How did you do the calculation? App or online? Does it tell you the calorie count?

Re: Medicals
Good advice on here.
To emphasize/add:
- Compound moves are key to burning fat and building muscle. Always do the most labour intensive exercises first (ie. compound). Chest day will start with bench press, back day will be with deadlift. Accessory/isolation exercises should be towards the end.
- Progressive overload is important. Constantly look to increase the weight incrementally over a time period so you constantly grow and develop.
- MMC (Muscle Mind Connection) can make a huge difference to a workout by focussing the mind on the body part you are trying to develop.
- Don't bother with the smiths (aka devil) machine. I see alot of people doing squats and benchpress using it. It fails to prepare and develop the supporting muscles to do squats and bench presses safely.
- If you want to keep eating your favourite foods but still reach your goals, it's worth looking into IIFYM (If it fits your macros). It's nutrient/calorie counting which I'm too lazy to do haha
- Assessing lean body mass is a way better metric than BMI.
- Endurance and long distance cardio will have a negative impact on muscle building.
Happy to provide tips on the compound lifts on pushing the most weight

Re: Medicals
I am soooooo fat right now, it depresses me. I came here with the notion of doing something about it in my spare time. Shame about the first 2 weeks in the Metropolitan...the Red Lion had other plans...
At least since I moved to the Palm flats near the track I've been walking quite a bit. I've got a bit fitter and stronger, but still carrying too much blubber. I need to learn to control midweek drinking and eating. I started smoking again for a while, but have knocked that on the head (Alan Carr's book/CD helped me - I just don't want them, even when a bit tiddly).
Wondering if joining a gym and getting a PT involved would be wise. I've got into the heavy weight/low rep thing before and it is effective. I've also used MFP before. Just need to get a ****ing grip!
