Maintenance means to keep what you have. Most people don't want to maintain their fat, but unless you are dieting, that is exactly what you are doing in normal everyday eating. And the more body...

I went through a phase where I was doing 6 sets of 20 squats with very light weight on leg days. Although I was somewhat embarassed by the "wussy" weight, I made amazing gains on knee strength!!! ...

A 200lb man needs more calories to maintain his weight - fat and all. The whole idea behind 10-12X your bodyweight is to not crash your metabolism by eating too far below maintenance. As you weight...

I'm outside of Charleston but not exactly a "brotha"........more like a "sista".

I always thought that we used muscle glycogen during exercise and the rest of the time we primary run off blood glucose supplied by our food and liver glycogen.

I understand that. But if your body goes into starvation mode, your body lowers it's BMR (by eating away at your protein stores) to accomodate your new caloric intake. It's at this point when you...

You guys are crazy.

A caloric surplus is the only thing that will cause you to gain fat regardless of the macronutrients you take in.

No way! Absolutely not. They are off big time!

My BF% is a little higher than your alleged 28% and I'm fat! lol

If your not really worried about the number necessarily, then just keep track...

Thanks for the info. I'm a reading fool this afternoon!

I'm not so sure he fits the PP mold. I know he was 9yo when I noticed early pubic hair, but he could've been almost 10. There is no...

Drinking raw eggs (not the shell) was pretty commonplace in the (early) days.

Back then they didn't know about whey/soy protein, or at least didn't market it as a supplement. Once they found out...

I have questions.......

My son started puberty on his own at age 9. I was concerned in the beginning, but as time goes on, his sexual maturity is still happening, but at a much slower rate than...

It's true, it happened to me. I was forced to drink 2 quarts of water at one sitting for an ultrasound that I was having (had to have a FULL bladder). Idiots.

It's funny how your body let's...

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

I've done it all. Flat, incline, decline BB & DB presses, flies, cable cross-overs, and dips (leaning forward).

I had a rotator cuff impingement several months back that really set me back. ...

That's a new one. I'll try it!!!

Thanks!

I've been lifting for a few years and it seems I just can't get my chest to do anything! I've only had a chest "pump" a couple of times and my strength gains have been minimal.

I am a woman and I...

Thanks!!! That helped a lot!

Where on my torso should I be bringing the BB up to? I am very big breasted and have been bringing the bar right under my boobs. I can bring the bar right to my chest, but that really restricts the...
