once I'm done tracking, is there a list I can follow or a video explaining how to categories each item I eat and get information out of it? Also, do I need to note water intake? And is measuring how big a portion with an estimate ok? I wont be able to measure what I don't cook myself.

I’m 62 and trying to train. I’m also a devout Catholic and, being Lent, I’m fasting. I’m waiting until 3 pm to eat each day and usually don’t eat after 9 pm. The lifts are starting to feel heavy but I’m grinding it out. I also cut out all sweets, even my dark chocolate from Aldi that has 3 grams of sugar,and my usual glass of red wine at night. I usually break my fast with an avocado and some bone broth or a salad. My question is, do you think that I should go to 3 sets of 3 during this time? I’m going back up in weight after a shoulder injury and I’m right around halfway where I was before on NLP. I’m 5’9” and 205 pounds, squat at 250, deadlift 300, pressing 130, and bench is an extremely weak 170.

[@waynenoll1967]

Not “halfway” just going through the weights I lifted before, lol. I had my squat up to 305 before I tweaked my shoulder, and 305 was an all out grind.

Hi what is the protein requirement for a 61 year old trainer iam 5,10 weight 260 pounds thanks

[@waynenoll1967]

Grant, are you familiar with Dr. Jamnadas or Dr. Fung?

[@marcosortega5899]

A lot

[@nicholascarver1]

Ive been putting spicy honey on salad.

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Enough

[@user-to4qi8hz2r]

I may cheat on my taxes but I never cheat on squat depth.

[@rns7426]

Why is everyone eating salad and dumping olive oil on it?! Because it’s delicious!!!! Now I want a salad. With meat on it, and cheese, and fat croutons and tomatoes!

[@M3tz124]

Rip told me to eat a bunch a food, I gained 45lbs, stopped running and now I got high blood pressure...

[@ronburgandy3339]

Perfectly put. Fat, strong, and unhealthy. Exactly my goal.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@ronburgandy3339 haha the opposite of my goal- to become lean and strong not fat.

[@chrisgomez215]

Burgers

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

if one is obese less food is better! But increase protein so keto/low carb is way to go.

[@seanmoser7478]

[@seanmoser7478]
