Nope. I'm interested in results and progress, not fads.

For the same reason that an old Lincoln V8 burns more fuel than a Toyota Corolla....

Of course not. Feeling guilty about food is a red flag. Check yourself before your wreck yourself.

Eat when you're awake. Don't eat when you're sleeping.

As for the amount of weight, you should be lifting enough weight to make something in the 5-8 reps range a challenge. As for programming, the tried and true beginner programs are Starting Strength or StrongLifts 5x5. New Rules of Lifting For Women gets honorable mention. As for equipment, the gold standard would be a power…

It's overpriced by about $14. A nice composition book is about 99 cents.

Decided to lose weight and get fit.

:laugh:

I would say large is 17" or more. I would consider a 12" pizza a personal-sized one.

once, early on, when i was first starting out, i ate a jimmy john's unwich.

well, americans are fat on average.

Do you really think people need a tutorial on how to poop??? Oh wait, I forgot what web site I was on. Carry on.

That sets up a 5/3/1 program. That's great advice for the intermediate or advanced lifter. But the beginner/novice would get much more mileage out of Starting Strength of StrongLifts. Also, why uncheck the 90%? That's part of the secret sauce of the program. It should not even be an option to "uncheck" that.

Yes lots of people do this. 1. Calculate TDEE (use this for example http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html) 2. Subtract a reasonable deficit like 20% or 500 calories 3. Enter that total as calorie target 4. Profit???

Can't blame the producers for capitalizing on what people want to see. I was a friend's place once and Biggest Loser was on in the background. I was able to tolerate about 60 seconds worth before I couldn't take any more and had to go to the other room and wash the pain away with beer.

Dude, I am only just getting started with getting strong. The point I was making is that while listing out a bunch of assistance exercises like this guy did "looks good on paper", the benefit to the NOVICE (which you claim this program is for) is questionable, perhaps even detrimental. When you came back at me asking if I…

I can DL 2.6x my BW. U?

I don't always have weight lifting questions, but when I do, I check the bodybuilding.com forums, especially the specific threads recommended on myfitnesspal.com. LOL do you even lift?

but are you signed up to become a coach? i thought not!

good luck, but there are better ways to make some spare cash. have you considered Amway?

SL 5x5 with a random one-size-fits-all list of assistance work. A novice would get more mileage out of just doing straight up SL 5x5, or better yet Starting Strength. Don't worry about assistance work until you move beyond the novice range. And even then, less is often more.

banana and peanut butter.

oftentimes, you get what you pay for. some of them are downright delicious.

It's almost as if you're trying to deny that unicorns have anything to do with it. Weird.

cool story

omg how dare you call me an elephant! that's so rude!
