For the general 30 year old public...i'd say 9 minutes is okay. 8 minutes means you've done some training and are in better than average shape 7 minutes and you're in decent shape 6 minutes and you're in great shape 5 minutes...shut up, nobody wants to hear about your awesomeness. I've done absolutely no research...

when i ran track in middle school the coach said for shin splints you should do shin strengthening exercises like toe lifts. Kind of like reverse calf raises. He said when the shin muscle is unproportionally weak compared to the calf that pain can come from it. I havent had them since then though.

I personally hated being fat because I got out of breath easily, I felt self conscious about my blub, clothes fit annoyingly, sports became more difficult, bedroom activities were also more difficult, stairs were hard, anything requiring physical activity had to be avoided, pictures of myself were not fun to look at, and…

You can always find something heavy...does your car have a spare tire? That's probably 20-80lbs (depending on car) Hang a few gallon jugs of water from your barbells. You can do the weighted crunches on the floor. Can you hold both barbells? That would be a good starting weight. Ever done leg lift hip thrusts? I think they…

Lol yeah i wasn't saying i was concerned about it...but I find it interesting how many pounds are lost through just breathing overnight. Its just water weight though...that goes up and down like the tides.

True... Still believe that your body composition is 100% due to your diet but you're right, your lean mass depends on diet and exercise. I'll confuse myself with goofy math here to figure out what percentage is what when it comes to lean body mass. I spend 1hr in the gym so that goes to exercise. I spend about 12hrs…

I weigh in the mornings...then i'll weigh again at work....then i'll weigh again before bed. I like to have an average cuz if you weigh once a week you might be skewed after having a glass of water or not pooping for a few days. I also like to weigh before bed cuz its funny to see how much weight i lose overnight from…

I do low sodium too...its kind of second nature now though cuz i've been donig it for years. Yes almost everything has stupid amounts of salt in it but you can find lower sodium versions and no salt added versions. Like my cottage cheese...no salt added...kind of bland but i like it that way. When we make spaghetti sauce,…

I did P28x...when I was at my heaviest. yeah i only made it 28 days and then I went to the gym and started lifting...haha. P90x is a great full body workout, especially if you give it hell when you do it. I slung sweat 360 degrees around the room I did it in. Keep it up! The more you do it the easier it gets...then it gets…

the more you work out the more calories you burn....given the same intensity for every minute of every workout. Its that simple. If you split it into the morning and night...thats great...or if you do it all at once...thats great too. Lifting wise...i like to get all my muscle demolition done on a particular muscle in one…

Treat your abs like the other muscles you want to build...lift heavy. Doing 100000 situps wont get your abs sore if they are conditioned well. Go switch things up. Get on the decline bench and do slow crunches with a 100lb dumbbell in your hands. That'll give you ripples. Do weighted planks with your toes up on a small…

I agree with jimmmmmer I get rid of the mental demotivation with a preworkout sometimes... Like when I come home from work and say "there's no way in hell i'm going to the gym today..." Then i take the Pre and a few minutes later..."Well, can't waste the pre-workout...that shiz is expensive" Then i go have a super awesome…

Body fat percentage = 100% Diet Lean mass quantity = 100% Exercise /thread

Your body fat % is 100% diet The amount of muscle you have is 100% exercise You can't have a low body fat percentage without eating at a deficit. I think to be healthy you should split your macros up somewhat evenly so that you don't leave out fats, proteins, or carbs. You can't gain or have muscle without some sort of…

MOAR: 1. Why are u drinking that ( protein shakes) - it's bad for u I didn't feel like carrying a steak around in my bottle today. 2. U r eating too much ( I bring my food to work and eat 2-3 times, considering them go on hungry all day and binge at the dinner) Are you counting my calories? I am, I know exactly what I'm…

1. Why are u drinking that ( protein shakes) - it's bad for u Cuz beast mode requires gratuitous amounts of fuel and pure protein is the highest octane I can get...what...you don't like fuel? 2. U r eating too much ( I bring my food to work and eat 2-3 times, considering them go on hungry all day and binge at the dinner)…

I started playing when I was a freshman in high school...ended up making the team and got to 1st seed by junior year. Best I ever did was beat the number 26 guy in the state (of NC) but I lost to the #53 guy so I was good but not that good. Now I never get to play anymore but when I do...I'm still decent. Now that i've…

Sounds legit...i'd try it. Maybe even fry it in one of the oils mentioned above!

Mine said I'd weigh 100.4lbs in 5 weeks when I closed my diary last night. I weigh 200lbs right now...then again I did log that I burned 10,000 calories yesterday during my workout...

I pretty much agree. Your body gets hydrated from all kinds of sources, fruits/veggies, teas, coffee, beer...the problem is when the stuff in the water counteracts the hydration. Like alcohol, caffeine, salt...etc. So it would be hard to quantify how much water you get from a cup of coffee considering how much caffeine is…

You are correct...I will edit my post...haha

Like said above, you need to take time off to let your muscles heal between lifting sessions. Cardio like running, jumping jacks, elliptical etc. can be done on consecutive days if you feel up to it but make sure you mix it up cuz your body will get used to certain cardio exercises the same way it'll get used to doing the…

Sorry just read you don't want to add the oils...how about an italian dressing with vinaigrette and olive oil? Spaghetti sauces with olive oil? There are yummy ways to add oil.
-
Unsaturated: Olive oil, grapeseed oil, fish oil, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews Saturated: Butter, coconut oil, higher fat beefs, creams as mentioned above, BACON...there's protein in bacon though...

I just about ran into a huge dude at my gym...then I realized in the mirror at I'm the same size as him...for the first time I was actually proud of my build!

The un-zombied zombies got bit by uncured zombies and became zombies once again! Aliens freaked and flew away in their spaceship with godzilla leaving the gluttonous beast and the ladybug princess debating on how many sandwiches it would take to build a wall to keep the zombies away...
