See this thread. I just posted on it with my experience (it goes back a ways, so click on last page). I thought it was a helpful post in studying for the exam.

Took my test today and passed. I agree with the above!!! I focused on anatomy, it was unnecessary. Very few questions about that. Maybe a couple about the heart/chambers. I found the exam to really...

Hi there and welcome!

I did Crossfit for a couple of years, and while I had good results, I was also lifting a couple days on my own and I was eating a lot more, I needed it because we did a lot...

I agree with the above the thinner I got the worse it looked.

If you think ab exercises will help go for it. But I've been down the road you're on, I'm 11 years pp from my last baby and I've done...

It looks like loose skin in my opinion...I have some from my pregnancies as well. As you are only 6 months pp, I do believe it will get better, but I don't think it will go away completely (mine...

Yup, I also do them at the beginning of back day. I like doing heavy dls and once I'm done with squats and lunges it just isn't happening!

Sounds to me you're at a good weight for your height, and you already have a good base, so I think you may have answered your own question about having nothing to cut, and you may want to try a bulk...

Agreed! The yogurt ranch and honey mustard are super good, and only 45 calories per 2 tablespoons.

You've gotten some good advice.

I also agree all of that cardio does nothing but counteract a nice shape. Once I stopped doing so much I looked a ton better.

Who cares what the scale says? Do...

I don't really see what you're talking about, maybe a little itsy bit of it, but I will share what helped mine.

Less cardio, more dead lifts, squats and weighted lunges, and gaining about 5...

^^^thats a good one!

I like a piña colada smoothie. I do a scoop of EAS whey vanilla, 8oz almond coconut milk, frozen pineapple and a squirt of Dasani Drops pineapple coconut. It. Is. Amazing.

You can use the sugar free pudding dry mix in plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, you just stir it right in and it tastes like pudding! The cheesecake and Pistachio ones are good. I also stir PB2...

I am trying to gain more knowledge on this subject.

Would you guys say it is a complete waste to do a short bulk, like 12 weeks? I kinda wanted to try it on before I commit wholeheartedly (I...

Love this thread.

Rock and Lotus - wow. Looking great.

I am just completing 8 weeks of my very first bulk. I have been 110-112 pounds for a good 8 years now and today I weighed in at 116 and I...

Huh, that's interesting, I'm gonna have to try that. Haven't used those machines since the 90's lol. I do like plié squats though. I do them with a calf raise as an addition to my regular leg routine.

Hey gals.

I've decided I'd like to try a mini bulk cycle before the summer (8 weeks bulk/3 weeks cut). I know I'm not ready to do a full bulk yet, but I would like to lose a couple % body fat by...

You look amazing!! If you hadn't said you lost 90 pounds (I looked at the pictures before I read the post) I never would have thought you lost 90 pounds!! What loose skin? Good luck at the...

I've been but only once. It was fun, but it was a workout I can do myself. Also in my opinion it is more for weight loss and competition, not for building strength. It was a combo of interval...

Thanks! I think I'll do as you, one warm up set before squats or deads or something I use heavier weights for.

I started Simply Shredded, and I have a question in regards to warm up sets. They say "You should perform 1-3 warm-ups sets before working a given muscle group."

Ok, so does that mean if I'm doing...
