Just do a google search and you can find caliper. Calipers are only good if the person using them has experience, and if the calipers are good (not the rinky dink POS calipers). A good pair of calipers will cost around $200. Underwater weighing is the most accurate, but good luck finding a...

Has anyone heard of or used m-drol? My brother asked me about it and I was reading about and have not found anything concrete. I see that is can cause liver problems, and should not be taken with any type of medical problem. What exactly does it do? I know alittle about it, like it should...

mr bmr is about 2900, or 4350kcal, with the activity factor

Well I entered my food into fitday.com, and it came out to around 3500 kcal. It seems a little high. The cream of rice in my post workout was 640 calories by itself. The break down was 45 (CHO), 30 (Pro), and 25 (Fat). I know that ratio is not what I want. Any ideas on how to tweak this a...

anyone?

I decided it is finally time for me to get my body together, and wouldn't mind some input. Current Stats: 6'3 325lbs roughly b/t 32-35% BF Goals: get down to 280 lbs w/o sacrificing too much muscle get b/t 25-28% (For starters) Time Factor: I have no set date I need to do this by but would...

I was wondering if my Pre/Post workout meals are good enough for my goals. I am trying to loose weight, and currently I have a shake when I wake up, usually 7:30. Hit the gym at 8:00, then have 1cup oatmeal w/ raisins, a banana, and 2 rice cakes, also with a shake. How does that sound? Also...

Well currently i am about 6'3 320lbs, I have been losing weight the last couple of years (was 353 at one point) I realize I will most likely not get down to 220lbs. My goal is to basically decrease my body fat (which right now I think is around %26-28). My diet is solid, and my workout plan is...

Just got some Raw MCC and I had a couple questions. First is one serving just the 1 teaspoon? Also do I just mix it with water?

anything that does not require a blender?

I am in no ways a morning person, and now my summer job calls for 7:10 wake up calls, and I usually do not eat breakfast. I am hurting around 10:00 (hunger pains). I need a breakfast shake that I can just throw together mix and drink. If it helps I am trying to cut as much as possible.

Thanks, Ill go get some icy hot and try that

I have had this pain is the side of my arm, around where the lateral head of the triceps is, and it hurts pretty bad to push (over head or even on bench). My bench max is around 340 and I could barely get through a set of 10 with 135lbs. I got he checked by the doctor on campus, and he said he...

I had 2 things I wanted to ask so instead of making 2 separate threads i thought I would just do it in 1. 1. I just started a new split of: Mon-Thur: Lower body/back Tue-Fri-Upper Body Wed,Sat, Sun- Cardio When I get to the end of the week it feels like I got nothing left in the tank. My...

Are fruit smoothies good when cutting and if so when is the best time? I was at Target and saw packages of frozen fruit for smoothies. I was thinking of maybe using skim milk or orange juice and maybe mixing some whey with them.
