I'm with you Granby, I'll be eating until I either I can't eat anymore, or there's nothing left. By the way, that's not Granby, CT you're referring to in your name is it?

It has been shown in a couple of studies that intense stretching, which in this case was one muscle group for 30+minutes, did reduce, force output. If you're not going to be intensely stretching a muscle for 30 minutes, I wouldn't worry too much.

I don't know if this will help bud, but.... I'm a kinesiology/exercise science major, with a specialization in strength and conditioning. I also have secured minors in sports nutrition and psychology. At this point, I would say that there is no great major in college if you're interested in...

I don't know how strict you all are about your carbs and sodium, but there are still lots of preservatives in the dogs, and a good amount of sugar. If you're watching your carb intake pretty closely, you might want to be careful. Not to rain on anybody's parade or anything...

Why carb load on the Atkin's Diet? By doing so, you're only limiting your supposed fat mobilizing/lipolysis days. Your body will take a couple of days to get back into ketosis after a carb up day. If you are having one of these every week, it seems like you're in a way defeating the purpose...

I agree here. I'm no expert either, but if you were lifting heavy and eating a lot of protein without enough roughage (fiber), you could be a candidate for the hemorrhoids. Hopefully, that's all it is because that can clear up on its own. Good luck to you bud.

if anybody else wants to give it a try... for less excess kcals, use one packet of fat free/no sugar added pudding mix with 4-5 scoops of protein powder, using an electric mixture with only a little bit of water (maybe less than a half cup? i usually start off with as little as possible and add...

I agree with Diz on this one. For those of you that can eat clean year round and manage to stay lean in all the while you're trying to bulk, more power to you. But for me, the summer time is a pain...watching what I'm eating all the time, turning down offers to eat out, and especially doing...

Well, I only read the first third of the article, but I can tell you right from the start, the paper is mistaken in calling the Atkin's Diet a "High Protein Diet." Although many people following the diet often increase their portein intake due to the types of foods they are eating, the diet is...

like bpdaddy said...it's up to you dude. right now, mid spring, i'm training abs one day, obliques the next, back and forth. i only spend a few minutes at the end of my workout doing one or the other. i have about 3 different routines that i rotate between for abs, and probably 2 for...

Hey dude. My buddies and I were in SOBE a couple of springs ago for break. You shouldn't have much trouble with the id's. Especially if you get there a little earlier. Try and get there before 1 or so. They do get a little tougher later on. Early, it's no problem because they're trying to...

I can't really help you bud, but I'll give you a bump. It's tough being tall, especially when it's time to find nice pants.

Dude, go with the calipers. They are more reliable, especially when you consider that the better the BF scale, the higher the cost. I believe, most of the scales use some sort of electrical impedence. It's not a bad measure, but that's not the best format for it. Plus, like you mentioned...

I was just wondering, do any of you all wear glasses just to change up your look? Personally, my vision is just fine, but I still have a pair of clear lense glasses to wear. I mostly use them for times when I want to come off looking older and more professional, and sometimes when I am going...

Hey bud. Like Strider said, your best bet is to increase recovery time between workouts. Your workouts should still be intense but you might want to back off the volume a little bit while your body is in hormonal flux so that you're not losing much of your gains while at the same time not...
