It's time...

Avoid Protein Bars altogether. Price per serving sucks and you can get much higher quality from other sources...or even make your own bars. Honestly...just carry around shaker cup with high quality whey protein and just add water at snack time or your pre-workout meal. Need carbs? Then grind up some oats with that protein…

How is this goal coming along Jo? Video or it didn't happen...
-
Another non scale victory...just noticed that my traps now have traps. Weighing in around 203 lbs. :D Anyone else still bulking? Thinking of starting a cut around March or April.
-
Yeah I think I'm just going to keep slamming 50 grams of Gaspari Glycofuse with my whey shake and continue chasing that with 1 cup of sticky white rice with 1 tbl spoon of honey after my weight training workouts. 100+ grams of carbs post workout...works for me.
-
That weight goal is possible in two months...but will not all be lean mass. Why are you trying to get to that weight in 2 months?
-
So you are 165 lbs now. What EXACTLY are your goals? If you are doing any exercise at all during the week you should be at least 2000 cal per day just to maintain your weight of 165 lbs. If muscle gain is a goal I'd probably pop off with a 2200 cal diet at least with more carbs peri wokrout and just live my life bro...eat…

Yep.
-
Eating any new foods when you went to surplus calories? I hear the term reverse dieting and I'm thinking post contest diets where you slowly add back in calories....what do you mean by reverse dieting?
-
I used to just grind up a cup of oatmeal and add banana and peanut butter, and milk with the chocolate protein. Also if post workout maybe consider dextrose as a carb powder..maybe limite to 25 grams and fill rest of carbs with oatmeal....or if you have a budget for supplements I am getting good results with the carb…
-
My advice...Eat frequent balanced MEALS that hit your goals...and stop snacking. If you are having cravings it may be because the meal before was out of balance...you stomach became full but your brain was not satisfied. Also...remove the word BINGE eating from your vocabulary...and add the word "cheat meal" to your…

Eggs, Ground Turkey with Veggies, Fish and Veggies, Chicken and Veggies, Steak and Veggies. Stop drinking calories (milk, fruit juice, sweet tea...anything with sugar). Taper back serving portions...like drop to 1/3 cup of oatmeal instead of 1/2 cup...drop to 1/3 cup of rice instead of 1/2 cup...etc.

No sir. Just worked out 1 hour per day 6 days a week with a solid diet. I lost 1 lb per week...over 6 months, which led to my 35 lb weight loss. I find that most people do not give themselves enough time to see the results. The changes happen slow...but over time...well...that's when the magic happens...if you are…
-
Not all and this is easy....if you eat many meals per day...I eat 6 for example. Carbs: Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Oatmeal, Carb Powders Proteins: Turkey, Talapia, Salmon, Chicken, Lean Steak, Whey Protein Veggies: No limit here Fats: MCT Oil, Peanut Butter, Walnuts, Almonds Liquids: Just water

Ok...I'll play along. :D

We do not care about your butt...we care about the butts of women...in particular the wifey. I got her on board with a GLUTE DAY after she read this article as she tends to grow thighs and calves quick from traditional exercises. Super excited about results in first few weeks...going to be a great year in my house...Yoga…
-
I take IsoPure (when strict dieting), Gold Standard Natural Whey most of the time, and recently Carnivore. Not a huge fan of the taste of Carnivore but I like it as part of my post workout meal.
-
I got my start with P90x... But...if mass gain is your goal...and you want to do it from home, then may want to consider Body Beast...great beginner weight training program and I transitioned well from P90x to and completed for 3 rounds. Now I have moved to a more traditional body building regimen...progression is key.…
-
Go to a 5 day WEIGHT TRAINING split. 3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off. Nix Cardio only days unless it is a steady state session on an off day. Add short HIIT Session Post workout if you are concerned about fat levels...or maybe 15 min incline walk session post workout. Eat 250-350 above maintenance accounting for additional…

I miss the days of snacks...just eat meals now. :\

Not sure if I care to see this one...but happy birthday none the less! Just set that Cake PR after a birthday leg workout...and give those carbs some place to go. ;) And for those looking to set Taco PR's...here's something to aim for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75cZuxAsXYk So sorry to confuse everyone...I thought I…

Pushing hard tonight. New PR. 245 lbs for 6 reps at an incline. Currently weighing in at 203 lbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsHRUhxXyZU

If Hypertrophy is your goal...consider Rep ranges of 10-12, High Progressively increasing volume over the coming weeks, short rest periods between sets (like 45 seconds or less). Maybe consider a one song playlist...that one song...everyone has that one song...put it on loop...talk to no one...only think about exactly what…

Not so simple as people have different body mechanics. Read this: http://www.t-nation.com/training/flat-butt-fix "Heavy leg training doesn't automatically lead to better glutes. For many women, everyone's beloved compound movements (squats, deadlifts, lunges) only increase the size of their legs by training their quads,…

Going to have to disagree here...

I started with a utility bench and grey hex dumbells on a rack at 16 years old...and never looked back. Keep pushing the weight! Spotter rods in power racks also make great spots for heavy incline bench press! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbGADRfVIu4 Don't forget a dip bar for the power rack (you can also place to…

You are taking about what programs you want to do...but you have said nothing about your goals...may may help with order. Why choose something super hard if you are not likely to be consistent at it to see the result that you want. You could make the case for T25 first over Insanity for example.
-
I do both...my workouts at home are always more effective though...no wait times...crank the music on my sound system. I buy and am willing to pay for quality equipment I keep in good shape. I have never seen a dip bar I like in a gym for example. No jacked up broken dumbbells to worry about. No drive times...so more time…
-
That is what I was thinking...but it seems to be the standard I see around clubs. I have club quality equipment and don't mind investing if it is worth it.

White Rice...post work out...with honey...for the win.
