That's why exercise/nutrition etc has to become a lifestyle that is sustainable (for life within reason). If weighing and logging food is something that you know you wont maintain, then you have to find other ways around it that make it easier and sustainable. If your bored of doing it after you reach your goals then it…

I break my fast each day at 5pm. I don't eat Breakfast or lunch and lift heavy for an hour or so during this time. I only consume water (lots of it) and maybe one black coffee. I then consume roughly 3000 cals of an evening with my family. I'm never hungry in the day and feel strong and energised as opposed to sleppy and…

They are not necessary. They are just convenient for hitting protein goals if people are struggling to get it in from food. They are fairly low calorie, taste nice, quickly absorbed into the body and cost effective. Sometimes I'm bored of chicken/Tuna etc and don't feel like a meal straight after the gym or don't have…

Tally ho old bean. I'm a British chap from Birmingham.

That's pretty much how I do it. I never make anything obsessive or log as I personally think it can take some of the joy out of food and make it a chore and robotic. I glance at the back of packets to get a rough idea of macro values and just keep a rough idea in my head everyday. After a while you get to the point where…

I might be wrong, but I've heard that supplementing with garlic (raw cloves or tablets) can be a decent natural way of lowering blood pressure.

I never really paid to much attention before, but looking at those last pictures Brittney is in pretty good shape. She has the horse shoe definition in her triceps to combat the bingo wings and as mentioned her traps/shoulders and deltoids are defined with just enough body fat to make her not looked ripped and vascular…

Unless you have a medical condition I would not worry to much about sugar. Just get your calories/macros on point and lift heavy.

Fun guy to be friends with.

To much caffeine might spike it to0 mate. Other than that, it's time to give up the M&M's. Life is very unfair.

Hi mate, it does sound like it might be a stupid genetic thing. My lifestyle is similar to yours. My blood pressure is always high when tested at the doctors (white coat syndrome I think), but is a lot lower if I test it daily at home. Not scary high, but higher than I would like it to be. My Dad takes Statins to control…

Amazing results. Well done mate. I wouldn't worry about BMI if you lift heavy. Body fat percentage/weight on the scale/mirrors are probably more accurate indicators. I think even Arnold Schwarzenegger's BMI would have been considered morbidly obese at his peak. Don't give it a second thought.

I said no to various charitable organisations who cold called me.

She wasn't a strong as I thought when she dropped that baby. Maybe that was the moment she decided to start sculpting the guns.

Great post. Well done and congratulations. You seem to know exactly what your doing and have the determination and focus to achieve it.

Yeah bulk. Just eat 250-500 cals over your TDEE to avoid to much excessive fat gain and lift heavy focusing on Compound movements and any isolation exercises you enjoy. I've been slowly bulking for nearly two years (3000 cals a day) and have liked the results and enjoyed eating. Whenever I do decide to cut, I will do this…

I've just got back from 10 days in Portugal. I googled local gyms, went and viewed them and worked out most days there. One was in a near by hotel (walking distance from my hotel and gave access to SPA/swimming pool/Saunas etc). The other was a locals municipal gym. Both were cheap to pay for one offs and had great…

If I said I preferred her in the "Hit me baby one more time" video it will raise all kinds of eyebrows lol. Let's go with the red cat suit Britney in "crazy"? Video (I think). The real question is did she look manly when she went bald!

Optimal Nutrition or a UK company called My Protein. Fairly low calories and decent protein (21g) per scoop. Both mix well and have plenty of flavours. Very trusted brands. Try to stay away from anything you can buy in a supermarket (overpriced and they use fillers making the content misleading and inaccurate).

She needs to work on her vocal exercises. Shocking use of auto tune in the studio and lips synchs live. Arms look pretty good though.

Sorry to be rude, But If it's that important to you then treat it professionally like a proper job/interview and prepare/research/do the hard work and don't take short cuts. You have a solid goal in front of you and you should take it seriously if it's something your committed too. You should be researching this catalogue…

Everybody's going to lie and say personality above the attributes you mentioned as examples. At least christianlee100 was honest and said he's all about the nuts! :)

What were his thoughts on the Ham and mash that he ate? On the positive side He's obviously very appreciative of your cooking that he eats your portions too.

That domestic life. I don't think he's intentionally trying to wind you up though. Maybe try to pre-empt his colossal Fu*k ups and try to build them into your overall calorie/macro goals. :)

Also, On the drive home I sometimes go through in my head how I could have pushed myself harder or made slight improvements. I would question the circumstances leading up to a good or a bad workout. I used to really beat myself up over this, but now I'm just happy to be doing something I enjoy and still improving.

Surely that is a good thing and should be your goal anyway.

Two minutes (bad cardio) is a fairly low calorie burn. You might get better results with domestic chores.

Well done for quitting smoking. As others have said, you might be eating more than you think anyway if your not weighing food. I'm assuming your goal is weight loss? Use the extra calories that you have saved up in the day from missing breakfast for treats (A treat could be a chocolate bar, Ice Cream or fruit depending on…

Yeah, I feel this too. I feel proud, exhausted, calm, relaxed, confident, powerful, pumped and a sense that I'm doing the right thing in a world that can sometimes be confusing.

Looks great. Have you cleaned your room young lady?!
