Re-watching Sopranos. My girls never seen it so she needs the education

I like the most basic straps, the ones without rubber grips. Just plain straps, no padding either. They're cheap too.

To of hired a good quality PT from the off. Would of saved me a lot of years in achieving my physique. That you can't out train a bad diet. Not to call myself a powerlifter so I could justify eating like a pig, I didn't even compete. To not look down on bodybuilding. I should of learnt their techniques and approach to…

You look on point! Did you place? I did my first show a month back, what a buzz! Back on stage again 2nd of July, can't wait.
-
Damn thats low fat, I'm at 160g right now, bet you're suffering! You're looking sharper though.
-
Yeah it was anxiety that messed me up, had never suffered from it before but had some events happen in my life that just floored me. Didn't work for 3 months, lost a lot of weight, they thought it was colitis for a while as one of my blood markers came back positive for it. Once I got the diagnosis of stress induced IBS it…

Loooooooool yeah sure becuase mayo is as good a food source as guacamole. This forum is comical.

Steak instead of spam. Guacamole instead of mayo. Butter instead of margarine. Etc etc.

On re feed days I try to stick to white meat and fish. With all those carbs going in, when your system isn't used to it then I prefer to give my body more easily digestible protein, so by default my fat drops as I'm avoiding red meat. I'm also happy to lower my overall protein intake on re feed days due to the carbs being…
-
Carbs... whatever you are left with to maintain the same amount of protein and total calories you are currently on. You should be good with 100g and it should allow you to keep up training intensity especially if eaten around the workouts and incorporating proper re-feeds. I should add that I recommend carbs around…

I'd eat more good fat throughout the day.
-
I'd increase cardio before cutting calories. Personally I'd prefer more fat and less carbs when cutting, 100g fat minimum. The carbs I do consume would be centered pre and post workout only. If you were to lower carbs and drop fat I'd recommend a high carb day once a week to begin with.
-
Mountain biking...a full days bedroom cardio...all good fun. Plain old walking can't be beaten too, I love getting up early and walking around the local lake, starts my day right both physically and mentally.
-
I gained 10lb in 5 days recently and I can't of eaten more that 3k calories in that time. Got ill and retained a ton of water, it doe's happen. I went on to drop it all over the next week. I put on 15lb in 3 days post contest but there was a bit more than 3k calories involved with that one!

His lats are fine, just insert a little high. As for the question...dunno...won't stop me trying to attain the look regardless of the answer.

Stress can destroy the way you process food, stress induced IBS is a thing. OP I assume your body doesn't allow you to eat enough food and when you do you don't process it properly? I found walking, meditation and yoga helped me, essentially taking control and being aware of my breathing helped me to calm my digestive…

Google DRX arm routine, do it for 3 weeks and report back.
-
Ask him if you can split the dose and pin weekly...I mean I know you can and it'll be better for you but I don't want you getting into trouble with doc. Stable levels are everything, in fact once a week is too little with sust for stable levels but I don't want to go further than this seen as though I'm pretty sure this…

Take each day at a time and try not to look at the overall goal or it may seem daunting. In essence weight loss is easy regardless of the amount you have to lose, small, good decisions on a daily basis...that's all there is too it. Also try to remember to enjoy the journey. Relish losing 10lb and how it makes you feel, the…

Well I don't get back from the gym until 10.30pm, so I'm eating my biggest meal around 11pm, go to bed at 12pm, never done me any harm. In fact I think having my system full of nutrients while I sleep may well be a good thing.
-
Maybe it's not so unpopular and it's just the fact I have too many Crossfitters on my facebook!
-
Weight loss isn't a big, scary decision...it's making several, small decisions, day in day out and being consistent with those good choices. You don't have to turn your life upside down, it needn't be a big thing. One small good decision at a time...start now...you CAN do it.
-
No, I'm the one saying that. In fact what I originally said is I don't agree with the notion that compounds are the be all and end all and that I think isolation work is important. From my own experience I spent my formative years buying into the compounds only meme. I've spent the last 2 years trying to bring my arms up…
-
You mention high end coaches, biochemical engineers...not really the point I'm making. The untrained newb, read a few articles, telling someone with a great physique that the way they got there was wrong. It's that lack of humility, the close mindedness. Sure they might not of got there 'optimally' but they're there and…

Most PED users look like utter s@%t, trust me. They really aren't magic, not even GH is. Believe it or not but I've lived both sides here and I know the score. Yes someone with higher test will have more muscle mass by default, doesn't mean they won't look like a fat, watery mess with hypertension if they don't remain…

Columbo over here! You look great fella, well done.

Good to know it's more accepted where you live. I still have a lot of stigma to contend with, comically a lot of it from my own parents...who are both alcoholics in denial. To be fair it's much more of a Joe Public thing, I haven't really experienced any negativity from those involved in fitness. Funny though...if you ask…
-
I'm saying though...if you lift, if you do yoga, if you run, basically if you do anything physical with the need to control your body then mind muscle connection SHOULD be an aim. Isolation work will help you achieve that and I feel like on this forum it's seen as the devil and a waste of time...which is entirely wrong.…
-
If creating a stronger mind muscle connection isn't part of your goals when you lift then I don't really know what to say to you, regardless, isolation exercises will achieve just that. Note how I don't say omit compounds. Why do you mention a carb? Could be anything that causes the water retention. My point is 500…
