If you're a rocker or a throwback to the 80's hair bands, go for 1. If you're between the ages of 16 and 24, probably 2. If you're between the ages of 25 and 35, probably 3. Anything above that, none of the above, unless you're sporting some serious quads, calves and butt then go for 3. My typical wear is 3. Never 4 unless…

It's about to get real up in here. :o

1. Chocolate Chip cookies fresh from the oven 2. Apricot body butter 3. Fresh Baked Sweet Potato Pie 4. Steak on the Grill 5. Flowers in the spring

I could never pull that off. Beard grows in patchy, scratchy as hell and points in all different kinds of directions. It's like taming a black bear while wearing a meat coat made out of salmon parts. Kudos to you sir. I can pull off one hell of a goatee though but it's more work than it's worth and makes me look ten years…

Phone calls are for those you "really" care about and that will have enough courtesy to not keep you on the line too long, texting is for everyone else.

You can add it in weight training as resistance bands are the same as if you used free weights or machines, just not as intense depending on the type of bands used. I wouldn't log it though (I never log my weight training) because the calorie burn is negligible during the exercise. You might set yourself up for failure by…

It would seem like your rate of fat loss would slow, if not stop completely or even gain, if you didn't take in less calories as it will take time to build muscle to increase your resting metabolic rate to compensate.

Too reminiscent of tighty whities. Must be at least mid thigh to qualify as boxer briefs in my book.

Just ignore the bloodstains.

Handcuffs or rope?

Scientifically speaking, women typically have more problems with a FWB situation than men for various reasons: Societal expectations, hormonal reactions to intimacy and the like. However, I see nothing wrong with it at all because not every man is meant for every woman and not every woman is meant for every man so why not…

Well, you can gain lean muscle while in a deficit, especially if you're new to lifting and you have a good reserve of fat to burn off, but then you'll be doing a recomp. You can do cardio, or no cardio, up to you. However, it is less likely you'll see gains if you do cardio because of the extra caloric needs. Good thing is…

Abs are something that you can hit as an accessory to other exercises. You don't necessarily need to directly hit abs, although an ab routine of some kind doesn't hurt. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It may be something that the trainer will have you incorporate after you've dropped some of the weight. Heck, you work…

I've done upright rows for years and never had any problems. Many people have problems with impingement because they're raising their elbows above their shoulders thinking that the extra motion will create more of a squeeze in the delt. Don't do it. I've never heard of flies ever causing a problem in the rotator, maybe…

You really need to get an accurate weighting done. Everything is just going to be a guesstimate without it. At 500 pounds, anything below 3000 cals is going to be a deficit. At 300 lbs, anything below 2500 is going to be a deficit. It depends on how aggressive you want to be in your weight loss. I know most bathroom scales…

Tough question to answer because everyone's body is different and a plan that may work for some may not work well for others. It's kind of trial and error. My recommendation is always to start out slow (no more than 3x a week) and work up from there or change your routine based on your intensity and recovery. A full body…

Are you asking a question or just making a statement?

Our portion sizes today are nothing like the portion sizes our ancestors used to eat, especially here in the states. Most countries outside of the US are amazed at how much food we fit on a plate for each meal. Our ancestors were lucky to get 2 meals a day and spent a vast majority of their time either hunting down…

Ugh, boxers allow too much dingle dangle, when you have a lot of dingle to dangle.

Can we hurry this up, I have to get back to my cell by 5:00.

Do you really need more than 2 inches?

Are you lactating?

Damn, I left my knife at home!

Can I get a hanky for my pee pee?

Put the lotion in the basket!

I don't see the problem of doubling up your lift day or doing two back to back lift days if you're doing a split routine. A full body routine might be a little much. I lift 6 days a week but I'm just used to it.

You're basically creating an illusion by increasing the width of a complimenting area. One other way to work abs is to constantly tense and relax your abs all day long.

You're also pretty petite at 5'2. It may take longer for you to notice significant weight loss because you can only cut out so many calories. You seem to be doing a lot of the right things, just be patient as you will retain water if you're doing intense lifting routines. My advice is to cut out as much additional sodium…

Also, if you aren't already, do a consistent progressive strength training program. Muscle is what burns the most calories, and if you're eating at a deficit, the more muscle you have the more fat you'll burn even at rest. Doing cardio is going to burn calories when you do it but doing moderate intensity strength training…

For females, I always recommend high rep exercises for abs and stay away from weighted exercises unless you want to add a little more volume to your abdominals. If you don't have a lot of ab muscles, do weighted exercises like kneeling cable curls, weighted leg lifts (or hanging leg lifts), dumbell side bends (jacknifes)…
