Haha. I can take a punch. What they call in the fight world, "having a beard".

Speaking of tats, how about tit for tat. Women can't grow beards, but they can be beards. So post some pictures of yourselves and make them sexy. You have to be believable. In this cruel, intolerant world, your picture just might help keep some gay guy's secret and protect his livelyhood. Or at least that was the best…

No. What he is saying is that at rest, like sleeping, or doing nothing, your body is getting the energy it needs to function from fat. You are burning bodyfat to keep your base metabolism. If you are up and around and doing things, your body starts using other energy pathways that burn glycogen to a greater extent. Your…

This thread is weird. No girl has ever told me they thought my beard was attractive. I don't like beards that much but I absolutely hate shaving so I let it grow. I just realized I don't know how to post a picture so I guess you can look at my profile picture.

I try to hit my goals every day, but I focus most on looking at the weekly average, week after week. Long-term consistency is the key. I'm sure you have days where things work out that you eat more than your goal, so it probably averages out. I also think looking at it weekly helps those who don't live a 9-5, steady, 24…

The funny thing is, if I had just seen you write this I would have probably said, "Fxck yeah! Just hitting it with everything you got is more important than worrying about failing because you chose peptopro over whey isolate or vise versa for your periworkout shake, and other paralysis by analysis. Quit talking endlessly…

Hahaha. Looking at this thread overall, I feel like my objection to how one aspect of the statement, "a calorie is a calorie" was misrepresenting and would be misunderstood, turned an original post that is a pretty good piece of advice for the people who come here looking to begin their muscle gaining journey, into a…

I pretty much agree with what you are saying, particularly when it comes to people just starting to try to lose or gain weight(like most on this site). However, I get annoyed when one of the first things thrown at them is that calories are all that count. The composition of those calories, or when they are eaten don't…

I'm glad you posted this. It explains a few concepts I was trying and apparently failing to get across.

I really don't feel like answering every question, or comment. Maybe later. The whole point I have been trying to make is that saying that eating more or less calories than you burn to gain or lose weight and then stopping there and saying that beyond a little difference in macro percentages, nothing else matters, is…

By body composition, we are both talking about muscle vs fat gain right? I am. Eating the donuts every day will spike insulin more, and do it when you have eaten more calories than you can burn so over time you will be slightly fatter with slightly less muscle. Also, I eat 5000 calories a day, and I can eat 1000 calories…

I'm not posting studies and I'm not criticizing your tier. What I am saying is that for body composition, it matters where those calories come from. You don't seem to distinguish between different kinds of carbs. Would you really claim that someone would have the same physique outcome by eating a thousand calories a day of…

The original post sucked. This is a good one.What you eat effects body composition too, not just how much you eat. The timing and frequency matters too. Different people respond differently to the same foods. A person responds differently to the same amount of calories from different foods. One simple example is insulin…

Doing a new exercise works your muscles in a different way that your body is not used to. It may mean those muscles are weak or simply that they were worked in a different enough plane and/pr angle, ROM, weight set and rep scheme, whatever, to make them do something they are not used to, and make them sore. I still don't…

I used to make a shake with whole milk, protein powder, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and a little table sugar. It tasted amazing. I could drink a 16-20oz shake anytime. If I felt full, I would drink it because it tasted so good and just get a little fuller.You would have to figure out the amount of ingredients for your…

Track your calories and be consistent. People trying to lose weight always say they don't eat that much, but when you track it they are overeating. Same with gaining weight. I've heard "I eat a ton, I'm constantly eating" so many times, but when you track it for awhile, it averages out to simply be the daily average…

If you are so thin you don't have your . and it's not because you are an elite athlete, your plan sounds good. You are fasting while you sleep, obviously, so it makes sense to load up on nutrients before bed if your main goal is simply gaining weight. If you start gaining weight and don't like the fat:muscle ratio you can…

Technically meat has tiny amounts of naturally occurring sugar in it. Not enough to label, but since this thead is kind of an academic exercise, now you know.

I need to eat, but I don't feel like it. I need to read, but I don't want to. F--k the rest of my thoughts, they're all bad.

Yes, I could go a day without eating anything. That isnt really the point though. Really, you only need to focus on reducing refined, added sugar, or eating less carbs if that helps your goal.

Generally you would ask "free weights or machines?" Both, unless your goal is very specific or you have physical limitations. Acrually to start, free weights most of the time. Keep reading, researching, and learning. The question shows inexperience and lack of basic lifting knowledge. Nonetheless, always keep asking…

Haha, maybe getting to 300 will be harder. Maybe not. Those are big jumps in strength in the bench. I dont think his squat and deadlift are that bad, it's just his bench is so strong for only lifting 6mo.

Good job. Have you lifted heavy before? I mean are you regaining strength or did you just start lifting this year? If you just started those are impressive gains in strength. I agree with knee wraps or sleeves, and get form coaching from someone knowledgeable. With the popularity of powerlifting and an explosion in…

Do what YOU want. People probably first think of disease when you lose weight because they can't imagine doing the work and rarely see people make significant positive physique changes. Make sure you ARE healthy, lift weights so you don't just look skinny, but fit. Tell your husband you appreciate the concern, but you're…

I think it's just set up so you watch total fat calories and don't get too much from saturated fat. Yes, unsaturated fats are good. Just watch your total fat intake and try to get as much of it from unsaturated, non-hydrogenated sources as possible. Ignore the zeroes and overages it shows on your nutrition breakdown.

Human Mastication "Unparalleled Perversion" It's slam/grind from the Philippines. Now, Blue Eyed Devils "F-cked" I'm lifting, so it has to be hateful, brutal, and fast.

The trainer is supposed to motivate you, you aren't supposed to have to motivate them just to show up! You did good sticking up for yourself. Hopefully you get a trainer who trains people because they love it, not just because it's their job.

Does he know your history? Is he in shape? He may be saying things playfully, but I bet he feels more strongly about it than he lets on. Just some thoughts, I don't know what you should do.

Sorry, didn't mean to. I totally think you are swell and will die of autoerotic asphyxiation. Or a staph infection. Got ya twice.

Dude, you know estrogen is really the RAGE hormone. Now I'm fairly certain my death will have something to do with that comment.
