The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

depends on your diet.. and you have to know your body... its not a one thing fits all type deal... but the meals are simple enough..... protein carb fat... the basics are done for you... its the persons job to do the rest

what your saying can be said for anything.... well why are you buying protein if you dont know how much to take.... its the persons job to do the research

as to refeeds and off days.... refeeds are for carb cycling which people who contest prep do, not your average workout joe and off days... limit calories depending on your goals

ill keep going back to it... people SHOULD be researching

most of the work is done for you.... all YOU have to do is count, add and eat haha

 

okay I see that... Im not trying to cause an argument I just want to make a point that the pre made meals are good for people

 

totally agree!

 

My ass weighs 196 (5'11") as of today, I look and feel great except for the more I lift the bigger my waist is becoming, up to 34.5 from 33. Is this normal with the creatine? Someone told me it causes bloating and once I cycle off I'll start losing waist size. My abs are pretty strong and moderately defined.. I'm 13-14% body fat. Any suggestions etc? I am just worried about staying below 35 for PT test so I get max pts.

 

I take creatine everyday and my waist went down. I actually had to put two new holes in my belt. Are you sure you have your belt on your waist and not on your ass? Your ass may have gotten bigger from lifting...

 

what about food? are you eating clean? or just what ever?

 

Clean as I can be, no soda, nothing processed, no alcohol, I drink about 120 oz of water a day, and 1-2 glass of milk.

 

what about your cardio? enough to pass the run or...?

 

I don't think a trainer knows how my body responds, I am the only one who knows. A trainer can give suggestions on what to eat, how much, etc and then when you say oh that's not working...he has to change it.

Why don't I say the same thing to myself? Oh me eating out 3-4 times a week, eating snacks and spending spending cash on top of that on shitty food isn't working, maybe I should change it?

If you read the ingredients on these items, there is very little salt, very little processing, very little of anything. Its trainer approved by the founders and top trainers of BB.com. With this program, you order as many meals as you want! And eat as many of them as you need, the more you order, the more you get a discount. 112 meals is enough for four meals a day for a month. You normally eat that right? This program doesn't tell you when to eat, it doesn't tell you how much, etc as you mentioned, it gives you the power to have pre-made healthy meals available in as much quantity as you need.

I'm going to try it...if I get results that I want, mission accomplished.

 

Permanent injury, I do the walk.. I can only run about 3/4 of a mile before it hurts too bad. I do 15-20 min of bike or treadmill before I lift every time. Each day on is 5-6 exercises, 3-5 sets. Usually takes me hour to get done with everything.

 

that could be your problem.... if you take in a lot of calories then your body will use it to get bigger... and when you get bigger so does waist size... how many calories do you consume on avg per day?

 

I spent 35 years sitting behind the steering wheel of a Semi. As a result, I had to have a Gastric Bypass in 1999, or I was going to DIE! I was 457# at 6'1" tall, and wore size 62 pants!
Currently about 288, and wear size 48 pants. Work out as often as I can in my home gym, and trying to watch what I eat.
Believe me, it's tough dropping weight once you get past 55 or so.

 

go get it sir!

 

2800 on avg

 

i just noticed you're about the same size as me... and when I took my last pt test I was at 160 29"-30" waist, I'm 5'10" ..... so I was cut and moderately skinny. If your waist is scaring you I would suggest cutting calories and see where that gets you. But it depends on what you want and what your goals are
