SJ,

I don't know if you're worrying over nothing depending on what the rest of the clinical picture looks like, but from a training perspective...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Right. What are you gonna do, not counsel?...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Seems reasonable. I'd add a couple hundred calories each week to make sure you're gaining weight....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Eh, I'm not terribly concerned with the concentration of protein per unit volume per se', but rather the concentration of essential amino acids as they...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I would slowly increase your BW while you train your ass off. Use a better program than LP....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Your waist suggests you're not at an increased risk from carrying too much body fat. If you want to be leaner, that's a personal decision ...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

What do you weigh now and what is your waist circumference?

Sounds like you had a rough go of it, but you shouldn't have much in the way...

Christopher,

Thanks for the post and I hope you're doing well. I'd probably recommend the hypertrophy template on a slight deficit at this...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

No difference really. A handful of studies suggest eating at similar times per day keeps certain hormones involved in muscle gain and fat loss regulated...

Sooghs,

Thanks for the post and interesting timing, as this is something Austin and I have been talking about a lot recently.

I don't think it's a huge deal performance wise and in those conversations we've also talked about why we recommend this strategy.

That...

I don't know what you're trying to measure, but the USDA data for raw chicken is what I use. I don't track calories directly either.

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

If you can't see your abs at that weight/height you either carry a lot of body fat in your trunk and/or haven't been training that long. For reference,...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Yea I hear you. My thinking is that there's probably a threshold of adipose tissue that negatively influences lipoprotein levels via complex systems-...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

You could use them for the interval work and potentially do a long sled drag instead of the LISS. That could work, but not on the turf for the LISS unless...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Fx,

You could do any of those programs on a calorie deficit. I think re running the hypertrophy template would be reasonable, but I'd run...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Nah, the back off work should feel pretty light in that phase. 3-4 minute rest periods would be advised as well....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

It doesn't matter from a LBM maintenance standpoint. I would've just stayed on the 12 WS on maintenance calories or slightly below.

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I probably wouldn't add pulling volume to that template, but your plan for working the meet into the template seems reasonable....

Typically losing weight, adding fiber, exercising, not smoking, and a dose or two of soy protein per day day can help lower LDL.
