How do you measure your progress?
When bulking, how do you know you're building muscle as opposed to just gaining fat? And do you have to be making PRs to build muscle? I ask because even though I'm increasing the weights (or sometimes just the reps) weekly I've lifted heavier before than what I'm lifting right now. For example I was DLing 170 lbs late…

Gained too fast. Now what?
Hey, I need some expert advice. I'm currently on the 3rd week of my bulk. My goal is to gain 1/4 lb per week (about a lb a month) by eating roughly 150 calories above TDEE daily. Last week I ended up eating 500+ above TDEE daily because of bad planning, work events and no self control. So at my weekly weigh-in I showed a 1…

Daily Check-in and Chat
So I started the Advanced program on Monday. So far I really like it. I think it's because of the change from all the heavy lifting I have been doing lately. I was up to squatting 130 lbs which is 3 lbs away from my body weight and I had begun dreading putting more weight on the bar. Also, I was finished in less time than…

Black men prefer...White men prefer...
THIS IS NOT A RACIST THREAD!!! I'M JUST MAKING AN OBSERVATION IS ALL. ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME. Just a general observation, correct me if I'm wrong but it seems black men prefer "thicker" women and white men prefer skinnier ones. By thicker I don't mean fat, I mean with a higher body fat %, or maybe just big boobs and…

How much do you lift? (Ladies only)
Hey ladies. Can you help me out? I'm looking for some motivation. I'm interested in finding persons (women) who weigh about the same as me and to know how much they lift. It's not to compare in order to feel bad about myself nor is it to feel like I'm better than anyone. It's simply so I can have some goals to work…

Calories burned teaching
So yea I'm a teacher but I took on some extra hours of night class and I wanted to add those in as extra in the exercise database. Any idea where I can find information about roughly how many calories I burn? I weigh 130 lbs, 5' 1. Does 50 calories per hour sound reasonable? I don't sit at all during the class, either I'm…

High Fructose Corn Syrup
So as I was doing up my shopping list, I wrote Post Raisin Bran. I LOVE cereal and I saw Whole Grain Cereal under level 2 so I figured this would be ok. Anyway, went to check the ingredients (I have a box at home) and saw "whole grain wheat". Great!...I thought. Then I continued to scan, and lo and behold: high fructose…
