You dropped 100 lbs? If you're 240 now, then you used to be 340, right? I find it hard to believe you have loose skin, because some old school bodybuilders used to bulk to 300, then cut to 200...

Yeah, I'd say this is probably true. And when you think about it, just from a physics book perspective, running 3 mi in 26 min and doing 20 pull ups at 180 lbs is probably more difficult than...

Well, that first time, I had a lot of trouble just doing the 135. But when I quit the machine and went strictly to the barbell, my strength improved pretty rapidly. IIRC, I was up to doing ~185 for...

For better or worse, I'd say training through sickness somehow builds a certain kind of "toughness." You won't get instant results training sick (you may even suffer losses), but that "toughness"...

Marine Corps Boot Camp.


Back when I went (1999), EVERYBODY was sick with a kind of cold (that was called the "recruit crud"), for the ENTIRE duration of boot camp. And of course, despite being...

Machine weights ain't so bad. You can build a decent chest off them. But still, the BB bench is probably much better.


When you do switch over to BB's don't make the same mistake I did. Before...

Hahahaha...


I've seen this Insanity before. From the looks of things, I'd be FLOORED after doing Insanity. Anyway, a buddy bought Insanity with the intention of doing that, and only that, and...

About the sodium. It's water soluable, right? So, if you drain the water, shouldn't you be getting rid of a good portion of the reported sodium?



Just curious.

May be more "srs" than you think. The old schoolers believed that heavy squats forced the lungs to work harder, thereby expanding the chest.

Take 100 random men off the street who have NEVER touched a weight. IMO, you'd be lucky if ONE of those guys could do the 75's on the incline just ONCE.

Obviously, deadlifting will thicken the waist, because deadlifts are such an intense core exercise. But when it comes time to cut, you'll be glad you did them.

@10% BF, you have no stomach at all.

I think loose skin is a matter of how quickly you lose weight, and how much of the loss is actually fat.


I often bulk and cut in a 40 lb window without much problems. However, one time I did...

Slightly high-average-ish (~22%), but you'd definitely want to bulk before cutting.

Once again, the BenJardis29 theory of HIIT.


HIIT tries to be both cardio (through the jogging intervals) and muscular stimulation (through the sprinting intervals). Because it does both jobs,...

I've done this with some success:

1. Deads

2. Pull ups

3. Chin ups

4. Shrugs/Row superset

straight out of the can. maybe mixed with a can of green beans or something.

I've always wondered about this myself.


For practical reasons, cardio immediately after lifting is the only way we can fit both into our schedules. Main problem I see with the shake right after...

I do not believe in HIIT.


There, folks. If you want to hear the cardio theory of some internet jackass who is ~210 lbs @ 20% BF, then here it be:


Sure, there are a lot of studies floating...

It depends on your goals, really.


If, for example, you wanted to decrease your waist size as much as possilbe while losing weight, you'd want to do NO ab work. Obviously, there are dangers...
