Anyone doing Jamie Eason's LIVE FIT??
I was doing heavy compound moves lifting, and decided I wanted to switch it up and do more days of lifting. I started a couple weeks ago, and am really enjoying it! Anyone else currently, (or in the past), doing it? What were your results? :D

What in the sam hill is going on??!!
First some info. I am a 41 year old woman, 5´1, and in August I weighed 117. I now weigh 130. My diary is not open because I live in Denmark and you probably wouldn't understand what half the food was. *lol* That being said, I weigh and measure EVERYTHING. I always have, and I am not eating any more then I was (1500-1700…

Forced workout break...
Due to a medical issue I won't be able to work out for the next 2 weeks, I am super bummed about this, but it is what it is. My question is, when I am working out my TDEE is 2300-2500, alas for the next two weeks I won't be doing much but laying in bed, so do I drop my calories to 1240 (my bmr) to avoid gaining?? Any…

How long does water weight last for YOU??
I am interested what the average length of time peoples bodies hold on to water weight after a "cheat" or "re feed" or whatever. *lol* I eat moderately low carb 100-150 most of the time, but life happens and I enjoy it when it does. I tend to gain 5-7 lbs of water weight when I do, and it takes generally 7-10 days to come…

Water weight a week later??
Last Friday I went to the in laws for an Easter get together and enjoyed myself immensely! That involved a ton of salty food, cake chocolate, you name it! I knew I'd be up on the scale the next day (and I was 5 lbs up!!), but I knew it was just water weight and got right back to eating the way I usually etc. Well here it…

Transitioning to maintenance?
I am about 5 lbs from my new goal weight of 125, and I need to start thinking about what I will do when I get there.

Advice needed (weight lifting related)
Last year I completed a round of Chalean Extreme and really enjoyed it. Since then I have bounced around doing other programs (mostly bench presses, squats, deads etc. 3 sets of ten reps, as heavy as I can) I find myself getting bored though and thought maybe I would do another round of Chalean, but here is where I need…

Goblet squat a better alternative then a dumbbell squat??
I workout at home, so no squat rack and no room to put one anyway. I have been doing squats with dumbbells hanging at my sides, but I read that a goblet squat would be a better alternative? Anyone have any thoughts on that? Also, what would be a good alternative to step ups. For the life of me I just can't get the hang of…

Someone please explain to me how this is possible, because 200…

Lost strength after 1 week off weights, possible?
I am curious about something, last week I took a break from weights, mostly because it was Winter break for my kids and we had a lot of things to do. I have been lifting heavy for around 7-8 months now, anyway, when I did my workout today (upper body) I seem to have lost some strength. I could only do 10 push ups (was…

HRM and lifting..
I know that HRM's are generally considered inaccurate for weight training, but I have a question. The program I am doing now is basically 3 sets of 10, with 1 minute rest between each set. During those rest minutes I usually do something (high knees, jumping jacks etc), so my heart rate stays between 70% - 80% for the…

Which routine is better??
