I workout after work. About 1.5-2 hours before my workout I eat 2 protein bars and a yogurt. About 50g protein and 50g carbs total.

Please eat more. Even if you are like under 100 lbs, your BMR is probably somewhere around 1200-1300 calories a day, which is your calorie usage by your body AT REST.

12 or 16 oz. bicep lifts during the super bowl most likely

Yea thats excessive time for weight training. Personally do 4 lifts a week and they are probably 40 mins each at most, lifting heavy with 3 exercises a day (1 main lift, 2 assistance). With a cardio warm up and ab workout finisher, I'm outta the gym in about an hour.

This! But I'm sure its very possible to make friends at the gym. Just try to get a read on people you attempt to befriend, because some people like to get to the gym, get their workout in, and leave, with little time for socializing. I'm always willing to chat between sets, of course :D

I love Big Macs. I'll have to try this soon!

+3 You won't regret it. Literally I think no one has ever said "I regret strength training".

Reading through the thread, I just had to comment on this... WHAT!? Five Guys has, hands down, the best fries out there. Had Smashburger for the first time recently, and they are awful. I'm so confused.

Sorry if this has been asked, did not read the whole thread. I've read some conflicting things about SLDLs. Should the bar be further off the body than in a RDL/DL or should you keep contact with your legs? Slight bend in the knees rather than perfectly stiff? I use it as an assistance exercise to target my hamstrings and…

Just 0.85 miles today, legs are still too sore from squat day after holiday break.. big run tomorrow!

Just 0.8 mile warm up to my lift today, long run tomorrow.

I'm in for 60. Getting ready for a 10k but also want to keep lifting 4 days a week!

I believe it is Hibiscus Tea that has shown to be effective at helping lower blood pressure. I started drinking it for awhile and it did have a minor effect, but I found diet and exercise/weight loss to be much more effective.

Protein is the key to your goals. Shoot for 0.8g per lb body weight. Start lifting heavy weights. Hit your protein goal, be reasonable about fat, and don't go overboard on calorie deficits - slow and steady will yield better results if you want to be lean.

Omelettes are my favorite. They really do not take very long to make either, and if you want to be really healthy you can just use egg whites. Keep a stock of diced veggies and throw em in there with a little cheese, heavenly.

Registered for my first 1/2 in late 2014. I hope to get to a full in the next 3 years!

Aww hell yes!

bump, no one out there doing IF/Wendler/New to running? :D

Good luck everyone trying this. I did a modified version (I was starting out already regularly doing 120+ second planks) and got up to 5 minutes in about 15 days. A lot of it is mental!

Anyone is free to add me if they like! Positive vibes only!

Gamer here! Currently I pretty much exclusively play Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm and Diablo 3. Before I got into PC gaming at all I was mostly into old school RPGs, like SNES and some playstation era: Final Fantasy 2/3, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire Series, Suikoden Series, Final Fantasy Tactics (omg best game of all…

+1 to Starting Strength. Its truly the best source of information for beginning lifters and will get you on the right path towards great strength gains. The biggest thing to focus on is form! Get your form right, then slowly add the weight.

My running playlist is full of dubstep. High tempo and gets me pumped up. I prefer to lift to hard rock like Avenged Sevenfold.

Define easy. Are you looking for convenience? If so, take up running - don't need a gym for that. I don't know what your weight is, but 1200 calories or less a day is just not enough. Eat more, but exercise more. Also you cannot target your stomach if you actually want to lose weight, which you stated you do not want to…
