Ha! God you're good. Yep we have a closet full of stuff for being onsite: measuring tapes, flashlights, hard hats etc. For you, I will measure tonight.

Do you want to do a challenge with me to work up to a mile swim? We could add 50-100m per week. I'll only get to swim 1-2 times a week though.
Hmmmm yes, I really like the idea of a challenge and I haven't been swimming more than 2 times a week anyway. I think it would help us both.

I don't know how long a mile is in meters, but adding 50-100m every week is a great idea. I'm in!

I think we should add some weights to the mix too.

Weight AND swim challenge!

Note that those guidelines are for those who're not trying to build more muscle. They're the minimum required for the maintenance of the existing one.

You can work out your legs and arms really good as well. Look and see if your gym has some foam barbell looking thingies; you can put one between your thighs to stabilize your legs and only do arm strokes. Get a kick board and do 50m of flutter kicks and then 50m butterfly kicks. With the butterflies, you should do a 2 count, big kick/little kick, and you will feel a bubble go up from you ankles to your vjajay....you know your legs are tight and straight enough if you feel the bubble. Your hips and ass will be on fire after the kicks.
Damn girl, thanks for hooking me up with the vajayjay bubbles! Might have to have 2 swim sessions in a row!

Sounds good! A mile is 1600m(32 laps).
I swam 450m(9laps) on Sunday, so I will do 550m(11laps) this weekend.

I need suggestions on how much weight to increase by and at what frequency.
Currently:
Squats-95lb
Deadlift: 135lbs
Leg press: 225lbs

Lat pulldowns:75-95lbs
DB rows: 40lbs
DB Inclined bench: 35s

As I said earlier, I was thinking that the protein minimum is twice higher (25%+ of total calories), just I was happy to find an official (USDA) source that is saying otherwise and cutting me more slack (protein is the bottleneck of the food expenditure - the most expensive macro).

But I do think that bodybuilder resources tend to lean on the high side of protein requirements.

Ouch, I didn't know that muscles get microscopic damage during resistance training This explains why those engaging in it need extra protein. For other mortals, though, those who don't tear themselves on a regular basis, 0.8 g of it per 1 kg of body weight (0.36 g per 1 lb) might be still enough.

Maybe to just exist, sure. But even if your goal isn't to be super strong, or isn't to be jacked and tan, building some muscle is only going to help in every goal anyone on this forum is trying to achieve, from losing weight to looking better to living longer.

Well, if you're able to get 0.8 g of protein per lb of weight per day, that's awesome. What the USDA guideline means is that it's not life-threatening if you consume twice less.

Coon74, quoting the USDA as some sort of authority here is not a position of strength.

Those macros coincide to 15 slices per day of my bread! It's enough to make the goddamned Atkins people tolerable.

USDA guidelines are based more on political science than nutritional science.

I'm sorry that you have trouble with using it yourself.
best to avoid whey altogether. once you try it, the next thing you know your snorting lines of whey laced with preworkout in the gym bathroom

Josie, not only do you need more protein when you are lifting, but you should be eating even more protein when you are in a caloric deficit as it will help maintain muscle mass and strength while you are leaning out.

1g/kg bw is prob fine for people who don't work out
1.5-2g per kg for people who lift
2g+/kg for people who lift and are in a caloric deficit

Considering, I'm at 5 laps now, though I could probably bust out 10, we have a loooooooooooooooooong way to go.

OMFG according to that shiat (the 3rd line above) that's about 130g of protein per day. 120 is challenging enough!

We will do it! Just add 1/2-1laps per week. I think this will be a lot easier than building up to run a mile.

Also Bees,

2 questions:

With the increase of protein, I'm eating about 300 cals more per day. You dont think that halt's weight loss?

How close are you to your wedding? It has to be coming up very soon!

Based on 235 lbs you are 106kg.

106x2= 212g of protein

Good luck with that! You're going to need a lot of those Yoplait Protien 100 calorie yogurts.

I bought some last night btw! I intended to have one this afternoon but too full.
