  • I thought you were an idiot and now you have gone out of your way to prove it. trolling wastes about nothing of my time, it must be hard to actually think of nonsense to respond to very lateral thinking. Or you are that stupid, therefore go to Jillian Michaels. feeeck orffff with you unsound rhetoric and I pity DAS FOO who…
  • There is a DVD, here was me thinking that he was an advert supported free site with all the information available. As you know, there are more workouts than Jumping Jacks.
  • Well said, you can do many things to muscle but making muscle longer is not possible. Unless of course the aliens do a probe thing in the dark place and then would the muscle be longer or wider.
  • Many beans have the correct Essential Amino Acids that the body needs. Of course peanuts are a bean and you are not eating those, did your Doctor really say avoid nuts and seeds? I would have perhaps thought that he is looking at Glutamate reaction as a migraine cause. As for something new and entirely different but is…
  • "That means this guy should continue doing this? Not sure I agree with the "Hurr durr I do what I want and I'm going to continue to do it, even if you advise me that I could seriously injure myself." " Then can i tell you to stop running marathons as distance running accumulates more long-term serious injuries than just…
  • go to nowloss.com and follow the workouts on that site, all short but action packed and I am sure that doing them 2-3 times a day will help you reach your weight loss goals.
  • Great training advise, if you are that great. Terrible life advice, unless of course you're an egomaniacal sociopath with huge narcissistic tendencies and an overwhelming overestimation of your personal worth to society. Not that you would care about society because you are too busy saying **** YOU to everyone.
  • I have an FT1 that does not and I suspect the FT2 also does not calculate. But I am not the OP.
  • shapesense.com has a great heart rate to calories burned calculator which takes seconds to complete. If you visit that site also check out VO2 max calculator and VO2 Max tests - all helps with accurate calorie counting from exercise. And like the other poster said, anaerobic strength training is difficult to calculate a…
  • A variety of matching tires and sledgehammers. throw tires, lift tires, beat tires, drag tires, fast feet through tires, press tires, row tires, the joy of tires - prefer tyres though being British.
  • When I mentioned Ladders in an earlier post, it is a reverse pyramid - start at the high number and go down and then back up (back up - never been done I up the DB weight). I do not focus on one exercise but usually 6 exercises and I start at 8 on each. e.g. lunges with dumbbells resting on shoulders (I keep my back…
  • I believe Battle Ropes are pretty much the upper body CV/resistance choice for personal trainers, and hand over hand rope pulls and of course simple seated row, 20% of one rep max and go until knackered or dumbbell pistons - requires standing.
  • You can count reps and make a game of tabata or HIRT, or as a measure of improvement. Example - front squats with DB's - 1st round - 15 reps, 2nd rd 15r, 3rd rd 15r, 4th rd 10 r, and then count reps on last round which in some cases may be zero, and of course if you peaked during any round and had to skip a round that…
  • It is not the worst advice but HIRT would reduce the time issue and get the aerobic and anaerobic response or put another way aerobic endurance with catabolic burn or another way breathless, sweat, fat burn, Type II muscle development and all done in 40 minutes. Yes it can be done. Just avoid the machines, unless it is a…
  • Not meant to discourage, just that people need to know what is High Intensity and what is doing things a little bit harder for 20 seconds. I love all sorts of HiiT but mainly use HIRT to get maximal heart rate. Also, progressive ladders bodyweight or with resistance I find gives ME the best workout in a 40 minute burst of…
  • I see now why you like your PSA Nazi rules at the gym article.
  • Big three is just to make people who cannot do pullups or weighted pullups feel better about themselves.
  • My mind is boggling as to how BOR's end up exposing the old block and tackle. The insidious one that I have observed is sit ups and basically any supine floor exercise but only in men who insist that running shorts are the thing to wear in a gym. Wear a dress for allI care, but at least no freeballing or female equivalent.
  • Passive aggressive, much.
  • I was making a broad brush stroke with the term "self-worth" but if the cap fits and all that.
  • Is fitness linked to be comfortable in your own skin so much so you can only take on the world by being fit? Seems a very narrow viewpoint. Can you not be unfit and still take on the world? Seems like you are not wanting to know about athletes but about psychology and a sense of self-worth I spend a lot of time thinking…
  • Athletes compete, it is the ability to compete against your peers and be more successful than them. A long distance runner has different needs ot achieve results than a Javelin thrower. are you asking at what point do individuals feel fit or how do individuals reach their personal goals?
  • Please read this article, it certainly changed my view of what HIIT and the Tabata Protocol is and how it is done. It will certainly get you over this notion of 4 minutes and/or 20 minutes. Also an interval timer times intervals, the important part of HIIT is HIGH INTENSITY but the definition of what HIGH INTENSITY is will…
  • I am assuming that the weight is the number on the machine and is not representative of weight actual weight.
  • If you follow that as reference, you are not doing HIIT.
  • It will sound harsh but yes, the use of arms to place items near the mouth for the mouth to consume is an exercise best avoided. Calorie controlled diet is the key and time. Fat lays where it wants when it wants and no exercise in the world will target fat in particular area. A balanced program of calorie control, cardio…
  • Opinions are like *kitten*. What a PT should do strength endurance balance flexibility aerobic improvement Account for what you want your body to do, work wise and sports wise - commonly called functional training Total conditioning If you want to bodybuild, find a bodybuilder want to power lift, find a powerlifter What…
  • ROFL - gym ellipticals are more than capable of getting you to MaXHR and the resistance setting I have seen professional cyclists unable to move the pedals on an elliptical. I do HIIT all the time on ellipticlas, in fact the Life Fitness Machine at level 17 set at 4 minutes for Intervals gives an almost perfect Tabata set,…
  • How do you know bananas did not work, maybe it was everything else that was bad diet wise in your life that did not do anything for you? recommending powerade is like recommending salt, which of course is grea for keeping cramps at bay but not the solution to a problem.
