I'm pretty sure I've seen a more general study that showed that overall activity level was a more important predictor of overall health than BMI, but I can't find it right now. Basically the study...

from what you said, it sounds more like a medical procedure than a diet to me...

I agree with Nithos to give stomach vacuums a try.

I have thought about using these metal sawhorses for squats a bit more. Although very unlikely, they have the ability to fold up. For that reason, for even better safety it may be wise to secure...

Good luck. Resistance is resistance... I don't think the muscles care if it's a bowflex or a large piece of iron they're pulling against.

Here's an article you may find motivating:...

Awesome job! Thanks for letting us know.

Take a gander at this article:

My slightly-modified summary:
eat clean
count calories
smaller meals...

My thought is that 1 day (cheat day) over your calorie budget is better than 7 days (7 cheat meals).

I agree with CMan that dumbbell squats or deadlifts may be your best bet. Metal sawhorses are another idea. I just got some from Home Depot for doing dips (and some sawing too). Though they are...

Several authors I've seen recently are downplaying the role of cardio for both general fitness and strength training. Whether that's right or not I can't say for certain. Sounds like you've come to...

Hitting the weights is what prevents you from losing muscle while cutting. You might get lucky and even gain a little muscle. 1800-2000 calories per day seems like a decent place to start. You can...

Another idea for important social occasions is to try and plan your meals around them. Go lighter on the calories for your other meals that day to help make up for it. Also, depending on the...

If you're playing basketball anyway, I would cut out the treadmill work and focus on the bodyweight exercises and the bowflex. While doing 40 bodyweight squats is way better than sitting on the...

Sounds good. Also consider drinking 1+ gallon of cold water per day, and get lots of sleep.

I say start with a cheap bench and some threaded adjustable dumbbells, and find a way to do dips and chinups. Or, get a 300 lb olympic barbell set instead of the dumbbells. You may need to worry...

Straight bar. Length doesn't matter too much. Safety is important with a barbell, especially for bench press. If you don't have someone to spot you on that exercise, you need to think hard about...

I think walking twice a day is plenty of "cardio". I walk once a day. I do my weight training with limited rest between exercises so I still get my heartrate up. The problem with doing too much...

I would love it if someone could find some research to back this up one way or the other. The last time we had this discussion I thought I found some studies with rats in controlled temperature...

Aloha from New Jersey, we're not usually that polite here. ;)

If it were my baby, I would stay away from pretty much everything except a multivitamin. Everytime you turn around some new study...

According to this article, genetics plays a significant role in seeing your abs.
