Hate training legs & triceps, love training chest & shoulders.

Decembeard, I can do. Movember? Not so much... I grow facial perfectly normally everywhere on my face that you'd expect, besides the 'tash area. Then again, it would be amusing to get sponsored to grow several wispy hairs upon my top lip. Edited 'cause I can't spell...

Scales (that aren't worth hundreds) will be often terribly inaccurate. Mine, for example, tell me that I am around the 30% body-fat mark when, realistically, i'd say i'm closer to 17-19%. The methods mentioned by ClassickQC are, indeed, the most accurate methods to gauge body-fat. However, they are rather costly. If you're…

I guess i'll just have to introduce myself to newcomers with a list of my disadvantages so they don't think I tripped and fell into this body. Then i'll have to kill the rest...

Nah.

Too many grapes. Don't you know that fructose is toxic to the human body?

Just add a little paprika and maybe some cayenne pepper too (if you're feeling spicy) and it just makes it.

Just try your hardest not to run with 1.5 x bodyweight, attached to a barbell, over your shoulders and if you do, whatever you do, don't bend down to pick anything up. If you drop your water bottle, just leave it, it's gone. If you drop your towel, it's fine, you can buy another one. Follow these simple instructions and…

But...but...that would suggest that the best way to lose weight is to focus on proper nutrition...and we all know THAT'S not true!

My post-workout shake. 600+ cals (Strawberries 'n' cream flavour w/milk, fine oats & creatine). Tastes like a Strawberry milkshake from a Diner. After a tough workout, it makes me feel almost human again.

Always ask for exercise program suggestions then completely ignore the good advice, while half-heartedly starting a program that will be of minimal help towards reaching your goals. Post a similar update 2 weeks later saying you're not seeing results and require more advice.

If bread gets stuck in the toaster, use a metal fork to coax it out. ...and if that doesn't work, take said fork and ram it into the mains power supply. Enjoy your toast.

At first, I was taking it with water too but it was nasty...I considered buying capsules, but then I found that, per serving, it was more expensive (and if you saw my supplements 'corner', i've got to keep costs down wherever I can) so I decided to try 5g of creapure in my post-workout shake and, although it slightly…

No, I hear ya, bro. It's more like 73% nutrition, 27% exercise...

Deactivate and go home. All is lost.

Obsolete Garbage Hippopotamus.

I'd be exactly what a friend of mine has, a white van with a turbocharged porsche engine (yup, sounds like a waste because it IS a waste). Not much to look at on the outside, but got alot of 'get-go'. After all, it's what's under the bonnet that counts, right? (inb4 penis innuendo)

I got more sex as a fatty than I do now because I was also out partying alot, drinking and smoking. Now I spend my money on whey and dumbbells and i'm boring, but i'm happier now that i'm drink and drug-free. Sex does not always lead to happiness. Who'da thunk it?

I actually just used some this morning to make Dark Chocolate-Covered Protein Bars (which were yummy). I used 75g coconut flour, 55g Whey 80 concentrate powder (Strawberries & Cream flavour, but you could experiment with others...vanilla would be really nice), 90ml of milk (but you could use coconut/almond milk too) and…

BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!

Lost 70+ lbs, quit smoking (cigarettes and...well...naughty ones), I now only drink alcohol a few times a year, I have found a passion for nutrition and exercise and the science behind it and my food choices are far better and i'm far more aware of what i'm cramming in my mouth. As a full time student, I also used to order…

Protein farts... ...and you can't leave the room 'cause then they know who the guilty party is.

Originally saw this and thought, "uh-oh, let's see how much of a bro lifter I am". I was doing so well, not conforming to any of them until "43. …You use a neck pad on the bar during squats" & "47. …You carry pre-packed Tupperware full of chicken breast and rice everywhere you go". Damn.

I come from a family of active, healthy individuals. My dad goes to the gym twice a day and, for a 60-something-year-old, he's in good shape. My mother is also lean and goes to Zumba and pilates. My brother is a county-level rugby player with six-pack abs. I was the only fat member of the family. I used to get all kinds of…

I started a new weight-lifting program a fortnight ago and for the first week my soreness was unreal. I invested in a 90cm x 15cm foam roller and now, every rest day, I spend half an hour or less rolling each muscle group on it. Some muscles are more difficult to roll properly but there are routines on Youtube to ensure…

But...but...if you get rid of all of the 'My boyfriend sabotaged me again...' forum posts, you're allowing the forums a higher concentration of 'if all I eat is air for a week, will I go into starvation mode?', 'I ate a slice of banana and i'm over on sugar' and 'I can't see what i'm doing wrong (only to find out they're…

I sure would.

What i've found is that calories in vs. calories out is the basic principle to follow for effective weight-loss. In terms of altering body composition, you need to start fine-tuning macros, which in turn, will alter the thermic effect of food (how many calories are being burned through metabolising that food, for which…
