ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT :)

Lol

Good for you. I'm not explaining myself to you. Bye bye

It's complicated to explain really and you're bound to get a variety of opinions but Stronglifts 5 x 5 is just that ...no cardio. It's a very simple time efficient programme and it is very effective. Most people can't understand the 'no cardio' but you're working your heart anaerobically similar to HIIT, if you watch your…

If you're doing 5x5 training that's all you do for 12 weeks, it is a strength programme. You choose your starting weights by your level of capability...the idea is to get stronger over the weeks. You will compromise your strength gains with cardio on that particular programme. Most people give up half way. Try and complete…

You should eat something before the gym definitely ....some people do not tolerate fasting prior to working out, we are all different. Food is always a better choice than protein shakes and energy bars. I have been a PT for over 11 years but would suggest that if this has happened more than a couple of times you should go…

Hello, I can completely identify with you. I'm a PT and train quite heavily including lots of cardio, also done long distance running in the past. Teach spinning blah blah. However I AM addicted to simple sugars, the not so good ones. I've gained weight from bingeing in the the last year despite all the exercise. I know a…

Good to vent about Ed ... I'm in recovery too. But for me it's been a long road. I think it's so important to keep the calories realistic, up rather than down. I too hate the scales when it goes up as it can cause complete havoc. I weigh once a week and that's it for ongoing recovery. My heart aches for those suffering as…

Best to invest in a quality heart rate monitor.. I think polar is the most accurate. Most machines overestimate calories burned. ????

Excellent !!!!!!

Wow... You look amazing.. You're an inspiration... So great. Well done ????

Providing you have a programme which includes all body , you should start to see results in as little as 3/4 months, but your eating will have to be very clean and your training very disciplined. In terms of seeing visual difference, it takes a lot of time and determination. However the physiological effects can be seen…

How are you getting on with your bingeing? I'm trying to get out of that habit as well, I think the responses are right , upping cals but I'm the same, always trying to catch up after bingeing. Craving etc. I do high volumes of training but under eat and then binge. If you have tried the suggestions maybe you could let me…
