The reason I phrased the question as I did is because most people end up learning as they go (welcome to the forums middlehaitch ;) But, I'm certain there were things that would have been "most helpful" had they been known from the very beginning.

I love research - so much that I probably should have just become a professional researcher. And, this is a topic of personal interest for me, so it is a very good way to get un-biased responses into something I really don't know all that much about.

I do have a fitness/body transformations website, though this is more for personal interest, not for publishing. (Its just something I've become interested in since I started the site)

Awesome advice.. I see a number of things coming up regularly.

Great job!

Thank you all for your feedback. Sidesteel, welcome back from your trip. I hear it was great (I pseudo-follow you through Sarauk). Do, you both feel that online coaching was valuable, and worth your time and money?

So, with the above post being made, I will call this bulk and report on the results tomorrow.

Auddii, great question, with a pretty simple two-part answer. First, I don't like bulking! While I like the results, I don't like eating that much and I really don't like the excess fat gain. At 12% body fat, I'm fatter now than I've ever been. For the first time in my life, I actually "noticed" my belly last week. I'm…

Nice! Pretty on track with the .5 lb/wk gain. And, getting stronger!

If the One is something you are considering, here is a quick review of it by an MFP member: realbodiesrealresults.com/blog/fitbit-i-have-used-a-fitbit-product-almost-247

Here's a review from an MFP member about Game Day.. she says "It's mild enough that if your workout gets delayed, you are not struggling to concentrate, but the energy and pump enhance workouts" Something like this may work for you. realbodiesrealresults.com/blog/game-day-the-only-pre-workout-i-will-take

haha, its rare that my lengthy and somewhat scientific explanations are so enthusiastically received. My pleasure :)

NewLIFEstyle - what Gen is describing is called the "mind-muscle" connection. As you are reading this right now, think about and tighten your stomach muscles. Really focus on making them tight. You'll do the same thing when you are working out if you want to emphasize a muscle or muscle group during your compound…

Here's a short review from an MFP member on the Fitbit One. Might consider that. realbodiesrealresults.com/blog/fitbit-i-have-used-a-fitbit-product-almost-247
