Jason with it being that time of year, what are your thoughts on training with colds and/or potentially oncoming flu? Can it hinder your progress if you train past a certain point of a cold or flu? I...
You'll get them, no doubt. I should take pictures sometime soon of my 3 month progress and probably keep steady with them, but once I'm done with a day's session all I want to do is rest lol.
It fluctuates. After squats and the next exercise (bench or DL depending on day) I typically relax for a few minutes to collect myself. Other than that though, my energy is pretty consistent for the...
Yep, 2 hours is becoming the norm for me unless I have a major lift on reset due to previously failing. It's a bit of a silver lining being able to speed things up in that regard, even if you're...
Once the weights started getting up there and I started putting up what for me is heavy, I find it very hard to keep this routine under 1 hour and 30 minutes. Hell, the first hour of today's session...
Regardless of your body fat %, we can all agree that you have a good amount of fat which means that your body is equipped to handle a pretty aggressive caloric deficit.
All that a drink labeled '0 calories' means, is that its 5 or less calories I believe. They can round down legally to say it's got 0 calories. Why is a can of Diet Mt Dew 0 calories while a bottle...
A little to broey and boring for a bulking diet IMO. Hopefully you'll find that you need more calories and will live a little. Could do without 1 or 2 of the protein scoops, as you really don't need...
If you cut first at least you'll be able to see positive changes in your figure. If you were to bulk first, you'd spend a while ballooned up and spend another while trying to cut it all off.
Hey, nice log. Sorry if you've mentioned it already, but what's your current activity level like? You seem to be gaining at a nice, slow rate with pretty sizable cal intakes on some days and it'd...
Hey guys. Had a 7.5 inch double cheese steak sub from Cousin's today, which is listed as 1090 calories and 537 grams. When I got home, out of curiosity I threw it on my scale and came up with 406...
Gradual makes sense when trasitioning from cut to bulk because of potential fat gain or whatever, but I too am interested if gradual decreases are really necessary.
Even if the way you're going about this were accurate (it's not - for reasons your first post mentions in the giant quote you seem to have completely ignored), why would you ever want to do what I...
Diet Soda and whatever is what Martin suggests (the article I mentioned) but also states that you should just drink what you want. Alcohol is alcohol and your body will try to get rid of it all the...
