  • Find an established strength training program, that instructs you in reps/sets/weights/progression. How long you spend in the gym will depend on the type of program you're doing. A good workout could be 20 minutes, it could be 2 hours, depending on what you're doing.
    in Strength Training Question Comment by koyongi December 2012
  • I leaned out on a 16/8 split, but put on weight overall. If I didn't ever need to make weight for various sports, I wouldn't care. But, I started out pretty lean and I'm a strength athlete, so it's probably a results-not-typical.

  • Moving Comfort, Moving Comfort, Moving Comfort. Cute, reasonable prices, heavy duty.

  • This. Find a store that carries the Moving Comfort line (try a good running store), or find them online and try a couple out. They have some incredibly heavy duty ones, and they're super cute.

  • Just don't do the same thing every time. If you're not progressing (either adding weight, or reps, or time, or less rest, etc.), then you're...not progressing. Depending on your goals, there could be a lot of ways you can push yourself. Do more than you did last time. And when you can't do that, try something new.

  • If your measurements are staying the same but your weight is going up, chances are good you're gaining muscle. That's rarely a bad thing.
    in same measurements, increased weight!!!! Comment by koyongi July 2012
  • As mentioned above, soreness is not necessarily a requirement, or even desirable, to make progress. If you're just starting off and you're going pretty light, you may or may not get sore. If you don't, that's fine, and if you do, it will likely lessen as you progress. Measure your progress based on your goals, not on…

  • FWIW, if you do any sports where you'll get drug tested, stay away.
    in 7-Keto Comment by koyongi April 2012
  • The suggested range is pretty much always too low unless you reset it. 1g protein per pound BW is good, more than that is better. You're not going to run into problems unless you're like 3x that, or the amount of protein you're getting is causing you to get too many calories (calories from protein can still be turned to…
    in Too much protein? Comment by koyongi March 2012
  • As long as it's yummy, then absolutely. It looks like a pretty quality protein, but probably a little overpriced for what you're getting. Bulking is a matter of hormones, workout style, and getting enough protein along with a caloric surplus. Unless you've got all of those, you've got nothing to worry about. More protein…

  • Don't get too wrapped up in BMI and what is "overweight". Most any woman can be perfectly healthy at 154 pounds. Focus more on how you feel and what your goals are, not some arbitrary number that only applies to "average" people, when nobody's average. On the other hand, though, don't ignore what others around you are…
    in Minor rant...do you get the "stop losing weight" comment Comment by koyongi November 2011
  • It all depends on how much muscle you have. If you're in the 120s and still don't see definition, get yourself to the local weight room ASAP! Personally, at 5'2", I carry a LOT of muscle, so I had definition at 140 at around 24%BF. At 130 and 19%, I've got a full-on six pack. If definition is what you're looking for, I'd…
