bodybuilding.com has a large selection of free workouts, videos of exercises, and specific training programs. This is just ONE example: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beginner_weight_training.htm There are plenty more for different goals. Nice thing about bb, they have videos of each exercise in a program, so its great…

A suspension trainer. Chest, legs, abs, biceps, tris .... can be set up in a hallway at home. Best first thing to get IMO. TRX is popular, or cheaper jungle gym XT http://www.sportsauthority.com/LIFELINE-USA-Jungle-Gym-XT/product.jsp?productId=11511876

I loved the 610. Great device, used it as my everyday watch. Most of these devices aren't as suitable as a regular watch. The 620 also is "watchable". :) 620 has cooler features, can swim with 620, and bluetooth can be neat to use with your phone ... 610 only has ant+, some phones (galaxy s4 and up) have ant+ also. So…

anyone else know of an APP, not hardware, that will work with HRMs on android? Thanks!

I"m not a big fan of home gyms with lots of plates or stations, I like basics as previous poster mentioned. What facilities do you have to work with? 1) ****s sporting goods has an entry level decent squat cage for $400. Really good used ones can be had on craigslist maybe once every 3 months for $600. 1A) squats in the…

OK. Sounds like you've internetted the squat to death. :-) IF you have internetted squats a lot, and you still have issues, I'd recommend another source of info. What's your location? What city? I'd try to find some powerlifters, and have them work with your squat some. Hands on feedback from experts could help. Barring…

Catman's leg workout is a pretty standard protocol, hits the main parts, great base leg workout. I might add "deadlifts" or at least Romanian DL (straight leg DL), best would be glute / ham, or ultra deep squats / leg presses, essentially I would add an additional hamstring exercise or two to Catman's leg workout, as…

Which sick is sick? And what workout is workout? Your body has a wonderful ability to heal itself. If you are very sick, you're body eventually (usually) gets healthy, and if you have a really big lifting workout, you tear up your muscles and your body can heal / build your muscles up bigger and stronger than before. But,…

Double fail is double fail. 1) You seem to understand the first fail, you must eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight. On and off on and off and you've made no progress. Totally expected. Sounds like you've turned this around, you say you're logging more now and its working. GREAT! 2) I'll also point out " I have…

ROFL but ... first time I heard it, I love broscience. :)

Fast is relative. You'll see that over in the weight loss forums. "how do I lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks" answer? you don't. Why do you want to "bulk up"? To get better sports performance? Because you want to look good? There could be different solutions ..... Ok, there's plenty on here in the forums on how to figure many…

yes. how fast? and why do you want to? 10 pounds of muscle in a year is easy for intermediate athletes. Doable in 9 months, but harder. Not going to happen in 3 months, so a "gain 10 pounds of muscle real quick to make Dr happen" is not really an option. Why did you do all that hard work in the first place? So you can have…

Have you tried higher frequency instead of higher calories? Eating "too much" at one sitting will be converted to fat. Even if he's lifting / working out, you can only "use" so much protien (varies greatly by individual, but, say 30 grams ish) per feeding. Eating every 3 hours can often put on more lean mass than eating 3…

+1 on emotions / imbalances creating the binges, you may need to look there and fix things. and / or How often do you eat? Look, as humans, we are genetically engineered to NOT be able to not eat. Those groups of humans that really enjoyed not eating? Well, they didn't eat and died out before they had kids, leaving those…

"true noobies", who just got off the couch after 6 years, can pretty much do ANYTHING for the first 6 months, and get better endurance, strength, weight loss and looks. "beginners" (which can last for years) don't work out enough or hard / intense enough. They workout, for hours and hours over the course of a year, and…

I'm a 300 pound endomorph athlete. I, am a talented and gifted EATER. (sort of have to be in the 300 pound range) I'm 43. Started wrestiling when I was 5. Lots of wrestlers dieted. Today, I bench 405 for reps, and have benched 587. I've been involved in competitive powerlifting, and lots of powerlifters diet. I know…

People squatting in my curl rack. :)

Yep, haven't seen a way to connect garmin directly to MFP. But are there ANY sites that let you upload HRM to MFP? I have Garmin. I also have a Timex. I can upload GPS and HRM to different sites, Garmin connect and Trainingpeaks are the two biggest, but there are others, e.g. I know I can upload garmin to strava, but I…
