Small calorie deficit is the way to go for sure, get you macros set up for your body type. If you're an easy gainer I would suggest 45-50% of your diet should be protein. Eat clean lean meats, sweet potatoes, brown rice lots of vegtables some fruits are ok too. I am currently eating about 2500 cals a day and at around 5%…

If I buy powders I go with version that have been tested, Giant makes a pretty good one. I have also heard good things about True Protein. Powders are for convenience but should not be used extensively in the place of real food, but I understand the desire for a nice tasting shake now and then. Oh yah stay away from GNC,…

Ok I train a lot of women and it didn't take me very long to realize that they have some advantages over men. a) they generally have better stamina than men, they can get extra reps in where we would fail. b) the biggest disadvantage to this is that they do not get as much out of low rep workouts as men do. I guess this…

There uis form failure and what a lot of people call failure. If you know what you are doing and your form is very tight working to form failure where you don't do any more reps after form is as risk of comprimise then that is probably ok.

Yah lose very slowly and you should be ok 10% is really not all that low and you should not have to give up mass to acheive that. That is if you know how to keep your macros in line with what you are trying to accomplish.

I train at the gym at ETS close to downtown...

Verdun for me. Anybody competing in the show May 1th UFE ?

That is incorrect, it's a true a lot of people think that but it' takes days to reach that point. Our bodies adapted to long fasting times when food was more scarce and we were more hunters and gatherers and would eat more frequently. We need to be able to maintain our mass during times of fasting. Then we would gorge when…

Exactly :)

Fasted training is used by many in my sport, I love my fasted training sessions. I am stronger and more focused. It's on of the really neat tricks you can use to attain a lean hard body trust me... or not ...:)

Software Developer..

True enough and the type of bulk or the degree, is not like the women you see using steroids. Hormones is the key to adding serious mass of any kinc. Most men have capabilities to put on mass because they have the hormones to do so. Women do not have the same hormonal profile so they tend not to gain muscle very easily but…

That's cuz confidence is sexy :) .. see were still thinking of sex. It's unbelievable the difference it makes though. First of all if a woman is happy with who they are that shows through. If she has love for who she is spiritually that glows. You know you will never be perfect, that's ok then you can always get better. A…

Yah I like a strong booty...

Oh and I like what many are saying about self fullfillment, noting sexier than confindence...

So true... :)

Meat please, I hate bones and would rather see a woman a little over weight than under....

Biggest mistake I see people make is eating too little and killing there metabolism. You will not los fat any faster in the long run, you will lose weight but a lot of it will be muscle and then the fat loss will stop. Even anorexics often have some body fat on them cuz your body will hold not to fat if the deficit is too…

oh your mean... not the best thing but there are worse things. Bananas are fairly high glycemic and there is quite a lot fo fat in pb.... sort of a perfect storm, cause an insulin spike and supply the fat. French fries may be the worst food ever because of this, don't even get me started about poutne.... I eat freis once a…

Here's another solution to adding in treats, calculate exactly how many calories it has then before you indulge do enough exercise to cover yourself then you have earned that treat.... never take a treat unless you earn it. You will feel much better about it.

That's a good point, have to know the difrerence between good pain (I love it) and bad pain ( not so much) . Comes with experience...untill you do you should err on the side of caution. Many a time a trainee has said to me this hurts should they take it easy. I just tell them I can't feel what you're feeling so be careful.…

I actually use the ETS gym at Notre Dame and Peel, it's actually extreemly well equipped, even though it's full of younger guys who don't have a clue and are pretty loose with the gym edicate.

Yah I cycle nutrents and on workout days when it gets even difficult to get my cals in I will use more calorie dense foods to get the cals in. I always stick to my calorie count and macro ratios though.

Ooo that sounds good.. :)

Nuts are so calorie intense though, I mean just a few are fine but I have trouble with just a few, I like lots :( so for the most part I avoid them cuz it's hard to get them in without leaving myself hungry cuz I have used up all my cals)

Holy Crap you mean I have been doing it wrong. all these years... lol Yah I think lifting first then HITT works very well, I have used to it to get ready for contests many times and it's quite muscle sparing.... The idea is glycogen is low and it's a good tiem to burn off some extra fat. The other optimal time is fasted…

Another thing we are not considering is macro-nutrient ratios and the fact hat most people who have trouble losing weight are pretty insulin sensitive and should avoid high amounts of carbs. It you eating throws that out of whack then it could be detrimental. Now here it is when it gets back to goals as this problem would…

Is that true ? I agree with you about sticking to your diet and not having some cheat food, but on a daily basis ? That kind of thinking is so foreign to me... I hate to think peoiple need cheat food that often. I guess I'm not most people... does that what we want to be though most people.... I thought that's what a lot…

Yah I am not going to do deads with a HRM lol that's ok, I have been doing this for a long time I can fill in the blanks....
