Hi Joseph. This can either work two ways... while most people would suggest cutting out the fast food completely, I find a different method works for me personally. I have a cheat meal once per week where you can eat whatever it is that you are craving. I happen to think McDonalds is the greatest food on earth (gross, I…

You can use the leg press machine to work on your butt. You just need to push with your legs! :)

Too much running/cardio will only make you skinny fat. You can lose weight but it won't make you firm. You should start lifting. You'll burn more calories and can build up your butt and other muscles so that you won't loo flabby. You'll also plateau with only cardio. With weights, you can keep increasing the lbs to make it…

I've been lifting pretty heavy for my size. I'm 112 lbs and my 1RM are: Deadlift: 200 Bench: 100 Squat: 170 Press: 80 :( Most of my workouts in the past were based on ONLY those main lifts at about 75 percent of my 1RM for as many reps as I could get. I'm going to still do some big lifts of course, but now I"m going to do…

I've been specifically training for strength for the past 4 months because I was doing some power lifting meets. But now that I feel okay with all my 1RM and feel that I've made some pretty good progress with strength, I'm going to do this.. starting today!…

THIS. All my carbs come from green veggies, brown rice, and steel cut oats. The protein is get is from animal products that most would frown upon. A lot of people will go out on a limb to try and tell you to stay away from the meats and eat your "whole grains." But in reality, what most people think are "healthy whole…

lol I have NO PROBLEM getting protein. I've been getting about 130 grams a day. I've been noticing a difference in my muscles by going way over what MFP tells me to eat. I try to just make sure I'm keeping it at 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fat. I've been looking a lot leaner too. So I'm going to keep eating like it's…

Idk who did it or HOWW they did it hahah.. but there was a huge turd lying in the middle of the gym floor one day. I thought I smelled something bad, but I didn't see it at first. Then someone came up to me (because I work there) and said "hey, there's sh** on the floor." I thought he meant garbage or something. But then I…

You should try Quest bars!! They're the only healthy protein bars I've seen that don't have a ton of added sugars. They come in a lot of flavors with pretty basic ingredients. Most protein bars have paragraphs on weird ingredients you can't pronounce. Each bar has 1 or 2 grams of sugar which is nothing! And 20 grams of…

When my doctor heard that I eat a lot of steak and eggs he flipped out and told me I was going to die and have a heart attack. Then he tested my blood work during my checkup and said I had the most impressive blood work he's seen in a while. psh.

does anyone do powerlifting meets? I've done two and I'm sort of obsessed now. ;p But I'm in the lightest weight class where I don't really have much competition so I'm trying to gain a little weight.

It's funny because most of the people who will go out on a limb to say "COFFEE IZ BADDDDD" are the ones who probably don't exercise enough, are afraid of red meat, and eat crap like Special K cereal because the labels say it's healthy... when in reality, a little bit of coffee is the least of their problems. They just hear…

the smith machine makes for a good rack to hang your coat on... that's it. lol but all jokes aside, if you really dedicate some time to getting better at real squats without the Smith machine, you will gain strength, get a MUCH better workout, and notice the difference in your legs and butt. :)

I may possibly be the biggest anti smith machine advocate in the world. The Smith machine is kind of a joke because there's pulleys that help you get the weight up. When you're using a smith machine, you can pretty much use the world's worst form because you are stuck in the awkward constraints of a machine. With just the…

coffee has tons of benefits! Caffein in general does. Just not one of those crappy starbucks fraps or whatever they are... those coffee drinks that have like 50 grams of sugar and fat added in. Plain old 0 calorie coffee with splenda is harmless.

I've been doing Wendler's 5 3 1 program for about 3 months now. It focuses on the main lifts press, deadlifts, bench, squat. I've been making pretty good gains. tested 1RM are Deadlift-200 lbs Squat-170 lbs Bench- 100 lbs =( pathetic haven't tested press but I"ve been reaping 65 for 5 reps. Also pathetic haha. But 5 3 1…

she probably thinks our metabolisms will slow down and we'll go into starvation mode... and die...

I started out by just fasting on sundays and wednesdays which are my off days. But I realized that I actually work out well fasted. Everyone is different though. One of the fasted days I only do cardio. The other fasted day I do heavy strength training (i'm doing the 5 3 1 program) and I feel fine.

Same as the whole myth about "6 small meals a day or your metabolism will slow down and you'll starve" The pressure to eat a meal every few hours is what's making a lot of people fat in the first place. Sure it may work for some people, but a lot of people overeat that way. It really doesn't matter how many meals or how…

Barbell complex with 8 reps of each exercise. No stopping in between exercises. 8 deadlifts 8 romanian deadlifts 8 bent over rows 8 hang cleans 8 front squats 8 push press 8 back squats 8 pushups. rest for 1 min and start over. See how many times you can complete it without dying. It's really tough!

I've been doing it for a year now. it totally transformed me. I'm a lot more defined and actually gained muscle size. I even find that I have more energy when working out fasted. I started off with one 36 hours fast but switched to two 24 hour fasts per week. I love it. I just have to make sure I eat enough on my non…

Years ago, before I knew anything about exercise, I thought the only way to get in shape was to run a lot. I HATED IT. But I kept at it and lost a lot of weight. However, it was exhausting, I never wanted to do the workouts, my shins hurt, and eventually I gave up. Finally, I learned that the real results come from weight…

I add two scoops into each protein shake that i drink. So each shake is 60 grams of protein. I also eat a lot of eggs.

You should make sure you are eating the proper amount of carbs, since carbs are our main energy source.. but it's important to limit sugar. Especially sugar that comes from things like breads, cereal, yogurt, and pasta. Most of the sugar in those things is added crap like high fructose corn syrup which is the worst thing…

HAHA YES ISOPURE MANGO PEACH IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER TRIED. No.. really. I mean, I thought I could just force it down. Not even possible haha. Best proteins I've had are Platinum Hydro Builder in chocolate. It's really thick and fulling so it mixes well with water. Tastes like chocolate pudding. And Promax peanut…

Technically you can but that would be an unhealthy option. Also, you wouldn't feel very satisfied. For example, if you wanted to eat 30 grams of carbs, you can eat an entire bag of vegetables or 10 gummy bears for the same amount. I don't know about you, but an entire bag of vegetables would be a much more filling choice.…

I really don't understand why they restrict the protein. Our bodies are designed to flush out excess proteins unless you have some sort of kidney problems. As long as you aren't going over your calorie limits you should be fine and won't gain weight from it. If anything, you will gain weight if you are getting too many…

It all depends on what the actual workout consist of. If you are overkilling the cardio your body may hold on to the weight because you may be overtraining yourself. The best solution is a good balance of strength training and cardio. Also, make sure you weigh yourself in the morning before you eat anything. If you weight…
