Strength is proportionate to the ability to recruit muscle fiber activity. Muscle mass gain from hypertrophy normally comes from extending the amount of time of resistance i.e 8,10-12 rep range. Power or strength is usually associated with shorter "bursts" 1,3-5 rep range. Those looking for strength gains want to shock the…

How many sets of each and how many reps ? I don't think you need to worry about over training legs. You do need to rest and eat to recover is you are trying to grow, rest is when you grow. I stretch, do a 5 minute warm up on the elliptical then do a superset of leg extensions and hamstring curls 4 sets of 10 as heavy as I…

Awesome ! Good work!

I do, I have mine set for 40 % Protein, 40 % Carbs and 20 % Fat that's targeted for fat loss and muscle gain or the PC term "body recompositioning"..lol.. whatever..it's working ! I eat 3200 a day or close to it, I don't eat back calories and just keep my % in check I do drop some carbs or rest days though

Wal-Mart carries Body Fortress it's 15.98 fro two pounds and comes in CHoc, Vanilla and Strawberry.. I like the vanilla 30 grams per scoop !

Gotta love those Doctors ...eat right and exercise .. thats their mantra..of course most of them are 40 or more pounds overweight and the pizza sauce stain on their tie is a great example !..lol... BMI is crap dreamed up by insurance company's to justify charging us all more. When I was 21 I had to go before a medical…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ Good answers so far ! Use this tool to help you establish your calories... your very young and you can damage your metabolism... don't look for overnight success it wont happen that way..slow and steady is safe and lasts a life time if you learn along the way

i WOULD GO BACK TO THE SAME PERSON AND HAVE THEM RE-DO THE CALIPER TEST SO YOU ELIMINATE THAT VARIABLE OF SOMEONE ELSE DOING IT AND SINCE IT'S WHAT YOU ESTABLISHED A BASE LINE WITH. i'M 6'5" 230 POUNDS AND MY BMI IS HIGH BUT MY BF % IS JUST OVER 11 %/ BMI IS NOT ACCURATE IF YOU ARE ANY TYPE OF ATHELETE. i DON'T EVEN…

I'm 6'5" and when I hit 385 I knew it was time for change. I lost over 100 by going to a nutritionist and learning how to eat. After that I joined the gym and lost more. I maintain myself from 228-232 now, still going to the gym 3-4 days a week and at 47 I am in better shape then I was a 27. I have been using MFP for a few…

Congrats !

THIS ^^ MY BF IS 12 % AND BMI SHOWS ME BORDERLINE OBESE

Add me, I am 6'5" 228 at 230 I was 12% BF, not sure now probably 11 will get it measured again next month. Also looking to put on some more muscle.

I list it under circuit training and it shows the calories for the amount of time you do it. I also create my own exercises, do a search for the exercise, if it's not listed click on the add axercise or create new tab and name it what you want , you can also include reps and weight used if applicable

Awesome !

Awesome Job ! keep on rollin' !!

You need to learn to eat, there are alot of people that loose weight but never learn how to eat and eventually they gain the weight because they didn't make a lifestyle change that includes learnig how to eat. I went to a nutritionist and she spent 1.5 hours with me teaching me how to eat, what a cup of food looks like,…

Great work man !

When setting your macros you need to know caloric values of food. Protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram, fat is 9 calories per gram for example if you are eating 2000 calories per day and you follow 30 % F. 30 % P and 40 % carbs you would eat 200 grams of carbs a day, 150 grams protein and 67 grams of fat to equal your…

I lost 100 without the gym, then joined after about a 10 year lay off as well. I lost the next 50 and have been going for the last 18 months or so 3 or more days a week. I have an awesome workout partner and that has really helped me push myself, I am thankful for that but I still go whether or not they can make it. You…

I'm 6'5" 230 and eat 3000 a day, I do a push/pull split and sometimes full body work outs with 2-3 hours cardio a week. My macro's are 30% fat 30% protein and 40 % carbs

I work 2 12 hour day shift and 2 12 hour nights each week. It took a little while to gt used to but I eat every 4 hours

I would say dive in and start working out ! After a couple of weeks start making some adjustments if you need to. The scale is not going to be your friend you need to be more aware of how you feel, how you look in the mirror and how your clothes fit. Make sure you stay hydrated and get enough sleep to give your body the…

You can't want it for somebody, they have to want it for themselves or it's never going to work. If she is truly your BFF accept her for who she is.

I use this calculator http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ 20 % under your TDEE is a steep cut, I would start at 10 % after 30 days if you aren't getting progress with all the exercise you will be doing I would be surprised. If not go to 15 % and see,.. 30 P / 30 F / 40 C is good to start with. My .02…

No but I used a different calculator to set my calories and macros I just use MFP to count the calories and macros for me. I eat 3000 a day with 25 % fat 35 % carbs and 40% protein as I am "re-compositioning" as well.. aka adding muscle while loosing fat. So far so good

I eat cottage cheese as my last snack before bed for the casein, i'm old school and still full of "bunk"..I guess..lol.. I work shift's also and you gotta get in your food when you can.
