Here are some of the top rated products for various reasons. Some people prefer a mixture of proteins IE: Whey, soy and casein. Others are concerned more about cholesterol, calories or sugar content. Still others, high grade purity with little or no additives. So it is always best to first define your needs and intent on…

@XD2005 The first recipe mentions - serve (3 slices per person). 2nd - 1 cup diced cooked skinless white-meat chicken 3d - 1 cup diced cooked skinless dark-meat chicken 4th - 1 cup diced cooked skinless dark-meat chicken 5th - 1/2 cup diced cooked skinless white-meat chicken

Great advice and I certainly agree with your prospective. My oldest son is a professor and teaches bio/chemistry courses and also manages the universities laboratory. He has done his own studies on many supplements especially those related to building muscle, he himself having been a competitive body builder and now a…

Just wanted to thank everyone for their comments and support. Should any of you want to check out my other posts or add me as a freind that would be awesome :wink:

Great Emilia, let me know how it works out for you :smile:

Delayed muscle onset soreness (DMOS) is still a work in progress as far as most credible research I have read concludes. One of the basic agreements seems to be muscle tearing primarily created by the eccentric movement of a repetition. However, from a personal training standpoint, my clients experience this after almost…

@Z_I_L_L_A - It is for everyone but you are right power lifters would find this low. My oldest son began weight lifting at 16, body building competition at 19. Today 20 years after beginning he benches over 400 and leg presses over 1,600 and weighs about 220. He still usually trains with professional body builders and…

Sorry I did not include the source. I was having so much trouble trying to format the post I deleted everything I could out of frustration.

Can't get the format right?

I saw a lady a few weeks ago at my gym... She was on the stationary bike, wearing a helmet. I was like, I have to do something here to mess with her; there's gotta be something I can do. I started looking around. I went to the pool, and I grabbed the life preserver ring off the wall. That ring thing I put around my head,…

My sister's a personal trainer. That's a tough job. I don't think I can do that. You gotta help people with their fitness goals. 'Can you help me define my abs?' 'Yeah -- disgusting, sloppy, gelatinous.'

You go to the gym, right, and they got a machine for every body part. You know -- they got something for the legs, the arms, the back. But you know, you can't walk up to the trainer and be like, 'Where's the man-tit machine at?'

I went to a gym. They offered me free membership for life if I posed for a 'don't let this happen to you' poster.

I belong to a gym now. Well, let me rephrase that: I don't belong there at all, but I go.

I'm on a strict running program. I started yesterday. I've only missed one day so far.

Can't say that I have.

It does sound like other studies I have read which of course recommend people eat low glycemic index foods. I personally like steal cut oatmeal with crushed walnuts and perhaps some blue berries, so do some of my clients, as a pre workout meal, offering enough energy (along with a banana) for most strength training…

I am sending you a message which might be a little lengthy for here.

I would certainly agree with Mary about JLO and Beyoncé. I myself like a woman with a few curves in all the right places. But even beyond that are a woman's smile and the warmth which exudes from her personality. A twinkle in the eye is also very appealing, as well as, a woman who does not mind getting her nails dirty (in…

The problem I have seen with most people is that they concentrate too much on Abs work and not enough on core training. To avoid this I train my clients by using total core conditioning techniques. As the abs get stronger if the lower back is not worked out equally as hard you will develop muscular imbalances leading to…

That is great to hear!

@5Goodyz - Thanks for your response. I too served in the military many years ago during the Vietnam Era and the training we received was brutal by most standards. 25 mile marches with full battle gear and combat boots of course with heavy wool socks. No Brooks Ravenna 2 running shoes with cushioned socks. We sang cadence,…

That is great to hear. Certainly no one should tell us that life must be stopped living because we now have health and fitness goals. Quite the opposite, we should be enjoying a more fuller life now! :happy:

@YessiOR. Thanks for your open and honest response. As I mentioned getting additional weights and accessories for my fitness level to use at home would be very costly. I myself also prefer seeing other human beings next to me at the gym working out, sweating and groaning. Like Myfitnesspal it provides a social aspect that…

Thanks Ms. Focusonfifty. Your comments are appreciated and I could not agree more!

Thanks for your candid response. Most of my clients begin with me at a low fitness level and would certainly have to work up to that type of exercise intensity. Several purchased the package and there it sits. They also need someone who can teach them (with great patience) how to do the exercises properly and watch their…

@katysmelly - Perhaps it is OK to use ephedra in Scotland by in the US it is not. The Food and Drug Administration banned the weight-loss supplement ephedra as of April 2004, but you might not know that if you hang out on the Internet. Ephedra Outlet touts "Ripped Ma Huang Ephedra Diet Pills”; BuyEphedraOnline.com ("Your…

Sorry just going by your profile pic! haha

He's right. Do not depend on something to artificially bring the results you want whether it is added muscle, toning and conditioning, weight loss or increased stamina and endurance. If you really want to FEEL GOOD about your progress do it knowing that it was ALL YOU and the changes you made to your lifestyle, nutrition…

Do you have a pre workout meal? Post workout snack?
