there is an awesome album called men's fitnes on itunes. Well even if it says mens fitness its suitabe for women too and has nice fast beat music that will keep you going.

Even if everything around you seems out of control you must remember, your body is your temple, and it is under YOUR control. Do not cave from life pressures, keep your head up and push on. You will get past today, like you have gotten past any other day. And when you look back you will smile, knowing you did the right…

protein shakes cannot be a meal replacement by itself. It can only be considered a meal replacement if carbs are added into it, eg oats. Drinking protein shakes to lose weight and gain muscle is contradictory and doesn't really make sense, as protein is not a magic nutrient that burns away fat. To lose weight, you need to…

thanks for rewriting what i said :P

firstly, protein does not make you "gain weight" nor does it "give you muscle". Imagine a house. A house is made of bricks. Protein are the bricks. And exercise is the construction worker. You cannot build a house without bricks, but you cant without the worker either. Meaning eating protein by itself without proper…

short answer... bodybuilding.com long answer... bodybuilding.com nuff said.

I had a quick scan of the article, and what a load of hocus pocus. Their entire argument is revolving on any food being low in fat has high sugar hence bad for you. Any person with any sense in how to eat healthily would actually check the back and see the contents of what they are eating, rather then go "hmm low fat im…

i Lold, the face and mental capacity of Tony Abbott... a child

please people. bodybuilding.com Nuff said.

noone will make fun of good advice. I dont necessarily log it, but I definitely remember my progress. When I first started lifting, my dumbbell incline bench i started with 8 kg DB, now I do 18-20kg DB and its been about 2-3 months

arched back... that isnt particularly good advice, as arched backs are prone to greater injury compared to straight back.

not necessarily true, you can still do dreadlifts without getting any bruises or scabs. The fact that the bar is scraping (different from touching) your leg shows a very small amount of poor technique.

It seems you are hitting your knees and shins alot. This generally happens with bad form. When you bring the bar back down from a lift, push your hips back FIRST and only bend your knees once the bar is pretty much at knee level. It is hard to understand first, so next time you do deadlifts just get a bar without weights…

You know alot of folks at the gym arent evil pyschos that will tear you a new one for being there. If you dont know how to do something just ask someone and Im sure they will help you. Just dont disrupt their lifts and wait for them to have their break in between sets :D

Firstly, you are being too critical about the value of the scale. Who cares what the number on the scale says, if you are lean and mean :P To answer your query though, You only need to weigh yourself once a week, at the most twice. This is because of the fact that alot of the weight fluctuation is from food, body wastage…

holy crap, that is some serious dedication to a pair of shoes. (No stereotyping here :P) I normally just go down to the local sports shoe stores and get what they recommend.

^ but normally rice increases 4x in volume when cooked. So 1 cup of raw rice generally becomes 3-4 cups of cooked rice.

Alot of people do not get in enough protein. Protein powder (chocolate flavor) in oatmeal is amaaaaazing. tasty, healthy, perfect.

As someone said above, any juice is generally crazy high in sugar. If you are thirsty then drink water. If you want something like juice, then eat some fruit and theres your juice there.

i have to semi agree. I do love a good carrot but.. sometimes a stick is often the best option, in this case I would say stick. The OP has no motivation, none nada, zilch. It is not simply a particular exercise or a particular workout but just moving in general. Like I said above, you need to rediscover why you started…

This.

In the end, it is very difficult to provide motivation through the internet. What you need to do is look deep inside yourself, find a microscope if you have to. Look and try to find the reason why you are calorie counting, why you want to exercise, why you set your goals to be what they are. Now tell yourself, DO you want…

Yes, often your body is like a immature child, just saying no to everything you say and end up having a tantrum, kicking and screaming. Be serious, be consistent and do not give up. Try doing this split: Day 1: chest/triceps Day 2: shoulder/biceps/back Day 3: back/Legs Day 4: cardio day (HIITS can replace any treadmill or…

Let me get this right, you workout 7 days of 7 days in a week (including your rest day cardio?) and you eat say 1300 calories roughly? do you do any weight training by any chance. Firstly assuming you are working out 7 days of 7 days, you are overworking your body. I suggest at the most 6 days a week but 5 days is better…

In terms of protein powders, as someone else said it is best to try it yourself. Just get your research done in terms of WHY you want to take protein powders. EG: if its for post workout then get whey and either add dextrose or eat a banana with it. If its for before sleep Casein isnt bad, or if you are trying to gain mass…

I highly disagree with whole grain over wholemeal Wholegrain foods contain all the components of the grain- the bran, germ and endosperm. The grains may be whole, cracked or milled. Wholemeal : Wholegrains that have been milled to a finer texture rather than leaving the grain intact become wholemeal. Wholemeal contains all…

Well well well, what do we have here, a hard gainer i see. YAY!!!! :D I am in the same spot as you, height 5"11" (181cm) and weighing in at about 65 kg or 141-144pounds. Eating 2700 calories and trying to bulk up

It is very simple, drink water :D ORRRR If you are in the US (Im from AUS so im not 100% sure of this) I hear they have this thing called crystal light. Its low in calories and its supposed to help for those who have trouble drinking lots of water. Give it a go!

I suggest doing a spring cleaning sesh during winter (in australia anyway). go through your pantry, your cupboards, your fridge/freezer and throw any evil devils out the window. Do. It. NOW!
