I always have this issue when lifting and watching intake. Scale won't move for weeks on end and then suddenly one day I'll wake up and be down a few pounds.
I'm sensitive to carbs as well and bloat and gain weight, regardless of caloric intake if my carbs are over about 120g a day. Once you've been doing it long enough they don't even really matter for...
Just personal preference, but I'm using a 5 set, 8-12 rep setup right now. Seems to be working well and I'll use that for a while and then move to a 5x5 for a while and then back to the 5x8-12. I...
You'll be getting plenty of exercise in boot camp, trust me. I came out of boot camp after 2 months and had lost 40lbs, some of it muscle for sure, but enough fat that I was easily in the 9-10% body...
I'd be willing to bet that Oprah's account of what went down is mostly fabricated. Racism is a hot topic in the US right now, and it's just something to drum up attention, and liberals like her LOVE...
Yep, my premiums are up 18% this year to just over $1700/mo for myself, wife and child. Rumors are that they are set to go up another 80% next year for the exact same coverage. At this point it'll...
I certainly wouldn't say it's "normal" but damn, you need to tell me what you are doing so I can try to copy you, I've been needing to drop a good 40-50lbs for a while and I've plateaued (or at least...
I think that declines have their place and I used to do them regularly, though not as the main bench lift I was doing. I always did primarily flat bench, with equal number of sets and reps of both...
Parvir123 - No offense intended, but you are 14, while I can understand that motivation can be an issue at times, just get in the gym and start lifting, motivation will come as you start to see...
wacko9119 - At your height and weight, if you are worried about body comp, or wanting to change your shape, 6x a week HIIT sprints isn't necessarily going to do that for you. I incorporate HIIT...
My joints do just fine, unless I eat white potatoes. It sounds insane, but after eating potatoes (unless sweet potatoes) my knees click and pop for about 2-3 days afterwards. I have more or less...
If you are comfortable eating paleo, don't change. I also feel my best when eating lower carb. I'm on a bit of a plateau, but I'm changing up workouts soon so that might help, eating any amount of...
I've always wondered about creatine as well. Lifted for many years 16-24 before getting lazy and fat, and never used creatine at all. I think that after I drop some weight I'll try it out for the...
Just be wary what the nutritionist has to say. I've seen too many times that they will recommend diet with an insane amount of carbs, including sugar, for someone that is diabetic. Many times the...
I have always loved squats. I'd do them more, but many times I'm forced to work out at a gym in the building where I work, and there is no squat rack, not even a smith machine to do them!
That being said, I'm using how my clothes are fitting as a gauge. Things seem to be looser, even though I've not lost much at all on the scale. I know there are ways to speed up the process, but I've...
