    in Muscle Confusion Comment by kreza98 September 2014
  • MyFitnessPal will attempt to calulate a calorie limit for you, but I found this to be a bit low for me. Most people will recommend figuring out your own Base Metabolic Rate and going from there. This means using a formula to determine how many calories you personally burn, not including exercise, in a day. From that you…

  • Same here, I use Liquid Chalk that I got off Amazon and it's lasted ages so far, you don't need to use much at all for it to be effective.
    in Deadlift Grip Strength Comment by kreza98 January 2014
  • It might be worth finding a local personal trainer that would be willing to help you get correct basic form for the main lifts (squat/bench/deadlift etc). Don't get railroaded into doing any silly CV stuff, you just want an hour or two with some ripped dude that knows their way round a barbell and will show you how to lift…

  • Hey - starvation diets are not safe or sustainable. You're doing fine on MFP, and as others have said you probably should be eating more especially if you're working out a lot. MFP starts everyone off on 1200 cals, but our calorie requirements are all different. Find out what yours are (Scooby's TDEE calculator is great…

  • Completely agree with the people above that "going on a diet" will not help in the long run. A lifestyle change is the only thing that works, and eating right is at least 80% of that. If you can get your daily calorie intake under control, you'll drop plenty of weight! You don't actually have to exercise at all to do that,…
    in Depressed and Discouraged Comment by kreza98 July 2013
  • My gym is in my garage, and the only way for me to stay motivated is to work out every morning. I get up at 6am, eat something, wait half an hour, then get in there and do either CV or weights depending on what I did the day before. It's really nice at the moment because it's sunny and warm in the mornings, but winter is…
    in Full time workers, when do you go to the gym? Comment by kreza98 July 2013
  • You shouldn't let other people in your gym bother you. They probably are not thinking about anything other than their own workouts. That said, if your gym is falling short of what you need, you can get by easily at home by setting up your own gear. I would think at the bare minimum you should be investing in some dumbells…
    in Gym Rats Stay Away!!!!!!! Comment by kreza98 April 2013
  • Hi, I gave up all caffeine almost exactly one week ago. I had been drinking at least 2 cans of Diet Coke a day and two or three cups of tea also. I had a headache for about 48 hours after I quit, then mild cold symptoms for a couple of days. I'm now on day 7 and have been going to bed a lot earlier. I've had 8 hours sleep…
