These are major surgeries you are talking about. Would you go to Mexico to have heart surgery? Would you go there to have your gallbladder removed?

C'mon...

fitinidaho - you can do well...

I would be fully supportive of him if he were making an effort to take control of his life, his health, and his habits - but it doesn't seem that he is... As far as I can tell, he's more interested...

I think your fat intake can be quite a bit higher than that, but that really depends on how your body reacts to different types of diets. I think you should try to get about .4 grams of fat per lb...

The EZ bars at my gym are 15 lbs. I think the "norm" is 25, but I would just ask someone who works at your gym -- someone should know.

Who are these people? Do you trust them for training advice?

You shouldn't stop training legs -- that won't spell success in the spring. I'm not sure what your legs look like, so it's hard to...

I want to feel bad for him, but it's hard...

Miranda - I don't understand why you would suggest that either. It makes no sense.

Also, that HIIT suggestion is very arbitrary, it seems. There are many ways to break the intervals - 30/30,...

I'm not a n00b and I would be sore from that amount of reps. That rep range isn't going to do a whole lot for anyone...

I laugh at people using that machine... it's kind of silly. I think it's safe to stick with the squats and deads, and lunges if you like.

:shrug:

Whenever some little weenie of a guy is staring or talking smack, I just remember that I have bigger biceps than he does and he's most certainly awkwardly jealous :p. The guys who are serious will...

The worst thing about this thread is the way some of you are running scared from the word "feminist" as if being one were something to be ashamed of.

Ridiculous.

Unless you are squatting your max, spotting shouldn't really be a problem with the squat... without a rack or cage, the hardest part will be getting the bar on your back once you start upping the...

I would say the exact same of most women.

*Average* people are getting more and more pathetic every day.

You are silly.

Right?

The "ordinary man" -- at least in current western culture -- is weak, unhealthy, overweight, and generally unimpressive both mentally and physically.

Pretty much anyone can do better...

There is no difference, so why do the option that sucks more? (I.e., not eating before exercising.)

:D

You are officially my new hero for saying that lol.

:D = green!

If you want to really increase strength, why not try something like a Bill Starr 5x5?

I know there is a link around here somewhere, or Google it and Madcow had a great breakdown.

If you've only been training a short time, you'd be better off doing a full body workout a few times a week to build a base. A split routine like the one you are doing is not going to yield you the...

Just be cautious hiring an online trainer -- some are amazing, and some are far from it.

bubblebooty -- I think I recognize your pic from EP? If so, your trainer is obviously one of those good...
