I'm 42 and find some of my best workouts are with the guys in their late 20's that work out regularly. As a group they tend to push harder than people in my own age bracket and being around that...

Didn't think I was allowed to be that blunt about the topic, but I guess as long as I don't use the key words it is all good?

People also need to remember that all those competing in the IFBB are not 200+ pound monsters. Let us face the fact that probably 99%+ of the population does not have the genetics or drive to...

For gaining the mean for the week, 7 days, is probably the best since your looking for such a small change of less than 1/2 a lb a week generally speaking. You could easily miss a change using a 5...

You could be dealing with all your muscles are initially trying to fill with water, but I hate to say if the scale is going up you need to eat less and move more to loose body fat.

Are you...

As long as you continue to eat at an excess and put on muscle you will continue to put on fat. Genetics determines where that fat will go. According to your goal at +2 lbs a month you still have 6...

This is part of it, but in reality most of us never get lean enough that dehydration makes a big enough difference. You have to get into your single digits, for men, to get photogenic abs. Most...

OP is far from a trained lifter. OP has lost 6 pounds total. My experience is more than relevant in this case.

I will only give pointers to people I either know, or if they asked me to spot them I might mention something I notice.

As for the dropping and throwing of dumbbells, this is a big issue for me. ...

Not saying this is what is happening, but I have found as I get leaner I actually get smaller when measuring myself with a tape measure. With that said, I look in the mirror and I look bigger though...

No you won't because your too lazy to do your own home work, so why would you stick to a workout plan or diet long enough to see any significant change in your body?

It's all psychological. I dropped from 180 to 150 in just over 3 months and didn't see any strength loss until around the last 5 or so pounds and it was pretty minor. Last weekend I pulled my back...

Personally I don't think you need to be looking at building yet. You need to cut down while on a healthy diet. The SL 5x5 is a good program and should even work while your cutting. Right now you...

Your always going to be on a diet. It is more of a matter of how much attention you devote to your diet and is it meeting your bodybuilding goals. 10 Twinkies and a bottle of jack Daniels everyday...

If you require protein shakes to get enough calories then you will never be able to maintain the gains you make when you go off the protein shakes. Personally I only use a protein shake to meet my...

Most beginners and obese people don't know how to eat. Part of body building is a life style change and as long as you keep the eating habits that got you where you are you will see no real progress...

Are you a vegetarian? You need more protein than 2 hard boiled eggs a day.

You also list your food, but not the macros that go with them. Figure out your macros and most likely you will spot 80%...

I've found the intensity of a martial arts workout depends heavily on the style and the individuals effort. I found with Jujitsu my effort required decreased as my technique got better. Effort is...
