I don't know who that is.


However, you are already on target. Are your TDEE numbers configured to reflect exercise? Or without? On non training days you need FAR fewer carbs than on training days. Also, on training days, more protein is required. Total calories on training days should be increased (obviously).

That being said, assuming you are ~2800 cals when TDEE is 3144, you will see a slow cut occur, which is optimal.

Exactly what you said in reference to carbs. Manipulate them ONLY in order to achieve more cutting. Fat/Protein need not be reduced in favor of carbs. Keep up the good work!


To the disbelievers who say all macros are equal when cutting, please attempt a 10/80/10 of p/c/f with 500 less calories than your TDEE and lets see how that works out.

Lightman is your arch enemy. He basically disagrees with nearly everything you say and basically believes most of your methods are old school and are not backed by scientific evidence, and he is a firm believer in iifym. He also hates on you for never uploading new pictures assuming you've gotten really fat or scrawny. Lightman hates you and you should hate Lightman.

You are quite the topic for some people in our forum, lol.

Awesome thank you!
would alternating between your suggested rep scheme and heavier lifts with very little rest in between each set also be beneficial?

Almo

Almost immediately after seeing this I biked and swam yesterday. No pain. Just got back from running and there was slight pain. No where near as much. Unsure  if it was just lingering pain or somethin else. Do you recommend getting an x ray or getting it checked out?

Of the three things you posted about what it could be i know obviously shin splints arent serious. But how serious are the other two? I've had fractures before but never a stress fracture that i know of. And from what i googled about compartment syndrome it could be anything from next-to-nothing to being very serious and needing my leg cut off if it worsens.

So im unsure what to think.

I highly doubt lightman has much of any feelings for Raynor.

It can't hurt to get it x-rayed, which at the least will give you closure.

At this point, continue what we discussed and you should be good to go.


If the xray reveals any type of fracture, you will need to see an orthopedist.
