  1. Building muscle while burning fat

    Its a very realistic expectation to both increase muscle mass and decrease body fat when you are a beginner with less than a year of training. You can expect to increase muscle mass while losing weight as opposed to "recomp" which is the term people use for hovering around the same weight while...

  2. getting beach body ready diet program. need a look over

    If you want to lose fat, Leangains is very popular right now and I can speak from experience when I say its the easiest weight loss program I have tried. My best results were obtained by following a few simple rules: -Only eat between the hours of 12 PM - 6 PM (18 hrs fast) -Only eat meat...

  3. Doing jump rope between my sets?

    I personally like including jump rope between sets but I would keep biceps and delts on the same day and not include jump rope on bicep/delt day. 90 seconds of jump rope at maximum speed is very exhausting but the rest while you lift allows you to recover your stamina. On another note I would...

  4. HELP!!! Calorie Intake For Fat Loss (contraversy)

    I believe the lowest you should go is your basal metabolic rate. Try beginning at 1800 and if your progress is too slow reduce it from there.

  5. cardio - few qs

    Personally I think the best cardio exercises in order are: 1. Running 2. Skipping Rope 3. Brisk Walking 4. Stair Climbing 5. Step Aerobics I think running is the best because it's useful to be able to run fast with endurance when you need to and it's easy to adjust to your desired intensity...

  6. i need help with a clean diet plan to see my abs, ive failed on my own

    Your diet looks adequate to make progress, it could be that you are being impatient. However if you want to improve your diet you can try the following suggestions. 1. Eliminate all foods besides meat, eggs, cheese, fruit, vegetables and low-carb mayonnaise/dressing. 2. Get 2 serves of fruit...

  7. Liquid diet?

    This depends on what type of protein shakes she is consuming. There are nutritionally complete meal replacement shakes that are used as part of a VLCD plan and these are relatively safe to consume. People on an all shake VLCD consume less than 800 calories a day and provided they use a well...

  8. Cutting Ab's

    Thats a pretty difficult question to answer without knowing your exact body fat percentage. Assuming your a beginner who hasn't strength trained for more than 6 months; your estimate of 20% sounds correct given the amount of lean mass you should have. The average male within the healthy...

  9. Diet advice?

    Last year I consumed 1400 calories a day and ran at 14 km/h for an hour each day on a treadmill, this totaled 1000 calories according to the machine but I suspect the machine over estimated. I lost weight at close to 3 pounds a week and lost 35 pounds and I didn't notice any significant muscle loss.

  10. My Adipose Attrition Chronicle

    You really need to do some resistance training otherwise you will lose fat free mass at a rate of 1 pound of fat free mass per 4 pounds of fat lost. This is the expectation of weight loss without resistance training in scientific literature. I understand you can't use your home gym until your...

  11. Fat burner...any suggestions?

    ECA is the most powerful and studied fat burner available without prescription. If you are doing cardio 6 days a week and taking ECA without results then your calories are too high. I am unfamiliar with the products you mentioned but I am quite certain that none of them would compare to the ECA...

  12. Diet advice?

    It seems the preferred solution on this board is: Diet with a 200-300 calorie deficit. Go a month unsure whether you have lost any weight or whether its all fluid fluctuations. Have a cheat meal once a week, after all you don't want your metabolism to crash. Go another month without losing a...

  13. Diet advice?

    The reason I recommend only one yolk a day is because of the cholesterol. One egg yolk contains half your daily allotment for cholesterol. As far as shakes are concerned it's not getting too much protein thats the problem provided you don't exceed 30% of your calories. It's just more nutritious...

  14. Diet advice?

    With a deficit of 200-300 calories a day a person would only lose half a pound of fat a week, thats far too slow.

  15. NEED SERIOUS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sourdough - I think you are too hasty in dismissing the result form the study I cited. It's true that the results apply to beginners rather than intermediate trainers but the important part to consider is the differance between the experimental and control group. The control group lost 1 pound...
