Lately I regularly drink half an liter of buttermilk mixed with cocoa after my workouts...besides it's so damn delicious :smile: I really feel my energy depots restored very quickly. For years I was a big fan of eating 500g of lowfat quark or natural joghurt with fruits and oat flakes, nuts and raisins. It always made me…

your girlfriend reminds you that you study mechanical engineering and not sports ^^

Totally cute :D Where will you take the 21 remaining lbs from? I don't see anything there...

Brad Pitt - Fight Club Edward Norton - American History X Hugh Jackman - Wolverine, Australia And the overall gentleman appearance of an George Clooney, when I got grey hair :smile:

HAH! Got another one :) I can do literally everything, when I am sleeping! I once got up on sunday morning – I overslept a little bit. But I wondered even more why I was coming completely dressed outof my bed (jeans, shirt, underwear, matching pair of socks, jacket and SHOES) and had put gel in my hair. I stumbled to the…

Maybe try changing the battery of the watch :smile: I wouldn't do this on my own...unsless you have some experience in that. Because the watch maybe should stay waterproof :smile:

If you only got that one for about an year, I woul return it for RMA-reasons. I don't know how they handle it down-under, but here in Europe the manufacturer has to offer you a 2-year warranty :smile: btw: when exactly is mothers day again? Don't want to miss on that one :wink:

Do you wet the contacts on the cheststrap? Usually after the first few minutes of exercising this gets obsolete because the skin starts to sweat a little bit under the strap. And do you wear it at the correct position? On the first abs right under the breasts? I don't know the Polar F7's function in detail, but does it…

Love that one, too :smile: I could write that on my flag aswell :wink:

I just don't feel good in my skin. I'm insecure or self-conscious and that is holding me back in all-day situations. I feel as if I have already missed on so many things in life that I really want to stop it. Example? As a child I loved to go swimming in the summer, nowadays I avoid the beaches or taking off my cloths at…

Outof curiosity: Are there any results of researches published on that topic?

I like "Mason Twsits" as they are a dynamic exercise and include your overall upper body. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyU9B75C9Ws It's quite unclear in that video...but you should raise your legs so that your feet don't touch the ground :smile:

I survived cancer...when I was 7.

I had a look at the product page of polar... the bronze one (only the watch) weighs 29g and the silver one 33g. That's why I assume that the wristband of the silver one might be a little bit longer. I don't think that there are less holes in it. If that doesn't bother you that the free part of the wristband might be longer…

Tried that one before, but it didn't work out at all :ohwell: I think I did something wrong...I used gelling powder in such sachets (as common for backing ingredients) and mixed them up with a little water to solve it and cooked it together with the fruits. Everything as it was described on the sachet. The result wasn't…

You could e.g. start doing the 100pushups program (http://www.hundredpushups.com/) It is a 6week (or more) program encouraging you to do 100 pushups in the end. But I think that's not the highest benefit... The advantage is that you have a trainings plan to stick to. To train your overall upper body including the chest you…

Actually...5'6" isn't that small...and 165lbs is not that fat o0 I'm wondering how did you manage to get man boobs? And you goalr weight of 127lbs might eben be a little bit...underweight maybe. I think you should start working out a little bit...if you drop weight the tissue will start to hang...tighten it with working…

Never said that...:grumble: I was talking about "avoiding to pull all-nighters" ...
-
As I am a university student I don't have ANY daily rhytm or regular sleep cycle. Sometimes I go to bed at 5a.m. sometimes I get up that early :smile: ...or even pull all-nighters. Avoid the last one and try to get your needed sleep every day...put it together with healthy nutrition and you'll be fine :smile: No matter…

No, that's wrong. That might even be more inaccurate than the polar HRM. Polar is the only one company, specialized on building HRMs and that since I can think... Most of the HRMs just take a standard-formula (most of them for light jogging) and estimate the burned calories by calculation. The formula (there are different…

Nice :) But don't overdo it...3x/week spinning is strong stuff for a beginner.

The biggest win is that you've done it for two months straight! :smile: It leads to a healthier life in the long term... :wink:
-
well, great...now I'm hungry :tongue: Sounds super-delicious although it doesn't say anything specific ^^ Anyways! I'm just proud of you :smile: What does your personal trainer friend say to your progress? Please be careful with that deceeding the net-calorie goal...as long as it works it may be fine, but then all of a…

You shouldn't worry about the others! :smile: Most of the guys that attend the gym regularly just want to train without ruffle. They mind there own business and don't even talk to one another. Step outof you comfort zone :smile: Or just wear headphones to signalise other that you really don't want to chat :wink:

It's funny...even though I am from Germany I only had a look at the english wikipedia for BCAA :laugh: The following three links redirect you to the three mostly used BCAA in supplements. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucin http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valin http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoleucin They all provide a table…

- unpickable bike-lock - bike lights - water-bottle - towel - weight-lifting gloves - sports clothes (shorts, shirts, shoes) If I am going to do cardio exercises: - smartphone + headphones - HRM - self created flashcards to skip through (yep, studying while exercising is a great thing!) that's it...

As I am cycling very often, I usually like a playlist mixed or structured by the songs beats per minute (bpm). Starting "slowly" with around 80 bpm...that could be nearly everything from pop to slo r'n'b. I tend to use stroke my pedals to the beat...so as this is a massive tool to adjust your own power :smile: I like…

TRUE! Look out for some real chest and upper body workouts to keep them from succumb the rules of physics...damn you gravity *grmlbfx!§#

I think I'll just try to accomplish as much as possible, but without forcing me to anything. I'll just work through the P90x plan when there is spare time or if I am able to fit it into my gym-schedule. :smile:
