Keep sodium levels consistent (either always high or always low, your body adapts to the amount of sodium you give it over time) and eat at a caloric deficit.

MTS Whey or Optimum Nutrition Whey

Try to get at least two servings of fruit and vegetables per day. Aim for about 1g/lb bodyweight of protein, and anywhere between 0.25-0.35 g/lb bodyweight in fats. Fill the rest in with carbs so that you are in a caloric deficit. I would start high and walk my way down to the rate you want to lose, i.e 1lb/week, 2lbs/week…

People that feel the need to judge others to make themselves feel better are insecure, and honestly wasting their time. Do your best to ignore these people as best you can and focus on yourself. Your opinion of yourself is what matters, and other people's opinions alone can't physically stop you from reaching your goals,…

I agree with baptiste on the full body split, it seems like it would be more effective for you if you are only training 3 times per week. A couple of problems with training to failure - If you train to failure on your first exercise, e.g. incline bench press, you won't be as strong for your other exercises, say if you had…

I would strongly recommend hiring a good trainer for a few months, or if you have a friend that is knowledgeable about training. While youtube videos and books help show you different exercises, you won't really know if you are doing them correctly without someone there to watch and help as you are doing them. A good…

Eat a giant steak and some potatoes

Trey Anastasio and the Pittsburgh symphony orchestra, honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Second to that would be seeing Joe Bonamassa live, he is just disgustingly good at guitar, doesn't miss a note.

I'm a guitar and keyboard player. I currently play a gibson les paul standard 05' with seymour duncan jb jazz humbucker pickups. I also play acoustic with a taylor dd3. I usually play through an egnater renegade combo amp, but have recently picked up an Eleven rack, which has completely changed my opinion on amp modellers,…

Yes, this is mainly for if you are interested in macros, if you only care about calories, you could just do quick add calories.

Carbs: Russet Potatoes Green Giant Frozen Veggies (usually 5 for 5$ at target) Reeses puffs cereal or Cinnamon Toast Crunch Skim Milk High Fiber Oatmeal Quaker Ezekiel Raisin Bread Rice Cakes Snyders Sourdough Pretzels Whole Wheat Wraps Thai Jasmine Rice Whole wheat pasta Bannanas, Apples, Blueberries Beans +Corn+ green…

Yeah you can take as much as you want in one sitting, just make sure you've got enough fiber for the day or you'll be ****ting bricks lol

I like to mix them with rice + corn +cheese+ lettuce and throw em in a burrito

Lol sweet tats, but yeah all you gotta worry about is the macros of the food, and micros such as vitamins. Usually foods are labeled "Clean" because they have a good macro/micro nutrient profile that will make it easier to hit your numbers.

Quick and easy, ya gotta jump on some rice cakes, they got all kinds of flavors.

Make sure you got the crisp game on lock, proper bacon crisp strength can make or break any type of bacon whether its turkey or the real thing!!! Careful not to burn it though, haven't had turkey bacon in awhile but all i have tried have been good whenever I've achieved strong crisp levels!!! Microwave longer than the…

Marinated baked chicken breast with rice or potatoes + frozen veggies is usually what I have

Hasn't been too bad so far, I usually go between 5-6. The ones that piss me off are the ones with no courtesy or etiquette, e.g those who don't re-rack weights, take forever, curl in the squat rack when its crowded, sweat gallons and don't wipe down bench, etc... I try not to be smug about it though because there are…

Celebrate and then set a new goal!

I usually prep stuff once or twice a week and then freeze/refrigerate the leftovers to take to work. Breakfast ideas: Oatmeal, Bagels, Almonds (or any kind of nuts), Protein shake, Fruit Lunch ideas: Potatoes, Pasta, Green Giant boxed vegetables, Rice, Chicken, Pork, Beef Snacks: Rice cakes w/ peanut butter, fruit

Rice cakes w/ peanut butter, PB+J Sandwich, Crackers, Pretzels, Nuts, Cereal

For shoulders you could try Arnold press or DB shoulder press. Basically more pressing is going to help you get better at OHP. I would do them on the same day and maybe add them to your bench press day as well, as long as your OHP and Bench days are far enough apart where you can recover, just watch your volume and don't…

I use ON 100% gold standard Whey, they have loads of flavors, I really like cookies+cream and vanilla ice cream. Tastes good to me in water, even better in milk. You get a decent amount of 24g protein servings for the price, around $52 for 5 lbs at vitamin shoppe.

What kind of diet are/were you on to lose weight you have lost and then gained back? How difficult was the diet to follow? How difficult was your training program to follow? I think a lot of people feel like they need to suffer in order to diet properly, when really for most people it should be a slow process that allows…

hahahaha this guy speaks the truth, also if you aren't getting enough fiber you're going to ship bricks.

In short, you can work a muscle whenever you want as long as it doesn't get in the way of recovery. People usually combine muscle groups based on whatever compound movement is done that day. So for example, on a day where somebody does bench press, they are hitting mostly chest, triceps, a little shoulders, so after they…

I think daily weight averaged over a week is pretty accurate as long as your weighing yourself at the same time each day. Then you can see if you are on track of losing ____ lbs per week.

Some gyms have day care centers, maybe look into one of those? Do you have family nearby or a friend that could watch them while you workout?

You can try Romanian Deadlifts too, which would eliminate the bar height problem, you can rack the bar at around knee/thigh level on the lower part of the squat rack. All good advice in this thread, form is very important here. I prefer Sumo Deadlifts when I am lifting straight off the ground, more comfortable for me,…

Big fan of the rice/corn/black beans medley
