I've been at 190 for a while, those last 10 lbs to 200 are so hard. But man it's a satisfying lift. Also the easiest one to almost pass out on.
I'm not disagreeing with you but I'm having trouble with why you're jumping to this conclusion… the OP stated they're having "limited progress" but don't specify what it is exactly their goal is. Sure you can infer it's about weightlifting given the thread we're on but I don't really know.Farmer1906 said:
Having awesome looking giant quads doesn't always equal huge weight under the bar. Just like body builder vs power lifter. Everyone has different goals.
I don't think you are hitting your hammys near hard enough if you are a biker/runner.SteveA said:
I compete in XC and marathon, not sprinting . I'm on the bike about 8/9 hours a week. Working legs is difficult with interval work, so I've been limiting that to Sundays. Then push/pull alternating m/w/f mornings. Intervals on the bike tu/th. Easier rides in the afternoons. Longer rides on saturday. I'm not really skinny, especially compared to people I race against, but would like to gain some good mass. I may try to remove a day or two of the easy rides and see how that affects my lifting and my fitness.
Awesome, great to hear it's working for you!CC09LawAg said:
These have been awesome. I have had the nacho cheese and loaded taco and I was expecting them to be pretty mediocre. But I would eat these even if they weren't "healthy" chips.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Be careful saying "heavy deadlifts," it bat signals me.
I'm just beginning to cut some weight, so while I've been happy to have some progression on RDLs and leg presses, I'm ready to supplement with more leg curls/leg extensions to preserve hypertrophy on a caloric deficitCC09LawAg said:
Have my deadlift workout today too.
Doing my 5/3/1 work with conventional, but then doing the 5x5 with suitcase deadlifts while I'm cutting to try to lower the intensity a bit but keep the volume up.
Then adding in some lunges and sled work for my accessories.
So far, trying to lose weight sucks as much as I remember.
