Maybe you should watch what you eat? If that makes any sense of course. :-)

Simply inspirational. Congrats to you all. Keep it up.

most times, I eat late. heck, I eat any time but I also try to drink a lot of water. So at night, if suddenly I feel hungry, I just drink me some more water and most times, it works. try that.

Now I'm all about packing the muscle and no belly fat. I'm good. As for the BMI, its total BS so I don't even worry about it.

WOW! Just WOW! Good job!

hmmm...should I give this a try? )) think I will.

go dancing :-)

You welcome mate. I figured a lot of people are in this same boat and create this post. Anyways I'm on a diet right now - google mens fitness rock challenge nutrition plan. Its low in carbs and high in protein which is essential to what you want to achieve. Mostly, I strength train now - just started (with the SL 5x5). My…

er...))

hey man, yes we can do it. How far are you with your progress. Mind to share? :smile:

Excellent job well done!

Great job. How did you do it?

Thanks again to EVERYONE for your contributions and responses. At the moment I think the right thing for me will be 1. Eating at a slight deficit and sticking to my diet 2. Strength training. (SL 5x5 or ALL Pro or Starting Strength) Me thinks, doing the above should yield some good result say in a month or two for…

Thank you VERY very much! Informative. Never even knew about those

Thanks. Yes, I've received some emails but none yet on knee pain. But I do agree that correct form is VITAL! working on that.

dont know how you guys/ladies did it but woooh! goodness, you've all really tried!

Hi flex500 and thanks for the post. Could you explain the highlighted. a little confused by what you meant!

Good tips. Thanks!

Wow! Brilliant!

Going through the SL 5x5, I see that you do a lot of squats (about 3 times a week). Will that not be detrimental to my aims as I have some niggling knee problem? Or will that even make me feel better?

Hi and welcome and here is to you and your 'gang" reaching your goals. :-)

hmm..thanks. guess I can try this out!

Personally and I'm still very much in the learning process, I do cardio before and after weight lifting. Believe you me, I can already see some slight gains or maybe its just an illusion. haha. not giving up though!

Its ok to "beat" yourself and that means you are already on the RIGHT path. Believe in yourself and be ready to put in some hard work. In no time, you will be singing a new song.

Doing that right about now. My target this year is to get ripped and then maintain it. Update: Registered and dearie me, thats a load of information to digest but I'm for it! Strength and muscles, here I come. haha!

Thanks. Now this is a different perspective you are bringing in. Quite interesting I must say. Eating at TDEE - 10%? Will that not be too big a deficit. I'm a novice here but willing to learn. Gaining muscle vs gaining strength? How do I achieve this aside eating at TDEE - 10%/15%? Anyone else agree on this?

Thanks for your post. I must admit that I'm far from the well conditioned athlete. lol but then I don't even look fat yet I weight 93kg now. In any case, I've started eating at a slight deficit and doing some weight lifting 3 times a week. That should help to reach my target.

Thanks again. Very helpful of you. Yes, I originally set to 3000 but most of it as I see it are carbs. maybe I should reduce that though the app (my fitness pal) does not allow me to do that. will just do the calculations on my own I guess. Funny that I've got a 700ml bottle as well .lol. and I try to drink water as much…

Thanks a lot for your reply. Digesting all what I have read now. Happy days are here! :-)
