I didn't log it I logged everything else and my exercises. I felt good about it. Didn't over do it and splitting it in half with the wife turned out just right for both of us.

2000g before breakfast 2000g before workout 2000g before bed. I have also taken 2000g after a real intense work. Works better when taken with intense workouts. I used it in the past to make weight when I was competing in power lifting. It does work but you need to be on a low carb high protein diet and exercise.

Everyone says log but how do you log half a meal. At best your guessing how many grams. Each item is. The meal was 1/2 tamale 1/2 green chile cheese enchilada 1/2 chile relleno 1 beef taco 1/2 green chili beef 1/2 Spanish Rice 1 refried beans

I'm not talking about a hard cardio. Just an increase of my resting heart rate from 60 to no higher than 109. Being retired I got get the physical activity like I use to. It's not about burning calories. It's about booting the heart rate for short periods of time through out the day.

I am having the same problem. I am retired so I workout in the morning. I going to do another 30 minute cardio in the afternoon see if that doesn't kick start my metabolism.

I used exercise to help me quit smoking back in the late 80s. One of the gym members talked me into trying powerlifting. Didn't take me long to get hooked. Competed with NASA for 10 years till work responsibilities got to were I could train enough. Competed in 135 up to 165. Set a few State records in the squat. I guess…

Mine is open

I am lifting 5 days a week 1 body part per day. I do 15min cardio before and after Mon, Wed, Fir and Sat. 30 min HIIT Tue and Thu. I go heavy for the first 2 exercises the main lifts are in the 4-6 rep range. Then 2-3 assistant exercises depending on body part. these are in the 10-12 rep range.

I have found that lets me target my biceps and triceps. If I combine biceps with back and triceps with chest. Then they are already pumped and tired. I can do a heavier wieght and take them to total failure better. Otherwise they fail sooner.

Heavy EZ curls 4 sets of 6-8 last set to failure Dips 4 sets of 6-8 last set to failure Tricep press 4 sets of 6-8 last set to failure Bicep Blaster EZ Curls 4 sets of 6-8 last set to failure Bicep Cable 27s 3 sets Tricep Push Downs 3 sets of 8-10

I've used it in the past to make weight when I was powerlifting. Once in the morning before workout and again before bed.

Squared 370 @ a body weight of 155 back when I was competing as in power lifting

When you say not weighing everything in grams it is either grams or oz. I use the diary as an estimate. I try to stay at least 200 under my 1650. I do not eat back all my calories. It depends on what now intense my workout was. I workout in the morning after breakfast. I have started doing 30min cardio before and after my…

I use everything just depends on what I am working. I like lat pulldowns and seated rows. Tricep push downs I will do bicep 21s. I find that a combination of free weights weight machines and cable machines help me take my muscles to total failure

All of the above

Like everyone one else some but not all I try to stay about 500 under my recommend calories and above protein. I need to get as close to 166g for protein. So far I haven't hit the wall. When that happens. I increase my intake a little.

I have found that my HIIt has really helped with my weight training. It doesn't take me as long to recover between sets since I have started and that includes squats and DL. I am doing 15min of cardio before and after workouts Mon Wed and Fri HIIT Tue and Tru and the one in on either Sat or Sun

I have found that doing HITT cardio has helped with my weight training. I have more energy and I recover faster between sets.

If your doing it correctly you should just barely be able to complete the last rep of the last set. Once you can compete that last rep with no trouble it's time to increase the weigh. I have found that the soreness isn't quite as bad once I have been doing the same workout for awhile. That's were the old saying no pain no…

I forget what they call them. But before your first set clasp your hands together under your chin and squat. Your elbows should be on the insides of your knees. You can also do this with a kettle bell. Also make sure your toes are pointed out a little. That release the hips.

Yep just like everyone has said. There isn't a spot exercise for fat lose. Diet and exercise That's the only way. Check out Bodybuilding.com. they have a lot of good programs.

You didn't say how much L Carnitine you are taking. When I've used it in the past I got the best results by taking 2000mg first thing in the morning. Another 2000mg before my workout and again after. I would use it on a low carb high protein diet. To make weight for a powerlifting meet. I would only do this for 2 weeks and…

Deadlifts squats and bench those are your 3 big compound exercises that are a must. I urge you to google them and see the correct form to use. Like squats if done wrong they can do as much harm as good. When I hear people say they hurt there back I know they are doing them wrong. I have done both for years and have no…

OK that makes sense. Tried to change it but I'm using the free version so can't make any changes like that. I'M just going by the totals that it list.

I'VE seen it time and again people start bouncing every rep. When I was powerlifting you would get a red light if you drop the weight. Ask the gym to get a mat big enough to completel extended past the plates. Not just the little squares I have seen at so many gym's. You can't blame the gym. There is a lot if expense…

You are just about the same as I am I am 185lb started at 189. I workout 7 days a week with a HITT workout every 3rd day I am on a 1650 cal intake with as close to 166g of protein a day. Your intake can not support your calorie burn. The whole reason I joined My fitness was to track my calories and so far it has been…

Don't let yourself be intimidated by what other people look like. You are there for one reason that's to workout not socialize. Most people feel the same way about that. I've gone to the gym off and on for years. Sometimes my belly is flat some times it sticks out but I am busy working out and that's all I think about.

Strength

That's what I am going too but on my phone. Just curious as to why none of the exercises come up and I have to enter them each time. Guess by the time I have a month in I"all mist of my exercises on my list.

After but only on days that have a shorter workout. When I'm on a heavy workout then it's on off days or not at all. When I am going hard and heavy I will do 15 min cardio before and 15 after
