So he says he has been doing 600 calories since January. No way. If he had been doing that for 8 months he would have lost a lot more weight and been one very tired and pissed off boy. I have a feeling your x-boyfriend has been telling you a few fibs. Starting tomorrow . if a male weighing 300 pounds 6 foot 2, age 34 who…

Whoa slow down kids. Instead of jumping on the guy.(through the x-girlfriend.) Take a step back. The man can actually do 00 calories for a period of time with no long lasting adverse effects. There are tons of fasting programs for cleansing the body that have even fewer calories than that up to 30 days. What I would say to…

What is my ideal body? My answer is very simple A body that has reached it's genetic potential. When we see beauty we are doing the "math of mating" Beauty is about one thing. SYMMETRY. Some of us have more symmetry than others. I don't care what type of body you have. You can train it for optimum symmetry and performance.…

I always laugh at this question. first off I'm not black. I'm a rather warm shade of brown. I don't even use the term WHITE People. When in all actuality they are more TRANSLUCENT than white. I know it's easier to use simple terms like, white, black, yellow and brown instead of American of African decent, or American of…

When I ran track my quads would ache for the first several weeks of the season. Yet we had to run every day. We just did a lot of quad stretching and after awhile your conditioning peaks and the soreness goes away. Stretch first and start easy, chances are you will loosen up.

Congrats on your weight loss! that is awesome! Here is what you are experiencing. When you have a lot of weight to lose you tend to lose is pretty quickly at first. I see you are biking and lifting. I think its a safe bet that you went form couch potato to active in short time. You have increased your daily output and your…

This is one of the best answers I have seen. One must ask themselves what KIND of body do they want. Personally I don;t want to simply lose weight. I want a ripped hard body like I had before. A lean hard active body. A body that is awe inspiring and ready to take on anything I throw at it. Based on what I want, a calorie…

I think it's best to understand what clean eating is. In all my years as a competitive bodybuilder and trainer eating clean meant eating foods that prompted the body to be most efficient at burning fat and expending energy without burning muscle. As we dropped weight we wanted to drop as much body fat as possible without…

Better to have a calorie deficit that is uncharted than a calorie surplus you are unaware of. :)

Do as much cardio on those days as you have the energy and desire for. Sorry I did not read your OP properly. there is no rule of thumb as to how much cardio you do on a lifting day. Not unless you are doing sport specific training and are on a program that is geared towards a specific goal or sport. Since you are simply…

Okay... So here is the deal.... If you are lifting weights you need the glycogen in your muscles for energy and recover between sets. If you do intensive cardio before lifting weights you will burn up that blood sugar and wont have it for use during your lift. Now, if you are doing cardio to burn fat then doing your lift…

Thanks for all of the kind words. I can see this is a wonderful community.One of the reasons I love the fitness community is because of the love and warmth I have been privileged of seeing and conveying over the years. I will certainly be posting images and tracking my own progress for both my motivation and those around…
