keep it under 2000 mg unless you have high blood pressure or heart issues I wouldn't worry about it. If your over 50 lower it to 1500

You can try using one arm or putting your feet 18" higher if your looking for higher intensity. If as stated above your looking for more mass I would suggest weights to increase the load your body has more than likely gotten use too. I just quit the 100 push ups program at 85 because of an elbow issue I don't want to get…

I have been taking synthroid 136- 175mg for 15 years and it plays no role in my weight gain or loss. Its all about the quality of food intake and the total calories. Good luck with your journey its all about consistency in diet and exercise

protein intake really depends on your goals and its more about the different times a day you intake protein. Thirty grams every three hours has been a general theme for adding muscle but of course everyone's diet and exercise are unique

I think the real question is what are your goals? Why do you want to be physically stronger? I totally understand the running its great for your heart and lifting adds muscle which will help burn more calories but 5x5 is a recipe for injury and it sounds like you already have been injured. I use to lift heavy 1300 lb club…

Were basically bags of water as human beings I wouldn't worry about water weight unless your doing a cut diet for competition or have a medical issue. Keep your sodium levels in check and worry more about your the quality of your caloric intake. My 2 cents

Some of the best leg workouts I have ever had my son was sitting on my shoulders laughing while I did squats..lol I asked my gym owner why he didn't have child care on Sunday's and his response was " No other gyms do why should I"? I said " You can corner the Market" he was to stupid to understand!!

I spent thousands of dollars on gym equipment that doubled for a place to hang my shirts. I do cardio at home on my bike but have to use a gym for legs, chest and back- (I love the gym atmosphere). I'm only capable of hitting my gym three days a week so I do- shoulders and arms at home on Sundays. The one thing I have…

EXCACTLY- my pre-workout has lots in it heres a facts page- I add no3 and another gram of creatine with my vitamins in the am and am at the gym or doing cardio at 5 am. If I drank coffee I would be in the---- well lets not go there--- http://www.cellucor.com/products/50-c4-fourth-generation#faqs

casein protein shake and some nuts is a great before bed snack

My Cardio rocks eating oatmeal but that kills my carbs for the day

Good advice..

I take C4 pre workout before every workout and highly recommend it!! The one thing I would caution is the amount you take on your first try. I would take half a scoop just to see if you can handle it your heart will race a little.. My 2 cents

I 100% agree with this especially the recovery part!! Great advice

If it will get you to workout one more time a week I say go for it.. Anything that motivates you is worth it!!

I still lift weights pretty heavy for a 46 year old in the 1000lb club but ran into a similar problem like you my legs would cramp up doing squats to the point I was on the floor.. I talked to a trainer who recommended doing no weight squats directly after my rides and it worked great. I just do three sets of 25 deep…

This guy hit it on the head you may be eating 150 grams but your body only got 30 grams of protein out of the 150 grams which were converted to future energy needs not future protein needs. Your body can't store protein as a protein which is why people struggle to get enough protein hence eating 6 times a day every three…

a 45 min bike ride is 2 pieces of pizza--

Your comment is just that a comment!! please offer more or its just nothing.. I'm 46 and live at 200lbs 6'1" 9% body fat and people ask me everyday how to diet everywhere I go ask how I do it?? My number one answer is give up alcohol raise protein get into a calorie % diet-Its just math not myth!!!

You can easily bulk on three days a week- I only weight train 3 days a week (6 cardio days a week) and I'm in incredible shape. superset back, chest 30 min (no rest) then 30 min shoulders arms on mon&fri- wednesday do 15 sets of heavy squats 5 sets deadlifts 5 sets stiff legged deadlifts superset the two then isolation…

Ya like most have said if you really want to bulk train heavy, very heavy, get lots of sleep, take in 30-40 grams of protein every three hours and do 50 grams of casein protein before you go to bed its slower digesting. Drink a gallon of water a day at least!!! For your good fats nuts, nut butters nut based milk and…

Protein doesn't store as protein in the body so you need it every three hours to maintain muscle or your body will use your muscle for energy when you diet negative. For someone who eats lie you do I would highly recommend a casein protein just because it takes longer to breakdown in the body hence you will have protein in…

If you want to put on muscle it takes protein at the right time which is all the time- 10 grams every hour or 30 grams every three hours and try to stay in a positive calorie intake of at least 250 calories. I highly recommend 50 grams of casein (slow digesting protein before bed time. The rest is easy just lift weights…

The same time everyday or week or month.

How is the jeep? ..lol--JK I would take a couple days off most people over train and resting is always beneficial!!

I take 137 synthroid and have been working out my entire life with no issues. I currently do 110 miles a week on an exercise bike every week for the last year and lift weights four days a week since I was in high school back in the 80's- I think you will be fine but of course consult your doctor not a forum if your…
