lifting weights and endurance running aren't the same thing, the energy pathways used for the two sports are totally different. look at a sprinter and then look at an endurance runner, muscle grow to loads placed on them over a set amount of time. We both know that the body "cannibalizes" protein, what does that have to do…

not exactly a tennis match seeing as how the other person is offering bad information, with no results as a merit.
-
First of all the discussion went from why people should/shouldn't eat protein to ketosis/endurance and how protein is broken down. SO, again to reiterate, both type 1 and type 2 muscles have glycogen, and endurance runners look emaciated due to lack of type 2 muscle(which grows the fastest, thus occupies more space).…

Shakes are good, but good whole protein is better, i use a combination of both to reach a high calorie post workout meal...upwards of 1700 cals which is also my breakfast too.

*sigh* here it goes: Go to this website: http://www.shapefit.com/basal-metabolic-rate.html calculate your daily calorie needs...then figure out how many days a week your going to go to the gym for a workout. Workout days (carbs 40%, protein 40-50%, fat 10-20%), make sure your biggest meal is right after your workout.…

a healthy breakfast can be anything actually, as long as you meet the net calories you set for yourself. Your body can't tell the difference between "healthy" and "unhealthy", it just sees all foods as a source of energy. Sometimes I even go for a donut as long as i know its nutritional contents, and can fit it into my…

first find out how much your body needs daily, then subtract a good 200-400 calories from it, expect that subtracted number to be your "low" day, which is to be your daily calories on the days you DON'T go to the gym. the link below might help you calculate much better http://www.shapefit.com/basal-metabolic-rate.html

my motivation is alot of things, first i was offered a photoshoot for a magazine if i got in better shape, second i wanna set a record as a powerlifter for my weight class which takes nothing but hard training. Everytime i feel like crap like i cant train, i imagine how great it would feel to step on stage and set a record…

-

i hate those long runs, but hiit is pretty good, i have a 10 interval program of 1:1 of work/rest. its a good way to preserve muscle and lose fat. it even helps lower body reactivity if done right.
-
its actually casein that has that effect

pretty face

threw myself over the bench press trying to get dumbells that weigh more than my own body weight up lol i swung them too high...luckily not alot of people there seemed to care
-
its ok actually, i am allowed to eat a large cheesecake every 3 weeks all to myself :) i think i look respectively lean even though
-
nice i was thinking about trying a dating site out too, which one did you use? its just getting ridiculous trying to find the right girl to date
-
i like a good challenge...lets see what you have to say about my food diary

people get overworked about the littlest things on here...not to be rude, but asking for advice on here isnt a good thing to do because more or less its probably not "professional" advice. if your going to hinge your baby and your health on someones advice make sure its a credible source at the very least like a doctor.…

7, like your smile

haha unfortunately they should know, cuz we work in hospital pharmacy. I think its just ignorance

coming from someone getting their personal trainer certification(hopefully soon), heart rate is not a very good way to calculate calorie expenditure. it is like a crap shoot to be honest, but there are certain things it can tell you, for example any signs of overtraining can be picked up from keeping the same workout, but…
-
thank you! :) i still have a long way to go to get to the body that i want, thank you for your support!
-
Lol well if you leg press 1000 pounds your legs will look like that. Overall I'm proud of my change :)
-
nice! raidernation ftw! but on a more serious note, no, you are more likely to follow through if u start now, how do you think you don't have the motivation? its more likely that you haven't found what drives you, when you do you can do pretty much anything, trust me i know. i was trying to lose weight for 3 years, still…
-
166! i dont mind telling people what i weigh, even before i was like that but since losing weight and all putting muscle on im proud to tell them how much i weigh
-
id recommend you evaluate your posture and arithrokinetics before you get into lifting, because its easier to get injuries and overload joints even with smaller weights. as for the increase in weight, muscle weighs more, but most likely its from your muscles getting filled up with glycogen post workout, and it also depends…
