I could do with dropping some bodyfat pretty quickly in the next few weeks and have been doing some research on the best methods. I am currently into my second HST cycle just about to start the 5's and am thinking about doing atkins for about 3 weeks to drop some fat. I have done atkins in the...

I've got my diet planned out quite well I thought with lots of variety of foods, 1 protein shake a day, 2 pints of milk/day, 3 tins of tuna / week, 4 portions of chicken / week, 4 eggs/week, and some other meat/cheese. Now I am  concerned whether some of these levels are safe, i.e the amount of...

Just finished my first ever drop sets on my 3rd week of 5's. After reading the threads on this forum, I thought I had the process nailed down. In the end I had to stop near the end of my workout as it was so intense and I ended up getting muscle cramp in my forearms! On some of the exercises I...

I've just completed my sixth week of my first cycle ending with my (rough) 5RM. I have been looking around the site to see what I can do in the next 2 weeks before my SD. It seems that negs or dropsets are the next options. I cannot do negs as I train on my own, so do I just continue now with my...

Hi, I've just finished my first 2 weeks of 15's HST and now moved onto the 10's. I have found that the first day of 10's seems very easy, which is to be expected I suppose as I have had to drop down the weight (zig zag) in order to get the increments to get to my 10 max in 2 weeks time...

In that case, the only real success I've had with dieting, is doing the atkins diet, this really seems to burn the bodyfat off and according to some studies, minimizes muscle loss. The only problem with this is sticking to atkins, as its as boring as F**k. I could go down the normal calorie...

I'm 6ft, approx 200lbs, and have 30% (according to BF scales) body fat. I done HST off and on for the last few months, but having been off it for a while now and not eating properly, I've gained some body fat. My question is, is it better to diet first and lose the body fat, down to approx...

I thought this might be a suitable topic for this board. I have done some reading on Aspartame recently, as I, and probably most people in the past, have been on a low cal/low fat/low sugar etc.etc diet in an attempt to shed those extras pounds of unwanted fat. What I have seen from most of the...

Yes, but the question is about how much Protein Powder you should consume, rather than total combined protein intake

How much protein powder does everyone have a day, I've worked out that I can consume four servings (17g each) a day fairly easily and get approx 160g of protein (with other things). As I'm still off by about 40g is there are limit or guidlines as to how much whey protein powder you should have...

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. I have bitten the bullet and now just down it with semi skinned milk, or just water alone, I think I must be getting used to the taste. One other question though, it looks like I will struggle to get the required 200g per day needed with the two...

Now I've finally got some whey protein powder, vanilla flavoured, what can I mix it with to make it taste better. So far I've tried strawberries, and nesquick chocolate powder + millk. What about putting it in some food etc. Please let me hear your own methods, however quirky thanks Kev
