Here's a suggestion, more physiologically based. Wake up every morning, don't drink any fluids (maybe a little water, but that's it), and go to a sauna and sweat out the nicotine. It'll take about 3-7 days of doing this but will make it a lot easier. Being in an emotional slump is something you can't avoid, but this should…

didn't specify what time on sunday. And unless you're eating a very significant amount and drinking plenty of water WITHOUT expelling it it won't affect you that much. It'll be like the usual difference that you'd get from an overnight fluctuation

Easiest way for me is: chicken breast whey protein powder beef jerky (watch the sodium however) fatty acids you can take fish oils or enjoy some salmon, avocados are amazing as they're also packed with potassium which is good for heart health, almond butter

Hey! Same situation, graduated in June but I'm back for more school lol but this time will be different. 23 years old, 172lbs. Feel free to add

Creatine is a short (SHORT) burst of energy at the beginning of your workout. Taking it out will do nothing besides stop you from holding as much water as you have been. The water retention is the biggest change I noticed.

Splenda is just a chlorinated sugar, having chlorine atoms in place of hydroxyl groups which makes the human body unable to utilize it and therefore it simply passes through your system. Stevia/Truvia on the other hand is a natural sugar derived from a plant source. HOWEVER, in the case of both commercially available…

I do them all. They all contribute their piece to training. Knowing when and which to use a specific style is the key though

Entirely from personal experience, I looked at some of the ingredients in joint supplements and did a little research and found what works for me. Fish oils (take like 4-5 per day) Glucosamine-Chondroitin (500/400mg) supplement Picked them both up at Costco for about $30 collectively (less than one bottle of Allflex) My…

^^this, discussion over. 'Big boned' depends on perspective. Taller people have longer limbs and of course longer bones, so in that sense, yes they are 'bigger boned'. However the diameter and average density of human bones doesn't change much.

Simply put, this 'game' is all about mentality. Those that know their goal, are clear about it enough so that when asked they are able to speak of it in an unwavering fashion are those that succeed. Saying something is "hard" is actually saying you ' don't really care'. Edison wasn't thinking 'If I could light up this room…

Those eyes…. whoa

You follow carb back-loading? or just a traditional IF style?

Doing 3100cal/day (bulking, using a number based off of Jay Cutler's 'Living Large' program) up to 175lbs 6 foot 1 inch 23 MFP has me at ~2650 Training 6 days per week, either resistance or Olympic/strongman

Daily allowance is about 2500mg/day, which is rather reasonable. I wouldn't worry too much about it but that doesn't mean you can go crazy and consume high salt foods at all times of the day. If you're constantly seeing advertisements and people preaching moderation in salt intake I wonder what exactly you're looking at…

Maintain? I'm actually starting a cut on December 20th lol Moderation, patience, tenacity and courage are going to have to serve me well. If you really want it you'll find a way. Keep tracking EVERY SINGLE DAY. It'll make you aware and keep you sane. And if you end up going over one night don't freak out, the hormonal…

In the words of the 'Hodge twins' themselves 'This is just another b@!!$h!t supplement'. It's like the raspberry ketones craze and the green coffee bean craze. Honestly don't bother and save yourself the headache. If you choose to google reviews and opinions about it then I invite you to take a look at who is 'sponsoring'…

The BCAAs are unnecessary if you're getting enough protein and eating at maintainence. They'll come in handy when training fasted or at a caloric deficiet of more than about 300cal/day. L-carnitine is actually pretty useless. It is a fat transporter WITHIN cells. Not only that, but your body already makes significant…

Has anyone actually had any experience with CBL? It looks really fun after the gruesome first 10 days

I'm actually doing a mix LeanGains and the Renegade diet. Working my window to 3-11 from 7-2:30 that it used to be. Just wondering about going to bed after taking something like Mutant Mass that contains 88grams of carbs (including waxy maize and dextrose). Trying to stay lean so I can put of cutting for next summer for as…

Maybe a little… I got cocky when I did a show and it tore us apart, turned into a bit of a monster. But I've learned (the hard way), never again.

In this case a calorie is not a calorie. If you've done any research you'll find alcohol is said to possess 7cal/g, BUT given its thermic affect induced during digestion the number is actually closer to 5cal/g. Clearly everything is not as it seems. I invite you to read this: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson194.htm…

Track you calories, and look into intermittent fasting. Youtube 'fastingtwins' and see what they have to say. Probably the best way I can suggest, but BY ALL MEANS AVOID DIET PILLS. They're a waste of money and have been linked to heart, liver, kidney and lung problems.

6 grams of sugar? I'm sorry but, WTF!? Where did you get that number from? looking at it realistically a banana or apple contain 12-20g each, even vegetables contain sugar. Not to mention things like bread and rice contain sugar. I think that number is a little misinformed. I'd simply suggest cutting out processed carbs…

I stopped looking at short-term (daily) and look at long-term (weekly). I look at my protein intake for the day and go from there. If I'm within 100-200cal for the day then I just leave it. A couple spoons of peanut butter usually do the trick though. Try not to make it a habit, you're really not accomplishing anything
