Good Job, bro.

How did the transition to maintenance go? Gain much back?

I've read a huge chunk of this thread and Aaron, If you are still around, Thanks. Also thanks to the many others in here who help out.

Question for V-Dieters. It seems like a lot of people in...

C'mon. You know chicken is way better than turkey...

The most recent studies suggest coffee is overall better for health, weight loss, insulin/glucose control and even cancer prevention than tea. Here are some references:

Hey, thanks a lot. This is a great idea and make a lot of sense. I will give it a shot.

This an 11 hour fast. You can't call this fasting. Splitting up your fast throughout the day does not give you the same benefits of fasting.




No. You have to draw the line somewhere. If this...

Gah. I think you might be on to something there with this being mental. Hmm. Now I gotta figure out how to stop being a wuss and push that darn bar harder. Thanks!

My sleep is good, I get about 7 hours a day. I drink plenty of water. I'm getting 2700 cal on lifting days with about 285 g protein, about 50 fat and the rest carbs. On rest days I have about 2400...

I do low intensity cardio (brisk walk for 45 mins, 2-3 times a week). I feel my lifting volume is pretty low, but I don't exactly know what to compare it to. For example: Today was bench day and I...

Is anyone doing Wendler's 531 while IF'ing? I've been doing it since december and I think I'm getting weaker. When I started it I was at a caloric surplus and was increasing my weights but now, for...

Not only is it possible, it's quite easy if you're creative and it doesn't have to be dirty either.

Salad with evoo dressing 300 cal
12 oz sirloin, 800 cal
1 cup white rice 300 cal
1/2 cup...

Yes. Make sure to include re-feeds. Try to have those re-feeds after a heavy weight training session.

This study evaluated subjects that were fasting 20 hours, every other day. Also, they were ingesting 40% of their calories via liquid meals. I don't remember how much protein they had on a daily...

The "90% maxes" I'll start with for my first round of 531:

I used to do this a lot. So much that it was impeding my weight loss efforts and was how I always ended up cheating on my diet. I was fairly good at keeping my diet in check while awake but I'd F up,...

Why limit yourself to only one of them? Have both.

Lol, ok maybe like 3 :D

I feel like today went pretty bad at the gym and I've been bummed about it all day. I was at my girlfriend's house and spent like 2 hours putting together a...

The body will process everything you put in it unless you are suffering from a malabsorpition syndrome.

Technically, you absorb more of the egg protein if it's cooked but what you are doing is...
