I have seen two zones. Initially noone really noticed from 220 down until about 185. Then noone noticed any more weightloss until I was under 170. Once I am under 170 the only way you can really tell is when I take my shirt off. Trying to drop back down to my lowest of 165 (maybe a little lower) I jumped up a bit, but have…

The guys in the power rack doing curls... I have nothing against curls but please there are curl benches and if you need to be doing standing barbell curls we have extra bars everywhere in my gym you don't need a rack to do them just set the bar on the ground... but no, they have to sit in the power rack that is a safety…

indeed load up on the healthier sides and minimize things like dressing and eat a small amount of BBQ. Definitely eat your friends food. I usually try to make sure im fully hydrated before doing anything like that because then I eat less. A couple of cheat days aren't going to kill you, enjoy yourself and try to not worry…

Naturally, walk/slow jog is a different motion than running, the recommended way to do it is run a short distance in vibrams then switch to regular shoes and keep going. However, with C25K you can just walk and then start running again in the vibrams, the form is different for walk vs. run in regular shoes as well so it…

she sounds pretty toxic. Glad to hear you dropped her!

Depends on what im doing. If it's like right now when Im trying to gain a lot of strength I ignore the scale except once a week because my body does strange things when im heavy lifting 3 days a week with 2 days of assistance work. When im plotting it, once a day and only once and I keep a graph to look at overall trends…

An olympic bar is just shy of 45 lbs. I would recommend that you increment 5 lbs ~3 times in 2 weeks from your current weight (putting on 15-20 lbs every 2 weeks). You are in a period that for most people when they start is a linear gains period. you will be able to make linear gains at the same set x reps numbers every…

We should be careful stating hypotheses as fact.. a theory is something else. People just need to stop using "theory" as a substitute for hypothesis, they are not the same thing. A hypothesis is a conjecture that you feel might be true based on previous observation but needs to be verified by experiment, a theory is when a…

Another great recipe that I love that is pretty healthy for side dishes is this one: This works for either brussel sprouts or broccoli you need: A sautee pan Olive Oil salt Brussels sprouts or broccoli (fresh works best but frozen is good too) garlic clove Parmesan cheese ground Peel the garlic clove slice it into thin…

There are many great healthy meals that are super simple to cook! so first, the plain meats without anything super special done to them are probably the easiest thing to learn (and one of the most important to master!) one of my favorite meals is baked chicken and potatoes. Here is the recipe: a tyson chicken breast (or…

THIS! I HATE THIS. Ugg it's so infuriating.

I generally use the MFP estimate, because around my town there I generally have an elevation gain of around 200-300 vertical feet. So on good days I get going over 30 mph down to school and I generally get about 12mph going back so I put in the 12mph estimate and it seems to be ok because Ive kept up the 1lb per week loss…

So your calorie burn depends on many factors! VO2 or your maximal oxygen consumption, resting heart rate and max heart rate are some of these factors. Essentially, these factors determine how efficient your body is at exercising! http://www.livestrong.com/article/39443-heart-rate-vs.-calories-burned/ So, depending on the…

Love my Fuji CrossComp, cant wait for cyclocross next winter! I live in a VERY hilly town and my commute to school and back is 300 feet of elevation change in 2 miles. There is a 10 mile route down into the valley that is 1000 feet drop and gain in 10 miles... Have yet to actually get that one done...it is intense.

There is a good possibility you have gained some muscle mass! just keep trucking and doing the right things!

10 more lbs to go for the Horns! Hook em! Edit: Texas Alum, now a grad student at VT. Go Hokies!

Sub it with stretch!!! the flexibility is so important to your overall fitness. Once you gain the additional flexibiiity you need, try it again, it is very very hard, arguably the hardest of the week! Honestly, I hated it when I first started p90x but now Yoga is a very nice day for me, I love the additional flexibility I…

Im not disagreeing with you. Im just irritated at the method you chose to present your argument. As a PhD student this irritates me to no end. Also protein isn't the main source of the Kreb's Cycle either ;) Glucose is still the primary source :) It's more that the links don't illustrate the point that you are trying to…

http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwfit/index.html This is a great place to start if you want to build a workout schedule, they cover all the basics and its all information from the Dept. of Kinesiology at Georgia Tech, so it's backed by their study results! Good Luck and have fun! Edit: Sorry Georgia State.

uhmmm the Krebs cycle can use both fats and proteins, also the Krebs cycle is the TCA cycle since it's formal name is the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle. You just posted a bunch of links to the point of not even reading the wikipedia page in which it says on the first line that the Kreb's cycle is the TCA cycle. "The citric acid…

Work out your arms! they are so important for all the other upper body workouts. They are the link to everything, pull ups, push ups, swimming, running, you name it, it all uses your arms to be most effective. They aren't usually the primary muscles, but stronger arms will add a little boost for running up those hills or…

Mexican Food and BBQ. Sit me down at an all you can eat good BBQ joint and Im not going to be in good shape for that day. Mexican gets me with those stupid tortilla chips and salsa.

That's awesome! Keep it up!

Cut down on your caffeine intake if it is high. Try over the next few weeks to cut out soda completely. This should help you sleep. If possible try to pack a dinner for work and eat a little bit later, even if it has to be at your desk. If that isn't an option, prepare a light snack of something like raw veggies (with a…

I agree with believe, if you are doing any kind of exercise 1100 calories isn't sustainable. Try bringing it up to 1400 and adding a couple hundred calories of exercise (an hour of walking will get you 200). This is a great link on how to calculate about how many calories you need in a day:…

Well, if you have set your goals right then to lose weight you should have some spare calories to stay even. So today you stayed even. I generally don't freak out about it, just try to keep logging and being honest about what im eating. Sometimes a cheat day makes me feel good and as long as it doesn't happen more than…
