Wait, you mean I won't get hyooooge sitting on the couch and pounding ISOPURE every two hours? damn

No, it's not too much. 5g/day is a pretty standard dose, but depending on your muscle mass, you can use more. I'm presently using 5g on off days and 15g on training days and there have been no ill effects in a few months.

It's just a healthy fat. If you're already taking fish oil, flax, MCT, etc, it's not going to do anything.

Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup. Magic healing powers.

It's possible. Hypertrophy depends on time under tension, but the tension needs to be significant enough to elicit a training response. If you're below 70% of your max for the 15-20 reps, you're probably not going to get a hypertrophic training response (in other words, you're doing cardio).

Starting Strength Stronglifts 5x5 New Rules of Lifting for Women You go to PF, I thought they outlawed meatheads? Tell them to GTFO your way. You have work to do.

Me too, and I wish I could DL my truck.

Forgot about this thread. I pulled 500 in January, but failed at 495 or 500 a few times since. In my competition on Saturday I pulled 475, 505, 525 for my three attempts and hit all of them.

I'll post vids when the vid guy uploads them.

Eat at a caloric deficit and do a strength training program that focuses on barbell training with progressive overload, complimented by cardio.

Before and after or progress photos are great for reassuring your progress and creating short term goals. I send my progress photos to a trainer who is a competitive body builder to honestly assess my progress. I am never happy with my pics, but getting the objective responses from my trainer on what is improving and what…

I have not had that effect. Though if I did, I would use it right before I hit the buffet so I could get the most for my money.

Yeah, if I hit my squat at 500, I'd have been in the neighborhood. Lots of work to do. When I started training I thought it would be really cool to go 3/4/5/...now I'm thinking 4/5/6 sounds pretty cool. Again, LOTS of work to do.

I remember a saying a DJ in DC used to say about boobs on a fat chick: "No breast is ever attractive if it's resting on a stomach." I think that works.

Ok, guys, back to the important stuff... Do Snooki's boobs count?

How annoyed would you be as a coach if dozens of strangers from the internet started emailing you about a RS Fr. squat video at the prompting of his mother? Let's cut the kid a break and NOT do that.

Yeah, laxatives plus max effort squatting equals disaster! Thanks guys.

Alright, now...how did this thread die?

Motorola S9 or S10 bluetooth. No wire. Sweet.

I didn't do the math, but you've lost six pounds, so as long as you don't eat 21,000 calories over your target for the day, you won't undo all the work you've done so far.

There you go, I put in some rest so it's not crossfit anymore.

If your HR doesn't drop below 125 while lifting, you're either doing a very long Crossfit session or you're not lifting properly. Lift when it's lifting time. Do cardio when it's cardio time.

Progressive overload, FTW.

Gluten is found in wheat, rye, OATS, and barley, so stay away from oats. Even some that claim to be GF break me out, so I don't even try it. Some of the Chex cereals are GF, just look a the box.

I want to learn more about how a triathlete has these long lean muscles versus the BB who has short bulky muscles. Cuz they diffr'nt, amiright?

Do a barbell based strength program for six months and see how much more effective it is. Use P90 (if you have to) for cardio on your off days.

Squats and Dead Lifts

patti, don't you think the whole theme about your son would go away if you stopped chiming in about him, specifically? We get it. Triathletes are skinny compared to BB's. He's a triathlete. Compared to a BB, he's skinny. Compared to a skinnyfat office worker who doesn't train, he's ripped. He's your son and you love him…

OP, please do as Californiagirl says and please do not do anything Jillian Michaels. Jillian got the body she has by doing what CG does. She just markets BS cardio DVD's because she knows people will buy them.
