Most definitely, but you have to watch your caloric intake to avoid compromising your strength. Change your diet to maintain your energy and muscle gain but losing weight will definitely help you...
I agree, if you don't get winded by this, you should consider choosing a more uphill place to run. Also, it could just be that your adrenaline is pumping after each sprint (since it's so much fun!)....
Well you may have lateral movement problems too, like are you "goofy"? Flexibility could also be an issue, as well as running form. Running fast is not just about strength and body weight, it's about...
Losing weight is the hard part for most people, you've lost quite a bit in such a short period of time, and given that you only go to the gym about 3x a week. You may want to try to increase the...
Hmm, have you tried dehydrating? Like what those Hollywood guys do? That MIGHT help you lose the excess face stuffing, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know how to do it properly and if you're...
Based on your stats, you do need to bulk some more if your goal is to get bigger. 142 for 5'8 is very small, I think that's considered malnourished as far as BMI is concerned. That's the appropriate...
First of all, good for you! At least you got some sense to lose the excess weight at a very early age, it gets much harder when you get older. Even in your mid 20's. Keep up the good work, and I...
I guess rows would be my go to exercise. I used to admire the rowing team's backs from when I was still in university, and that exercise to me is very fun.
Very interesting. I've been eating brown rice as a healthier alternative, but found out recently that it contains phytic acid that slows down metabolism eventually. This thread has been very...
I have a couple of friends who practice MMA, and they swear by this — ballet is the best for overall flexibility. You don't have to be good at it, but learning the concepts would definitely help you...
I completely agree with this. Or if you're doing something repeatedly without purpose (work where you don't feel fulfilled). Some people like the corporate life, but if you're doing it just to "pay...
It's not that hard to learn, but it's difficult to apply when you're trying to create new songs/solos/improvising. But definitely useful, I used to look at the diminished scale as the key on how to...
While all of these are important, it's even more imperative that you have a clear idea of what kind of guitarist you want to be — especially in the beginning. Don't just learn shred stuff if you're...
So much of these injuries I got in the past, and now I know that I didn't treat some of them right. Almost all of them. Lol. I'm fine now, but I got a hyper-extended foot injury last year from...
Great insight on the importance of stretching, and I am not doubting the post and its usefulness. However, I heard from a runner friend of mine that stretching before working out is like "stretching...
This is especially important if you're taking supplements. Good job on the post, and glad you got a newfound appreciation for some H2O. Learned a few things from this post as well, like the bad...
I wouldn't say that they're not "great," it's just that beginners don't have enough information about their bodies to fully inform trainers on the most optimum routines. Similar to when you consult a...
Calisthenics is such a great suggestions, especially when you're young. Your body is still malleable enough to be flexible — and believe me when I say that flexibility exercises benefit you for the...
