I am totally offended since when does being good at sports make you dumb??? I am going to say that all blondes are air heads, and red heads are the best in the sack.

It is really hard to tell. Some things you can look at: Scales do not move for 3 weeks or more (not the best indicator) You need more sleep You are lethargic and feel wore down during the day During workout you have no energy you just have to push yourself through them with will power.

Either one as long as they are sporting one of those sweet banana hammocks with the straps that go up to the shoulders.

Those crazy Catholics are at it again.

Light beer is about 100 calroies a piece so you are drinking 4-5 a day. I don't have a problem with drinking. I will be having some rum and coke tonight, but I think 4 beers a day would hurt your progress. Try a little more moderation with the alcohol. Alcohol slows recovery time between workouts.

I looked at this link. I think that was pretty good advice. Women should train like men period. If you are creating a caloric deficit you will not add much muscle, although addin muscle is always a good thing. Here is a link with several workouts you can look out. You can also find video demonstrations of all the…

The most important thing is situational awareness. Knowing what to look for and how to keep yourself out of at risk situations. Make sure this is adressed. MA is really becoming a main stream sport and most places are gearing up to teach for competitions. Self defense and MMA are diffferent beasts with a lot of overlap. I…

[ [/quote] lol, the Clemson that lost to those Old Dominion Monarchs I just mentioned. GO CAA! [/quote] I think it was a 2 point loss. This is a different team now. Clemson was picked to finish in the bottom half of the ACC. We have a new coach with a totally different style of play. Plus we lost 2 players and only had a 9…

LMAO You must think Coach Ratface and Kyle Singler are hot.

The ones located in Pickens, SC. Clemson!!!

Hey what you are talking about is bioelectrical impedance (Spelling?). It measures body fat not BMI. BMI is just a simple calculation based on height, and weight that you can do with a alculator. You are right that it is much better to use body fat than scales.

Heres my 2 cents worth. 1) Get a dog from a rescue or shelter. You may want to check out Cesar Milan's getting a puppy/dog guide. It addresses what energy level to look for regardless of breed. 2) Your dog will adjust to your schedule. Eight hours alone a day is common for most dogs. A nice fenced in area will make those 8…

Need a little more detail to give you an answer. What kind of workouts are you doing? Did you start running and back off on something else? Any changes to your caloric intake? Could be as simple as no BM, or excess water retention. Always weigh yourself at the same time of day and preferably on the same level of stomach…

I would go to McDonalds and get 3 double cheeseburgers. Saves time with the cooking and all. They are about 500 cals a piece. They sure do tase good and go down easy.

Good response you are spot on. Wish more women would realize this.

I was on some meds about 6 years ago and when I took them I felt like if I couldn't lay down I was going to fall down. They totally knocked me out, so I quit taking them. I have been told they have some good new meds now. I should probably ask my doc about it next time I go. The only thing that works for me is to catch one…

If your tank is empty you need to eat something light that is easily digested to supply you with energy for your workout. Working out on an empty stomach creates a catabolic atmosphere in your body. When your body runs out of fuel for your workout it has to start burning muscle for energy. You want to keep all the muscle…

What everyone else said. Also a lot of fat loss diets recommend that 50% of your calories be from protein. Protein is also the hardest to convert to fat, so if you are over on protein and lower on everything else you are doing great. I wish this site would let you set your percentages to what you want. I am currently…

Wow, when I get a migraine I can't function at all. Lights hurt, movement hurts, everything hurts. I feel like I am going to puke etc... Maybe you just have a stress headache. Exercise is good for stress.

Good response.

You should post your workout routine and schedule for a good answer. Generally speaking you will be okay since you are doing diff body parts. Just make sure you allow enough time in between upper bodyworkouts to recover. Doubling up can throw your schedule off though. If you planned on doing upper body tomorrow now it will…

Wow you totally misunderstood everything I said. You have it halfway right. FYI Bodybuilders typically stay between 6-12 reps. Powerlifters 5 and less. You also talk about breaking the bonds between muscle fibers never heard that before. What you are doing is creating microscopic tears in the muscle fibers themselves.

You said your trainer said this " was talking to a personal trainer a few days ago who said that many reps with lighter weights or fewer reps with heavier weights works your body the same - it's all about you being able to feel that muscle fatigue when you're finished." It definetely doesn't work your muscles the same. If…

Check you messages.

You can not tone one part of the body. You have to lose weight all over. You can do arm exercises all day long and they will only get bigger bc it will be muscle + fat. I am only chiming in bc I think some of the responses you received were not accurate. Go online and look for a good at home workout routine, add in some…

Kettle balls routines make for good full body workouts using compound movements. Just let it be known this is no new fad. Kettele balls were around in the 1800's.

Hey man I just joined here because to track my calories but being bored at work I have found myself browsing the forums. P90X is pretty tough but it is actually a pretty good program. I was skeptical at first until I gave it a try. I didn't complete it bc it didnt fit my goals. Also just bc there are women on the…

First thing go and find a new trainer this guy doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. Most trainers don't. Reps ranges 1-3 Power 5-8 Size 12+ Muscular Endurance. Most people would benefit by staying in the 5-8 range for most all exercises. The more weight you can lift the better. Your goal should be too add weight…
