Try making a green smoothie instead they are much more filling and they taste really nice if done correctly. Just have to make sure you have something with soluable fibre in there. When you start to get used to it use just 20-25% greens and the rest fruit. A good starting recipe is which I used was this: Spinach and/or…

Thank you that's brill, started a class called body balance and also doing yoga stretches at home. Fingers crossed lets hope it helps. Also going to use the site you linked for some extra stuff.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the info. I have not been great with my stretching so I am hoping its that and posture. I am also doing yoga to help as I have probs at l5 and 6 which my doc is recommending surgery for(stupid back). There is some nerve impingement there. So I am trying all this stuff in the hope of…

How do I find the info on that postureguy website, all I seem to find is links that direct me to pay for online therapy?

I must be blind totally missed the link you guys posted lol, I will check them out.

I have a desk job so that does not help , I have not done as much stretching. I think my push pull has been ok as been following this routine at the moment: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/totalbody_training Is there a good site with what stretches to do to correct this issue?

I am currently trying the total body workout from here http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=643686 Loving it so far see what you think.

Well reason I thought that low is nothing seemed to be happening at 2000 scales wise should i go in the middle at 1900 you think?

my main is around 2100 i think gonna drop down to 1800 i think so do you think i should get more protein in than 120?

The reason why is because i and deciding to lose weight with a slight deficit (might add more later) and increase cardio etc. Just generally bring cals down over everything and to help with the fact burning through tubs of whey lol. I am just aiming to lose about 14 pounds gradually by jun/july time. Also I was getting a…

Thanks guys I will see my doc and ask for and X-ray and then try find a sports physio. I will stop doing lat raise and flat bench and try find alternative to dips.

I dont think so as my diet is more or less the same usually.

I wonder if i can ask another question that is kind of related to this also. I have notice on some excercises at the moment my performance is all over the place especially with back day and some times with my tricep dips. On pullups for example i was making progress and one week ill go in and manage to do 8-10 reps but…

Couple of reasons. First is because i quite like the 6-10 rep range so was thinking of working up to that then doing two weeks of pyramid sets before moving weight up. Second reason is I fancy a change and I am noticing it is getting harder to get those strength gains now. For example, at the moment im on 9 rep week and…

@teamamelia Teacher =D

I wanted to add something as some strange is going on with my body. I have seem to be losing weight even is this normal when you start bulking from a diet? I am going to increase cal by 100 but was really shock to have lost 2 pound this week and am back at what I was when start to increase cals lol

Thanks guys, do you think I am ok to sit at 2000 caps. My thoughts were if I stop gaining weight to add 100 caps etc and keep doing that if weight stays same for 2 weeks. Thank you for the links will check them when get home.

I also wanted to ask how protein I should try and eat. Currently, try to aim for 150g and I weigh around 160-165.

Sorry replied on my phone it should have read deadlifts lol

Sounds good. When it come to increasing weight do I just add every week and see if I can do it? Also could you give an example of these kind of systems or a link? The only exercise I have been avoiding is deadliest and heavy squats because of a back condition. I still try do the Bulgarian squats as these don't bother my…

Ty I will look it up. I think the main thing has been that I am just getting less focused as I have got bored with the workout. I think if I did a cycle of something different I may go back as have had good results strength wise. I have been lifting for about a year now so not sure if I am still classes as a beginner or…

Been dieting for a long time now and I am happy with the way I look right now. So my plan was to slowly work back upto 2000 cal per day and if my weight stays stable try and bulk up a bit. I would love to train 4 days but at the moment my job is limiting my training days, the only way I could do this if did say wed and…

Oh I see, sorry I was being stupid. I took the 10% off my cals now and I am going to give it a go. I am also not going to eat back any extra excercise i do on non workout days so lets see if I can get this weight loss going before end of month. I will check in in 4 weeks if thats ok with you guys? or sooner if I have any…

I have been really good logging now not sure why average is so high as I normally only do 1800 + excercise. I have adjusted my cals as you recommended and I think I might stop logging any excercise that is not on a gym day or log it it but wont eat it back. I will keep it up until I go on weeks hols then review it then and…

So try 1680 cals + excercise cals? (have been doing 1800 + excercise at the moment) Also I wanted to ask if yuo guys have heard of endamundo. I have been using it to track walks and used to put in str training one day but I noticed it gave quite a lot more burned cals than MFP so not sure which is best to use. I have been…

1) Number of training days/week (approx duration) 3 Days a week 45min- 60min str trainings. 2) Any additional cardio? 20-30 mins Cardio each gym session , I aim for about 300-400 cals on treadmill 3) How active outside of gym? This depends on the weather really, I love wandering about in so if its sunny I will go for walks…

Small update, weighed in this week and weight has stayed the same (so has been same for 2 weeks now). My body confuses me it really does lol. Really not sure what to do i.e cut downs more, move to maint or even if i should move to maint and then a lil more to try put some mass on so I can start seeing some results. P.S Is…

I thought I would add a couple of pic that i took last friday incase that helps with the advice: Sorry i uploaded images too small trying to fix it now. Ok i think its ok now.
