Weight loss is about being in a calorie deficit, regardless of what you eat. If you don't want to eat less, then move more to create a deficit. In essence, its about using more energy than you consume. Try not to get down about it, consistency in the long term will prove results, not a couple of bumps in the road along the…

I have one refeed meal once per week, or twice dependant on how I feel, but I don't log it or include in my daily goals. It's usually a high carb meal also.

Morning! Glad its Friday, busy week at work. Cardio: None Strength: Legs Leg Press - 7 plates for 12, 9 plates for 10 and 2 sets of 10 plates for 8 reps. 400kg, the heaviest I've gone, mainly because I was scared. But, it felt good. Had a spot there just in case, but I managed. Leg Curl - Heavy, 4 sets of 6. Coming to a…

Morning, Cardio: None Strength: Arms E-Z Bar Incline Skull Crushers- Warm up set, one plate for 12 reps followed by 4 sets of 8 reps @ 52kg. Heaviest I've ever done. Will try an extra 5kg next week. Single Arm Dumbbell Concentration Curls - 4 sets of 6 @ 45lb. Again, heaviest I've done. Strict form. Full extension (arm…

Awesome dude! Looking to compete next year now, left it too late for this year. Any tips would be great.

Good morning everyone. Cardio: None Strength: Back Deadlifts - 2 plates for 8, 3 plates for 6 and 2 sets of 180kg for 3 reps. Wide Grip Pull-ups - 4 sets of 10, strict form, no swing. Coming to a complete stop at the bottom of the movement, chin over bar. May add weight next week and go for less reps. Wide Grip Pulldowns -…

Haha....touché.

Again, resorting to the same answer. Cutting calories through dieting is not the only option. Creating a deficit by implementing more cardiovascular exercise can help, for instance. Or, getting stronger, having more muscle mass.

Jasmine rice is awesome!

Again, subjective. There is no macro formula for every one.

You mean the trash?

You still said, 'go a little dirty'. Shame on you. Moderators need Moderating.

Absolutely! Totally agree, but you've defined 'dirty' foods above in the thread, so where's your context? Who said chocolate and ice cream is 'dirty', you are defining it, HOW DARE YOU! And, I'm not saying eating 'cleaner' will reduce body fat gains in a surplus. I'm sure even you can distinguish the difference between…

FitnessPal police checking in! Not this again. I'm not defining it dude.

But it has everything to do with nutrition.

Thanks guys, this is a great idea! Great to be a part of it. Would love some feedback. Cardio: None Strength: Chest Flat dumbbell bench. 4 sets of 4,4,3 & 3 reps. Third week on the 110'lbs, managing a lot better with the weight. Think my body has gotten over the shock of the weight. Weighted dips. 2 plates for 4 sets of 6…

You need to give your body a reason to change. The main thing is being consistent. Consistent with your training, consistent with your diet.

Can I join in?? Cardio: None Strength: Legs - Leg press - pyramid up from 6 plates to 9 plates starting @ 12 reps-10-10-10 (could have done more weight considering the reps - never done 10 plates per side before, so need a spotter - none available at the time) Sissy squat on hack squat - 5 sets of 10 @ 40kg (really…

Anaerobic exercise can be cardiovascular.

Are you kidding?!

Yes, dips are excellent, I love them. But yes, it will take time to perform the exercise. Same with pull ups. Eventually they will become easier and you will be adding weight to the movement to make it harder. Just keep going dude!

Enhanced.

Eat higher impact foods.

Yep, above, sound advice. Its a combination of elements. But if your diet is right and your training isn't, then you can't expect to get the results you want, and vice versa. In terms of training, concentrate on getting stronger. With strength comes mass. In short, to gain muscle mass - calorie surplus + progressive…

Yep. Everything in moderation.

I only ever dumbbell bench. Try that.

Long term goals vs short term satisfaction. Just stay consistent. One meal isn't going to make you massive just like skipping a meal isn't going to make you slimmer.

Losing weight is different to losing body fat and gaining muscle mass. You can gain muscle and lose body fat because the composition of your physique will alter. But in terms of losing weight, you may not. You may even put weight on if your wanting to gain muscle mass. Personally, I wouldn't concern yourself too much with…

To be honest, I think pre workouts are a waste of money. Have a coffee maybe?

It's the pump!!
