Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

You need to weigh it before you cook it. Weighing after is completely unreliable because we don't know how long you cooked the rice, how much water it absorbed, how much evaporated off, etc.
Your best bet having already cooked the rice is to take some averages from sites like MFP and just log that. And next time weigh food properly.
Kevin Jones
This was answered last thread. I answered it for you. I told you 75g was a good single portion serving, 100g if you wanted more rice. You measure dry as says. Google would have also explained that.
I also then asked what the fuck rice youo bought that it says you need to soak it for 3 hours before cooking, because I have brown rice that takes 45 minutes to cook and IIRC even rice with husks on still takes like an hour max.
Thomas Foster
im not asking how many grams im asking how many calories are there in 1 cup cooked? do i still have ot measure that? my mom usually just cooks in a big bulk so i cant really measure it before and + thats pretty autistic to not gonna lie
Caleb Ramirez
How fucking old are you?
Also note how it fucking says 45g on the fucking bag right there for those calories
You also didn't ask ANYTHING about calories and said "how much". I understand if English is not your first language, but pls
Also measuring you food is not autistic in the slightest
Gabriel Nguyen
Also, Cups are a shit, rough measurement, and of course every fucking cup is a different size, so of course the measurement will be different between cups.
Just get a cheap old fucking scale and measure out the weight.
Also keep in mind rice basically doubles in weight when cooked so if you do 150g of dry rice you're going to end up with 300g+ purely of cooked rice before you even add anything else to it

Why do I love sweets so much? I think I have a sugar addiction, I cannot stay a single day without eating something with loads of sugar, a candy bar, icecream, I don't know. Sometimes I binge eat a ton of sugar at once with soda and shit and totally ruin any plan to eat well, making me progress so much more slowly.
But why the fuck is that? What is my body telling me when I feel the need to intake sugar? Besides just shutting my mouth, is there something I should know to get over this? Are there any substitutes or complimentary foods I could look for or avoid?
Also, what are the dangers of taking too much sugar (at once for example, or through lifetime)?
Matthew Hall
didn't see this thread. could i get a form check? my left hip's been feeling tight for a couple days, especially after these squats. it numbs out if i sit long and hurts a tad bit when i walk
Caleb Morris
You guys told me getting fit would keep my spaghetti in my pockets
Why did you lie?
Bentley Stewart
Just bee urself
Michael Torres
drink juice instead of eating sweets and drinking soda. slowly build down on juice intake as the days go by. replace water with lemon water
Robert Robinson
Abstain. Don’t keep sweets in your home. Fill the void with raspberries and blueberries
Dominic Morris
If i go to the gym 4x a doing PHUL and walk to school and back (20 minutes) 5x a week. should my activity level be sedentry if i spend the rest of the day sitting down? or light exercise?

Nuts are high calorie.

bulk or cut? face is kinda fat but body sucks
Juan Wood
Due to my work schedule I'll only be able to work out four days a week, but the problem is they're consecutive days (I work three days of double shifts in a row and can't manage to work out on those days.) I used to do GSLP and stopped a year ago. Ideally I'd like to get back into that program, but I won't have the rest days in between all the sessions. Should I try to do a ABxAxxx or just do AxBxxxx and deal with the no gains until I'm able to change my work schedule?
Connor Bell

David Cox
Are low bar squats alone good enough a workout for your hamstrings and glutes? What are some alternatives to the deadlift? I'm kinda worried about hurting myself
Carter Murphy
Do four consecutive days if you have to take 3 off anyway
Camden Richardson
Posted in the dead thread:
Skinnyfat bro here on the skinnier side of the spectrum (150 lbs). I'm doing gslp right now and I'm working out consistently.
How do I get over my fear of getting fat and trust that the food I eat will go towards building muscle on a caloric surplus? I'm having trouble getting past this mental block.
Wyatt Roberts
Chance of hurting yourself doing deadlifts is pretty low until you’re doing super heavy lifts
Luke Allen
Bulk, there's nothing there to show off yet.
Austin King
Honestly dude you are gonna get a little bit of fat on you when you overeat, but it's not the end of the world. If you eat only about 500+ your tdee and are lifting weights properly you'll be fine.
Lincoln Thomas
So it's bad to do the same work out every time? And is 24 hrs enough of a rest period?
Joshua Hill

