brunch is a combo of 2 meals, why does it need to be low cal? even if someone is only eat 1200 calories, that means their brunch can be 800 calories which is still a respectable brunch with eggs bacon pancakes mimosas, etc

it's going to be very difficult to gain muscle on a deficit beyond the newbie gains. also gaining strength on a deficit will also be hard. just eat at a moderate deficit, start a progressive strength training program like strong lifts,starting strength or another program that focuses on compound lifts and consistently…

i dont do the same thing every day sunday : long run Monday : strength circuit (squats, pullups, pushups, box jumps) + rowing sprint Tuesday : easy run Wednesday: strength circuit (deadlift, cable row, bench press,cable chops)+ hill sprints Thursday: rowing, versaclimber,spin bike friday: strength circuit (power cleans,…

i know right? i think some people traded their additional fat for additional pearls to clutch

i dont understand the need to weigh stuff if you are making it yourself. - put the ingredients in the recipe builder - put the number of servings you intend to get from that recipe and that's it. there shouldnt be a need to weight it again. for instance when i make soups and chili in my crockpot i put all the ingredients…

in addition to flat bench press, give decline bench a try as well

this. if he's old enough to articulate that he doesnt want to go, then he's old enough to articulate why he doesnt want to go. . sorry but just putting it down to my 4 year old doesnt want to go, i dont know why so we're not going to go really makes me question who's the adult in this situation.

the treadmill more than likely isnt going to give you an accurate picture of what your true stride is because you're not propelling yourself forward like normal, but more propelling yourself upwards. i always find that my stride is significantly shorter on the treadmill than IRL. speed is going to be a function of the…

if i'm not mistaken BMI charts were created in the 19th century for white people. back then there were no female athletes for the most part. it also didnt take into account different ethnicities (for instance black and latina women tend to have less risk of osteoporosis than white and asian women because of differences in…

maybe you need to stop focusing on a scale weight and focus on something else like how your clothes fit

i cant tell because i'm fairly irascible to begin with. i totally relate to that snickers godzilla commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bpwmiuwjLo

guiness is good but it's a tough beer to drink if you're going for volume. pilsners are good for volume (pilsner urquell, heineken, radeberger, radegast, stella artois are some of my faves that come in bottles). sam adams has some good options. if you can find that cherry wheat, then try it! it's so good

YES!!! Big boy/girl plates!!!! Congrats! you'll reach your 185 goal in no time :flowerforyou:

i go with makeup, nail polish, books about fitness stuff, massages, clothes (especially workout clothes :love: ), silly coffee mugs, fun socks, etc. i'll save the actual non-workout clothing for bigger loss

long pants or knee socks. if i forget and wear capris with ankle socks then so be it. my shins are all banged, bruised and scarred up from years of dead lifting, being cleated, failed box jumps, etc i dont even feel the bar anymore when i wear short pants :laugh:

seamless bikini briefs because i dont like VPL and yes i'm most certainly working out right :laugh: .. boy shorts turn into things on me because my butt eats them . for race/competition day under armour and panache have comfortable panties that stay put. aaagghh i which they would have had those when i played rugby

i feel sorry for your taste buds .. egg yolk +oil and avocado taste nothing alike :laugh: both are delicious but they dont taste the same

just go with what works for you. keep your goals in mind but just remember that at a calorie deficit you will lose the fat, but you are eventually going to get to a point where you have to rob peter to pay paul so to speak in terms of gaining strength and building muscle.

great job!! and that's a nice reward. i just recently rewarded myself at sephora :laugh:

front squats, goblet squats, bulgarian split lunges with dumbbells, box jumps

- most of the people who think they are doing HIIT really arent - you should already be physically fit before doing HIIT because you are working anaerobically and not everyone can do that - the EPOC from HIIT isnt as fantastic as most of those beachbody dvds claim…

i dont think it matters in terms of calorie burn because the amount of calories you burn are going to be more a matter of how far you go in the amount of time. also, i'm 5'5 and 5.0 is still a walking speed for me so 4.0 is definitely a walk for me

people still ask this question outright? anyway OP you answer with a time you failed at something professionally and follow up with what you learned from the experience. pretty much in all interview questions you should give specific answers with specific examples otherwise people will be able to tell you're BSing

a consistent calorie deficit should just about do it

i tend to listen to pandora when i lift pitbull, major laser, prince, grace jones, or beastie boys ar ethe main stations i listen to

what are your fitness goals? you should pick your routine based on your fitness goals

exactly! I just realized recently that my skirts and dresses are more lifted in the back !! so yay for squats and deadlifts.

i have this theory that how your booty looks (well not just yours but everyone's ) is also affected by your thighs, especially that part of the back of your thighs where they meet the butt. the less of a lift you have there, the flatter your butt will look. also are you looking at yourself in the same outfit? i know i…

this. you can't grow bones i dont care how many berries you eat. strong curves, squats and deadlifts will help you get a round perky booty but it's not going to build up your pelvis and wtf at the people who are horrified by someone wanting 40" hips.

it's normal to slow down in increasing weight after awhile. generally speaking once you reach that point, that's when the true strength training begins :wink: what most people end up doing is switch to something like a 3*5 or 5/3/1 rep/set in order to continue work on building strength. i also like the periodization day…
