Depends on the Glycemic load though. Thing is if you eat a Banana, yes it's around GI 54, top of the low GI scale, and coupled with a larde Banana, around 28g Carbs, your Glycemic load is just over 15, (moderate). If you eat a smaller one that's around 18g Carbs, is only 11.5, which is considered l...

I can see the first 2 popping out but the next two i can feel wen i touch and from there its all flabs. I currently hav a r...

When I use dumbells it didn't happen. I would do dumbell flys and it neve rhappened.

I just started using the barbell for chest exercises (used 2 use dumbells) but anyway, i've found that when I use the barbell it doesnt go up striaght (ie i tilt it more to 1 side than the other). Does anyone know what may be casuing this and what I can do to make sure it goes up and straight? Cheers

Before I started gym I used to eat whatever, i.e. junk food, chocolate this that. I had 78-79kg. Now i've kicked out all the junk food out of diet and started to eat more healthy. I've been training 4 times a week for 3.5 weeks now and somehow I managed to lose 2-3 kg at the start but at the moment ...

How long will it take for a newbie to see the chest starting to get bigger (naturally, not on roids)?

Eat a bit less than 3,000. Remember on days when you don't workout, your body won't get the 1hr post-workout time window to have more Protein / calories, so calories will be lower anyway. I've measured that I need roughly 2,500 calories to maintain weight (i've included level of physical activity, ...

Well a good sized Chicken Breast has 30g Protein in it, (120 calories). However this doesn't necessarily mean there's 120g weight. I'm assuming the additional weight is probably from Breadcrumbs right? Realistically I'd be a little concerned about the Breadcrumbs, as I'm pretty sure they are Fried ...

I like the woolworths free range breast fillets. There is one problem though, there isn't any indication of how much carbs/protein/fat/cals it contains on the pack. All it says is that it contains 480g. Would anyone know how much protein/carbs/fat/cals the free range breast fillets would contain. I'...

So I need 2500 cals to maintain weight. I do weight training 4 times a week. I want to bulk up so I should be eating roughly 3000 cals? Correct? I should be eating 3,000 calories on days in which i work out but what about on days in which i don't work out? Should i be eating 2500 calories that day o...
