I've been trying Dogcrap's training methods since Jan. My fiance has been training that way since October and I was curious to give it a shot. I love it! I can notice a major difference in muscle development and definition and I hurt after my workouts like never before (which is a good...

FYI - I said 'yes'. The most perfect night of my life!! I have to say that some of the suggestions on here were 'creative' for lack of a better word, but hey - to each it's own. Manson was very creative - just perfect, and a little more 'tasteful' than some of the suggestions made for such an...

Luckily I'm not into sweets or junk. I've indulged yes but I've stuck to my training/dieting during the last 7 weeks that I no longer care to indulge anymore. I've had the occasional treat or cheat meal, which consisted of a plain choc bar or oatmeal pancakes or a piece of fruit. I've found...

JJFigure - so did you buy the Nu Salt or have you found other sources for your potassium intake? Just curious b/c I seriously should be taking one (like 5 weeks ago) other than my multi that is. :worried:

I train hams on leg days now. I was training them seperately from leg days but changed up my routine. - JJFigure, off topic question for you: what are those awesome sneakers/hiking shoes you have on in that pic?

I love glute/ham raises!! My fav by far! I have a suggestion for the Smith machine. The Smith at my gym doesn't have a low enough bar position either but you can modify. I put the barbell in the lowest postion that it can go and add an aerobic step and 2 risers or extra height. I wrap...

diddo on the water, drink up!! Go for a long run - or if you can't even think of running so full, walk! Go for a hike, bike ride - just be active. Ahh, sugar. Necessary Evil.

Girl, it's all about diet, cardio and weight training! Everyone has stomach muscles. Exercises will help to strengthen and sculpt those muscles, no doubt, but it's mostly diet and cardio if you're looking for those abs to come out. As for getting that "bodybuilder look", which I assume...

LOL SteelWeaver - yah it is a rather strange mix. But when dieting, creativity must kick in before the insanity does!! My friends get sick when they watch some of the things I eat, esp. this and my fav - egg white & tuna scramble with peppers and onion! LOL To answer your Q - the egg whites...

I find this simple receipe satisfies any cravings I have for sweets. 10 scoops of chocolate flav. protein powder (I find EAS Simply Whey the best) 1 carton of egg whites Mix and pour into a plastic container. Put it in the freezer (w/o the cover) for a few hours and there you have an awesome...

You have a great body gyrl! You got it - flaunt it! You're back is looking awesome! Keep it up!

There are a few things that I figure is causing the gas. 1) - what is your daily water intake? If you're not consuming enough water (at least 2 L) then you're body cannot digest food properly plus you'll feel dehydrated. 2) - Fruit (apples) is a likely cause of the gas. A lot of people...

Hmmm, very interesting! Thanks for the feedback ladies. I am liking the Alesse now - this was my third cycle and the side effects that I had (emotional (sad), crying for no reason, not anger or severe moodiness) were mainly during the first and second months. I've not gained an ounce on...

Yes, I did read that article - along with a ton of others!! I'm considering the 1 wk on/1 wk off cycle instead. I think the crash from the 2 wks on/2 wks off may be a little too much for me right now. I'm so busy with school that I can't afford to be tired! I guess my bf suggested the 2...

Sorry about the delay CardioGirl...been crazy busy with training, school and work. To answer your Q's: RE the pill (Alesse) - I'm actually fine now...I wasn't actually 'wiggin' out as in tempermental, no where near what VeggieLifterChick described. Holy - I'm thinking that's more than the...
