I will agree with the others that say diet soda has no effect on weight loss. It will not stop you from losing weight but wont help either unless you use it to replace something with calories. If you are positive your calorie counting is close to accurate it would most likely mean you got an initial loss of water weight…

So last week man. Now you have to add "onabosuball" to the end. Elite level.

supersettingdropsetstofailureeveryseteveryday!!!!!!! :p

Can chains and/or bands help with this also?

He also says in the video that this is a stability exercise and not for strength. If you could find a way to anchor your self it might work beyond light weights. Otherwise it is not really working your lats as much as it is the muscle that keep you from being pulled sideways or forward.

Looks like a nice movement path. The problem with doing them like this, kneeling or standing, is that eventually you can lift more than you weigh. So instead of the weights going up, your body will be lifted off the ground. More like a wide grip pull up. That is why lat pull down machines have the knee bars.

Its interesting and educational to watch and the comments blowing up everywhere are enjoyable as well. :) Prepare!!!

Sorry. The debate. intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/upcoming-debates/item/1161-genetically-modify-food

Im not sure what your program is but it might be that you are doing to much too quickly. How long has this been going on?

Im convinced. It didnt take much though. :smiley: theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/11/the-case-for-drinking-as-much-coffee-as-you-like/265693/

There are many benefits to strength training besides "building" muscle. So even if you can or cant grow any new muscle you should definitely start this program. If you are close to goal weight then eating closer to maintenance might be a good option but anywhere between 0-500 is fine. Try it and see how you feel. If you're…

The cardio didnt burn off all his muscle but lets not pretend that it built it all either.

I dont think its really about who/whats right. Romey84 has good intentions making these posts and there is useful info here. I think you are going through what a lot of us go through when we started. You find some info and start putting it to use and it works. Hell almost anything will work when you first start. 1000's of…

No problem but its not just women that resist the idea of resistance training. Bret Contreras just posted this article today. LOL perfect timing for this discussion. I like his answers better. Probably what most people were assuming anyways. bretcontreras.com/lift/

Dang it. You quoted me before I fixed the word poor to pour. I suck at life.

Not just a little or moderately but EXTREMELY!!!!!! I always drink water when I have coffee. I just pour it over the coffee grounds first and heat it up.

Im not sure what your particular issue is to why you are unable to move but recommending strength training in addition to just cardio is not a bad thing. If you think it is just a bunch of meat heads telling people to do this then maybe you will find these link interesting. circ.ahajournals.org/content/101/7/828.full…

Barf city. Too elite for me.

Sorry you are correct. I meant more in line with an 60+ minute run or all day hike kind of comparison.

I would say yes then to the bolded section. They would have a much bigger strength component through a bigger range of motion and involve your full body. Just like other body weight strength movements like a push up it would be enough to preserve your current muscle. But that is strength training not cardio.

I didnt know there was two forms for the dip when I was working on them. I did assisted dips on the machine and that was fine because it was one where you put your knees on the pad and it moves straight up and down with your legs under you. When I started doing them unassisted I kept my knees bent behind me, which caused…

Not sure people are pushing burpees and mountain climbers for endurance but they are definitely a strength builders up to a point. Getting to 50 burpees in a row is great but eventually is stops being a strength builder. Hiking and swimming will have the same limitations for adaptation that other forms of cardio will have.…

Man there was a huge debate on this awhile back. Here is one video that I remember standing out with some good info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wou-hbOIQBI

It has been mentioned on here a few times that cardio CAN have a strength component. You will adapt or maintain to the activity you are doing. To continue to adapt you would need to increase the intensity of the activity. Running would become sprinting or adding resistance with incline. So you are correct but doing that…

I am pretty sure I have seen a study that showed improvement with even one day per week but I dont remember where. Here is a quote on the CDC site about a study done with 2 days per week on postmenopausal women. "One 12-month study conducted on postmenopausal women at Tufts University demonstrated 1% gains in hip and spine…

Im not sure what program you are doing but it should definitely include leg work. Running does not strengthen leg muscle beyond what it takes to run with your body weight which is not much.

Ah I misunderstood then.

You say that like its a bad thing. The "regulars" do tend to pull stuff apart. That is a good thing in my opinion. If the advice cant hold up to scrutiny and cant be backed up with solid information then maybe its time to do a little more research. The OP's post is just a shot gun blast of information. Some of it is fine…
