The deadlift is the perfect pull exercise and lowering the bar in a controlled manner is just as important as lifting it in a controlled manner.

I have a scoop everyday with water, usually after lunch. I do it to save time in the mornings.

I have thought about Metamucil usage.

I don't know a tonne about it, what are the advantages you see?

Is there a non-Olympic lift where not controlling the recovery is acceptable?

Worst part of trying to get healthier has been no beer for the last week. Thinking of allllll those empty calories I haven't had though is motivating

It is required to drop the clean, I believe.

What happened to Richard Simmons? He has gone missing from the public eye.

The podcast Missing Richard Simmons recently became a cultural sensation. Created by Dan Taberski, a producer at The Daily Show and self-described former friend of Simmons, it framed the fitness guru’s decision to retire from public life — around February of 2014 — as a mystery

The real reason is that the eccentric part of the lift delays recovery. You can lift every day and gain strength and size faster that way.

Where's the science for this? Interested to see.

fiber, lots of fiber, cleans your pipes, like a slower more methodic colon blow concoction.

they claim it lowers cholesterol, but who knows.

I'm just on my phone but it's pretty simple. Imagine a biceps curl. Starting from close to the bottom and curling up is a concentric motion. It does not tear the muscle fibers or cause any soreness. But it does increase strength. And you can do that motion every day so you gain quickly. Lowering the weight in a biceps curl is an eccentric motion and like pulling a rubber band apart will lead to the small tears that cause soreness. That you must rest to recover from. Deadlifting is comprised of both as are most compound movements. Lifting is concentric whole lowering is eccentric. Lifting lighter weight more often in concentric lifts is what most heavy lifters are doing now to gain size and strength.

And his appearances on Howard Stern were also amazing (for the exact opposite reason).

I think in english is that the lift is sometimes considered the important part of the work and returning to the ground isn't as important, and so why tire yourself out? Some places with the correct floor allow you to drop the weight. I usually don't drop it but don't go for max weights either, at least not in years.

I seem fine lowering it to the ground, just be cautious with how you do the work, maybe get someone to watch for a few sets till you get it.

So I've started tracking my macros to try to be a little more efficient at still building a bit of.muscle while losing weight. Holy hell, hitting even my modest target of 150g of protein is no joke. I'm basically having to plan all my meals around at least 1 major protein source to even come close.

I track and aim for around 160-180 g/day.
Meat, eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, greek yogurt & protein shakes for the most part.
It is difficult, I can't image getting there without suppliments.
Making sure every meal has a good amount of protein is a must I find.
Adding whey & collagen scoops to my morning oatmeal is my favorite meal. Same breakfast every day and I love it.

No. Arg. If you dont get it look it up. Concentric Only Training. There are several reasons for it. Less chance of injury is one. Engaging a different metabolic process and different muscle fibers is the main reason. You can lift more and more often with COT. Here's a link that dumbs it down a bit.

My favorite meal is breakfast also I make a shake though after my weights its whey protien, creatine, egg whites, banana, cucumber and spinach and skim milk macro count is 437 calories 43 percent carbs (47g) 5 percent fat (2g) and 52 percent protien (56g) I eat more fat through out the day but I heard to break a fast it is either carbs or fat not both

Can't you disagree respectfully?

I’ve found out I’m lactose intolerant, which makes conventional whey protein a no-go. Anyone have experience with any good plant-based protein powders or lactose-free whey isolates that can be mixed with water at work?
