  1. Beginning A New Diet

    Smart way to go about it. I always encourage gradual changes. It's disheartening to see people rush into a diet that they can't handle and end up quitting soon after. Great example dude.
  2. Low protein and strength/size gains

    Sure, when I was consuming high amounts of protein, my urine had a unique scent.
  3. Low protein and strength/size gains

    Thanks for sharing the info. I definitely agree that one gram per pound of bodyweight is not necessary for results. To me, it seems like somewhere between 0.6 and 0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight is a good place to shoot for. It seems like when I'm getting 1 gram or more, my body just gets rid...
  4. New low carb study

    I think it may have something to do with body type as well. I understand that a lot of people see results with low carb diets, but personally my body doesn't handle it well. I feel best on about a 55/30/15. But I definitely hate to hear all of the hate against eating meat because it has...
  5. Adding pre-workout in worth it?

    If it helps you focus, and it doesn't have any nasty side effects, then I say it's worth it. Focus is one of the biggest problems that we all face in the gym.
  6. Nutrition with only Veg Diet

    Good point. I definitely don't think that it's ideal. Although, there is an internet fitness guy, Mike Mahler that seems to do pretty well on a vegan diet.
  7. HIT training

    If it works then do it. I've seen results from high intensity and I've seen results from other programs.
  8. Bulking with limits/stomach problems

    You also may be eating to much protein. Try reducing to 0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight.
  9. Nutrition with only Veg Diet

    I think so too. There are surprisingly quite a few great sources of vegetable protein: Lentils, Quinoa, Peas, and the list goes on.
  10. intro

    It depends on what you've been doing for the last 3 months. How active have you been? Probably best to start with a 3 day full body resistance training workout and 3 days of steady state cardio. After a month of that, incorporate high intensity cardio into two of those days. For more ideas, heck...
  11. Need some guidance.

    HIIT More sleep, and getting a healthy balance of macros is key. Also do High Intensity Interval Training workouts like Hill Sprints or the cardio workout that I recently put on my youtube channel. Low intensity cardio after your weight training for 15 minutes can be helpful as well. Also make...
  12. Article: Is Bodybuilding Functional?

    You guys all make some great points. I think a lot of people hear rumors and don't realize that most of the problems in bodybuilding is caused by overuse of machines. Lifting weights is lifting weights. I love the car lifting example. It's just like how in Pumping Iron, Franco Columbo dead lifts...
  13. Inguinal Hernia surgery - recovery advice?

    keep it up Looks like you've got a good plan, and it's been working out for ya. I would definitely take it slow, and when you finally do decide to use heavier weights use several warmup sets with progressively heavier weights.
  14. Bomb Burritos and Pizza.... good or bad?

    It also depends on your individual metabolism, and body fat goals. Also if you choose pizza instead of vegetables and meat too much you may get sick or at least sick to your stomach. Which can interfere with workouts.
  15. hello everyone newbie here with a brain like a sponge

    As far as the diet goes, where's the fat?
  16. Help

    Yeah if that doesn't work then you may be slightly allergic to something you're eating.
  17. Need Serious Advice.....

    overtraining could it be that what that workout has outlined may just be a little too much volume? If I looked at the right one it says in weeks 3-5 you work arms three days a week, and you're doing about 12 sets for biceps and triceps each day! That's a lot. I don't think you have to cut out...
  18. Am i eating like a lil' bitch?

    yeah Easy's definitely on the money with that one. Almonds have so many health benefits it's crazy, and they have a high "good" fat content that helps you add calories. Coconut is similar but does have some saturated fat so be careful. I wouldn't worry though since you workout, you have a...
  19. need advice please

    yeah, i think that sounds like the right idea. How long has it been since you've changed your workout? You might want to. For example, you could even just switch your cardio from 30 minutes to 15 minutes of interval training. Also with the diet make sure you throw in some more healthy fats from...
  20. staying motivated

    Exactly, bodyweight exercises are awesome, and they can be progressive. One month you can work on getting high reps for your basic exercises like pushups and squats, and then the next month you can switch to more difficult exercises like one arm pushups. If you're not ready for one pushups try...
