Note that this is something that would clearly be very dangerous in terms of dehydration risks anyway, but this question is out of curiosity.

When it comes to losing water weight - whether that be...

I'm not really sure if I can put it any more clearly than that, but - from what I've read, the modern strength training routines like Starting Strength/Rippetoe focus on high weight and low reps like...

Thanks guys. So basically, low weight/high reps=increase in size, but if you want to increase your strength without adding mass you use high weight/lower reps?

I had thought that when it comes to...

What happens physiologically to your muscles when someone increases their functional strength, e.g. increasing their max on a lift or press, but does not increase their weight? What makes the muscles...

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean - what's a spinning bike?

Just want something simple to assemble - pretty self-explanatory :)

Doesn't need to last long at all actually - I'd probably be...

I'm looking to buy a cheap exercise bike that's simple and quick to assemble. It doesn't need to have advanced features or anything. The main things other than price and easy assembly that I'd prefer...

Do those liquid egg white (e.g. gallon of egg whites) and egg white powder products solidify if you microwave them after mixing? In the way that real egg whites solidify after cooking.

Holy crap, jackpot...thanks! :D

I have some lean ground turkey which is basically pure protein - 28g protein, 1g fat, 0g cards. I cook it in the oven for half an hour but don't know what to marinade it with. Currently I'm just...

Thanks. That's very odd that it says you burn 6 calories per pound of muscle, because the Katch-McArdle formula implies you burn about 21.6 calories per extra kg of lean body mass, which would imply...

Seems like a lot of differering thoughts on this one, in terms whether fat is directly metabolically active. Don't really know what to think at this point :)

The Harris-Benedict and Mifflin-St. Jeor equations use body mass to estimate basal metabolic rate. The Katch-McArdle uses only lean body mass.

I think that fat mass doesn't directly burn calories,...

Thanks - I had no idea it was a macronutrient. Are protein/fat/carbs/alcohol the only macronutrients?

Extra calories through alcohol not leading to weight gain certainly sounds suspicious - I'm...

I was looking at nutrition info at various sites for drinks like vodka, gin, Everclear. I was surprised to see that they are listed as containing 0 grams of carbs/protein/fat. I would've thought...

Yes when it comes to comparison I do use weights from the same time, but I'd like to know which is better in terms of accuracy for fitness type calculations - if there's a medical standard or such.

My weight fluctuates a ton between right after waking up, and right before going to bed - 12-15 pounds. Almost all water weight.

Which weight should I use when it comes to fitness calculations -...

Interesting, thanks. I was able to find and read the original study

I understand their method of extrapolating via regression, but I still do...

The first article is actually where I initially saw the 170% number, but that article doesn't go into the details of this "170% of VO2Max" notion, and the second doesn't cover any % of VO2Max math.

Anyone have a notion of how 170% of VO2Max is possible?

What I meant was with everything equal, where EPOC would be categorized under burning the same level of 500 calories. Would the results be the same in terms of what % of those calories was from fat.
