I would count to make sure, most people severely overestimate how much they eat

Idk the technical definition, but deload for me is me doing 60% of my usual working weight for a week.
Gets me rested, but I don't have to take a week off from the gym. I'm going to start doing it every 3 months.
Got rid of a lot of snap action in my shoulders, and wrist.

at work, damn near everything I search gets filtered, but niketalk is safe somehow, figured it'd be easier to just ask.

I see..
I was hoping it had something to do with a diet
I've read mixed things about having a cheat meal once every two weeks to spike your metabolism.
Iono, thanks for the info fellas.

Anybody looked into the Fitbit Force bracelet? supposedly a challenger to the Fuelband. Also tracks your sleep and quality of sleep (don't know how) and wakes you up with a slight vibration. Apparently a software update is in the works where you'll be able to receive calls on it via bluetooth 4.0.

the amiigo band will be the truth in terms of fitness tracking if it can deliver on 1/10th of its promises and finish production. check it out.

No band or anything like will ever be accurate in telling you how many calories you burn.

awesome leg day. put up 405 on the squat, 2 sets at 6 reps, assisted on the last two in the 2nd set. Did my other leg stuff, then finished with standing calf raise machine. pyramided up to 395. managed that for 3 sets of 8-9. been cooking my legs twice a week, I'm taking away all options for them, they'll have no choice but to grow.

guys,
i want to start Bill Starr's 5x5 workout Monday morning. supposed to me really good for increasing strength and whatnot. anyway, i downloaded the excel sheet for the program and let's say my 5 rep bench max is 170 lbs. is it correct that it's saying that my bench reps should be 5x95, 5x110, 5x125, 5x145, and 5x160 on the first day? i feel like i should be doing 5x170 for the last set on the first day since it's my 5 rep max. instead, i'm not doing 5x170 until the 4th week and by the 9th week i'm doing 5x197.
don't know if anyone knows what i'm talking about, but hopefully someone does.
