I wanted to say hello to everyone. I just joined the site to keep track of my caloric intake and execise regimens.

If anyone needs help with anything or has any fitness questions, I would be happy to help you. I am a former NCAA Division II Track and Field standout, then turned assistant coach. I log around 15-20 miles of running a week and weight train at least 3 days per week. I love it!

Exercise is an addiction...

Cheers!
Jeff

    Hi Jeff:
    Welcome to MFP.

    What is the optimum combination of exercise and diet that will increase muscle mass without gaining fat as well?

    Thanks in advance,
    San

    Wow that sounds quite impressive. Welcome we are glad you have joined. I am not much of a runner but I do walk. Running has always been hard on my back and heels. But perhaps someday I will try it again. Thanks for offering your expertise I am sure you will hear questions.

    Welcome and best of luck with your goals.

    Thats a pretty general question. After perusing some of your posts, you seem pretty knowledgeable in this respective area. If you really need an answer to this question, I would direct you to a personal trainer. They will be able to help you build a personalized plan, monitor your progress, and advise you on a more individual level. These message boards just won't be able to do all of that. I hope that helps. Have a nice day!

    Cheers!

    Hi Jeff:
    I don't presently have a personal trainer since my trainer moved to another city a few months ago. Therefore, I am experimenting on my own to get a proper weight (muscle) gain. At first, I thought just custom-setting 500 calories above Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity for nutritional goal, combined with 2-days/week of cardio and 2-days/week of weight training would increase my muscle mass. Was I surprised a few weeks later to find out that my body fat was also growing along, almost 1:1 with increased muscle mass! Now, I still maintain my exercise schedule, but with reduced caloric intake. I was wondering if you had a proven recipe for this kind of situation.

    Thanks for your reply, and again, welcome to MFP.
