Shape of the bicep
Some crazy questions about muscle shapes... don't hate. I got a buddy of mine to help me out with my arms because I've made great progress everywhere but my biceps. So bad that my forearms almost outsize my biceps. We have been lifting the same weight and I'm doing as many reps as he is. But his arms look giant in…

Need pro exercise tips and routines
Here are my current routines and I'd like to add a few more: Jumping down stairs w/ only a few steps. Skipping whenever you feel extra jolly. Sprinting to and from places like getting stuff out of your car. Running around the house naked after a shower to dry yourself off. Learning simple dance moves and bustin em out…

With a surprised look on my face I'm about to turn around and leave n she says "I don't care if you don't care, I wont even stare…

Having some serious trouble with this move.
Hey guys, I've been training almost two years now and I've been having a lot of trouble hitting my primary goal. Goku was able to master the Kamehameha wave after seeing it just once. I can't seem to get the grasp. Any tips?

I just want you all to know.

Forum Trolls
I think the worst forum trolls are the ones who don't know they are doing it. To everyone on here: 1) You do not know everything. 2) This is a place for discussion. 3) Because it is a place for discussion, we are allowed to be wrong, that's why it needs to be discussed. - Edited per community guideline 17.

Things that make you feel kind of like an idiot.
White gummy bears are my favorite. For some reason I've never had a single concern for what flavor white gummy bears actually are. As well as never putting flavor connection to pineapple. Someone said it out loud and my mind was blown. It's not that I couldn't have figured that out. It's that I did not even consider it.…

Protein gummy bears
Is it possible to make gummy bears just like those super tasty black forest brand gummy bears but with protein in them? I know you can make gummy bears out of like sugar free jello and whey and freezing them for 10 minutes but unfrozen is that anything like an actual gummy bear? Taste is actually less important to me than…

Constructive criticism. Compliments. Doesn't matter.
Someone at work said I look big and not all skinny and small anymore. I'm choosing to hope for the best and it's the new definition in shoulders/back/arms and not the 15-20 lbs of fat I've probably gained to get it rofl. I weighed 160 7 months ago. 185 now. Trying to switch gears and cut, slow start lol. The BF measurement…

East Stop Eat Intermittent Fasters - Gainers
Anybody following an eat stop eat intermittent fasting cycle and shooting for gains at the moment? Was hoping to find someone I can check in on for reference. A little about the shape I'm in, because I'm pretty sure that's important for long bulk periods. I'm somewhere around 18% body fat, maybe even less. Legs and arms…

Wish me luck on my hunt!
I decided that I want jerky to eat with my granola bars for my day-long rides and hikes. So I bought a Winchester model 70 .30-06 and a deer tag last night. The gun is called the black shadow. What the **** just happened?

Fresh food has ruined grocery deli food :-(
So I think Chinese deli food from grocery stores is pretty commonly disliked since it usually sits around all day and doesn't get replaced. I've always thought it was kind of ****ty, but I could eat it nonetheless. Today is the first time I wasn't able to eat food flat out to get the macros. I've been known to throw…

Simple shopping lists to make lots of food. "quick list"
I use this list to buy food on the fly. When I don't want to think about what I'd like to shop for to fit all my macros for the following week I use it. I've been using this list forever now and I'd like to change it a bit. Does anyone else have any quick lists they use to make go-to foods? I'm looking for…

Am I intermittent fasting correctly?
I sent a message to my fav MFP expert but I was hoping anyone else interested would take a look at my diary and let me know if that looks good for an IF schedule. I wake at 7. I run or lift 5 days a week at 1pm. Random sports on the weekends. Waiting an hour after exercise to break the fast at about 3pm. Starting the fast…

Too much dairy!!!!!!!!
So I'm just curious on what reasons people have to limit their daily dairy intake. I am not having problems with weight loss or weight gain and am not looking for any advice relating to that subject. I've seen people say too much dairy is not good for you. I eat a lot of dairy. What problems can this cause me? Am I in…

Christmas is ALMOST HERE!!!!
I often feel that sensation where you just want your results NOW. Although, for me it doesn't feel the same as the desire to take shortcuts. It feels like Christmas is coming. So excited for something that I know is going to happen, that I can hardly even wait for it. I have so much confidence in my workouts these days.…

Start bulking or cut a little longer?
Hey, I'd like some opinions on switching my routine up. First off, I don't think I have much BF% to go, my scale is reading 9.2% and I doubt it's more than 10% off because it doesn't look like I could lose more than 10-20 pounds. I'm 6' tall and 160 lbs. So I'm running into the problem where I'm likely in the 14-17% range…

Eating 1200 is too low. And above BMR is too high. LOL
Seriously there are some of you that just flat out should not be allowed to answer these people's questions. You get no where, all you do is fight about it. You wont accept any information against your opinion and it's getting tiresome to obtain quality facts when I have to read through all of your crap. It's not that you…

Removing Weight Mid-Routine Part 2
Okay, so I'm posting this again. But reworded so that people don't just attack my routine instead of discussing the issue. Is it okay to remove weight to finish a routine. Will my body build less mass with the same resources because I ended with a lower weight than I started? This is all pure speculation. Based on an idea…

Removing Weight Mid-Routine
What are good rules on removing weight in between sets due to being more fatigued than expected. For example: I've made it up to doing 70 lbs. 8x8 barbell curls. Today I figured I had a good enough rest, my arms felt okay. But I got about 5 or 6 sets in and couldn't finish the last few sets! What do you guys do in this…

Planning Food and Forgetting to Eat It
If you are the type that plans out the food they are going to eat throughout the day. There's a good chance you've probably forgotten to eat something before. For some people I think this is a great thing, others maybe not. Personally, I have a hard time moving it into another area because I have a rule not to eat over…

Go to hell, sugar!
Sounds like I'm telling some sassy lass to go to hell. It seems pretty impossible to avoid hitting 150% of my sugar goals. I rarely eat bad sugar, maybe once every couple weeks I'll candy binge. So many of my healthy foods contain a small amount of sugar in them, and when I add a piece of fruit or two, it goes way over.…

Test your body and find what works for you!
You really do get to know your body when you work out frequently. I stressed myself out over routines for weeks. I tried a few different routines. From working out daily to giving my body a day or two of rest, working out certain muscle groups one day and others another day. I'm very happy with all of the different…

Working only one area of the body.
I have an amazingly cut lower body with pretty large muscles. Yet still a good amount of flab on my stomach and chest with very little muscle on my arms. I've had trouble adjusting to rest days they make me feel strange so I've been working out 4-5 days in a row doing the same exact chest/arm routines. I understand this…

Eat BMR + Workout + More???
So my BMR is 1800, and I've been burning 400-600 calories per day weight lifting or running, depending on the day. I've been eating exactly 2200-2400 calories per day on the mark from what MFP gives me for calories/macros. Should I be pushing this up to like 2500-2700 a day? I'm building muscle that's for sure, but am I…

Nike+ Sportwatch. Can it do what I need?
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaah. Picked up my Nike+ Sportwatch GPS today. I'm having doubts so far, but I really do like the watch. Strength Training So a couple things about it right from the start, it is for running. I didn't quite understand that before I got it, I figured it had the features I needed and I wanted the Apple ease of…
