    The Official Smoothie Recipe Thread

    How low are you trying to go? The most basic smoothie recipe is only like 30g (using a banana as the only fruit) so I'm not sure how much lower you can really make them. You can do half a banana and keep it around 15g of carbs. Takes away some of the flavor/consistency though.

    Pistol gets shredded 2015

    Yeah that's a good way of doing it too and what sort of what I plan on doing once I finish this cut. Gonna do all of the 5/3/1 strength stuff as normal with the barbell, but use totally different exercises for the volume work (like incline DB press instead of flat BB bench for 5x10 so I'm...

    It's perfect for when you're craving sweets. It literally tastes like a chocolate shake with a hint of cherries or mint depending on which one you do. Doesn't even feel healthy, but it is. I always do 2 scoops of protein, so with the almond butter it comes to about 55-60g protein. Roughly...

    Pistol gets shredded 2015

    Do you like doing the 5x10 sets of an exercise on the same day as you do the strength work (the 5/3/1 part) for that same exercise? When I was running 5/3/1, I did the variation where whatever I did for my strength work, I would do something else for the 5x10 work. I felt if I were hitting...

    Body building and marijuana

    Yeah true - guess it depends what kind you buy. Unfortunately buying from the local drug dealer just ensures you're getting "the best **** they have ever had" (and ironically the same thing is said the next time, the one after, and so on) :P

    Body building and marijuana

    I used to do the same thing - workout, shower, eat, then smoke and play video games. Every night. It was a lot of fun, especially because I'm one of those people when I smoke, my video game skills are on a whole 'nother level and I'd kick ass in Halo all night. I initially stopped smoking...

    Body building and marijuana

    There was actually an article written on T-Nation that talks exactly about this topic. Check it out: t-nation.com/training/lifters-guide-to-marijuana (won't let me post links for some reason so just copy/paste it)

    Who's cutting and how's it going?

    The body fat calculators on scales can be wildly inaccurate, which is probably skewing your numbers. The first thing I'd recommend is stop weighing and measuring yourself every single day, or even every week for that matter, as it's so short a time to really see changes and you will just drive...

    Try Trader Joes or Whole Foods. You can find some for like $7 a jar or so.

    Do it. Almond butter + cacao in a smoothie is the cat's pajamas. Stevia adds some nice sweetness too without any extra calories. A really basic, easy one is almond milk, almond butter, 1 banana, some ice, 1-2 tablespoons cacao, spinach, stevia and 1-2 scoops protein.

    How to use Target A2 to maximize fat loss

    Fasted training should be done 100% fasted if you want to get the effects of it. Yes, both BCAAs and coconut oil would negate the effects of the Target A2. Yohimbine is most effective when insulin levels are low. Even a slight increase in insulin from my understanding will blunt the effects of...

    Who's cutting and how's it going?

    Yeah fats can sneak up on you if you're not careful, especially with oils. I use just enough olive oil to make my food not stick to the pan, and then if I need more moisture, I'll add some water while it's cooking and that does the trick without needing to resort to more oil.

    Who's cutting and how's it going?

    Out of the weight room? More like an excuse to do more squats.

    Who's cutting and how's it going?

    Lookin solid man. Instead of me writing out a long response, I think these 3 posts by Lyle McDonald set up a really good diet that isn't too crazy or hard to stick to. This is basically what I'm doing: Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed tl;dr: 1. Find...

    It's really good isn't it? The chocolate/cherry combo is perfect. If you like mint chocolate try the mint variation I posted below that one (basically substitute cherries for 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract). There's several other variations I've played with too like frozen pineapple in place...

    How low in carbs are you trying to go? A simple one that's always good is milk/almond milk, a banana, some nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew, etc.), spinach, and protein powder. Only about 25g of carbs or so depending on the size of the banana.

    Who's cutting and how's it going?

    I gotcha. Then yeah just try a diet break for 10-14 days and see if you feel better. May be just what you need and then you can continue the diet as planned while not feeling like crap.

    Pistol gets shredded 2015

    5/3/1 is my favorite program so far as well. I made some really good gains on it last time I ran it. Gonna go back to it after my current cut but I'm gonna put my own twist on it for more of a strength/bodybuilding approach. Btw, you're far from "fat" haha. But yeah definitely try to track...

    What is the best Fat Burner out now?

    ^^ This. Also add in some EGCG (green tea extract) and L-Tyrosine. You can get all of the above for way cheaper than most of the current "fat burners" on the market. Caffeine is like $4 for 90 pills and all the others are under $10 a piece too I think for around 90-120 pills. Not saying some...
