Why only the upper body? You will be unbalanced and disproportionate symmetrically if you only train the upper body.

Lower carbohydrates and raise protein percentages. 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. Are you on any supplements for weight loss?I have Alphamine pre-workout but getting a few bottles of OxyMax XT and SlinMax XT soon.

MFP accounts for the calories burned through daily activity and exercise, even moreso if you pair the app with a fitness watch. If he is burning 800 calories per day, MFP will adjust it to a total of 2000 calories to account for the calories burned.

Check if you have enough calories to account for your total amount of exercise and TDEE. Keep your protein intake, amino acids, leptin and ATP levels high throughout the day. Also, be careful not to lose the muscle you have built. Are you doing sports specific training and training to improve athletic ability and…

He may be seeing more definition and striations in the muscle because of the weight loss or lower bodyfat percentage which can often make someone appear more muscular even though they may be losing overall size and mass from their cut.

Hey, Jacq! Lots of programs out there are focused on weight loss and not getting stronger with progressive calisthenics. Without progressive resistance by adding more weight, you will stall with weight training. With Calisthenics training, we focus on more advanced progressions of an exercise to stimulate new strength…

Look into powerlifting or strongwoman if you wish to pack on large amounts of weight and build maximal strength. You won’t be gaining 20 to 30lb of muscle in 30 weeks.

Looks awesome, thank you.

BSN Syntha-6 or Scitec Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Professional are both incredible but more expensive than your run of the mill MyProtein powders.

Have you been tested for intolerances and allergies? Perhaps it isn’t the carbohydrates but an intolerance to lactose or a sugar. There are many factors and a registered dietician can help you to identify why you feel lethargic on higher carbohydrates.

I lost 27lbs through a lot of hard work! Did both Core De Force from Beachbody and Boxer Prime from Darebee.

This is awesome, thank you.

Do the HIIT or conditioning WOD after your power lifts.

Also, check out Ethan Suplee. He lost a lot of weight and does a lot of weight training.

I would say Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe with extended rest periods and light walks each day since your joints will have to adapt. Many of the beachbody and commercial routines focus on high intensity interval training and plyometrics which can injure you if you are heavy and they often aren’t designed for maximal…

It is incredible to have a coach there and it does give you the motivation to train and compete with others on the DVD. Core De Force was one of my favourites! I love how P90X and how Tony focuses on different aspects of athleticism, he built the foundation of my own athleticism.

Hey, Brian. That’s fair enough, mate. I was only mentioning brands that are neutral and friendly for beginner runners as I am not too sure of the distances she is running. For me, I wear my Reebok Nano X for daily runs but I only run 2 to 3 miles a day and also wear them for agility training, sprints and other cross…

Layne Norton covers a lot of information on recomp and it is an advanced bodybuilding technique for people that have built muscle. Instead of crosstraining and doing isolation exercises for hours a day, choose a beginner routine. Starting Strength, StrongLifts or ICF 5x5. You are doing what I did for years by doing random…

ASICS Gel-Quantum 360 Knit or Asics Gel Kayano 24.

Awesome info! I love a flat or somewhat flat heel, either wear my Nano X trainers or a pair of barefoot shoes.

I do stretch #5 as a shrug for a minute. I do each stretch for a minute, 30 seconds per side on the stretches with two sides. I have seen increases in my flexibility which has transferred over to my training on the still rings but with anything, take care when stretching if you are new to flexibility training and if you…

The workouts are metabolic conditioning and people can see weight loss with the programs but they do not teach progression, technique, form, and periodization which will teach much more to the beginner than jumping around for an hour.

Set your protein ratio to 40 to 50% while gradually reducing your sugars. Don’t have too many carbs before bed or in the evening. Stop intermittent fasting for now and spread out your nutrients over the day rather than starving throughout the day. 1700 calories is for cutting and you will begin to lose weight, both fat and…

Dynamic stretching pre-workout, static stretching post-workout. Also, fish oil and cissus will lower the intensity of joint symptoms.

Overhead flexibility and mobility play factors in why the overhead press is much more difficult due to the opposing contractile forces. It is an exercise that requires posterior chain development and this can be developed with drills. https://www.t-nation.com/videos/6-weeks-to-superhero-overhead-complex
