I'm trying hard to lean up and I'm pretty much just eating turkey chicken breast and yams ... I'm still doing strength training and cardio twice a week ... I need advice and tips

My girlfriend has recently asked me to make her a weightlifting program to help her marathon running. Here is a link to her running program, http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51142/Marathon-Advanced-2-Training-Program. This will start on July 22. Once she gets closer to marathon time (November) she...

When I was younger, 14-16 I was stupid and took the short cut to loosing weight, aka starving myself. I went into the double digits, but ever since I started eating regularly, I just have gained gained weight. So I am wanting to loose weight again, only the healthy way. Is my metabolism ruined bc...

I've really been interested in gaining lean muscle but my body fat % is WAY high at about 43%. I know I need to get it down but I'm much more interested in the weightlifting aspect. I do cardio for about 10 mins before every work out and I work out 5 days a week, with of course the main focus being...

Are there any girls here that have competed at an NPC comp in a teen division?! Need some advice. People are pretty rude on here and starting to discourage me. I'm 17, but I won't be 18 in time of the comp I'm competing in, so I'm doing teen since it would be kind of intimidating competing...

So a friend recently asked me to "teach" her how to "do" weights (because if you have muscle people assume you are a professional). Its fine though because I love helping others. :) I did some research and recommended the All Pros beginner workout. She's done it once but is now so sore. Its...

Hi there, I just signed up for this forum, because I love working out and getting in shape. But I have a problem that I think has to do with bloating. I eat really well, a lot of fruits and veggies, almond butter, almond milk, spirulina powder, fish oil, sometimes chicken, eggs, quinoa, no wheat,...

I booked a camping trip and I'm just curious if anyone has done this and has some tips on preparing meals and workouts in the wilderness. :) I'm in the middle of training for a figure competition, and just would like some imput. I don't feel like we should completely hide in a hole until show...

I'm currently at the end of "that time of month" but for some reason I am really struggling with my diet, and the craving's are playing havoc and I can't seem to stop grazing, so my question is when training daily do you adjust your diet for that time of month? I have recently increased my calorie...

Hi, I’m new to the forum and I had a few question. My goal is to have as close to an hour glass figure as my body will naturally allow. I am 5’9-10 and a 19 years old (20 on May 31st) female in college. I weigh 144lbs. My current measurements are 38-28.5-38. My first goal is 39/40-26-39/40, and...

Hey ya'll, glad you stopped to read this, I appreciate any info. I have determined it was a ligament that snapped over the joint and is having a hard time setting back into place. I've been doing light stretches and taking it somewhat easy on it, but I cant baby it forever. What can I do to heal...

I am completely new to body building. I finally got a gym membership with Childcare and really want to try a new approach to losing the extra weight I've acquired from two back to back pregnancies. I was an avid runner before but I feel like I need to restructure and challenge my body. To the...

I'm just curious if anyone has ever seen anyone compete in a figure competition that is considered a heavyweight (usually over 125 lbs)...Has anyone ever competed while being 140 lbs/150 lbs? I was just wondering because there are some girls out there that will still get up on that stage...

OK I want to compete! I contacted an agency to help me out and they seemed excited. Then after seeing my pictures, suddenly they weren't accepting new clients and said I wasn't "withing striking distance". I will admit I have a long way to go but I"m not hopeless! Now I want to prove more than...
