  • Okay, I'm not suggesting that someone on this thread is arguing directly on science. I'm suggesting that what they're calling science, dealing with nutrition, isn't a complete understanding. In fact, the nutrition and exercise world is changing so rapidly right now it is just too hard to say whom is correct. And the detail…
  • In fairness, I know you hate this but I'll visit it one last time, we do KNOW that Black Swans are substantially less likely. We do know that IF pink fairies exist they are extremely well hidden, leaving that they likely, very likely, do not. Do I honestly believe leaky gut IS what they say it is? Not sure. I know that…
  • For the record, not hating on vegans or vegetarians. Honestly, I woke up in a mood and was frustrated, so I ranted. By nature I'm easily stirred, which is a crappy trait in my eyes too btw, and I put my thoughts out pretty rapidly. That being said, I actually love people questioning me, getting in my face (especially when…
  • I absolutely like you... Love your response too btw... I was highly bothered reading what people believe to be true but not truly a fact necessarily. My point is based on a great scientist will NEVER stop looking for a Black Swan once he's concluded there are none. From your well put together thoughts, can you say there…
  • The very beginning of this thread
  • Hypotheses is the beginning of evidence. Claims are to be investigated and the only way to prove a point in a scientific method is by not finding contrary evidence. Outrageous claims are deemed such because they do not fall into currently accepted thought. That doesn't cause them to be correct or incorrect. I do concede…
  • Sorry, I HAD TO edit some of it... It was pretty bad in places...lol... Ranting on a Swype based keyboard at 3ish in the morning was/is probably the wrong thing to do. I even hit done and lost it once too. Can't sleep and reading this early on a Saturday morning is probably a bad combination.
  • I love it. The responses in here kill me. My typos and, potential, grammatical mistakes I'll leave in, since I'm not going to re-read this after I've written it (and yet.. I had to re-read myself.. I modified for meaning only however, corrected names and improved for meaning only... I left in the rest)... Though it wasn't…
  • Okay, I've been sitting back and reading but I thought I'd voice this really quickly. I barely do "cardio" as most would call it. I lift weights AT LEAST three days a week, I am for 5 days though. On the calorie listing, which I get from my Microsoft Band, I get around 1300 calories burned in a period of around 75 minutes.…
  • Since bodybuilding.com had been brought up more than once, BodySpace is their app. JeFit is similar to BodySpace in what it is and how it operates. I personally use GymRat which no longer exists on the market. Gymme isn't too bad, Gymprovise is another not too bad app. FitFrame is yet another. Most of the better apps cost…
  • Kick backs (donkey kicks as my bud calls them)... There really is a ton of exercises to play with. My knees suck but I love doing leg workouts. I can't do five squats with just the bar without fairly major joint pain. But (with the right wraps on), I'm doing: Leg press 705 4x6 Standing Calf Raises (Smith) 475 4x15 Stiff…
  • Those are the tried and true programs. I personal have almost always written my own. But, Michael Matthews has a pretty good program as well. He's got a few books to gander at so.. another pretty good program that you can look at.
  • I somewhat answered this in your other post...
  • There are a few like programs that are floating out there as well. Cool goals and not bad staying number either. Friend me if you wanna since I'd love to hear of your progress.
  • You've got some good advice already but I'll give you some of my thoughts on it. Working with a good trainer will push you. It'll help you understand what you're doing on lifts etc. Working with a great trainer will give you results dealing with what your goals are. Working with a poor trainer could get you hurt or push…
  • It is a form of circuit training. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. The way it works is you coast for something like two minutes and then go full out for like thirty seconds, times change depending on levels of ability to do. It sounds like you're doing intervals but not HIIT. Intervals meaning that you're…
  • Really intense though only 25 minutes
  • Add away... More curious about what others are doing but anyone can add me if they wanna
  • Only thing I'll add is, get educated on nutrition. There are a lot of good books on the topic. I'm a big believer in what I call a modified low carb diet. The problem is DIET Plans just mess up your body. It's about life style. Me, not a vegetarian and don't believe it's the right way to eat. My person belief is it causes…
  • Just be careful you don't get what's referred to as skinny fat. Not that dieting without exercise makes you such but you are MUCH more prone to it when you go that route.
  • Okay, here are somethings not mentioned about the above. Work muscles from biggest to smallest. Example of poor setup in lifting is on your push day. Flat bench is great but doing military press between it and incline is a mistake. Shoulders, anterior head, are used on ALL pushing exercises. I also would relocate your…
  • Not that I need to share but you REALLY want your fats higher and your proteins down, carbs aren't a NEEDED input but make food a bit more fun. You could go as high as 70% fats and 30% proteins but I personally wouldn't. If you're working out hard, weights, then I'd keep carbs up around workouts and cut most of them out…
  • This is one of the reasons I always say watch the mirror not the scale. Don't get me wrong, the scale IS a tool but who cares as long as you look great and feel great? Let's be real.
