  • I agree with the ya NightShiftMedic. AND to add a little tid-bit. I always tell people to try it, at leasta few times,e but crossfit is NOT for everyone. I have been a athlete well and power lifter and olympic lifter for well over 10 years, and crossfit just didn't prove to me what it was chalked up to be. But I never…
  • I have always said in any of my post, #Happylifting. Whether it was here or prior to here FB. It's just one of those things that stuck. and I am also happy when I am lifting :)
  • I def have enjoyed the ones I tried. A friend of mine said " take these, try em out, they are delicious". So i took her word for it. I found that I thoroughly enjoyed the cookies & cream and raspberry white choc one and cookie dough. Didn't so much enjoy the double choc one, because I am a huge choc fan and choc should…
  • I can say I have used some Cellucor products before, no real change, just increased energy really on top of the coffee I already drink. I have also used MHP Water Xpel, which made a difference when I was cutting some water weight, I also changed my diet at the time which made a difference. ALL IN ALL use your diet, drink…
  • Been on nights for about 3 months, for the 3rd time of my working career. I swore I would never do it again, BUT here I am. and I LOVE MY JOB!! So it actually works out, plus no traffic in the evenings and the gym is pretty much a breeze by the time I get there, no waiting :) So here's to the 2300-0700 workers! :smiley:
  • Keep up those veggies and some green tea, it'll keep the metabolism working. Some times the stomach is the last place for the fat loss. Mine is my thighs and stomach. However, I have soccer legs, huge quads, so it takes a lot for me to get the finer areas of my legs to lose fat. The stomach is a stubborn place for a lot of…
  • I second not training legs every day. You need time to rest the muscles. ALSO eat some bananas, they help in recovery, oddly so does chocolate milk, but real milk not that stuff you mix in. ALSO the shoes you bought may be the wrong shoes for you. I find that nike's are the only thing I can train in, I have tried the…
  • I started a new split, because I used to do that same one, in a sense, but i never did two legs days until now. Day 1: Chest,Tri's, Abs (Normal and Close-grip bench complex) Day 2: Shoulder, legs (Barbell shoulder press, squat, deadlift- main lifts) Day 3: Back, traps, bi's (Lat pull, barbell bent-over row, Barbell shrug,…
  • I always do a five minute warm up on some cardio machine to get my heart going. If I am in a cycle of building I limit the cardio to strictly 5 mins then move onto my lifting. If I am not in a cycle of building, i will do 5 mins cardio, lift for 60 +/- then to 10-15 mins cardio. It really depends on where you want you…
  • I know I burn more lifting than any warm up cardio I do. But it's just the facts, MFP isn't 100% accurate but it keeps people motivated in a sense
  • Help me study! I have my test coming up soon and I am doing this all self teach for my PT certification
  • Peanut butter (dip an apple in it-even more filling), fish, eggs, jerky,Mini Babybels, lean beef and chicken and protein bars. Just a few that are good for you :) You can hard boil the eggs and take them anywhere!
  • Try some circuit training aka HIIT training. That'll be sure to kick your butt into high gear by May
  • I would suggest starting out with some good cardio. 20-30 minutes 3 times a week. On the 4th day, do some weight training. Do this for a bout 3 weeks. Then start incorporating some more lifting and circuit training.
  • I would say do it once, then wait a couple of weeks. You also have to realize you retain water weight. People forget about this when they get on the scale, you might lose 2lbs this week, and go up 1lb next week. It doesn't necessarily mean you gained weight, it is simply water. I weighed myself before I started gaining…
  • She's been my inspiration since day one of when i started bodybuilding
