Why do you think Cutting is the right thing? I would think its best to take advantage of the extra rest I will have, to bulk. But, yes, I have fatter than I would like, not bigger, but fatter around the waist. So, I assume the 5s and negs are to help keep what muscle I have? When you said...

Ok, my job usually has long hours, which causes me to not get enough sleep on the weekdays. Now I will have a short term assignment (until end of Feb) where the hours are a lot less.   Although I feel I am a bit too fat right now, I think the 3 weeks of extra rest would be a great time to bulk...

I have not worked out for a few months now (some injuries) But now I am feeling better, I would like to start HST again. But I am traveling for work, and the hotel we have to stay in has a lousy gym. (3 treadmills, dumbbells up to 10lbs) Theres nothing else around, also we get out of work...

"Now Sard, hit the gym and get those abs working 13,5% is not bad considering your former (hopefully) diet " Its not former, but I am eating less meals (which might not be a good thing). Monday Dinner: Wendy's - chili, plain baked potato, jr. bacon cheeseburger, 5 piece nuggets...

Falco - You are right! I asked a trainer at my gym to help me measure my bodyfat %. He used calipers to measure my skinfold, at 3 spots, 3 times, and then he added all the numbers together (9) and then divided by 3. Upper Chest, near the armpit: 8, 10, 11 = added together 29 Stomach, next to...

Ok, I like to snack on stuff while I read books. Usually, its M&Ms, or Raisinettes, or Doritos (I hear the gasps of horror from you guys) But, I have not been reading lately (its been like 6 months since I read a book) I feel my mind turning to mush, so I want to start again. Whats are...

"You're around my size. I'm 5'9" & I was 186 and 23% bf. I hit 160 @ 12.5 % bf (bf taken via caliper by a trainer at the gym). I still wasn't 'ripped'. Weeks later I hit 156, but was still 12.5% bf. Ut oh! I lossed weight but my bf stayed the same. Ungood." How did you look...

Hi Jake, When it first came out, a lot of people made a big deal about it, to me. But, like I said, I have been eating Fast Food at least once a day for the last 15 years. My weight (until Jan) has been good (I am underweight, if anything), I am in good health. Blood pressure, cholestorol...

My family has always felt I was too skinny (Im asian, fat = rich) So they bought me a few cases of Ensure. Is it a bad idea to drink it? I was thinking about eating 3 meals a day, and drinking 1 or 2 Ensure cans a day. Or maybe, I'll add protein powder to the Ensure.

Falco, "165 & 31 in waist = ~ 9% bf,  175 & 33 in waist = ~ 12 % bf" I WISH!!  I dont think Im like that.  If I flex, I can see my 6 pack (barely), but I dont think my bf is that low. My arms, etc...are not cut at all.   My body (in my opinion) looks like Kid Rock.  Skinny...

"and BTW< eating 2 meals/day when you used to eat 3/day doesn't necesarrily translate to eating "less" " I always order the samething when I eat. For instance, Burger King, Angus Steak meal. So I went from (for example) 3 angus steak meals to 2. I did not add more to the...

From their website (and my notes): Large Fries = 500 calories Angus Steak = 570 calories But anyway, we are focusing on the wrong issue. Why is it that when I ate 3 meals my weight stayed constant, but now I am eating 2 meals, my weight will not go down? I ate the SAME items, but now I am...

"alright clearly you aren't listening to anyone.  First of all, 5-8 minutes on the treadmill isn't cardio.  " What kind of cardio should I do?  Long and slow, or fast and short? Doing it on an empty stomach, is that still considered the right way to do it? "Secondly, "2-3...

Crappy food = Fast food. BUT the thing is this, Ive been eating crappy food for the last 15 years. Its not like I ate well, and then switched to fast food and cant lose weight. Ive been doing HST for awhile now. My weight stabilized around 165lbs, and my waist at 31inches. I did not workout...

Ive been trying to do HST for a few years now. I know that nutrition is very important. But what is confusing me now is. I am eating less food (and therefore less calories) but I am not losing weight. In other words: Previously: 3-4 crappy meals a day, and HST workout. My bodyweight stayed...
