Personally, I have found that having my MBA takes precedence over my other accreditations in the business world. It has worked well for me as people always seem impressed when you have an MBA and appear to give your opinion more weight. I can truly say that I learned tons more while earning my...

That is unbelievable progress & must have taken alot of dedication! Sorry, I hope I'm not changing the topic of this thread, but how integral was the cardio to seeing such progress? An absolute must?

Okay, another lurker finally speaking up. Spatterson, I was just curious as to approximately how long it took you on that diet to go from 24% bf down to 12%?

Thanks Gymtime. As you can tell, I'm still learning.

From what I've read on here, 12 times weight seems to be the recommended caloric intake for cutting and 14-15 times weight if trying to gain mass. Hope this helps.

Upon having implants, my doctor recommended cardio after 2 weeks, lower body workouts after 3 & upper body after 6 weeks layoff. My six weeks is up next week and man am I looking forward to getting my upper body back. After six weeks, things are starting to look a little soft. BTW, I had mine...

Normal people do get implants. There are those of us that used to be reasonably endowed and due to our fitness pursuits experience a significant decline in the bustline. I don't know how others feel, but I've always felt that it is worse to have had and lost than to have never had any at all...

For what it's worth, you can pick up the cutting gel at Canadian GNCs and apparently it is the same as that found in the U.S.

Occassionally, I'll do side leg lifts for my thighs at home. If you buy some ankle weights, it increases the intensity. I do them either standing (I usually hold onto a chair for balance) or lying on my side. I hope that helps.

My two favourites are the Protein Diet Bar flavour Toasted Coconut from Optimum Nutrition and Complete Pro42Bar peanut butter chocolate chip. Both bars are fairly low in carbs.

Yes, I have read that those with thicker waists should avoid working obliques. My friend has a real boxy midsection and swears away from working obliques in order to minimize this effect. It seems to work for her.

Personally, I try not to take it after 2 pm, otherwise I cannot get to sleep. I take 4 pills first thing in the morning and 3 just after lunch. I know I'm not taking the maximum for the day, but it seems to work well for me.

I wondered if anyone knows what effect (if any) muscle relaxants ie. Robaxacet, have on muscle building and growth?

It's funny that you should post this question, as I seem to have exactly the same problem. My baby is now ten months old, I gained 28 lbs with her & have now lost all of it (I weigh 134lbs & am 5'8"), yet I cannot shed the little ponch. Anymore assistance on this subject would be great as...
