    As guestimated I hit 40kg on the standing military press. I've got some hypermobility, with being 43 years old I'm taking it easier on stuff than I would have in my 20's... the 50kg my form started slipping and I starting twisting to get the bar up... so I pulled up before I hit the mountain...

    How much money are you willing to pay for a smartphone?

    These days anything over a R1000 PEP phone has a more than decent camera. The R5k Xiaomi I have is great, even the Honor I had before (that backflipped and broke the screen) took great photos. We get pomped on tech/electronics :/ In the past I've bought guitar pedals that were like R4k on the...

    I spent just under R5k for a Xiomi Redmi Note 15. It's plenty phone for what I need.

    On Reta (it has GLP-1 as part of it's triple agonist. Primarily to help with my MASLD - non alcoholic fatty liver). I hit the gym. I enjoy it though. If gym isn't your thing you'll need to get some weight training going at home. With any of these medications (and in fact any form of rapid...

    It's on the seated machine press though so there's some mechanical advantage. Standing Military press I will prob be at 40 to 50kg at a guess. I've actually been meaning to give it a swing and see how my core holds up. I don't get strain in my lower back doing any of the row movements anymore so...

    the inbody (the branded one where you hold a thing in your hand) scan does give you your estimated BMR ja. Actually... even my Huawei smart scale estimates it also. It currently estimates it as 1890 but that might be less accurate than the inbody scan. The inbody scan isn't "perfect". Even...

    BMR is "calories required to sustain life in a coma" (basically). Age: 43 Height: 171cm Weight: 96kg Using Miffler st Jeor mine comes out to 1819, harris-benedict says 1951 At a sedentary level (multiply BMR by 1.2) my maintenance works out to 2183 or 2341 A moderate deficit is 500 so...

    I know if we eat pizza on a Friday (which is now once every 3rd Friday instead of every Friday) I'm going up like 2 to 3kg on the scale over the weekend easily. The morning after a hard gym session I also end up with higher weight on the scale the next morning. This is why I have measurements...

    According to the math my BMR should be around 1800ish... with a maintenance around 2100ish. A 500 cal deficit should be around 1600. So aiming for 1500 most days is not "aggressive" as such. 1200 kcal would be aggressive (according to this math). This was when I was sedentary towards the end of...

    I'm not jealous... at all... (I am... lol). I'm up to 210 days of tracking everything I eat and being disciplined. I'm at 1500 kcal a day, 1800ish on lifting days. Eating whole foods, chicken, beef, fish. Carb sources are potato, whole wheat pasta, rice. Basically no sugar, I don't add sugar to...

    Dawie Roodt as Finance Minister of South Africa

    Neeeeee... he says stuff like "pay teachers half and just get double the number" so I would question his reasoning.
