Could be related to Cortisol levels. Does she have a demanding occupation? Anything like children, inducing mild stress increases? I say this as Cortisol when produced more than usual can lead to Abdominal Fat deposits. We are in college and all have part time jobs. So yeah we're are stressed on a ...

Slight break. Is this workout any good?

Orthopedic doctor is demanding I take a bit of a breather from lifting. I ran track in high school and one year in college, had to quit because of a torn rotator cuff injury and Junior year in high school tore ACL. I've been hitting the weights pretty hard, I was in a minor atv accident a couple of...

Question for a friend

Since July of last year I have officially lost 54lbs. I couldn't be happier. One of female friends started working out and running with me a few months ago. She's having problems losing weight. She's concerned. She has a very toned stomach. And is considerably small for her weight. BUT she has a pre...

Mostly muscle. I'm not tiny lol. If that's what you're worried about. I weigh 140 which is actually ideal for height and body frame.

Two supplements. Need some advice.

Hi guys! Been awhile. Since last update, I've dropped that last 12 stubborn lbs. And I'm down to a comfy 10.4% body fat. I feel great! I have some serious definition around abs and obliques now, great shoulders and legs. I'm still having some problems with inner arm (tricep). It's still definitely n...

I'll let the hardcore guys explain the weights and stuff lol. I don't claim to be an expert. However, I know what has helped me as far sprinting is concerned. I use a power fitness chute. It's pretty much a scaled down version of a parachute that you tie around you. With this you can sprint backward...

By having problems with them I assume you mean you are not seeing definition? That doesn't actually have much to do with working them. There is a saying that abs are made in the kitchen. We see definition in our abs by reducing body fat, not from working them. That doesn't mean that working them is...
