Its not that I didnt eat as much as I normally do I worded it wrong. I ate the same amount but I just didnt space it out like I normally do every 2 to 3 hours. It was more like a big breakfast and lunchOriginally Posted by keepzdasneakz

Brett, I lift by myself so I dont have alot of those #'s. I mostly use dumbells when lifting. I was able to put up 205 for 6 reps when I pyramided flat bench a few weeks back. Not sure what that could equate to for a 5 rep max without prior heavy lifitng.

Grimlock from my studies it's the compound exercises, i.e. the big five I mentioned. That's what I'm doing.
my current >> goal 5rm
bench - 150 - 225
squat - 195 - 275
military - 135 - 185
dead - 225 - 315
row - 135 - 185

Grimlock, I do supersetting:
Day 1: Chest/Back
Day 2: Shoulders/Bi's/Tri's
Day 3: Legs
Repeat
With some helpful advice from posters in this thread I have tweaked things here and there. I pyramid my lifts, whether up or down, and alternate between heavy & light days. The supersetting keeps me active throughout my lift, which is why I enjoy it.
I mix in 4-5 days of cardio, mostly HITT, takes about 20-25 minutes and usually a 20-25 mile bike ride 1 day a week that usually takes place of one of my leg days.

Don't really know the 5 on the dot. Same as Durden, I'd have to do the math, since I don't really powerlift.
Bench: 275 x 6 to 8 reps
Squat: 405 x 5
Deadlift: 495 x 3
Rows: 225 x 10-12
Military Press: 185 x 8-10
Bench: 275 x 6 to 8 reps
Squat: 405 x 5
Deadlift: 495 x 3
Rows: 225 x 10-12
Military Press: 185 x 8-10

i've never done a 5RM max, but based on my 5x5 or 3x5's
bench - 195-205
squat - ~225
deadlift (stiff-legged) - 225-235?
don't do rows, and do dumbbell shoulder presses never at weight for 5 reps.. i've only started getting back into legs which would explain why those numbers aren't as high
btw.. i'm 5'2 , ~130, only supp i take is ON whey protein

Guys I need a little help, I've been using thedailyplate pretty extensively since I've started this carb cycling. According to my macros, even under a watchful eye, I'm still consuming roughly 50% carbs and 34% protein with 16% fat....what are some things i could eat to reduce the carbs? I've only eaten about 950 calories, with just yogurt, a turkey sandwich, protein cereal....seems like its so hard to find anything that'll fill me without carbs in it. Suggestions? I've been eating tilapia and chicken breasts as well with microwaved veggies.

Question regarding "turning fat into muscle"
I've always heard (and assumed) that fat can turn into muscle.
First of all it makes sense.. also frail dudes can't build muscle if
they continue eating at maintenance--but with that being said,
does that work in a situation where someone has excess fat and
is lifting??
Because I came across
http://scoobysworkshop.com/
this site
which is pretty awesome/informative, but
somewhere within (I don't remember where, browse)
it brings up that fat cannot be converted into muscle
any thoughts?

Fat cant be turned into muscle.
You can reduce fat and gain muscle, but the fat isnt converted into muscle.

Never liked it, also when my mom was carrying me she reacted to it because of me.
Still don't like it, plus I think about the poor animals.

I've started looking at all the labels since I want to increase my carbs, tuna and chicken have very little from what I remember.
Also, I'm impressed at your stats for your weight. What did you start at? (lifting stats + body weight)

how's my form.. 51"
and I didn't come in as hot as it looked
i'd say a two step before the hop, which still isn't from a stand still.
