Machines are a great way to introduce your muscles to the motion of weight lifting. As i expressed in other posts. Consider machine weights as "training wheels" helping to build the foundation of weight lifting in general. Nothing bad can come of using weight machines. Its not a race, get comfortable with how your muscles…

I think i would be scary as a cartoon, would be cool though

Interesting read, take out of it what you will. Personally for me all calories are the same based on what i eat. One dogma that has contributed to the ever-worsening health of the Western world is the belief that “a calorie is a calorie.” This simply isn’t true. The idea that obesity is the end result of eating too much…

I think for some people its like taking the finish line out of a race. They meet their goal, the race is over. Take away the finish line and you will eventually get tired and stop. Goals keep us in check with ourselves. The most important thing i believe in weight loss for life is to always have a goal slightly out of…

I am an X Personal Trainer , just saying :)

No, lowering BF% is what gives you definition, has nothing to do with eating clean. Personally i feel better eating clean but thats just me.

My god those abs are so amazing, sorry i was like a deer caught in headlights.

This, even I get sucked into the feeling that, if i am not sore, i didn't work my muscles hard enough. They don't need to be sore to be worked well. Although it does always increase my intensity with that muscle to work even harder.

Bubble Butts only

Honestly i dont even notice. When i enter the gym I have ME as the only thing on my mind. The job i am there to do. To be honest the only thing that catches my eye is the steroid boys that show up, those guys piss me off with how easy they can gain muscle compared to natural builders like myself.

We sweat to regulate our body temperature, i figure your body is trying to sweat you off of that treadmill. Seriously on 2hrs, no wonder your body is overheating.

I totally agree, people come here looking for help, would expect help. Everyone is new sometime in their life at something. The last thing i would want to think is this forum being avoided because lack of friendly/helpful people. When i offer advice or provide information it is either based on personal experience or…

HGH, Human Growth Hormone, Can have serious side effects/results. It actually increases muscle mass gains by a lot but just like steroids, it comes at a price. Some people turn to a substance called human growth hormone (HGH) in hopes that it will keep them feeling and looking youthful. But experts say that hope is…

Extreme example that loose skin, still showing muscles and definition.

Those pills come at a high price on the body. What they are meant for is only temp. weightloss. The worst part is, once she starts taking them, chances are 10 to 1 that when she comes off of them, she will gain the weight back plus more.

It will not making flexibility any more difficult. Sounds to me like you need to work on your core strength. The good news is, Front squats will strengthen your core, while making it easier to squat in general. Impacts the back and hips less. The only other thing i can strongly suggest is doing abs. Weighted leg raises,…

Agreed 260 is very high As far as protein sources Tuna=28-32grams a can Chicken Breasts usually 300 grams (1 breast) 60grams

Cancer is keeping a lot of big companies in business, you know how many people would financially suffer as a result of a cure. Pretty sad, allowing people to suffer so you can make money like Big Pharma.

Soon we will be seeing you in a 2pc:heart:

We are still on planet earth right? I feel like i have just visited an alien world thread. I am sooo sheltered.

So what does this taste like?

I really enjoyed the story and physics in Metro 2033

Pass, i have too many flexs pics as is:bigsmile:

I wouldn't avoid machines, but i would make it a goal to leave them once you feel you have reached the level you feel you can do without. I considered machine weights more like training wheels to get you going in the right direction with as limited risk to injury as possible.

Have you considered doing dips for your chest, major mass builder and requires no spotter. Dumbbell flys, Dumbbell presses, incline decline, you really dont need to bench to build any mass what so ever. I do no flat bench work and i am making excellent progress.

Yep, thats what i have been doing now for the past 8 weeks 2lbs muscle up, 1-1.5% BF down

Squats can be like plastic surgery for your BUTT.

what flavour did you get, I have to admit cookies N cream is my fav and i am not one for sweets.

I would also imagine that age probably factors somewhere in the figures. Honestly there are so many variables to consider its like trying to figure out why someone has a cold. Hell temperature, metabolism, heart rate, chemicals released from the brain, you name it anything can be factored into results. We only come to the…
