Well my diets been going good, well except the 2 1/2 pounds I gained overnight from quite a bit of salt (salmon sure has alot of salt when canned and tastes like crap lol), weight lifting, and the stair master I just got.

But I have 4 questions all pretty important/whatever you want to call it:

#1: Ok heres a very ... odd question and would be nice if could get a explanation. I really like steak, and since its a good source of protein and some fats (I dont get much) I eat a 6 - 8 oz. steak every couple days, however, the next day I almost always lose 1 - 3 pounds, whether I exercised alot or little, my weight almost always goes down post steak eating days and I rarely gain it back, anyone got any clue as to how this works?

#2: Ok, I was talking to someone and somehow tuna came up and I said its good but has alot of mercury, then chicken came up and I didnt know that there was anything bad about chicken however the person said it has alot of hormones in it and im curious, are the hormones in chicken bad or does anyone have any opinions about it or got a link? Ive heard about mercury poisoning but never anything bad about chicken.

#3: Can anyone list some good back/ab weight lifting exercises? Ive been exercising legs/arms alot however, All I really do are crunches and pull-ups for my abs/back so im curious can anyone list a few other good exercises for those places?

#4: Does anyone have a rough estimate of how much weight salt makes you gain/lose in water? Im hoping the 2 1/2 pounds I gained were from the extra probaly 1000 mg of salt I had yesterday from the salmon + alot more chicken/turkey, I know salt makes you retain water but how much?
