Firstly just want to say thanks for all the input on "salt" and diet-training routine. :) yeah bossman that's what i thought..raises blood pressure and the like, maybe not though training looks alright although if you weren't to do full body workouts (which i'd prefeer yuot o do) than at l...

workouts are first thing in the morning due to the heavy load of varsity during the day. So basic daily schedule is as follows: 04:30 am : Have just over half a serving of a MRP (22g protein, 27g carb, +-220 calories) 05:00 am : hit the gym and warm for five minutes, hitting the weights about 05:15...

Hey, thnx for the reply... Sorry, forgot to mention goals... main goal is fat loss with lean muscle retention. Obviously a bit of muscle gain with fat loss would be more effective if possible, but basically fat loss is first concern. More specifically, i would like to enter the single digits in body...

Hello all Say for instance your main goal is fat loss (ripped with a good physique). Would it be better to first bulk up and then cut or would it be better to go full out fat loss, then followed by adding lean muscle. I know the real difference between the two is mainly diet (eating 20% over mainten...

Hello all One thing i have come across quite often in the training and dieting community is the ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE of the mind, and training your mind. Why?

Yes, i have the very same problem. I was once obese weighing about 156kgs @ 180cm tall. I lost all weight in about a year (went down to about 80kgs) from just diet and calorie control (no exercise). What happened? well, one could only guess... :) I searched many hours trying to find a solution, and ...

I would suggest you find a nutritional book / site that may supply a database of food calories, get a notebook and calculator, and record your daily food intake adding up all the calories. Once you have recorded this you can compare and adjust (if needed) to your calorie requirements. There are many...

Hi tethersofthescene I had a similar question based on a.m cardio, and ive also done some searching on the web on it. I used to be a terrible morning person, until i found that varsity really takes up time during the day. Now i can say i am a morning person from doing early morning workouts now for ...
