Question Thread 35
Added 2018-08-14 01:16:14 +0000 UTCNew thread because the old one's too damn long. Please read the rules below. We run a tight ship here and questions that don't adhere to these rules will be ignored.
Rules:
1. Don't reply to my reply with another question. Patreon makes it impossible to navigate and find it once the thread becomes long enough. The email notification doesn't take me to your reply, it just takes me to this thread. Instead, write a new comment/question.
2. Each Patron gets one post per question thread answered. It's not sustainable otherwise. New question threads are made every few days.
3. Use shift+enter to make a break. On a cell phone, hit Return twice to do the same. Don't post an unreadable mess.
4. Teddy Fox is my right hand man here. What he says, I say. Zach Moore and Patrick Tucker are qualified personal trainers that chip in from time to time. Alexander Jonathan Leahy is also good and knows a thing or two about powerlifting.
5. Don't ask how much you're supposed to eat on training and rest days respectively. We're not here to do math for you. (BW in kg) x 30 is a good starting point for maintenance.
6. Before asking, please make sure you read Patrick Tucker's LG FAQ. Updated every Friday (weekend in this week's case).
7. Check out Elliott Myers's Google Sheets Log for the RPT diet routine AND Patreon RPT Routine.
8. Check out Zach Moore's LG Patreon Table of Contents.
9. Don't ask for "thoughts." Be specific. I have lots of thoughts on countless subjects, but no time to share them all. It's your responsibility to specify which one you're after.
10. One question per thread. Alternatively, a few questions if they're related to the former. Don't ask 5 questions about 5 different topics.
11. How NOT to ask questions: "I'm hungry. Should I eat or starve?" Instead:
"I'm hungry. Should I eat?"
Many questions are simple enough to answer with a 'yes' or 'no.' Don't make it hard for us by asking questions to which such answers could be interpreted both ways. In this case, 'yes, eat' or 'yes, starve.'
