    in Roll Call! Where are you from? Comment by BigPatrickB November 2016
  • Lately I've been a fan of a thing of Carbmaster (aka Greek) yogurt, a piece of dry Double Fiber toast and a banana before a workout. I do 70 minutes of cardio plus I lift heavy free weights for 20-30 sets and that gets me through the whole thing no problem. The yogurt digests easily so it keeps the queasy stomach feelings…

  • If you want to build muscle without losing as much fat you are in a VERY delicate situation. You can build muscle by increasing your protein intake and lifting heavier weights and cutting back a bit on the cardio (hard cardio tends to use muscle for energy once your immediate stores of glycogen have been used up--if you do…

  • I've been known to do some heavy squats to "Mmmbop" by Hansen and I'm not afraid to admit it. Okay, maybe a little afraid . . .

  • Me too. But I gutted it out and burned 919 calories so now I get to eat whatever I want for dinner. Hooray!

  • Hey, I used to wear a bandana to the gym because I thought it looked cool when I was 17. Then I realized that most of the things I did when I was 17 were stupid and I wasn't a pirate (much to my dismay) and a hat would serve many of the same functions without the *kitten* overtones of the bandana wrapped around my dome.…

  • I have a buddy who is a hard-gainer and he had the same issues. The things he did to put on muscle were to attempt to eat 1-2 grams of protein for every pound of bodyweight he wanted to be. He ended up having to break up his meals into 7 or 8 per day and every 2-3 hours he had to have a can of tuna, 4-6 ounces of chicken,…
    in Gaining 7 lbs of muscle? Comment by BigPatrickB October 2011
  • I listen to all different genres of music from "Mmmbop" by Hanson to Motown, hardcore rap and metal, but the best music tip I can recommend is to build a playlist on your iPod and then only look at your time remaining for your cardio at the end of every song. That way you're not watching the clock every 10 seconds…
    in I need some suggestions please! Comment by BigPatrickB October 2011
  • On days when I train my back or my legs I have an insatiable appetite. I train with pretty heavy weights for the most part, and the night after I lift and the whole next day I just want to eat everything I see. Luckily I tend to go for more protein-based foods, but when I see the calories I ingest in real numbers on this…