In the long run, yes.
But you're still building.
Nolan Campbell
So i've been doing 3 days weightlifting/3 days running and saturday off. After roughly calculating my daily intake it seems i'll be deficient by quite a bit. Used to work before since I wasn't doing weightlifting and had a more sedentary job so I could maintain weight. Where could I add more protein and more calories? the calculation shown is only to maintain my weight (155lb/5'7")

Just try to keep your lower back as straight as possible. People get hurt because they arch their backs which puts uneven pressure on your spine and that’s where “snap city” comes from. Basically listen to your body
Also look on YouTube I’m not an expert at all
Kevin Price
I live 2 miles from the supermarket and it's a nice day out. Which would burn more calories: walking or riding my bike? Assuming I go at a good pace/resistance, and there is one short but steep uphill on the way there.
Luke Ross

any tips on preventing hemorrhoids? think I'm going to quit GOMAD and drink more water for one but wondering if I can do anything with my exercise in order to help.
Connor Peterson
Whats the best way to work cardio into a lifting routine? off days? Basically I'm dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety. Along side healthy diet, plenty of sleep, meditation and therapy, I like to do cardio to help me feel better. Lifting helps a lot as well (I'm a gym noob doing SS), but I find it doesn't give me the same piece of mind that running and cardio do so I definitely want to get a little bit of cardio in my routine.
Michael Scott
what are some good lifts for abs you can add weight to?
also deadlifts, leg or back day?
Nathan Lee
is a lean maintenance diet (3000cal for me) a good idea if you wanna gain muscle and lose fat?
Kayden Jackson
WHat is that tiny spot at the spine just over the butt that is always kind of irritated and sometimes bleeding? I know it's a common thing, I don't remember the name.
What to do with it?
Andrew Roberts
Decline crunches with a plate
Joshua Young
or should i just lean bulk and add 100-200 cal im currently ~180lbs and 6'4
Luke Davis
cable crunches
back day, unless you're a powerlifter in which case it's good to practise squats and DLs together. ultimately can put it wherever it works best in your program though.
Isaac Anderson
Often I come back from uni both hungry and ready to work out, but I end up having dinner and delaying my workout or doing it after 1 hour with slightly lower performance
Should I man up and workout on an empty stomach
Mason Kelly
My incline bench is just as good as my flat bench
Is that bad

How long do abs take to show? Assuming I'm at my ideal bf for them and I train them 3-5 times a week how long is it expected for them to show?

If you have posterior pelvic tilt, should you deadlift? Should you squat?
Jack Perry
I mean anterior pelvic tilt
Camden Roberts
Is it really true that I'll never make it because I have Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease)?I've read a lot of shit on the internet where people say it's impossible. Does the calories in/calories out rule still apply?

just squeeze your abs while you lift and stop begging for dick with your lower back

2 Quick ones:
-What's your recommendation for a good flexibility routine to do at night or on off days? My strength is increasing but my flexibility is still shit.
-I'm at 230 squat rn and 260 deadlift, but I can barely grip the bar to get 5 reps in 1 set on the deadlift. I feel like my back and butt could take more but I just can't grip it. Is there some grip strength stuff I could do on the side for additional help or should i just use straps?
Tyler Wright
How does one calibrate the starting weight for weight training? As in figuring out the right weight for sets of reps that will result in going to failure etc. I see plenty of info on increasing weight incrementally etc. Just struggling to find answers about starting weight to build up from.
Is it just trial and error on the first visit to the gym?
Nicholas Clark
>Is it just trial and error on the first visit to the gym?
yes
don't ego lift / let yourself be goaded into heaving on too much weight at the start, start with bar only and watch form
you'll feel how bar only feels, work from there
the first one or two gym sessions will probably just consist of finding the right starting weights for all your exercises and trying to practise good form, nonetheless it will probably leave you winded enough
good luck m8
Carter Johnson
addendum: with
>you'll feel how bar only feels, work from there
i meant, if it feels really light (which it probably will for some exercises) don't hesitate to add weight
you'll feel for youself how much to add depending on how easy or not bar only was
