Eat more food. Eat clean food. If you feel starving, you probably are. That is all... Jay

Yeah, it's odd this thread. My posts were posting but I couldn't see them when checking back on the thread... Wasn't appearing in my topics feed either. Weird... Jay

Totally acheivable. I agree, bulk up first. Maintaining muscle while burning fat is easier than maintaining low bodyfat while adding muscle. Make it as clean a bulk as you can anyway though, no reason to shovel junk food down just because you're gaining mass... Just make a surplus of good quality clean food. Protein…

Strange... I posted on this thread a minute ago and saw a few more posts from other folk too but now they seem to be gone... Anyway, what i said was: Yep. Yoga improves core strength and flexibility which are massively important pieces in the jigsaw of fitness. Plus, I always sweat buckets doing an hour or so of Yoga so…

Yep. Yoga improves flexibility and co-ordination which are hugely important pieces in the big jigsaw of fitness. Plus, I always sweat buckets during an hour or so of Yoga so that's gotta be a bunch of calories burnt right there. Jay

30DS is quite a good one. The DVD is pretty cheap to get a replacement from Amazon - or just do the workout without it. You don't need the dvd if you know the routines, just find your max intensity level. For any cardio based routine, just find your maximum intensity - which means do it until you think you can't carry on,…

I started losing about May this year at 192lb. Reached my goal weight 13/08 at 160lbs. Lost those 32lbs pretty much exclusively by eating properly. Wasn't too difficult with a bit of willpower - although I always said you have to be hungry from time to time to lose weight! I wasn't happy with my body at goal weight though…

Yeah, I'm rocking it! Eating clean and working out. I can feel some fairly defined abs underneath, just covered by that last stubborn little bit of belly fat! I'm so close to a 6 pack I can almost taste it :) Cardio and core work is the order of the week this week to try and reduce overall BF%. Back to resistance and ab…

Hey Alderaic! Welcome back! Way to stick with it through injury. Drew - Don't think I noticed any abdominal swelling with the creatine... Although I wasn't looking for it to be honest.. Definitely noticed some great additional size and bulk through it though, compared to using whey alone. I'm on a down week for Creatine…

Mocha - Welcome! Yeah, there's a few folk at different stages here. I think we started out with the plan to all run at around the same time (hence the banners you see around with the round start and end dates on) but over time we've grown a bit. I think when the main round has finished, this group will continue and just…

Ok Drew, now you're talking my language! The trick is to increase your calorie intake without messing up your macro split. Carbs aint so bad, so long as virtually ALL your carbs are complex ones. Check out a couple of recipes I posted a while ago: Protein flapjacks - great for pre or post workout:…

I'm not there yet but so close I can feel it. Every work day breakfast and lunch are the same Breakfast 1 slice whole wheat toast with lashings peanut butter Protein shake with water Midmorning snacks 150g cottage cheese 20g toasted seed mix Lunch 200g chicken breast Mixed salad Afternoon snacks 2 portions of fruit Eg an…

Why thank you :smile: I actually enjoy exercising now and get a bit anxious if I haven't worked out for a couple of days. To think 6 months ago I hated working out. Just goes to show it's compulsive! Oh, and I don't follow the mfp calories and macros any more, I set my own. Pretty much know what I'm doing with that now. Jay

Ps. Drew, that picture is brilliant! Massive props on your win! Jay

Hey all! Picked back up on legs/back today which puts me one day behind but I figure I'll pick that up at the weekend. Love legs and back! Although the tip of the day doesn't make any sense! Quality over quantity... except almost every move is a set number of reps! Funny... Here's another one of my suggestions for…

I lost 32lb and reached my goal weight without a jot of exercise, just eating properly. Of course I still wasn't happy with my body shape.. I guess you could say I was 'skinny fat'. Now I work out every day for at least an hour P90x stylee! I'm getting closer and closer to the body I want although the weight has swung…

Controversial subject... In fact almost as controversial as the 'are carbs evil' debate... So I'll start with the disclaimer that this is my opinion only. 2 litres a day or so should be enough for you if you're not in a hot climate, you're not doing much exercise and you're not eating too much sodium. I drink between 3 and…

Evening folks. Just checking in to face up to my poor performance this weekend. I had way too much to drink with my old buddy on Friday night so I had a self pity hangover day on Saturday and didn't do anything. I slept a fair bit and I ate reasonably sensibly. So I set my alarm for 9am today and actually forced my eyes…

Yoga day. I'm in a real rush today, I gotta get out to meet an old friend fairly quickly from work. So instead of Yoga X I plugged in my T Horton One on One Fountain of Youth Yoga. Didn't think I'd be that into it when I started, my mind was elsewhere and I just wasn't that motivated to do a whole bunch of yoga. By the…

I'm just finishing up my lunch break at work at the moment. Bump this thread though and if you haven't had any good answers by the time I get home later on I'll break it all down for you. Jay

A 6 pack is the Xmas present I've promised myself so yeah, I'm in. Currently doing P90x (day 46 today) so I reckon that will go a long way towards getting those chiselled abs I'm after. I can see the outline of the ab section, just need to work on the muscle seperation to see the individual abs. Remember folks, abs are…

Man oh man... Back and Bi's is absolutely killer! I love it!! And to think this is the workout I hated a couple of weeks ago because I kept having to change my weights. Well I've got 2 sets of bars now and I've also figured out that I can get to my max with plenty of time left on the clock so if I need to change weights…

Ooh... Forgot to say on this. A good rule of thumb for sugar consumption (be it fruit sugars or otherwise) is to ensure that no more than 30% of your carbs come from sugars. For example, I shoot for 180g carbs per day so that's 60g sugars per day - which come mostly from fruit for me. Can't recall where I read that but it…

Morning all! Just wanted to be the first to wish us a happy day 45! That's 50% done for most of us (Mike and others on a different schedule excluded of course). In the words of Tony H "We're halfway. The party's almost over man. What a bummer." :wink: I got Plyo in yesterday. I found it a bit easier since I didn't do…

This!

Evening team! I'm back! Well, I have to say guys, Nashville was absolutely awesome! Mad busy itinerary, what with the whiskey tasting, the distillery tour, the gig, checking out a few bars etc. A major highlight for me was a street busker called 'The Broadway Rapper' - check him out on Youtube if you get a minute, it's…

Ro - Awesome! Way to step up the intensity! That's what I love about this program, you can tailor it down to yourself or if you need more, there's endless ways to step it up! YVL93 - Welcome to the group. Great job on getting to week 2! Just keep pushing play and bringing it every day and you can't fail! Come and check in…

Yeah, p90x is tough, no doubt about it. Totally do-able though, you just gotta commit to doing it and pushing yourself. Day 37 here. No real weight loss to speak of but then I've been purposely gaining lean mass rather than losing weight as I started the program at my bottom goal weight. Significant changes in my body…

Sounds good. I'll give it a go. My protein powder is pretty tasty. Tastes like hot chocolate powder :) Jay

Boring as hell over here - not bothered about the taste, more about the effect. Different depending on the days schedule and where I am in supplementation cycles, but the basics are: 1 scoop whey 1 small scoop creatine Half a scoop maltodextrin OR half a scoop Dextrose 1 small scoop L-Leucine 250ml water or skim milk…
