Mental affects of working out?

[paradigm0shift]

If I am following a strict 5 to 6 meal a day diet, but I allow one cheat meal a week, how should I formulate the rest of that days meals to cooperate with the cheat meals caloric amount. I do not have a set limit to the calorie amount on the cheat meal. I also still stick to the no processed foods idea so if I want a 1/2 lb cheeseburger I make it myself.

What is the best way to build up your obliques?

[McPeaZy]

I know alot of people sit at a desk all day while they work. Personally, I work with people fairly close to me so I can't exactly get on the ground an do push-ups. I recently started working out and I usually stretch a bit while I'm sitting there. I'm looking for some tips for people that work at a desk on how to get some exercise in or even stay limber. For example, a common recommendation is to replace your chair with an exercise ball (better for posture and you use your core/abs to keep it steady. Again, subtle exercises with little/no equipment please.
Thanks

Ok, I'm back. Now for a few ideas :

Low VS. High GI/II Carbs Post workout

The Glycemic Index : Overrated?

Fat : How Important is It?

Is Training to Failure the Best Way to Train?

Milk : the Underestimated Product?

How to Maintain Proper Safety Over the Long Term

The Top 10 Keys to Maintain Longterm Success


I may have some more later.

I think the underestimated product is a good topic, Milk has been a daily for me in my dieting and I think it was been the best thing i could have had in my diet.

I really think a question about stretching would be great.

Part 1: Should a bodybuilder stretch before lifting, after lifting, or both?
Part 2: What is the best method of stretching for bodybuilders? Static, Dynamic, PNF, etc.
Part 3: What are the benefits and consequenses of stretching?
Part 4: How long should stretches be held for?

BONUS: Explain how you use, or don't use, stretching in your workout program.

^This!

Is this thing still going on or has bb.com given up on it.

I'd like to start writing articles again, but I haven't seen any new TOTW's posted recently.

[ALECLYNNE]

Hi All
I have been looking at some of the other sites for opinions all time best body builder ,
and it seams that most opinions are that the present day monsters that do not look like what they have built is not through natural means , so here are some names that i have followed from my early time in body building , john grimek, clancy ross , steve reeves , ect now these are real body builders , has body building is surposed to be about healthy living ,
(Drug free ) so if any one else is able to come up with other names it would be good to see them and to discuss about the past body builders who trained for improving there health and body with out drugs .

From Along time drug free trainer ,Alec

How about something for sports all there ever is if about muscle building or fat loss or diet why not have some sports TOTW I know I would be interested

[domesticbliss]

How do you maintain muscle when you cannot get to the gym for an extended period?
Ex You will go away on business / holiday / for school for a few weeks or will be extremely busy for a month.

Is it worth over exerting yourself in the weeks leading up?

Do you maintain your lifting diet or cut back for the duration?

Do you create a simplified workout (ex: push ups/crunches) while away?

BONUS: Have you dealt with in the past and how much did it affect your strength and physique?

[surfdivejump]

When to stretch for gaining mass? Do you stretch right before you workout, right after you workout, or several hours after you workout?

For running, I stretch right before I take off and it helps. I don't feel any difference if I stretch right before I lift, so is it beneficial?

[josh.wexler]

One thing that has always been a struggle of mine is sleep. I have dealt with insomnia my whole life and I am fighting very hard to beat this dang thing. What are people doing to make sure they are getting proper sleep? What natural sleep aids are people taking? How long does it take people to get themselves on a good sleep cycle? Any suggestions on this topic would be awesome!!

Excessive Lateral Pressure Syndrome and resistance exercises... How to workout safely??? How to build muscules which will "heal" the situation?

[chiefgreybeard]

What do you think would make a good topic for this section? What makes a good topic?

1. Members are able to give a long and detailed answer. It can't just be a question that can accept a "yes" or "no" simple answer.

2. A question should not have an obvious answer that nobody could debate. Example: "Should you bench press if you want to build your chest?"

3. It should be a topic that many people would be interested to learn about.

Thanks for your help!

How about recovery time for max gain?

[dread_316]

When you are training, wether it be similar or completely different muscular groups should you say something to a person with incorrect technique.

ie: using to much weight, not completing a set with proper action, or completely all over the shop

[GuysNS]

I would be especially interested in this topic. I rarely rest between sets (unless I need to catch my breath) but do alternate exercises so that I'm not working the exact same muscles in a row. I've been wondering if I should add some rests in to take my training to the next level, but I hate to waste time in the gym....it would be great to see a good discussion on the topic of rests in general.

[gemsticks]

I'm pretty new to all this and very impatient so was wondering if anyone could advise me how long until i see some results? Always helps with the motivation! Doing fat loss programme; 3 days weighs, 2 days cardio. I've got 8 weeks until I'm back to Australia, would love to be bikini ready!
