Is Apple watch better than fitbit?

Hi

I put 10 day challenges to my friends, follow me boys and girls!

I am a senior corporate executive, I want to look stellar in my designer Calvin Klein & Hugo Boss suits. Period. I took professional guidance from an international & Australian bodybuilding coach-Glen, he made a diet plan for me and I followed it to the 't' without a single cheat meal. It took me 45 days. I ran 6km in the…

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED :blush:

Results - No muscle lost, Fat percentage dropped by 5%. I am fitting into my 40 inch shoulder Calvin Klien suit perfectly now. Thank you all for helping me to accomplish my mission. If you want to know how I did it, feel free to ask as I am happy to share what I learnt.

I went to my coach and told him I want to loose suit size and improve my silhouette to a more hollywood look. I will update my results, I am excited. Muscles cant be lost, they can be wasted or depleted of glycogen as muscle memory is a neural process.

I spoke to my coach about my goals. He suggested that I focus on swimming, cardio, lots of core workout and continue with my low-calorie plant-based diet. He was the Australian National Bodybuilding champion some years back. He told me to stay away from weight training if my short-term goal is to fit into my 40" jacket. I…

Guys, have you noticed that when you are trying to loose weight & you hear about proteins, resistance training etc. and you kinda get side tracked and start chugging protein shakes which in turn slow your weight loss? That's happening to me from many years, so now my eyes are on the ball. First get to 8% body fat and BMI…

Yes I have lost weight. I am seeing a coach to develop a tailored workout plan. I need to lift weights so that I dont loose my muscle mass.

Going to see a bodybuilding coach today.

Thanks, I will try my best!

As a male I can tell you that body shape (waist thinner than hips) is a big plus as its a primal thing and triggers male brain (something explodes in the man's head when you see good waist to hip ratio). Sexy thick and sexy thin are both fine as long as the waist is small. The key is waist ratio.

I got two weeks to work on my fitness and diet. 18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 July -18 days...18 swimming sessions of 2 hours each = 36 hours of swimming..lots of core workout - 10 mins x 18 = 180 milutes of jump rope, 100 squats per day x 18 = 1800 squats. 18 gym sessions of 1 hour each.…

2.5 kg = 1 inch reduction

I just came home from the mall, went to Burberry and Hugo Boss stores for trying suits besides Myer. I tried a 42-inch shoulder jacket today. It fits well but to get more tapered cut at the waist I got to lose 5 kg weight = 1 inch from waist I guess. My plan is to exercise more, eat less carbs, do more walking, and…

Thanks friends, your suggestions are very helpful. I'm going to the mall to buy 2 suits for the event. I will try and let you know. I found that however I gained muscle on a muscle building program, i also gained mass over midsection by doing heavy lifting. Hence now my workouts are more cardio based, and eating low…

I'm 178cms

The 90s era of pumping iron look is over now, its all about proportions and creating a silhouette with outspoken vascularity in a casual look. But for someone who has put real muscle and is trying to trim/tone down - its not an easy thing as diet is the key to a lean look.

They are my pics but from last year when I was lighter and weighed 155 pounds. I went through Lazar Angelov's bodybuilding plan and bulked up to 190 pounds muscle. Now I am trying to cut to fit into my dress shirts & suits. I realised that being big and muscular doesn't help when you are trying to look…

Thanks guys, I really appreciate every advice. I can only try & shrink my frame through hard work, cardio, diet and the rest is up to mother nature & genetics.

Thanks @brneydgrlie I will try and cut starchy foods.

After winning Mr Olympia at 270 pounds, Arnold Schwarzenegger dropped his frame to 210 pounds within record time to play Conon. That's a reference from popular culture. Now tell me ... it can't be done?

I disagree respectfully based on scientific evidence

Organic or non-organic - as long as its not ina packet with preservatives and added sugar, I'm cool with it. :smile:

You are a female and can appreciate aesthetics better than my gender I guess. 'Bulky' proportions whether muscle or fat - simply look bulky/big/heavily built/stocky/thickset when you wear clothes. In my opinion, if someone tells you that drink a protein shake, have insulin spike (makes you hungry) and get 24 g of proteins…

@100_PROOF_ Well look at all bodybuilders post-retirement - If you studied Kreb cycle, and understand glucogenesis and gluconeogenesis - you will see a pattern of muscle wasting due to inactivity.. Yes bulky muscles (aquired from activities and diet that you cant maintain long term) & if not exercised long-term turn to…

Buy egg whites in liquid form and use them with frozen blueberries. Eat whole foods. Remember everyone's body metabolism will slow down. If you take proteins - you will get great results. But think about life - when you will stressed and stop working out - protein turned muscles turn bulky... So keep your weight low and…
