From what I can tell, at 5'6 and frequent exercise, 1500 kcal might be on the verge of too low? Check with teh online calculators - nowadays most TDEE and BMR calculators are fairly accurate - and obviously like what everyone said. - Depending on how advanced your BF is into bodybuilding, he should know the diets fairly…

sorry if it is already mentioned - too lazy to read all 6 pages so read page 1; but regarding steroid use being a taboo subject for BB - it is this way since it is the equivalent of saying a broker is giving out company information to special clients - they are simply shooting themselves in the foot; in the bodybuilding…

Cheers for the reply, yeah probably try and get it checked just in case.

Ent?

Cheers for the input... Went to the gym earlier, couldn't lift jack all... It is definitely exertion headache's... Pushed half of the weigjts I usually do and my head had the throbbing sensation again. I've searched online and people in the lifting community all seems to suggest a lot to do with pinching of neck nerve or…

.

I do not think my water consumption was the cause since I have been on creatine and diuretics on and off for over 4 months with no substantial headaches from the gym - I would probably average around 2.5 to 3 litres of water a day... - I am not an amateur in the sport so I would think I have my diet and drinking…

I am a fairly clean eater.

Not required really, just get another pair of convos... The adipowers only really matter if you have mobility issues say squat depth etc. or are going into competing for powerlifting shows.

Well tell me if any specific nutrients aid the pain :D

The thing is I do do (lol) squats and deadlifts and have not hit ab specific exercises for around 3 months so would like to jump back on the bandwagon at the end of a training session for more volume on the core.

bloomen heck! 220kg - that is impressive man!

Im fairly sure its not a stitch as I know that kind of pain is different from these ones - it definitely feels like a cramp to me as the pain sensation (not nice!) is similar to calf cramps. Tried planking, don't really enjoy them at all as I do not feel my core nearly as much as the traditional sit ups.

sorry for late reply - but essentially it would happen spontaneously after a set - it is hard to describe - so say you were on an ab machine and finished your set, I would usually sit back up and stay in a sitting position - during this position it feels as though my core is still contracted - similar to tensing your calf…

So you saying that if I go on a deficit eating purely carbs with no inclusion of fats or proteins with a good training routine, I will end up jacked with muscle definition... i think not. :|

When people are aiming to lose weight - most, technically want to lose fat around their body - the point i'm getting at is not rejecting the fact that people lose weight via caloric deficit. It's when you get to the point where "stubborn fat" remains, that the utilisation of macros in specific ways will help curb this…

Yes this is key first - I assumed she had the TDEE in check?!

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fat-loss-blunders-8-reasons-youre-not-losing-body-fat.html Although bodybuilding.com forum is sometimes somewhat controversial - even the athletes there support the notion of lowering carbs for higher protein and fat for fat loss. Seems pointless battling this Qs out cause it isn't going to…

yes it works - did that for first 6 months - not a good idea though as you miss the opportunity to build muscle as well as lose fat initially...

Never actually done it myself - am I correct in assuming that you are fairly low in energy (mentally that is) when you do everyday things?

You do know that I am trying to make a point stand out, if you look at my suggestion - I still advise 40% carb ratio for the lady asking - when you are losing weight, when it comes down to it, protein tends to stay on the upper end and fats moderate with a lower carb count. What you say on calorie in versus out is true but…

Like everyone said - high protein is key to feeling satisfied - even on the side of sickly! If you get cravings easily, drink 2/3 servings of a protein shake (50-75g powder) + 400-600ml skimmed milk - guarantee anyone doing this will either give up half way or will not feel hungry for at least 3 hours!

Amazing job vismal! You said AMA so what are your lifts on bench/squat/deadlift? :D

21 university student! Been here for 3 years now :p At 2200kcal - aiming to lose another 9kg - no goal date as yet since Ive been dropping weight averaging 0.5kg/2 weeks - since exams coming up I have to account for a possible 2 months weight fluctuations then back on track!

Yeah you can try and give teh creators of MFP a feedback and they will probably fix on next update.

ahahhah :D

Going over protein and fat count is typically fine - carbs are the bane of fat in truth... From what I see 55% of your daily intake being carb dominant is only beneficial if your goal is gaining weight - im 6'0 and 185lb and aim for 220g carbs during my workout days so that should indicate that your carbs are not the best…

Amazing physique from what I can tell in the profile pic! GJ thus far! Although I am more viced in fat loss area, the concept is similar - lift heavy with solid form and eat more meals. I would suggest your focus, if you are aiming at gaining solid muscle, is in the kitchen - but from that profile picture I assume you know…

Lol my old gym i went to, rarely any females joined and whenever one did come through the door, you could seriously go round the gym and take peoples belongings - no one cared if they got caught staring haha

And probably Stallone if you went to the dark side and took HGH etc.
