I should have reframed thread to this sight. I used to come in here more often until recently I read things that are outright unhealthy-as I mentioned in my post.
Oregon chick- Sounds like half the people on this thread. Many people here avoid certain foods, sugars, cook with Splenda up the @ss to which has it's own set of health risks to avoid sugar, have...
Hi,
Just a quick question for you all, I'm doing a half- iron man tomorrow and kinda nervous, I've done Olympics, but this is my first half. I imagine I'll probably burn around 3,000 calories...
Thanks everyone, doing real squats then the keg press sounds like a good idea and challenging. I felt like I could push more on the leg press, 100 pounds versus 60 squatting. I'll start...
I looked at your profile pictures, good job on your cut- I'm being completely honest that you are no disproportionately (sp) shaped, your calves look just fine and normal. I think when sitting, the...
Is it better to use the leg press machine for various leg exercises (feet far apart, close, angled, and calves ), versus holing a barbell and doing the above?
Hey all,
I have not posted in this thread before, but kind of wanted to, as I've been on the path to recovery for well over a month now. Despite gaining a few pounds, and wanting to restrict some...
Want to give a thank you to those that offered advice. Since I posted this, I upped the calories to 2,000, decreased protein (getting between 80-100 now) and increased carbs. The first day my weight...
Hi, I'm not upset, I get it. That's why I'm posting here, for feedback and to get healthy. I am way healthier than I used to be, but yea, recovery isn't black or white and I'm just trying to...
At this point, yea, I feel like I'm over exercising. And thinking about it "when I'm worried about missing a second workout" is a sign of compulsion and I don't want to be like...
Thank you for that, that helps a lot. That's exactly how I felt yesterday and today and after looking at my protein intake, I was wondering why I felt so awful. I will definitely lower the protein...
Hi, yea, I do cardio do to doing triathlons and doing a half ironman in a few weeks. I love triathlons, but I want to be fit and strong instead of too thin.
The weight gain kind if throws me off...
Swimming.
Avoided it for the longest time due to wearing a swim suit and not knowing how to swim. I taught myself over 2 years by watching videos. I couldn't even do a length when I started. I...
I'm going to bud in here, and say that if this is what you want is to do it got the experience -or even compete - go for it and good for you for following through in your dreams.
I have heard from various sources that building up quad muscles is excellent for the knees , so yes. Wall squats would be great. You could start by doing 1 minute at a time, several times a day. ...
Did 3 sets today, 60 pounds (that's including bar). Could only do 10 on the last set. Goal is 80, already improved 10 pounds from a week ago.. Having a spotter helps :)
