It's that time of the year... Let's get SCARY STRONG! + Free Suppzzzzz

Anyone take cheese wheels with them for a quick snack? I prefer an occasional cheddar wheel instead of nuts sometimes and even prefer them when taking my vitamins in the morning. Just helps things settle when in a rush

yea i do it all the time brah. more companies are coming out with snack size cheeses. the babybel is of course the most popular, but bel gioso has little mozzarella balls, chevre something or other now has goat cheese singles i found, and my personal favorite old croc now had their extra sharp cheddar in little single serving blocks. old croc is a GREAT cheese. it's australian and similar to a good irish cheddar.
 
Thanks a ton for the opportunity to jump into the discussion you guys! I'm loving the feedback regarding... A couple folks chimed in on the subjects above... Periodization and Adaptive application (heavy carry work for cardio). How many of you consider utilizing or wonder how to utilize these techniques to better your sport or lifestyle?
 
Benefit of HIIT:
The amount of oxygen your body can use (oxygen uptake) is increased, so your overall aerobic capacity can increase faster than with low intensity endurance exercise & Your ability to handle increased lactic acid buildup in your muscles increases
 
Dietary fat in the presence of large amounts of dietary carbohydrates can make it difficult to access fat for energy, while dietary fat in the presence of low levels of dietary carbohydrates makes it easier to access fat for energy

Dude... You've personally pushed me outside my comfort zone with some of periodized conditioning tactics.

We should share some of your workouts here.
 
I love peanut butter, eggs, avocados and coconut oil.

I especially love coconut oil in my oatmeal. One of the things I love the most about fats is that they seem to help me feel full longer than even just protein does. That can be especially good during a cut, when you lower your carbs to lower overall caloric intake.

Honestly had never even crossed my mind to add coconut oil to oatmeal, gotta try that!... sometimes will make a banana bread that has oatmeal and choc chips in it and will use coconut oil instead of butter, amazing flavor...

Im a big fan of sargentos stick cheddar or land o lakes individual squares. Both are great for a quick on the go snack.

A lot of people like adding coconut oil to rice. Just blends it all together very nice, and minimal digestion problems for an easy pre-workout meal

Id be willing to see some of this. I incorporate some but as always it could be done more frequently and more appropriately in sure.
 
that sounds amazing. the peanut butter co. makes some good peanut butters, my personal favorite is 'cinnamon raisin swirl', they also have one with white chocolate, one with dark chocolate, and one with honey already in it though i think local honey added to their regular stuff would have more benefits for your immune system.

it won't let me rep you anymore brah

PB Crave makes some very good flavors

I was a little disappointed with the PB Crave Cocobananas flavor. It was good, but not as good as I hoped. I'm hooked on the PB&Co dark chocolate but the cinnamon raisin and pb&honey are very good, too. The spicy pb is a nice change, but the jar will probably last me a long time.

make your own PB, cheaper and you can customize is anyway you want.
Food Processor + Roasted Peanuts, let it go for 10 minutes and done. want honey? Add honey, want chocolate add chocolate, want dried fruits like banana's? add them. Customize and much cheaper than buying in stores or online.
 
Two major benefits of HIIT:
Increased Lactate Threshold – Your ability to handle increased lactic acid buildup in your muscles increases
Improved Insulin Sensitivity – Your muscles more readily suck in glucose, instead of the glucose going to your fat stores

HIIT workouts tend to burn more calories than traditional workouts, especially after the workout. The post-exercise
period is called “EPOC”, which stands for excess postexercise oxygen consumption. This is generally about a 2-hour period after an exercise bout where the body is restoring itself to pre-exercise levels, and thus using more energy. Because of the vigorous contractile nature of HIIT workouts, the EPOC generally tends to be modestly greater, adding about 6 to 15% more calories to the overall workout energy expenditure.

To add to this, I just read post-HIIT that almost all of energy for EPOC is derived from fat.
 
Another positive of HIIT is you don't need any equipment and only minimal space like one of my favorites - mountain climbers.
 
Traditional cardio tends to be more catabolic. This is the opposite for HIIT. With HIIT, your body is more likely to hold on to muscle to help with the shorter, powerful, intense efforts.
 
I prefer a stationary bike to do HIIT. My old joints can't take a lot of running, especially with my heel spur :(

Sucks :(

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope I never develop a peanut allergy! My son and I go through more than 5 lbs a month :dance:

As far as I know im only allergic to 2 things Peanut Butter and Watermelon.... 2 things I really really enjoy but not enough to have to go through the type of reaction I get from eating them.

There are some of those battle ropes in my gym. I need to give them a try sometime.

Love battle ropes, was using those 3-4x's a week until my gym went and hid them somewhere.. Or just put them away until a class was using them :/

How do you do HIIT on the bike? 1 min really fast, 2min slow?
Click to expand...

I like different sprint intervals but nothing more than a 1:1 or 1:1-1.5 work:rest ratio. 1:2 is too much recovery IMO but it's not something everyone just starts at
 
The Solution said:
15 seconds all out
45 sec cool down

If you are truly sprinting for 15 seconds on full resistance it will hurt

Most don't go all out. How many true Olympic sprinters do you see sprint for a minute? Not many

I was asking him how he does HIIT on the bike not on the track running.

Thats how i do it on the bike too
Do you have a wingate or a spin bike by chance?
Continue to increase the resistance until its maxed out then start your interval. Going 15 seconds when at full resistance and ALL OUT effort will have you wasted in 5-7 intervals if you are not built up for endurance

i would never do intervals on a treadmill takes forever to adjust speed.
 
evidence suggests that HIIT can actually help to suppress your appetite. One study conducted by the University of Western Australia concluded that ghrelin (the hunger-stimulating hormone) was suppressed in subjects who participated in HIIT, and therefore decreased their appetite for a period of time after exercising.
