Already registered for the Fenway race in November and the Boston Sprint in June. Looking for a Super to sign up for before heading to Killington next September so that I can earn my trifecta!

I did a lot or research before buying mine and I ended up going with the Power Blocks. Power Block are definitely built WAY better than all of the rest, depending on the model they can be upgraded to include more weight should you need it, SUPER durable and also are not nearly as bulky as the Bow Flex. I have had mine for…

Speak for yourself!!!! Currently on a bulk using IIFYM and I have Pop Tarts all the time for a snack (well not for every carb like you said)...they are a perfect way to get 400 calories in. Currently eating to 3200-3400 calories a day so every chance I get to get some high calorie snacks in I do!!!! Ps. Peggy Lawton…

Washing a car is probably 50 calories. Laying down afterwards is -50 calories. So basically you broke even.

Peanut Butter & Nutella sandwich washed down with a big glass of whole milk. You have now hit your calories for the day...and you are welcome!

Boo Berry > Count Chocula > Franken Berry And yes, I have a box of each at my house right now! :)

Not doing this years, but I started training 2 months ago so that I could run the VT Beast in 2016. It's been my motivator through the past months and it is what I am going to use to stay motivated through the winter. I have also been telling all my friends and family that I am going to run it so that I stay accountable.…

Just finished a cut and switching to a bulk. Target is approximately 3150 calories a day to start and ramping up by approximately 50 every 2 weeks. Just picked up a bunch of CC Cookies, Pop Tarts and Ice Cream to help me hit the daily targets. I love bulking!!!! :) ...and before anybody asks, Yes those all fit my macro…
-
I have done T25 and love it...just remember that even with the workout, diet will account for 90% of your results. Get your macros in line or else you will not see much in terms of a physical difference.
-
The simplified answer: * If you are trying to gain weight or put on muscle (bulk) you need to be in a calorie surplus. * If you are trying to lose weight (cut) you need to be in a calorie deficit. You cannot do both at the same time (except in rare cases of body recomps) so you need to cycle between the two.
-
^ This! Just keep in mind that some of the loss will be muscle.
-
Eat whever the hell you like...just eat. Buy a few pints of Ben & Jerry's and have at it. As long as it fits in your macros then eat it. Ps. I am also 5'10" and work an office job and my bulk (which I am currently in) is 2,800 and I am older (slower metabolism). Unless you are not doing any type of working out (which would…

Powerblocks! Get a set and you can basically work every set of muscles with different routines. Best fitness investment I have ever made.
-
As others have said (and you have not responded to)...it makes no difference what you eat if your goal is to lose weight. Just eat under your total daily requirement and you will lose. Setup your Macros correctly and you will lose the belly fat. Health is another issues. Eating crap will not give you the nutrients you…

Buy a new Protein powder. Check out On Gold Standard Whey. Chocolate (either Malt or Double Rich) mixed with low fat milk tastes like a dessert. Try to stay away from Vanilla unless you are making puddings/sludges as they typically are the least desireable. For a Protein Vanilla Pudding thry this: * 1/2 Packet Jell-O Sugar…

Body recomposition is possible for beginners and people at a higher body fat %. It becomes less possible as your body fat % decreases and you achieve and increase in muscle mass.
-
Not really. I understand you cannot gain muscle and lose weight at the same time because you need a calorie deficit, however you NEED protein to preserve the muscle that you have...especially while doing exercise like Bootcamp and the gym (which I take it as meaning weight training). What about that is not true???
-
"Hitting the gym" and "bootcamp" requires a muscle build. Bodybuilding implies adding muscle and reducing fat...not becoming a HULK. Increase in muscle mass will result in a leaner body and higher metabolism / fat loss. And this is another reason why I suggest the lower end of the protein scale.
-
Nope! General guidelines below, however I estimated at the lower end of the protein scale as a minimum recommendation. And yes, I understand that there are studies that range all over the place and there is no one size the fits all! "General 'bodybuilding' guidelines for protein would be as follows: - Moderate bodyfat and…
-
Just looking at your diary, I can see that your calories are high, protein is WAY to low and carbs are to high. Need to get your macros in order. Stick to around 1800 calories regardless of your calories burned (for a more specific goal you need to calculate your TDEE), at least .8 grams of protein per poun, .4 grams of…
-
"exercise 5times a week " What does that mean??? You may be focusing too much on the food part and not enough on the workout / routine part. Are you lifting or doing cardio (or both). If you want to gain then start lifting heavy. Full body compound movements 3 times per week. Something like an AllPro workout would work.…

2750 and maintaining. Need to add another 250 daily next week.

This is the same person that ALSO claims to walk 30 miles every day while only consuming 1,375 calories which is a huge negative calorie daily intake. He may be losing weight now, but the damage he is doing to his body long term could be tremendous and irreversible. Please do not listen to ANY of his advice! Edit to add:…
-
Set your macros...do not follow the default. Make sure to hit .8g of Protein and .4g of Fat per lean body mass. Fill the rest with whatever you want. Don't worry about sugar (it will count as a Carb in your macros). If "negative on Protein" means you are over than don't worry about it. The above are should be minimum…
-
You do not need to give up any of the foods that you like...you just have to make room for them in your daily macro's. First thing you need to know is your TDEE. Subtract 20% from that and you will be all set. Get at least .8 of protein ber LBM, .4 of fat per LBM and then fill the rest with whatever foods you want. You can…
-
^ This! There is no such thing as eating "clean". Just eat within your macros.
-
Eat whatever you want...it doesn't matter just so long as you are hitting your macros. Know your TDEE and your macros and then you can live a happy life full of healthy foods and junky foods whenever you have a craving while still dropping pounds.

The best insect repellent that I have found so far are dryer sheets. Stick a couple in your pockets and you will be AMAZED...seriously.
-
What is a sample exercise routine in a day? Ps. You are still missing the point that what you are posting is IMPOSSIBLE. It's obvious that you are counting TDEE as "exercise" which it is not.
-
You eat 1593 total per day...that's it! The 1593 is already factoring in your workouts. Do not just focus on calories though. Make sure you track EVERYTHING and that your macros are correct.
