  • There are conflicting opinions and studies - like with everything - but I have been adding glutamine to my post-workout shake and seem to have noticed less aching/soreness and quicker recovery. May not work for everyone but it seems to for me so am going to stick with it. Also agree with poster re: cardio who said that the…
  • If you're doing a lot of plyo and lateral movements, I would suggest that you look into a good pair of cross-trainers. I was using running shoes and realized I didn't have enough stability when moving side to side, jumping, etc. There are a few out there but they were harder to find than I thought they'd be...
  • Wow - those BB classics were great songs and videos...back when MTV actually PLAYED VIDEOS! The "East Coast Family" always takes me back to my HS days and I can still be caught humming/singing to myself different verses of "Motownphilly", "Poison" "Iesha" or "Playground"...although I try and be discrete about it. Early…
  • Good question and hopefully someone way smarter than me will answer. My guess is that the creatine won't hurt the weight loss, except it would help with building more muscle through resistance training...so you may gain weight but I would guess it's the good kind! *shrug*
  • Dallas Running Club (dallasrunningclub.com) has several events and you can join for cheap, then just need to volunteer once. Many of their events are at White Rock Lake which may be a drive for you. I would also recommend active.com because they have weekly 5k's around the metroplex and many are organized by running clubs.…
  • Agreed. Almond milk or rice milk have been fine for me. I also hear soy is bad for boys. Good luck!
  • happens to me quite a bit and i eat more if i'm hungry. i dont if i am not. as long as you are not consistently way under (e.g. less than 1200), i dont think its a big deal.
  • for me, i like to grab a shake after i workout...chocolate whey powder, 1/2 banana and 1tbsp of almond butter. its around 30g of protein with the whey powder i use, tastes pretty good and sweet and helps rebuild the muscles. egg whites are also great as others have suggested and have been doing 2 eggs worth of them, a…
  • No expert but I don't think it's bad. I've been under by 200-400 on most heavy cardio days but am still around 1600-1800 calories for the day. I am not hungry and am hitting my numbers in most other positive areas (e.g. protein, low sugar, low fat). I think it's more of a problem when you're consistently way under…
