sorry for the absence from the site for awhile. just been a little busy. umm... not sure what bf% is. that's one thing i've been wanting to figure out and i'm not sure how to do it. i'd guess maybe 10-12(?).. but i may be wrong. i dunno. any suggestions on how to find out? how long do you think it w...

ok, thanks swanso. how many carbs would be needed post-workout? shake has 3g carbs. would something like toasted oats (like cheerios) and a banana be good along with it. or does the no fruit after #2 principle stay? instead of yogurt would salad be good with some meat. kind of like a chicken salad? ...

schedule from monday - friday goes something like this day generally starts at either 9 or 9-30. 9(30): instant oatmeal and a hard boiled egg white or cereal with soy milk and the egg. 10-10:30 -- multivitamin 12(30): this one varies but i have another egg white here. natural peanut butter and (nat...

ok, thanks swanso5. i'l give it a shot. it sounds like a good way to mix up cardio.

well, for cardio after working out.. i try to do a half an hour at 4.7 mph or so (starting at 2.0 or 2.5 and speeding up from there). workouts take me about a half an hour. so that's an hour total of lifting/cardio. the speed is obviously up to you and whatever you feel comfortable with. you're body...

ooh ok. thanks for clearing that up for me.i'll start doing those.:) i also heard about HIIT. i was a confused a little by it and was wondering if someone could clear it up for me and this seems like a good time if ever.. as i understand it, it's pretty much going from 2.5 mph on a treadmill for 2 m...

i don't quite understand how deadlifts & squats help in burning down to a six pack. i always thought deadlifts and squats were generally for back (maybe) and legs. could someone explain?

hey master_m i agree with Sarah on the Abs. the abdominal muscles are just like any other muscle and you don't want to train them that much, as that would be over-training and in the end make the abdominals appear "tired" and not firm. for the cardio, in the morning on the empty stomach is...

lol, thanks. i'm glad it's good. otherwise that would have put a hole in diet..

i play hockey. i also enjoy baseball, playing some pick-up football and volleyball. soccer is fun to watch.. pool, poker, and darts also. pretty much anything really. haha.

i have read that peanut butter is bad because of it's fat content. i only eat natural peanut butter and have also read in other places that peanut butter is good and the fat is natural fat. so it's good for you. which side is really true?

hey guys, since january, i've been trying to get abs to show through without flexing. i have been on a diet (though, true to what many say, it's more of a lifestyle), lift, run/jog everyday since january. but no matter what, it seems, abs just don't show through unless i flex them. what am i doing w...
