The more you workout, the less sore you'll eventually be after working out.

I used them exclusively for a while. Now I use http://www.truenutrition.com for protein and other simple stuff. Let's you mix custom mixes and flavors. Good price too; shipping is a bit slow on standard but eh, not that big an issue.

If you're cutting calories for fat loss, proteins and fats should be your main priority macros due to muscle preservation and hormone control. Yes, carbs are more muscle sparing than proteins are, but that's a little irrelevant for the average person. So all the people questioning the 'low' carbs she's on haven't even…

Any proper weight training program will be just fine for men AND women. As far as frequency is concerned, for natural lifters (no pro-hormones, sterons or other enhancement compounds) it's most efficient to lift a body part roughly once every 72 hours or so, this translates into a 2x/Week lifting routine for each body…

Any routine or program is better than nothing, if done safely and to the appropriate level. With proper dieting practices (lifestyle changes), any and all exercise will lead to fat loss and improved muscle composition - to at least a small degree. Point being: be smart, eat smart, stay consistent and it will be the best…

I wasn't ripping anything apart, nor being negative, I was simply stating a counter to your post. I said nothing negative about you, your post or your training/diet. You on the other hand, stated that I am not knowledgeable, don't train hard and am being negative. The immediate post workout 'window' is an outdated view,…

My advice would be to stop cheating your diet, because you're obviously not only eating 800 calories.

No food is 'bad' for you. If you want a banana, and it fits within your goals, then eat one. Meal timing is largely irrelevant, so don't worry about pre, post workout consumption or prior to bed. My suggestion is read up on nutrition, as this website likes to promote pseudoscience and buzzwords that really have no…

The body doesn't differentiate between a twinkie and a potato. Eating 'clean' is not necessary for the majority of people, only those seeking to maximize athletic potential and get into serious contest preparation need to worry about this, and even then there are exceptions. If I ate Taco Bell all day and remained within…

Don't apologize for your hard work. To original poster: People's insecurities are their own and everyone has their own problems. How dare you belittle the problems in his life because of your own insecurities.

In done right, yes. If it's a refeed day, on an appropriate interval and you track what you eat and keep balanced macros (IE, lowered protein, higher carbs, lower fat (but not to an unhealthy degree)). If you just eat cake, ice cream and pizza and consider it, "Lol just one day!!! #Cheat" then you will be undoing a decent…

I understand it very well. I still would not advocate it save for the morbidly obese. There are much more effective and practical means of weight loss, with less chance of rebound and failure.

Inverted rows or negatives work well. And of course as you lose weight (and hopefully gain strength) it will become easier and easier. Be wary though...once you do your first pull up, you'll want to do more and more and more and more with more weight. They're addicting.

If you are doing a barbell routine, the bar. Global answer: "The weight you should use is the weight you can preform the desired amount of reps with, with good form, over the desired amount of sets while still remaining a challenge." I like to give myself a rep range (ie; 8-12, 10-15, 15-20) and weekly either increase my…

Best pre-workout is the old Jack3d with DMAA in it. Second best is straight caffeine. B-Alanine is a worthless ingredient unless you load it at high levels over a long period of time, and even then, has a fairly short half life in your system. NO Xplode will probably give you headaches or make you **** your pants. Same…

1) Don't do a diet that throws you into Ketosis. Don't know why people still recommend this diet. 2) Drop out all bread/pastas/grains. Not because of paleo and all that, but because you will drastically cut your carb consumption down. IMO, stick to starches. White rice, potatoes, yams, squashes, etc. Tons of carbs, tons of…

Bumping this post for actual knowledge. Set a calorie goal, fill in the rest.

Don't think it's necessarily an end-all-be-all diet for fat loss. Granted, some of the principles are good, but moderation and self control with carbs combined with a good workout program is just as effective. Just eat sensibly.

1) Set calorie limit 2) Find adequate protein levels (1.2-1.5g/lb bodyweight) 3) Find adequate fat levels (your levels will be higher than a man's, so try 20-25% of calorie limit) 4) Fill rest in with carbs 5) ??? 6) Look sexy, profit

When bulking, follow the following (general) guidelines: Protein: 1-1.2g/lb Bodyweight Fat: .3-.4g/lb Bodweight Carbs: 2-3g/lb Bodyweight EX: 175lbs Male Protein: 175-210g Fat: 52-70 (go with AVG of these two) Carbs: 350-525 (AVG of two again is good). Calories: 3040 Realistically, 3000 for 2 weeks. If I like the gains,…

400+ Carbs, 205+ Protein

don't eat them. try berries?

I'm trying to help people achieve their goals with as little pain as possible. Forgive me for sharing, enjoy.

Missing my point man.

I'm saying instead of throwing progress to the wind by having a "no count" day, or a "cheat day" where you eat what you want "in moderation," just incorporate the calories and such of said meal into your average day. If you have 1/4 cup of Ben and Jerrys for example, and you FIT THAT INTO your daily calories and…

Short of starving yourself, I can't see what you would have been doing to make this so unbearable, that after but 5 days you've given up.

You all are making it way too complicated. I pick a calorie goal. I eat said goal.

How much do you weigh? What's your avg. daily protein intake? Carb Intake? Fat Intake?
