Don't worry about salt unless your doctor tells you to worry about salt.

Also if you eat too much salt and are even remotely healthy you will notice that you feel like poo poo and will piss it all out in 24-48 hours assuming you drink water (see being remotely healthy)

Weightlifting is cardio though, unless you're taking five minute breaks.

This. Just get done doing some bench presses? Cool, now stop being a baby between sets and do some curls as your rest. You'll loving sweat your tits off.

Is Muscle Milk any good? I've been going with that Balance Muscle Recovery stuff, which is pretty decent and has a really good flavour to it.

I think its the best tasting, but I'm told it has more sugar than the other brands, but I tend to need a little sugar after a good workout.

If my Fitbit is to be believed, a typical hour long session looks like this:

120BPM average, and the lowest points are 100BPM which is twice resting.

because i am blessed with large legs and calves i usually just work some lower body into my routine between upper body stuff

its pretty nice. gently caress doing legs for an entire session.

my calves are pretty wide but they don't pop

Ill climb stairs and do step ups and sprints, but so called "functional strength" is overrated, squats just make my quads really big then I can't wear jeans or sit in an airplane seat. it's hard enough fitting in there with my meager lats.

I quit at 895 because I felt lovely being large. Maybe I can work hard and do it while weighing under 200 lbs. Or I'll just chill and wear some fine slacks.

I'm 188 and the internet tells me I can do it based on my 5rm but I don't believe it. I haven't really gained any weight in a while.

I am fat tho

I was 223 at the time. I've held those individual maxes at under 200 but never all three at the same time. I was really training for swole at that weight though and not so much strength directly.

Sorriest squat day. :(

Warmup goes fine, rack my working weight, squat down and can't get out of the hole. Unload and rerack it, try again, still stuck in the hole. Take 10 lbs off, no good. Another 10. Another. And another. Finally managed to do 1 rep at the same weight I did a set of 3 just last week. No change in my program, diet, or weight. The only thing I can point to is that I had a 2 hour nap before gym time and maybe I wasn't alert enough.

Had a deload scheduled for next week anyway, but still very discouraging.

The only people who care if you can lift 800 lbs vs 1000 lbs is nobody, or maybe other men at the gym

You should have some baseline of strength so your body doesn't negatively affect your life but once you get past that the only reason to go further is because you want to

I bought some scales which supposedly scan your body fat, muscle percentage and bone density. 15.6% body fat and 42% muscle which means I clearly need to lift more. This could descend into some awful numbers watching game.

Buy a measuring tape or fat calipers for a real reading, those fat scales don't work. Mine tells me I'm 27% bf at 197 lbs and 35 inch waist, unless I switch it to athlete mode in which case it tells me I'm 9.6% bf. (I'm actually between 15-17%).
