If you can keep your potassium higher then your sodium that will help offset it. It's what I do. ;)

Goal is to be 230 lbs under 15% bf. 214 lbs at 12.1% at the momoment!

Words to live by!

I personally don't eat fruit and get what I need through lots of vegetables. A sugar spike for me causes a crash which I can't have when I work alot and try to stay away from caffeine. I don't get to much into what articles and research says 100%. Like myself in all the years I use my own body as the true test. Trial and…

Fantastic! Great work!

I slow way down with how active I'm am when bulking. You always need to be in a surplus so try to burn as few calories as you can ;)

Yes like they said really no need for that much. That's more like what I do and I weigh 220.

41 with 5 kids add me if you'd like

Sorry no. I meant I spend an hour on chest/tris one day back/biceps another not all in one day.

Staying to natural non processed foods consistently has helped. If I choose to eat out of that window I immediately notice fatigue and become tired. I know my body pretty well from testing different foods and the reactions it will have. It's predictably ;)

I don't ever spend more then a hour. I do more of a bodybuilding routine. Hit all muscle groups in those 4 days. Day one I would do something like a chest exercise then go directly to a smaller muscle the rest 60 seconds repeat.

Added ;)

I only ask because someone like me who works 12 hours a day 6 days a week with 5 kids and try to workout 4 days a week with maybe 6 hours sleep a night I found it to be my diet. Made a big difference with my energy levels.

Is there a change in food? Something your taking? Excess of caffeine?

Absolutely yes! It's needed for sanity and keeping up with the lifestyle change long term ;)

Thinks maybe it's pinched nerve in neck from muscle swelling why the medication and said to get adjusted. So far no relief.

Tap hold down delete entry ;)

Eat! Relax with a movie!

For me I'm strict 5 days a week weeks on end so when I do my body doesn't know what really to do with it so doesn't effect me much. Buffets of any kind get me!

Once a week same time always to be consistent and track my body fat so I know what kind of weight I'm losing or gaining.

Yes I have! I herniated two lower disks and had taken a year and a half off. My back will never be the same. The key is to keep your core strong which will support this and stay away from heavy weight bearing exercises the put pressure on the spine. I've been working around this for fours years now and doing great. Let me…

Minnesota.

This is what I have been doing for some time now. I float between 14% to 8% averaging around 216 lbs. I started out small and my goal was to get bigger. I've put on 30 lbs of lean muscle over a course of 10 years of on and off dieting and training. Feel free to ask questions if you'd like more details. Your post brings…

Excellent job! Definitely noticeable; )

I'm open. Pretty routine but if you have any questions feel free to ask ;)

Yes sorry not majority lol. I myself among others have tried the low card to no carb diet. What I see a lot of times without the proper knowledge on doing this and a balance of your nutrition and not tracking what your actually losing being body fat or water or muscle. They read about it and just drop carbs which leads to…

If only eating eating it once or so a week I definitely wouldn't worry about it ;)

Minnesota

Yes I know. Has nothing to do with that. A good friend of mine had same test on his 25 year daughter. Energy drink aside research high dose of caffeine and b vitamins mixed together and taking at one time and the effects on heart. I respect your input but seems your focus is on the anti energy drink part then all the other…

Was only trying to say there's healthier alternatives the to trick your body into thinking there's a sugar source coming that the body would naturally turn into energy hence a crash possibly. When doing this often enough your body learns not to use real sugar properly therefore creating less energy effect whichin turn you…
