My instructor said to do the full body routine no more than twice a week (otherwise it would impact on my martial arts practices). He also said to superset all 3 sets.

mass and strength != strength and endurance A lot of this depends on how much time you have to spend in the gym and how often you do MAs as well as which MA. I practice Pankration(2 days), Judo (2 days as of Sept) and Kickboxing. I used to do it 2-3 times a week and did a 2-day split twice in...

"huge" is about 2 cups worth. The yam is about the fize of my fist. Strawberries do have sugar but they are low on glycemic load so I don't really feel I should be concerned. I'll keep your suggestion in mind :) Thanks

I started a thread entitled "critique my menu", that's a sample of my cutting diet (I'm assuming your goal is to cut and not gain mass right now based on your diet). I'm looking for feedback from the pros on this board but I think that most of it is fine. Also, it not uncommon for women to need...

Are you drinking water with all of your meals? This will help fill you up. Personally, I find that protein drinks don't really keep me full unless I add flaxseed oil or other fat(peanut butter) to it. I have not seen Daisy's diet(the one she is recommending?) but you could add some low...

How does this look for a cutting diet? I'm a fairly active person (Different kinds of run 3x week, weight train a 2-day split push/pull routine twice within 8 days and kickboxing 3 days a week) and trying to lose the last 5 lbs of bodyfat. M1: 4 egg whites, 1/3 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup of...

In regards to cardio vs. HIIT, where does kickboxing fall in?

This is a problem for me. As my bodyfat lowers, the cellulite on the back of my thighs & glutes gets more pronounced. I've read that this is quite common with the 'hard to lose' areas. It's pretty discouraging when you put all that work in only to find yourself with more cellulite than when...

I've read so many posts on cutting but still, it seems as noone has come up with a list of "basics" when it comes to workout routine, eating etc. Should the workout routine stay the same as far as lifting? What foods should one concentrate on eating when cutting? what should the ratios be...

fitfossil, Out of curiosity, how helpful was it really? On top of a clean diet, weight, and other activities, I've decided to give in and give yohimburn a try. I'm pretty suspicious though :/

Thanks for the reply! The run is less than 5 miles. I've been running for ~30minutes but I plan to add another 10 minutes to it every now and then. The run consists of run/walk combo with sprints. Re apple juice, I add it more for taste than anything. The only reason I consider fruit for M4...

:confused: In the past 2 months, I've stepped up my routine and I am seeing some gains as far as weights/sets/rest. I've always followed the "body for life" style eating and eat portion 1 carb/1protein per meal, 6 meals a day and veggies at least twice a day but now I'm wondering if this is...

Thanks for the info!

I'm training for a specific timed run that will happen in a few months so I'll be doing moderate cardio(running) at least 3 times a week and weight resistance 3 times as well. I'm looking for suggestions as far as nutrition/supplements that can help prevent muscle catabolism. I used to do...

In eating a diet where only 20% consist of fat, should I be counting in EFAs into that 20%? A few nutrionists I know have all told me that they do need to be counted in and do count towards total caloric intake but I've seen individuals on support group say that it should not be counted towards...
