Not the usual demographic to post here, but I'm a bodybuilder who's been shedding the fat layer covering the muscles. Shirtless in the mirror or while actively working out, I look like a lifter. But when wearing the same shirts I used to fill out but now hang looser on me, I sometimes question even myself if I see a…

You're the best around! Nothing's gonna ever keep you down! - You're The Best (Joe Esposito)

Ann's math is correct. Now it's a question of diligent logging and tracking.

Sounds like you are not taking into account hydration levels, which can easily account for the 2lb difference you noted.

Last night was crock pot chicken alfredo (which my family prefers over restaurant versions), and tonight is pork parmigiana with buttered potatoes.

Not all drinks are the same calorie-wise: Shot of whiskey: 100 Long Island iced tea: 500+ Depending on what's being drunk, and how many/large, the calories in alcohol alone can easily add fat fast. There's a reason it's called a "beer gut".

For the love of all things holy, do NOT list your own book within the pages of your own book! Have you learned nothing from the CERN Institute in Geneva? The one where the world was worried about them creating a black hole which would swallow the world? That possibility was not because of smashing atoms together at near…

I can't think of anything I would eat continuously all day long, don't you get bored of the same flavor not changing?

Perhaps you could post the wrong answer in the "Wrong Answers Only" thread, and the right answer in the "Answers Only" thread you created…sound like a workable compromise?

Have you ever participated in the "Wrong Answers Only" thread, where somebody poses an innocent question and you must provide a completely outlandish and ridiculously wrong answer?

Not really, though my wife loves them. TNP has fake flowers in various places to provide maintenance-free color

Is that saying to eat cottage cheese for 15 minutes straight, then later eat chicken thighs for 15 minutes straight? No counting calories, eat until full, and lose 2lbs a day?

Does an octopus really need 8 arms? Imagine how many amputees could have their lives returned to normal after a transplant from nature's natural spare-part expert!

All birds CAN talk, but the only ones we humans hear are the supervisor birds chewing out their employees. Sometimes, when you hear a bunch of birds all talking at once, it's a competition between the supervisors to determine who is the REAL boss, and until this gets decided then no actual work gets done. Good thing…

My legs exploded in size when I started doing sets of 20 all the time with them. And it helped bust through a new 1RM along the way. For my biceps, slow negatives for the win, brother! Now, how in blazes do I get my chest to match yours??? lol

Not yet 50 myself, so not in your desired demographic, maybe one of them will post there actual experience. But some words of advice for somebody starting lifting, especially at your age: Safety first! Learn proper technique for every lift to minimize chances of injury. A couple sessions with a personal trainer will go a…

Oh wow, I un-bookmarked that thread a while ago due to inactivity, how awesome is it that it's back going again?!?
