  1. Check my diet please.

    Hello, Age: 35 Height: 5'9" SW: 176 CW: 158 GW: 153ish Body fat was 17-18% at 163 I assume sedentary life style for calculating maintenance calories just to make it a bit tougher for weight loss. Assume goal of about 1600 calories/day for 500 calorie deficit to lose weight. Diet: AM: 1...

  2. What do I do now? Keep cutting?

    Thanks Owlicks. Great summarized article. Without question, need to work on a more structured workout plan, and MUST be better with form! Questions: (for anyone please) 1. Always confused about the weekly split. Some advised to not group back and bi's or chest and tri's, because you are...

  3. What do I do now? Keep cutting?

    Hello all, Age: 35 Sw back in September about 176 CW 158 Height: 5'9" Target Weight: Not sure, but maybe 153 body fat % was about 17% measured at 24 hour fitness when I weighed about 162. I'm happy that I have made good progress on weight loss and decrease in body fat % (I believe I was about...

  4. Sources for creating own Diet Stack

    Hello, Looking for "quality" but reasonable priced sources for following: 1. EGCG 2. Caffeine 3. Carnitine 4. CLA Not really into any of the other types of fat burners. Just looking to make a stack of above. Could someone put something together of the above and from which companies? Thanks

  5. Differences in Elliptical training

    tough call. My problem is I have flat feet. The right ankle does get a bit more aggravated with jogging, although I could try jogging instead on the treadmill. So far, elliptical causes no problems. I do have orthotics, and I also have excellent shoes to reduce pronation (Asics beasts)

  6. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    No. I would say I eat a rather large dinner at about 7pm sometimes 8pm. I usually go to bed at about 11pm. Since its not immediate before sleeping. The only exception would be if I work out late and get home at 11pm, I will have at least a O.N whey shake and maybe a 1/2 banana, and then go...

  7. Awkward bicep discomfort

    Path I am taking: I am not doing any upper body until I am confident there is no discomfort, and then will start light. I was still in the middle of cutting anyway, so will just have to focus on cardio and leg workouts. I feel that even tricep or shoulder exercises still cause bicep...

  8. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    Carbs at night? Well, due to the nature of my work, I often have to eat dinner at about 6-8pm. Any particular supplements that could help with this carb issue? I keep coming back to considering lipotropin PM. Good? Anything else to help with the carbs at night?

  9. Differences in Elliptical training

    At my 24 hour fitness they appear to have two different elliptical trainers. One unit: There isn't the motor behind it, and when you pedal, your heel comes up like you are stepping. You can change the resistance. Second unit: It looks like you take a longer stride and the machine pedal...

  10. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    Thanks for breakdown. So, you are actually suggesting that I shoot for maintenance caloric intake in the beginning. So, if I have been burning 500-600 calories with cardio 4-5 days a week, regardless fo what I burn, I got to at least take in maintenance? No more calorie deficit. But, also no...

  11. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    Thanks. I wasn't even trying for a typical 6 pack. I wanted to at least get belly flat to feel good before doing a clean bulk. At about 158 now, 5'9" and I think I am close. I was measured at a 24 hour gym as being about 16-17% body fat at 163. So, I figure, got to be about 15% now. I...

  12. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    I really like that breakdown. Thank you It seems you could almost pick any daytime supplement to help out. Would a product like lipotropin-PM be suitable for evening, or are there any other non-stims before for evening use?

  13. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    A bit confused, since my thread was a bit hijacked by all this red meat nonsense. I continue to maintain about a 500 calorie deficit daily by simply exercising almost daily and eating right. If that is the case, what does a diet supplement actually achieve? Is it simply burning calories...

  14. First Cut...

    Too be honest...I like the counting. I started a cut, for my first time a few months ago. Tons of help on this site. It really helped me to understand what I was eating, what calories it was worth and to keep me on track. I am 5'9" age 35 Started at 176 and currently about 159-160. Shooting...

  15. Help with supplements?

    Looking for a new weight loss supplement, but concerned about some of the newer warnings and side-effects. I was looking at Oxyelite pro, but when you start hearing more and more about the DMAA, getting banned in Canada, it just doesn't seem worth it. I was considering maybe a mini stack for...

  16. Awkward bicep discomfort

    Agreed. Unfortunately, I had to stop everything, other than leg workouts and cardio. Even when I do a chest/tri workout, it does certainly cause some bicep contraction, which I am trying to avoid. It's not bad, kind of a subtle discomfort when contracting the bicep, but would rather just get...

  17. Awkward bicep discomfort

    Hello, For about 2 weeks now, i have this slight pain in the right biceps only. If I extend my arm out, no problem If I flex without muscle contraction, no problem If I flex while making a muscle, its a subtle discomfort that feels kind of deep in the biceps and in the more distal part (closer...

  18. Eating more often?

    Hello, A few people have recommended to eat more often as one component to help lose weight. But, what type of meal constitutes a good enough meal to help keep up the metabolism? I certainly don't want to simply eat more food just to eat more often. For example: If I had 1 whole egg with a...

  19. Is there any way to target belly fat?

    A little confused. So, how do I know. I believe at about 163 is when my body fat measured at 16-17%. Now, I am about 159-160. I get the impression that I should continue to drop to about 155? So, keep up the cardio for now or is the a higher concern for the increased cortisol? I didn't...

  20. Any way to target getting rid of belly fat a little better?

    Thank you both. I'll also take a look at the article. Yes, I am still losing weight and still shooting for about 1 pound to maybe 1.5 pounds/week loss. I am not even necessarily shooting for the "cut" look, but I think that was very helpful what you said about the comfort level at 12-13%. I...
