If you want some cardio excersise that is cool to do and at the same time burns a lot of calories while keeping your muscle, try starting with sports like brazilian ju jutsu, shootfighting or similar sports. Have you seen the physique of those professional guys (Sherdog) ? I practise bjj and my...

I was operated from a meniscus injury myself 1 1/2 year ago, but now I'm back for good. I personally think my problem was that I didn't eat enough protein. Now I follow a diet and the problems have not reappered after that. I started with using the resistance of my bodyweight and following Ian...

* Plyometric excersises is supposed to be good (like jumping down and then up again) * Speedexcersises with resistance from therabands * Sprinting * Therapyball excersises

1 g protein = 4 kcal 1 g carbo = 4 kcal 1 g fat = 9 kcal roughly That's why it is so easy to become fat.

I've only read this forum for a few weeks now, and I guess this has been a issue earlier. Does EMS have any effect on building muscle when used as an addition to regular weight-training? I've used it to heal a wounded knee earlier with ok results. The physiotherapeut claimed that it would...

Thanks for the replies - good motivators to stay off the keg. I'll start drinking green tea and doing yoga. :beer: By the way - John Berardi in T-mag says that "Alcohol is the single best legal Testosterone suppressor known to mankind".

Perhaps a digression, but aren't you dependent on cholesterol for your body to produce testosterone, which is essential for building muscle (cholesterol transforms to cortisol or testosterone)? This doesn't necessary mean you need to be fat to get big?

0.8g per pound equals 1.8g per kg, so I guess 1 g per pound should be a good rule of thumb (I'm metrical, you know :) ).

Oops - major bummer. I only used the nutritional contents to calculate caloric content. 1/2 l beer ~ 235kcal (that's a bit more :p)

Does anybody know how much a day out drinking will set you back in your training/dieting. I notice the effect on training at least 1 1/2 days afterwards. Caloric tables shows that a beer contains approx. 80 kcal per half a liter, but that's not very much...

Tuna, cottage cheese (low fat), turkey, chicken, shrimps, ham, lobster, salmon and other sorts of fish. Cheese has high protein content but is also high in fat.

My general training tip would be to stick to training on spesific days. That makes it easier to be motivated and you can plan other things way ahead without bringing your schedule all the time. I personally prefer (if possible) to train cardio and muscles on different days and take the weekend...

I'm sorry, you are right - 2-3 days is the minimum resting period for a muscle to regain it's strength. See the article http://www.t-mag.com/articles/164mm.html

I'm reffering to a scientific article on Testosterone's pages which says you need close to two days to fully rest a muscle. You can check this by measuring factors like muscle soreness, body heat and how fast the color of your skin turns from white to red after you have put pressure to a point.
