So eat all the meat and just nibble on the rice - Eastcoast Jim

Deep squats - all the way to the ground , and dead lifts - Just what Miss Canada said - Eastcoast jim

I understand it to be 12 days - that obviously could vary a couple days either way depending on the person and situation - so you are OK at 4 days - Eastcoast Jim

Overhead presses, military, or dumbbell - Do them heavy with the barbell - you can cheat up the last few with your legs - don't drop the bar on your head. Finish with higher rep dumbbells - Arnold presses are good - guess who they are named after? Eastcoast Jim

Hi - your trainer is dumb -Strong lifts is a fine proven program Find some one who can couch you on proper form - one suggestion you might want to do the lifts at high reps (10 -15) for a month or so - this will help get your work on your form and help get joints& tendons ready for the heavier weights - on the deadlifts -…

Today for breakfast I had a pork chop, fried eggs and a tomato + coffee - Eastcoast Jim

I would squat & dead lift but start very light - maybe just the bar - or body weight squats. Straight leg deadlifts & good mornings are great to strengthen the posterior chain - get some instruction on proper form first. They are not dangerous if done properly. Eastcoast Jim

good videos - Jennifer Thompson's advice & technique is similar to Dave Tate's found a video of Laura Phelps Sweat squatting 775 !!! World Record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So8VWJtlP2w Kara has hit 501 I think Eastcoast Jim

Nice pull bro - that is a chunk of weight - Eastcoast Jim

You can go high intensity until you are tired - coast until you are rested - then do it again -Eastcoast Jim

Just keep progressing - add a 1 lb each workout and you are + 100 in a year Males have stronger upper bodies and can press more on that note check this video out --- Kara Bohigian benching 402 @ 148lbs Eastcoast Jim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpw-NcYXDIQ

I tell them the same thing - Then I say "nothing but coffee and ice in the cup" - I still get a milkshake looking drink 80% of the time - Eastcoast Jim

Your diet will determine how much you weigh - exercise ( lifting weights) will determine weather that weight is muscle or fat - Eastcoast Jim

Countrybabe -That's nice tattoo work you have

Are you doing steady state cardio? It doesn't work so good for weight loss - Do short duration, high intensity- something like short sprints , 20 - 50 yards but all out for that distance - rest and do some more, rest as needed, you will need the rest if your intensity is there, uphill sprints are great if you have a…

Be careful of that " Diet" food a lot of it can be dangerous - Low Fat generally means extra sugar - read the label - it might not say sugar but learn the code - any word the ends in ... ose is sugar of some kind. You're better off just sticking with meat, eggs, veggies & fruit

There's a dairy near my parents' home that produces non-homogenized, low-temp-pasteurized, Jersey milk. They sell it in glass half-gallon bottles. You have to shake the milk up before pouring a glass, to mix the cream back in that's risen to the top. Wonderful stuff! [/quote] We had that when I was a kid -The bottles with…

Just continue on - If you have trouble at 2 weeks maybe you want to plan a cheat meal @ 2 weeks - go for pizza on a Saturday

There are lots of great suggestions, but be careful with Nutella there is a lot of sugar, the hazel nut part is fine but it has 21 gm of sugar per serving - it is not a healthy food - nutritionally it's close to a snickers bar - Eastcoast Jim

I use a good olive oil most of the time - just pour it on

Hi from Lake Wales, Fl. - It's sunny here too

Small town Central Fl. - Lake Wales

I will not have margarine in my house - I don't trust the processed fat - eat real food and butter is real food - there is no real difference in the cals any way. plus it tastes really good

I'll echo what everyone else says - you look fine -not skinny , not fat. you can't add fat just in your hips, but you can add muscle and get a better shape and more definition. Start squatting - deep - When you squat deep you will use your posterior chain to get out of the hole - that's you hamstrings and butt - you'll use…

I was a Nuclear Cardiac Tech - Now semi retired / self employed - Thank you Obama care

Nothing - I'm stuffed - just had bed time snack - chicken, cheddar cheese and a protein drink. Today was squat day - Eastcoast Jim

You can get bags of spinach/kale to use for salads, what ever veggies you like, bags of frozen veggies are quick and easy, If you cook a roast , chicken or a turkey you will have left overs for a while -that's a real time saver. stir fry is quick & easy. Get some extra virgin olive oil for your salad, coconut oil for…

If I'm going to cheat - I cheat big- pizza, ice cream, Krispy Kreems , eat like a pig and no counting -you get the idea. If it's going to be a high carb day then it's a little more structured - sweet potato, rice, oatmeal banana, or a pb& j sandwich, those day are usually squat days or a day off after a squat day

What do you have for breakfast?

You can start by picking them up and putting them over your head in various ways. Google Goblet Squat and Overhead Squat and do those. When the mason jars get too light get some real weights and squat, overhead press, clean and do pull ups. That will work wonders for your mid- section, plus give you sexy arms, legs & back.…
