lol…wut?
…wut…
Please tell me you know what detrimental means.
There is a lot of controversy regarding milk
I think of it as a double edged sword, like most things… should be ok if you drink it in moderation (no more than a glass a day)
Here is some info: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/calcium.html
Some suggest there are other better sources of calcium out there…
Yes and no.
HIIT raises your Basal (or Resting) Metabolic Rate, meaning you burn more calories throughout the day. They also promote some muscular growth. All this adds up to increased fat burning without the loss of muscle mass. This is ideal for almost all goals, except marathon/distance runners. Endurance athletes like marathon runners and cyclists are always skinny because their body catabolizes all the muscle. Less muscle = less energy needed to run for long distances = better aerobic endurance.
The most efficient way for someone with little to training to lose a lot of fat is to convert their bodies into calorie burning machines. Building and retaining muscle while doing hight intensity cardio is the best way to do this.
ya i already posted about it in this thread, a while ago.
detrimental, as in…milk is shit…if you do some research you’ll see.
even if its organic and all? thats pretty much the only milk i drink. ( or 1 percent) thanks for the link.
huh… I see now. I always thought drinking milk being a healthy choice (within reason of course, like everything else no overdoing). Very interesting.
i stopped working out for 3 months and i just started again…now i can lift more weights at a higher rep… is that normal? did i just need to let my muscles take a break or was that to long of a break.
perfectly normal.
go look up information on the theory behind Power Factor training.
edit: well actually there’s a lot to Power Factor training. but the basic rest principle in the program is that every workout you try to either lift more weight or more reps. if you cannot do it, it means you need more rest in between your workouts. so at first in the program you work out like twice a week. but after you have been doing it for a long time, you only work out like once a month. and you will still see improvement.
it sounds odd because you do much less work in the long run, but i did this program for over a year in college and i got incredibly strong from it. the only problem is that you no longer get the regular calorie burn from working out all the time, so you need to do another cardio program on the side to keep your conditioning and muscle endurance up.
i did a lot of jujitsu and mma during that time so it worked out ok for me. but i kinda still prefer more traditional programs just because it seems to provide better muscle endurance for sports like wrestling and jujitsu.
Is raw milk from an all natural cow that’s fed a proper diet?
yes, and it’s not homogenized or pasteurized.
but its hard to find,
some black guy talks about it:
Good video. :tup:
post got skipped afew pages back so re-up
Originally when we went to the gym myself and two of my other friends wern’t complete nubs when it came to workout routines and what to do and what not to do, but I notice after reading that it really differentiates between people. So us all doing the same workouts (different weights for the stronger ofcourse) isn’t really the best option.
Recently instead of doing more weight less reps I’ve been doing less weight and doing more reps and I notice I’m actually feeling my muscles burning quite abit more and I’m more tired. My past workout has been the most I’ve sweated and been exhausted since my first week there, so I’m thinking that thats the best way to go, but i’m not sure how that will affect my goal of gaining mass.
So besides answering those q’s anyone have a workout that would help me gain overall mass? I also plan on getting the mass body builder from the GNC.
btw-we usually workout right after school (we get out at 10am) and I know for me atleast I don’t eat breakfast and unless i’m hungry the only thing I have after is a Muscle Milk (delicious).
I’m trying to build some mass in my biceps. What’s better, dumbbell curls or barbell curls?
dumbbell
is there anything better than Hydroxycut Hardcore for burning fat? I picked up a bottle of it and it seems alright but I’m wondering if there are any other recommendations.
muscle milk, opinions?
wow, mad knowledge in this thread. sadly, i don’t have enough time to sift through all of it, so here’s my sitrep (any and all input is welcome):
i’m 5’6, and my natural bodyweight is like 130-135, and my body type is lean/athletic. i just had jaw surgery back in november, and the doc wired my shit shut for a month to make sure i healed right. i lost mad weight, and as the doc told me, the first thing to go on skinny guys was lean muscle.
so i’m trying to get back in shape, and i figure now’s as good a time to start as any in buffing up a little. i want to put a little more mass on around my neck, as well as have some solid functional strength in that area, bulk up the trapezius (?) area (but with the functional priority of bearing a medium load like body armor for prolonged periods), and also to beef up on the arms and quads a bit. i hate lifting weights because it bores me to tears, and i prefer calisthenic (self body-weight) exercises. i understand and accept that ill have to spend some time in the gym in order to overload muscle groups, but would nevertheless prefer to keep my time in the gym to a minimum with short, economic and intense workouts (1 hr or less pls).
i used to lift somewhat regularly back in high school for varsity swimming (i was definitely bigger in the chest than i am now), but i stopped in college. i noticed that as i stopped lifting, i felt more coordinated and flexible than i did when i was lifting. so my priorities in getting back in shape are: functionality (mobility, range of motion, explosiveness, and ability to bear a medium load for prolonged periods of time) with appearance at a close, close second.
what do yall suggest? keep in mind, i’m coming off a period of prolonged recovery, and my body is still pretty feeble compared to my pre-surgery condition, so “ease-in” transitional workout ideas are totally welcome.
Hydroxycut is expensive. For that amount of money, I’d say getting Hot Rox or Venom Hyperdrive would be better. Thermogenics in general work, but aren’t the weight loss panacea they’re marketed as being. If you’re really super cheap, you can just get caffeine straight up and take 200mg 2x daily. Alternatively, if you’re really super spendy, you can take ridiculous amounts of CLA.
Generally, for fat loss, you’re much better off saving your money, and getting your diet in order. This will make a much more significant impact on your body fat %.
It’s great. You can use it in many different circumstances. It works as a decent meal replacement, night time formula, pre-workout shake, etc. People whine about it being high fat, but they’re retarded. Fat is fine, especially the fat in Muscle Milk. Specifically, people will point to it being high in Saturated Fat, but they don’t understand that the Saturate Fats come from tropical oils, which are primarily Medium Chain Triglycerides. MCT’s have proven benefits in adipose mobilization (body fat burning) and immune response.
you should be lifting so that each set goes to at most 6 reps, thats if you want mass. i also would recommend eating breakfast, you could gain some good energy from it as well as a little much needed protein.
