  • TB is my TB is my go-to for fast food that fits my FACE!! :open_mouth:
  • I just might ;P That was for the one before the one...although, lookin' legit mate.
  • Usually the protein number spikes during a cut because when you reduce carbs you certainly wont want to get the calories from excess fat. Also, and this may be a bit of bro science, but the increase in protein during the cut/diet will help limit the amount of muscle loss based on what I have read.
  • I remember that every day I slack off is another day added before I reach my goal. There is nothing worse than thinking "hey, if I had just started this a MONTH ago...I would be 4 more pounds down than I am right now".
  • Change what you are doing...not class "A" vs "B" but really change what you are doing. Your body will get used to the type of work you are doing not exclusively a specific exercise. If the class program is the only way to go then maybe you need to set higher goals for yourself during the class. I know that when I was doing…
  • Pre-workout! just kidding...but really, pre-workout.

  • Yes, generally if a person eats less energy than their body needs, it has to come from somewhere...but that doesn't mean the same thing to all people. You clearly are an exception based on comment and I would believe that your only good option is to work with your dr/therapist/dietitian and not listen to the armchair…
  • Everybody has their own journey...I honestly am surprised how many people provide completely unsolicited feedback on someones food diary or "program". If someone wants to go that route, let them. If they are a close personal friend OR they are specifically asking for it then fire away otherwise there is no need for…
  • If one side is stronger than the other...you need to try and do single arm movements more and ALWAYS start with your weaker arm. It feels strange because you will only get a good pump on one side (depending on how lopsided it is) but that's the way. The problem with one arm being stronger is that it will affect your chest,…
  • Said it before...Pre-OG from Tiger Fitness is bomb...and Chris Jones is an awesome dude so I am happy to give him my money.
  • simple question, simple answer. yes, it is. WHAT exercise means to you is the variable.
  • LOL!!! oreos are vegan? thats crazy talk...I had no idea :)
  • I mean that 2600 will feel like a TON of food...but if that is your goal you are just gonna have to stuff it in. I did look back into your diary and, yea, I think its just small portion size on lean protein/carbs keeping you back.
  • Mirey...that top is legit!!
  • try to eat some carbs close to the start of your training...so just move a bit of your food to pre-workout so your net stays the same.
  • lol!! that is the worst one. The ones with big chunks of stuff in them are best: cookies n cream, smore, chocolate mint, cookie dough, white chocolate raspberry. I really dont like the others...they are too much powerbars in their consistency. The apple one specifically was also the first ones I bought...thought it had a…
  • for me...its my pattern is the "don't pass out" method. :wink: Truthfully, you are starting out way too fast if you need to stop so quickly. I would think that if you ramp into running, so say the first 5 minutes you walk progressively quicker until you HAVE to run, then keep that pace. Congratulations on beating cancer…
  • grain, bread, pasta for the carb...chicken / fish for the protein, especially if you pair it with the grain (rice/quinoa) or pasta. Also, you straight up aren't eating enough. 2600 calories at your height/weight means a huge food proportion...I have a hard time eating to 2300 without feeling like I am ALWAYS eating and I…
  • Change something: move your macros around (less fat or less carbs, more protein, etc.), change your workout routine, change your workout timing (morning vs night), change what you eat when. All just examples but if it ain't working now...
  • for a 10k, a "taper" is not running for 2-3 days prior to the race. I only say that assuming you aren't a top tier runner (planning on a top 5 finish).

  • 90s Alt/Grunge, Metal.
  • if you don't kick then swimming would work. Go low impact, low incline, elliptical...they burn a lot of calories because its arms+legs too.
  • A few things: Cycle your muscle groups...don't ever work the same muscles day over day unless you are very advanced. Sore and hurt are different things, you need to determine which you REALLY are. If you just started lifting you need to ease into it. Honestly you shouldn't be THAT sore...if you are then you are either a)…
  • Only way to know you are going the right direction is to weigh every day. If you are doing things right...the scale will move every day (or every two). If you weight the same 3-4 days in a row and are doing the things you think should be working, they aint working.
  • Take the most conservative number you feel is reasonably accurate and use that. There are a bunch of pre-builts for walking: easy, moderate, etc. and one of those should fit. its better to underestimate than overestimate (and then post the "why am I not losing" post).
  • I was a competitive swimmer for 12 years...ultraswim is the stuff OR you can just decide to let it go, which most of us did :)
  • The OP was complaining about getting the shakes during their workout...caffeine is probably not the ideal choice.
  • At least he didnt forget leg day...
