You are one of the lucky ones who don't have to worry about losing weight. It would seem trying to gain weight is easier; at least it's more fun because you don't have to restrict your diet as much....

I swear by joint supplements. Haven't had any issues after I started taking them in my early 30s. I suffered a year of chronic knee tendonitis playing basketball, so I finally tried Glucosamine with...

For a teen, I would recommend doing mainly body weight exercises such as push ups and pull/chin ups. It seems lifting heavy weights could alter any growth (in height) potential. For legs however, I...

You are the same height as me and I started at around 155 lbs. What I look like now is after a 20 lb drop of mostly fat. You look like you have enough muscle, so I'd say start cutting. Just go on a...

Agreed. It's all about the calories. Freddietann, your problem seems to be during your cut you didn't focus on the weights hard enough so you might have lost a lot of muscle which means your bodyfat...

You can easily tell the difference with fat and muscle. Just pinch your skin in various areas and see how much you end up grabbing. I would say based on your pic, you do have some fat to lose. But...

The idea with (good) carbs is to use them to fuel your workout while with protein, you use it to build/rebuild muscle after your workout is long over. Protein is not a good source of fuel for your...

Just because they're guys don't mean they know what they're talking about. Most guys don't know much about proper lifting, and know way less about proper nutrition. Whey protein will help you get the...

I hope you didn't believe this person. :)

Yeah you might be right about that, but I would still caution on losing the weight too fast to avoid issues like saggy skin. Just my own opinion though.

I would agree with PepPete's post in regards to this:

"All you need to follow this 3 rules from the sticky

- Workout 3 times a week with weights.
- Eat 1g protein / lb lean body mass.
-...

I always recommend to people to get their bodyfat percent measured as a starting point. If you gained weight, but your bodyfat percent remained the same, that's actually progress because it means you...

Yes, let's avoid any battles with all the controversies of white versus wheat bread, or bad carbs vs good carbs or whatever it is that's on your mind. That is a whole can of worms in itself.

As...

If it's whole wheat bread they're using and real meat (not processed), I see no reason why you can't have 2-4 sandwiches a day. I'd probably hold on the cheese and mayo (substitute for avocados if...

Her strategy probably works well for someone that's young, but as you get older it won't be easy to simply drop the weight.

It's funny how it seems everyone thinks they know what's best for them....

Well, I don't use any of the cardio equipment when I'm at the gym. I only play basketball for my cardio, so I would say it's more like HIIT. I'm sure I burn way more calories than SS cardio, that's...

Personally I don't believe in exercise timing. I think the magazines really screw people up by making meal timing and exercise timing seem so critical. If cardio fits better for you in the middle of...

Thanks a lot man! Yeah, you bring up a good point. Everyone should be able to clear up some time for exercise. There should be no excuses. If you really want it, you will make time.

I'm not gonna lie, it's definitely going to take a lot of discipline and work, but it IS possible to achieve what you want if you really desire it. I have 2 kids and a 40 hour a week job. I handle...

In my humble opinion EVERYONE needs to include some form of resistance training in their lives. It has nothing to do with aspiring to be a bodybuilder or competitor of some sort. It all has to do...
