Thank you! This helps tremendously. :) Its nice to feel confident about your routine. Noms + Iron = Happy!!!

Thank you for all your input! This is helpful. My goals are not cardio related, my goal is to reduce my body fat percentage and to increase my lifting gains. I don't particularly enjoy cardio, though I enjoy activities like indoor rock climbing and yoga. If my goals are to reduce my body fat and to maintain LBM, is cardio…

BEST. POST. EVAR. :laugh: :drinker:

Happy Birthday Taunto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:love: :love: :love: :flowerforyou:

STOP BEING BULLIES OR I'M TELLING!

GO TAUNTO.

I think of you every time a few of our cardiologists come into our lab. Does that make me racist? I also think of you when I think of the Hulk and need a super witty comment from a super awesome good looking dude so does that make up for it? :bigsmile:

bump for kittehs

What a great inspiring post!!! Congratulations, you should be proud! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile:

Agreed. Do you even know what atrial fibrillation is? Don't diagnose. Please for the love of all that is sane.

DING DING DING.

I have neither... So no heartbeat for me. Does that mean I'm a zombie? That'd be cool.

Eat at maintenance according to your TDEE and lift heavy weights.

I TOTALLY CAN WATCH ME I'M GONNA EAT 1200 CALORIES AND EXERCISE FOR 2 HOURS EVERYDAY AND I'M GOING TO LOSE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH WEIGHT DON'T BE A HATERRRRRR

I'm sorry... how did you make muscle? Can you tell me how you did that? Were you in a calorie surplus?

GIRL you know it! I'd say hella sexy!

This.

I appreciate the note to your previous post, I did read it. However, by the mere mention of your diet, you are promoting it as part of your success along with the zumba. There is plenty of scientific evidence to back the danger of netting low calories. Please be careful, I wish you healthy, long term success.

1200 calories and 90 min of exercise= hellova dangerous calorie deficit. Thats great you exercise but wow this is overall unhealthy.

Also, FREE WEIGHTS. Noooooooooooo competition. For realsies.

Read Stronglifts or NROL4W. Pick one. That will get you some good reading info, watch youtube videos on how to do the exercises. Then head to your gym and start! Bring a male buddy if you feel you need a spot.

Awesome thread is amazing.

Seriously? BC alone can make you gain weight? Unless I missed the medical marvel in which BC magically creates an excess of calories, the above poster is correct. BC can affect many things, it is hormonal after all, well most are anyways, and it often can increase your appetite or even alter your metabolism some. But…

I was truly inspired by your post. I know you will continue to do great things for you and your body! Keep it up, your progress is great! And yes, handsomest swimming coach ever! :D Thank you for your post!
