To the gal who got it done... how much weight did you lose from it? Just curious.

This thread from the muscle food forum has a recipe in it... I haven't tried it, but it looks like it might be worthwhile: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=451400

I've always done 2 sets per bodypart all the way through the program (15's, 10's and 5's). Not sure where you saw 3x5, but I'm interested to hear more about it. The routine looks ok to me, just the number of sets seems different.

You work up to it. Let's say your 15RM for a particular lift is 135 lbs. Your workout would look like this: Monday - 85 lbs Wednesday - 95 lbs Friday - 105lbs Monday2 - 115 lbs Wednesday2 - 125 lbs Friday2 - 135 lbs (15RM) You increase the weights each workout until you hit your 15 rep max...

I think most everything has been covered so far, but I'll just throw in a couple of points (even though I'm no expert): Sprinting (or even running at like 80%) may not seem like a big deal, but it's tough. Over the past couple of weeks I've been doing HIIT with 30 second sprints and 30 second...

Squatting and deadlifting on the same day may be easy at sub-max levels, but once you start getting towards your X-RM, I have a feeling it's going to take a toll on your back. Personally, I alternate squats and deadlifts (actually, this is my first time trying it... seems to be working well)...

I noticed the same thing when I went from doing HIIT on the treadmill to doing it outside. I've been doing HIIT on the treadmill off and on for the past month or so... Can make it through a 20-25 minute program (5 min warmup, then 1 min sprint, 1 min recovery cycles) without too many...

40% Protein 30% Carb 30% Fat Breakfast was 2 whole grain waffles, 1 tbsp ANPB and 1/2 c raspberries (lacking on the protein, I know). Worked out this morning before work... first day of 10's so it wasn't too bad. Followed that up with 20 mins on the recumbent bike (@ 65% Max HR). PWO shake...

Thanks for the responses... it's not a PWO shake, just more of a mid-morning snack shake. It fits within the 40/30/30 framework plus it's got about 300 calories so that fits within my goal of 6 meals/day @ ~300 cals each. As far as mixing carbs/fat... I had done some reading on that (and...

It tasted awesome, though it did need a bit more ANPB :)

I started reading the first few pages (no way I'm making it through all 48!) and figured I'd jump on board with this whole weight loss thing. Not sure how often I'll be posting here and updating, but I'll give it a go. Age: 27 Height: 5'11" Weight: 182ish BF: Probably 14%ish The workouts are...

1/2 c. milk (1%) 1/2 c. lowfat vanilla yogurt 1 sc. ON 100% Whey Protein 1 tbsp ANPB 1/2 c. raspberries The macro profile is something like: 42% protein 32% carbs 26% fat calories: 330 I figure the problem areas might be the sugar in the yogurt and milk, but I think the yogurt has maybe 4g of...

How do the two compare, with regards to taste? I tried muscle milk for the first time this past weekend and it was pretty incredible, though a bit high in calories... I'm just wondering if their EVOPro (which claims to be muscle milk minus the MCT's) tastes as good or if it drops off a bit...

I have a rice cooker. It's pretty handy, but the best part is that it has a vegetable steamer tray... I use the thing for veggies 5x more than I use it for rice. I have this guy...
