keep up the good work guys! you are both killin it. if you don't already, compliment the wifey. it just helps with self esteem and makes them wanna keep going. my wife loves hearing compliments and thats what she told me.
We run twice a week. Typically a 2 mile and a 3. Last year I trained for a half marathon for months and now running will always be a small portion of what I do. That training dropped my resting heart rate from the mid 50's to 47 bpm. Sometimes it gets as low as 43. My trainer gets a kick out of my walking around his room and still sits around 56-57. I credit that to the running. I'll keep it under control and keep lifting. Thanks for the advice!!Not a huge fan of running for body shaping purposes but if you do then yah 3 miles is about right and should not be that catabolic. Remember if you want very low body fat too much cardio can be your worst enemy. I cut all cardio except for my walking to and from work when I cut and control everything through diet. Extra cardio is something I use off season to prevent things from getting out of control when my eating is not as clean. You may already know all this, I just wanted add my .02 cents.
It's probably cuz I see tons of runners on the path to work and back and almost none of them have what I would call good physiques. I know that most don't know any better and some just like to run and that's cool too. Not everybody is trying to look different. I often wonder though is they knew would they still be running. Like I said 3 miles done quickly is probably fine.
Will do sir! She already thinks I'm cheesy so we'll see how mushy I can be.keep up the good work guys! you are both killin it. if you don't already, compliment the wifey. it just helps with self esteem and makes them wanna keep going. my wife loves hearing compliments and thats what she told me.
my wife told me the same thing..i didn't believe her, so I never didmy wife loves hearing compliments and thats what she told me.
Yah nothing wrong with shorter runs. Sprints are good too.We run twice a week. Typically a 2 mile and a 3.

This^^^ and how your clothes are fitting. I'm a totally different 185 than I was 4 months ago. Weight's just a number, for the most part.Welcome to AM! You and your husband are doing something really cool! More couples should be as motivated as you two! Dont pay too much attention to the scale for the first couple of months, base your success on how you look in the mirror and your energy levels! Good luck!
Don't forget the run this morning! It was only about a mile. It was so hard to get out of bed that early when you don't have to! But our dog enjoyed it.06.29.2013No training yesterday but we took our PX Black and she had T2 also. We ate good and rested up for today. This morning again we had our supplements and I went down to Golds by myself while my wife headed off to work. We are training later this evening when she gets home so I'll be getting a double dose today. Before Supps:1 serving of Unleashed.5 serving of Hemavol1g Taurine10g BCAA / IntraI could only put down half of my PWO drink today for some reason I just wasn't in the mood for it.After Supps:1.5 serving of Iso-plogy10g GlutamineTraining:Today went kind of weird. Was feeling off and did a long warmup of various exercises. Body weight squats, curls, dips, pushups and some other various core work. Then it turned into an actual circuit workout. 45 mins later after I finally woke up and got motivated to begin what I had actually planned to do. Legs! There was a man and his wife on the Leg Press I like to use so I used another machine I don't care for to much but it gets the job done. Homey next to me and his wife were going after personal records and he was grunt'n and huff'n and puff'n and didn't give a DAYUM who starred at him. A few rounds into it he tapped me on my shoulder to catch a glimpse of the guy standing on the bench doing upright rows in sunglasses and loafers. Yes he had on dress shoes and sunglasses in the gym standing on the damn bench press bench doing rows!!!10x6 Leg Press20x1 Leg Press10x1 Leg Press (Could not get 20 on this round, legs were done!)
LOLI just wanted to put this out there because I was at one time an avid consumer of the ultra lean ground beef but after this little thread I went back to the cheep stuff. I know its not super scientific but it was interesting none the less.

I wasnt saying they were equal to start and buying extra lean is by far the best way to go, and sirloin tastes better. But if you cook, drain, rinse and re cook you can eliminate most of the fat that was in the original package. It will still be present and probably still wont be equal to most extra lean ground beef in fat content but it will be close. especial if your breaking it up into small pieces for spaghetti with meat sauce.LOL
well actually, that is a great example of exactly why I do not pay attention to most "scientific" studies:
flawed parameters..it's like those mind-twisters with #s, that seem impossible mathematically but is really in the play on words in which it was presented to you; alto, in all fairness, science would point out the flaws in this beef/fat "logic" that is presented pretty damn well
not interesting to me (except for it's ridiculousness), and if you think there is no/very little difference well more power to you but there IS indeed quite a laI wasnt saying they were equil to start and buying extra lean is by far the best way to go, and serloin tastes better. But if you cook, drain, rinse and re cook you can eliminate most of the fat that was in the orignial package. It will still be present and probably still wont be equil to most estra lean ground beef in fat contant but it will be close. especiall if your breaking it up into small pieces for spagettie with meat sause.
rge substantial difference in fat content..you cannot "cook" or drain all the fat or an "extra" amount of fat out of the meat to begin with, beyond a certain extent (ie cooking on foreman grill as opposed to in it's own fat/juices from pan stovetop)..the flaws start very early in this one

If you are training fasted, without any bcaa while doing so, then yes this could be detrimental to Muscle mass that you have acquired. Keep an eye on your weight and if it starts dropping too fast then up the calories some or back off of the cardio a bit. Being overly active can in fact be detrimental to your physique if your diet isn't sufficient for your activity level.Hubby is smoking some chicken and turkey with new smoker I got him for his birthday. He's a wonderful chef. I hardly have to cook! LOVE IT!
Soccer game was rough. No breaks and it's about 116 degrees in phoenix today. The sports complex doesn't have A/C, only swamp coolers. I was sweating!!!! It was fun, though! I love getting rough with the girls and guys out there. It's funny how the guys are so apologetic when they run into me! I barely notice - guy or girl. Just keep playing. I feel the pain after. I always come away with some bruises. Once the adrenaline wears off, I start feeling all the places I got hit.
Personally, I don't care too much for the lifting part of it. I do it b/c I know it's good for me. I keep telling myself, this is what will make me faster and less likely to get hurt. Soccer motivates me.
I do have a question though... I've read several times throughout this site that too much cardio can have a negative affect when trying to cut body fat and on body "sculpting". My games are 40 minutes total w/ a short break at half time. Am I counter-productive when playing for 40 minutes with intermittent sprinting? I also feel the need to run 2-3 times/week for 2-3 miles. Is this harmful?
I laffedmy husband forces pre & post workout drinks on me!
Take only half the packet of G8 ur first time. Half a dose is most peoples sweet spot (my own too)<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=84028"/>
Picked this up off Nutraplanet and it arrived a few days back. The promotional price made it hard to pass up. I've tried a couple different natural test boosters in the past such as D-Pol and Blue something or another from Controlled Labs. They all helped a bit so I figured I could give this one a try. I don't plan to use it right away though, maybe in a month or two. The G8 will probably get used right away and the thermo's will probably be given away to a friend or co-worker. When I give them a try I will post some results, but for now I'll stick to what I'm doing.
1/4 scoop is about all I can handle. Otherwise there's no such thing as an alarm clock.Take only half the packet of G8 ur first time. Half a dose is most peoples sweet spot (my own too)
