  • I'm going to take this a s step further. "Machines are great for isolating muscles and reduce the risk of injury" and "Providing they are used correctly" Partially true partially not. Weight machines reduce the risk of pinning youself under a bar, or possibly dropping a dumbell, or any of a slew of other accidents that can…
    in Almost at goal weight- want to start toning & gaining muscle Comment by scimitarslash November 2013
  • As some have already said you have no rest days!! your body needs at least one day where you do next to nothing for recovery, or you end up losing your muscle due to fatigue. A good setup is the old three day a week standby, doesn't neccisarilly need to be monday, wednesday, and friday, but some form of it. Also best…

If you have trouble dropping weight then slow and steady wins the…

    in Having trouble gaining weight? Comment by scimitarslash November 2013
  • Reaching my calories seems nigh impossible. I completely agree with the ice cream idea. The only advice i would give is that while you definitely need to reach your caloric goal, you also have protein, fat, and carb goal individually, each of those in turn result in calories. Fat adds up quickly so while eating high fat…

  • Just joined this site and think its wonderful. Too many people think that diet is just about losing weight. In response to your question or at least the tag on the board.
