You should go here on your "free days", so you can recharge your carbs and protein!

5 LB overnight?!
I'm going to come work out with you. Damn0 -
Did you have a "spotter"?
If you aren't tea bagged properly you will do to many reps...therefore causing said engorging.
Glad I could be a helper.0 -
Who has wound you up today?0

I recommend 1200 calories maximum and lots of elliptical and zumba. There's also some pink weights that you can use but you should probably get a video at home and use that with the pink weights.
You'll get really tone. Lots of reps.
What about Tae-Bo?
Good god, man! If you don't want to build serious muscle mass stay as far away from Tae-Bo as possible. Just saying "Billy Blanks" three times will add ten pounds of muscle.0 -
Did you remember to put the weight back after those curls ?0

LOL I guess it helps to see which board the posts you're replying to are posted on huh. My bad. :drinker:0

Did you log the calories for that teabag?0 -
Definitely stick to cardio. You MUST lose all your fat before you can begin to weight train. Everyone knows that :bigsmile:0

Only women should lift weights... us guys need to stick to cardio and zumba!
Is that Shane MacGowan? If so you are officially my new beshtest friend0 -
First, don't weigh yourself every day. You couldn't gain 5lbs of muscle or fat in 1 day so it'll just be water weight. Lifting is one of the most effective ways to burn fat but keep lean muscle.
Lift heavy and have a good rest afterwards. Don't work the same muscle group more than twice in one week.
One pound of muscle takes up less space than one pound of fat so weight doesn't matter, just measurements and how your clothes fit.0 -
Weight gain is common when you start lifting weights. I put on 3+ the week after I started. But first, let me tell you that you did NOT build 5 pounds of muscle with one workout. That takes time so ignore that previous post. What I have learned from here is that by using your muscles and creating soreness, your body retains water and increases blood flow to the muscles to help repair and protect. After a couple days, you will be back to normal. Continue lifting and doing cardio giving your body time to hear, build and rest. You will see the results. It is important to drink lots of water to stay hydrated as well.0

Everyone knows if you use the pink weights you will get bulkier faster. Did you use the pink weights?0

The storage form of carbohydrate in muscle is called glycogen. Glycogen holds a lot of water and therefore causes the muscle to be very heavy, weighing more than fat. This is the reason that starting a strength regime can cause you to put on a few pounds. However, increasing your body's percentage of lean body mass (muscle) will also raise you basal metabolic rate- the amount of energy it takes you just to stay alive. A person with more muscle will burn more calories while working out and also while just completing normal daily tasks- sitting at a desk, walking the dog, even sleeping. On top of that, strength training is good for bone structure and to prevent injuries. Even people with weight loss goals should be doing some sort of moderate resistance/strength training 2-3x/week. You don't have to get all Ahhhnold with it though.0

Careful, someone's going to get their feelings hurt and post a 'Why are people so mean?' thread.
Stay away from protein, you'll bulk up. Also, don't eat yellow snow.0
