...and use fitday to track your calories, Fitday that should help you control what and how much you eat.

Good analogy, and I agree

i'm only 19 so i can't offer exactly correct insight on a 42 year old woman, but as far as cholesterol is concerned, it may be the high sat. fat associated with atkins diet. In place of carbs, you have more protein/fats, and more specfically high protein sources that are atkins...

Eventually, after training bench (or any exercise for that matter) at a certain weight, should/will it get easier and easier the more times you do it? For example I do bench 3 times a week, 2 sets (like HST) I just continue at my 5RM. Will my 5RM become easier eventually?

Perfect... thank you micmic

fitday is free, and awesome, i use it everyday

haha good point, i suppose that was just a little dumb. I hate to keep coming back with what probably seems to be obvious answers, but when i do HIIT, i wake up, grab my MP3 player, and leave my house, ie i dont have a few hours before the session (well, i'm sleeping). Glycogen stores are...

i guess i should have been more specific, i'm talking about fat loss, rather than performance (which is also important, so thanks micmic) Does having carbs/protein/anything improve,lessen, or have no effecton fat loss. Basically I just want to do HIIT so that it has the maximum fat loss effect...

I may have found something.... --This was done using women, and also it isnt HIIT, but am i on the right track? (this was the first time using pubmed, very useful) It says that calorie expenditure was the same (or very close, 215-219kcal) but more fat was oxidized, which is good right?

Some people say have carbs + protein before HIIT, but then ive also heard to do it on an empty stomach...by that same logic some people say that upon awakening, if you do cardio you burn fat, others say you burn muscle. Any studies done on this, because if i'm doing the cardio, I really want to...

Not exactly sure on the first part, but i believe he's talking about the bread in the store called "whole wheat" but when you look at the ingredients, it has enriched,unbleached wheat flour, thiamine and other stuff in it. I think the enriched, unbleached terms means its processed...

Do you mean trust the effectiveness, or the bad side effects? or something else? I did a simple google search and a few different products came up, is it worth trying now or like lars said wait 5 or so years or what? If it has no side effects, i'd try buying it now to see how effective it is...

....really strong

thank you chacha, i like your idea. Anyway you could post your routine here? What your saying is just increase the weight, and dont worry about how many reps? so (to make the math easy) if i bench 100 for 5 reps, try to bench 110 for 5, then 120 for 5 and if i cant do that then 120 for 4, 130...
