Fitness ideas might help. I started weightlifting again probably 1 to 4 months ago. I’m doing fat loss muscle gain. I will be done soon, and switch to gaining. I might go to 11% bodyfat and then go up to a final amount. I started with at least a 34 inch waist. I put off removing the rod in my femur. I learned a lot about nutrition and improved my diet. Body fat percentage: On 3/23, I might have been at 13% body fat. I have a Renpho Morphoscan Base body composition scale that says I’m at 13.0%. Maybe I should get an accurate test, and somehow use it to calibrate the Renpho scale. I gave AI this: Weight: 147.6 pounds. Height: 71.22 inches Neck: 14.75 inches Waist: 31.8125 It gave 12.9%, 13.0%, 14.2% (chatgpt). For body data, I have these scales: Renpho Morphoscan (possibly a waste of money) and a cheap Taylor scale. I have a random tape measure. My food scales are Bomata and Mainstays brands (0.1g and 0.01g accuracy). The 0.01g one handles up to 1kg, and I mostly use it for small amounts. I have a cheap set of m1 accuracy calibration weights (1kg total). I mostly shop for food at Market Basket and Apna Bazar. I mostly get inorganic food, and small amounts of organic. I have not seen a dietician. I should. I might get a blood test because my doctors are bad at communicating, and I haven’t done a home test. I am very good at drawing blood from people. My night drugs are magnesium glycinate 300mg, melatonin 1mg, trazodone 50mg. My day drug is Concerta 27mg. I have been off stimulants for a long time and it made me very dysfunctional. I’m probably on too low a dose now, and still a bit dysfunctional. Maybe sometime I won’t have to be as functional, and I can skip stimulants. For weightlifting, my goal is to lift every day. Sometimes I skip 2 days. For splits, I did an everything split. Now I’m doing arms, legs (and core muscles every time). I will probably spread that out more once this gets tiring, so my final split might be arms push, legs push, arms pull, legs pull. I think I will do core muscles much less. Maybe I should do arms or legs more to look good. Here’s the equipment I use. I hold the adjustable dumbbells and the 20 pound ones together with mittens for extra weight for some exercises. I should upgrade. I dumbed this down because unfriendlies might be following me. I didn’t share a lot of what I’m doing.
