Butte Tough here! :-)

All of the competitors that are getting ready this week, along with all the trainers that I know (am not working with them) have said this. They all preach clean eating. I could understand that if...

I don't understand why whey protein shakes, mixed with water alone, and containing zero sugars or carbs, have to be eliminated from diet during peak week, if I have been consuming it for the entire...

We all seem to crave the same types of things. Interesting. Mine is, as always...anything with All Natural Peanut Butter. I could eat an entire jar in one setting, although I don't. Damn self...

Bulking and wanting to add lean muscle. How many calories should I be consuming?

Hi there. I am training for my first figure competition in April of 2012. I am currently working on adding 10 pounds of lean muscle. I normally have very lean abs, but decided I wanted to add some...

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I will increase my weight for sure. I am still learning good form, so have been trying to focus on that more, but I think I am ready to increase weight,...

Wow!! Thanks so much. We sound very similar, actually. I have been using Fitday.com for the past two months. It is great, and does keep me on track. It also holds me accountable because when I think...
