comment Does aerobic exercise training change resting metabolism?
FFA stands for Free Fatty Acid. During the process of lipolysis, stored fat is broken down and FFAs are released into the bloodstream. The question at hand is how aerobic conditioning affects the process of lipolysis and, by extension, the amount of FFAs released into the bloodstream.

comment Is this pain in my neck — after Smith Machine squats — just DOMs or something else?
@Stephanie going forward you may want to check out some videos online of proper form barbell squats (mark rippetoe is a good, trustworthy source). Starting Strength is another good resource (even if you don't follow the program, it still will teach you a lot). Finally, if your gym has a squat rack you wont need a partner for spotting.

comment Difference between cutting calories and cardio (with regard to fat loss)?
@Sancho Exactly my point. From my perspective they produce identical results, hence the question of why someone would opt to do both over the individuals. As to the strength training, I personally believe that figure is a myth. Most of the studies supporting the idea of "muscles greatly increasing RMR" tested it directly after training sessions. The studies which tested RMR of weight lifters independent from training sessions found that the caloric maintenance for muscles was being vastly overstated in previous studies (reported as 50-100/muscle, closer to 6-12/muscle).

comment Why do I get nauseous after working out, but ONLY in the afternoon or early evening?
It may actually be diet induced. Perhaps you eat something (or some type of food) for lunch/dinner that you never eat for breakfast. Another variable is the timing of your lunch/dinner in relation to your evening exercise (I know this was a factor for me when strength-training).

@Casper You aren't really recommending someone do a cardio workout in addition to not eating that day... are you?

@DaveLiepmann 67in/146lb. I started SL at the 45 lb recommended starting point for squats. So far I'm still doing 5x5 across the board for all exercises (except deadlifts, which are 1x5).

@DaveLiepmann I'm at 140 lb squats, so I was thinking of deloading to 115 (approx. 20%).
