Just ignore bosox.. I don't know why, but he always butts in with simplistic answers here and there, which aren't in the least bit helpful, and sometimes borderline on being flames (although not in this case thankfully), I'd rather prefer it if he stopped replying if he can only contradict...

Total newb when concerning diets.. But is protein intake really that complicated? Will you really reduce the hypertrophy effect if you don't eat every 2-3 hours? I'd think aiming for a certain amount of calories over a single day, and a certain percentage of those calories as...

Dayum.. I didn't eat before the exercise, and it wrought hell on my performance.. I barely could do it to 15 reps so it wasn't to failure.. I'm wondering how close to failure is ok.. Of course today was the last day of the 15s so maybe I'm worrying for nothing as it's supposed to be close to...

Actually if I can I won't alternate between them, mainly because they are two different exercises, although many of the muscle groups are the same. And no way am I going to alternate between dips and incline benchpress, one focuses mainly on lower pecs and the other on upper pecs, so I'm...

Hmm.. I'm so tempted to just reduce the sets for squats and deadlifts from 2 to one, instead of varying it and doing both the same day.. Maybe it's my machismo Going "Ugg!" and growling in a "More Power!" attitude.. So doing just one set of squats and one set of deadlift is...

It's not really 3 hours before bed, it's more like 1 hour.. 11 o'clock in the evenings. also if I eat dinner one hour before the workout, is a protein shake before workout also needed as well? S.

Hey, just wanted to ask a few Q's. I see alot of info on dieting, and how to set up your eating times before and after your exercise, but it always seems to me that it might not be valid for someone who exercises from 200 onward. Could someone tell me if the advice of eating at least one hour...

Found in another thread This link. It's a link with nutritional information on things like chicken, salmon, and other foodstuffs you might not know the components of. S.

I'm just starting at this whole BB thing, but I'm going to be cutting off the fat around february-march to at least try to look good for summer, then around july-august, bulk up. I'd say try to decide a time when you want to look your best, and after that, bulk up again. I'd also recommend...

I found out what EFA means: Essential Fatty Acids. general overview some in-depth reading material and macronutrients: Macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats and individual fatty acids. S.

Hi there, I thought that it was weird that there wasn't a thread which dealt with helpful general hints and links to stuff on the net which is genuinely great reads on diet and nutrition. For the newbie - diet & nutrition FAQ Here's a glycemic index and glycemic load table. Basically it...
