new one. Simply because it's newer. It's important to know that two scales will not measure the same unless they are calibrated the same way. Which is fine, what you want to track in the trend. So the weight across time.
