First ever cut. Is it normal to be this tired?

Just started my first cut a couple weeks ago. I’m pretty much used to getting hungry a couple hours before my meals now, but i’m just always so tired and i’m not sure if it’s normal. I’m 18 190lbs, I lift 6-7 times a week and do 15-30 mins of cardio everyday eating around 2200-2500 calories a day. TDEE calculators online are saying my maintenance is around 3300, and since i’m trying to lose 2 lbs a week i’m trying to stay in a 1000 calorie deficit. I also just want to note that despite me being tired this has not effected my lifts at all. I am actually still getting stronger from my bulk this winter. Am i eating too little?

"Collapsing" in the strict situp (and other areas of core weakness) - How do I attack this?

Over the past few years I've been dealing with some sporadic back pain which has recently become a little more "nagging" due to the increased sitting in the work-from-home environment I find myself in.

No radiating pain or symptoms of sciatica; localized only to the area right around my SI joint in the lower-left part of my back.

In recent months I've invested in a standing desk and try to move around as much as possible during the day, including buying a new mattress that is firmer and I've noticed some moderate improvement just with those lifestyle/environmental changes alone.

As for the skeletomuscular analysis- X-ray results show a good amount of compression in my L5, but according to MRI results, no bulge or slip in the disc.

To this point, I've identified some major weakness in my core and glutes, in additon to tight/short hamstrings so the medical professionals that I have visited I need to get my trunk stable to minimize the risk of re-aggravating the situation.

As I've been working with a PT to find more strength/stability in the core and my glutes, we've seen my hips are anteriorly rotated so my back arches a slight bit when laying flat.

Adding all this up with the compressed L5, I think I have lower crossed syndrome.

Which leads me to this observation while doing situps strict and/or eccentric (negative) situps: Completely "articulating the spine" all the way up or down for a full sit up is just impossible without any help/resistance. Is this normal for someone with a weak core?

Basically when I get to about the 40 degree mark (just over halfway back down) I just lose the contraction/bracing/tuck or whatever and collapse to the floor.

So, as in the title, how do I address this? I'm looking into the Janda situp which supposedly removes the likelihood of recruiting from the hip flexors and low back to perform the situp in addition to building strength in the transverse abdominis which I think is really weak as well.

If I workout 2-3 hours a day but spend the rest of the day in bed am I cancelling my fitness out?

Sorry if the title is worded poorly. I am training for a military selection (think competitive triathlon or something) and do the workouts that my coach prescribes 7 days a week. Either running and swimming, or running and lifting, or lifting and swimming. Lots of intervals and beatdown workouts. So I'd say fitness wise I'm very active, but other than that I spend 80% of my day sitting in my bed. I'll get up for class or to play video games but most of the time I'm in my bed.

I'm not usually like this, when I had in person college classes I volunteered at the fire station and was over at friend's houses all the time. Now that I'm home and doing online classes I don't really have too many friends to hang out with and spend most of my time at home.

How detrimental is this to my health? And am I more importantly limiting fitness my progression?

Thanks!

Breath training

What my question is exactly is difficult to explain but I will do my best.

I played competitive water polo for a long time, and during conditioning, we would do training drills to increase our ability to hold our breath. Things like hypoxic breathing sets, underwater laps, etc.

Now, I understand why this was something we trained to do. One reason being when you swim, you go faster the less you breathe and lift your head to take breaths. Also, it was great conditioning as it was much more tiring to do laps and sprints while you were more out of breath.

My question is, now that I’m not a competitive swimmer /water polo player, would breath training and similar drills be effective and beneficial still. I know they’d help my overall conditioning. But aside from just being more tired when I hold my breath when I swim, what could other benefits be? Is putting your body at an oxygen deficit for reasonably short periods of time beneficial in any way?

I can easily swim a 25 yard lap under water still even though it’s been years since I had to do it for training. And I find it relaxing when I do hop in a pool for a workout. But are there benefits I could still see if I’m not necessarily focused on doing it to be faster as a swimmer or a better conditioned swimmer?

Thanks!

EDIT: damn I didn’t expect to see all of these comments when I came back to Reddit. Thank you all so much for your helpful responses. Sorry I haven’t gotten back to many people, I have been away for a few hours. I have read all of the comments and appreciate all the information and help. And a huge thanks to those who gave me awards too, it means a ton!

How to get your mentality back after an injury?

So a little over a month ago i completely ruptured my ACL and tore my meniscus playing rugby, doing a routine cut that I've done thousands of times before. Now, a week after the surgery and still a month before I can start any kind of rehab, I have no clue how I'm going to have the right mentality to play again. In one freak accident I went from being one of the fastest rugby players in my state to struggling between getting from my bed to the couch. I know that I want to play again and I'm going to work my ass off in rehab but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get myself out of this mindset of fear?

More protein doesn't mean more strength in resistance-trained middle-aged adults

A 10-week muscle-building and dietary program involving 50 middle-aged adults found no evidence that eating a high-protein diet increased strength or muscle mass more than consuming a moderate amount of protein while training. The intervention involved a standard strength-training protocol with sessions three times per week. None of the participants had previous weightlifting experience.

Our Go-To Easy Weeknight Dinners

I’m sharing our go-to easy and healthy weeknight dinners that are on repeat in our house and the whole family loves!

With a full schedule from sun up to sun down, I don’t have hours on end to spend in the kitchen when it comes to cooking dinner. These are some of our favorite healthy meals that are on rotation week after week…

Our Go-To Easy Weeknight Dinners

Egg Roll in a Bowl via The Girl Who Ate Everything

This one-pan dinner made in 15 minutes and is packed with protein and flavor. Made with either ground pork or beef, this Keto recipe tastes just like an Asian egg roll but without the egg roll wrapper. The girls gobble it up!

Ina’s Lemon Skillet Chicken

Ina Garten does it again with this perfectly seasoned roasted chicken. It looks and tastes fancy, but is incredibly easy to throw together. It makes delicious leftovers, too! We often serve it with roasted garlic potatoes and veggies.

Jackfruit Carnitas Burrito Bowl

Everyone in the family loves these delicious vegan burrito bowls with beans, rice and all our favorite toppings. You can make the jackfruit in advance to enjoy in bowls, burritos, or on sandwiches throughout the week, too!

Gluten-Free Chicken Tenders

With young kiddos in the house, chicken tenders are alway a hit! These gluten-free and dairy-free tenders are much healthier than the frozen variety, and extra crispy. We usually serve them with sweet potatoes fries and a salad. The girls love to dip them in ketchup or Ranch.

Sushi Roll in a Bowl

This is one of our go-to dinners: baked salmon, rice (season with rice vinegar and sesame seeds), chopped cucumber, avocado, and seaweed snacks. Top with soy sauce and/or sriracha and feast!

Sheet Pan Paleo Salmon with Rosemeary Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans via Peanut Butter Fingers

This recipe answers the question “What’s for dinner?” with a simple one-pan meal. A combination of flaky salmon, crispy roasted potatoes and fresh green beans make this a satisfyingly flavorful recipe. It couldn’t be simpler – thanks, Julie!

30-Minute Sesame Chicken Green Bean Stir Fry via Ambitious Kitchen

This easy chicken and green bean stir fry takes just 30 minutes to make for a paleo friendly, protein-packed weeknight dinner that’s great for meal prep. We serve it with rice, cauliflower rice or quinoa.

What’s your go-to healthy weeknight dinner on your repeat in your house?

Sharing a TRX workout that you can do at home that will work your entire body! The TRX is an incredible piece of gym equipment that uses your own body weight as resistance. You can easily modify or progress the exercises by changing up how far away you’re standing from the anchor point. 

Hi friends! How’s the day going?? I hope you’re having a wonderful morning. Liv is at school full-time for the first time in a year (wahoo!!!) and P is on spring break, so we’re here chilling. We’ll probably hit up the Children’s Museum or Botanical Gardens for a little adventure. I’m also getting things ready for Barre Bootcamp (so.so pumed… get ready) and catching a workout in the garage later.

It’s crazy to believe that for such a class-hopper and gym lover, I’ve worked out almost exclusively at home for the past year. (I’ll take a hot yoga class as a treat and have taken a couple of Pure Barre classes.) With how much I miss the community vibe of the gym (and teaching in person!!), there are also a lot of benefits to working out at home. It’s nice not having to worry about commute time or childcare and thankfully, we have a lot in our home gym. (We agreed that a squat rack and a treadmill would complete the whole operation!)

I added a couple of things to our gym before everything sold out last spring, and the Pilot installed our TRX! I forgot how much I loved training with the TRX. You can get in a total body strength and cardio workout, and it’s also easily installed in a variety of spaces. You don’t need a ton of room to get in an awesome workout. (Interesting little tidbit: one of the Pilot’s work buddies will travel with his TRX and work out in the sleep rooms! You just attach it to a door frame and boom.)

In today’s post, I’m sharing one of my go-to home TRX workouts. This is a total body workout that you can easily progress or modify, depending on how far away you are from the anchor point.

At-home TRX total body workout

Here’s what the workout looks like:

Exercises in this workout:

1) Squat and reach

2) Low rows

3) Chest press

4) Ys and Ts

5) Biceps curls

6) Squat bound

7) Mountain climber

8) Single leg lunge

9) Tuck and pike

10) Hamstring curls

And here’s a full workout tutorial video!

I didn’t do a follow-along video for this one because it’s rep based, not time based. For these types of workouts, it’s better to go at your own pace instead of trying to match mine. I may move more slowly or quickly than the tempo that works for YOU. Instead, watch the video for form cues, modification options, and some fave TRX tips, then blast some music and go for it!

How often do you use the TRX? Do you have a #1 fave piece of gym equipment? My fave at-home cardio option is definitely my beloved Peloton and my fave resistance tool is the band loop. So small, so fiery.

Have a great day, friends!
