Hi all, I was thinking about how my strength increases substancially when I am carrying more body fat. When I cut down my BF, my strength drops. I know that I am also probably losing some muscle in this process, but could some of the loss in strength (and muscle) be due to the lower volume of...

Thank you all very much for the information. I do wish to preserve muscle mass, and will implement what you all have said.

I have heard that the only thing which one needs to do in order to lose weight is the following: calorie consumption < calorie expendature Most people eat a moderate amount of food, and do extra cardio to increase the calorie expendature. But what if one didn't do any extra cardio, and only...

I have read in this forum that throughout any point in a repetition, the stress on the muscle is equal throughout. The muscle was described as being like a rubber band, with the tension equal in all parts. I think this puts away the myth that certain ranges target certain portions of the muscle...

I heard from my doctor the other day that there was a study done on a very very unique kind of training. The study involved a group of people that worked out in the gym, similar to you and I. The other group took 45 minutes out of every day to "imagine" that they were working out...

i ordered some of HSN's creatine and after three days of taking it my thyroid glands had swelled up to the size of walnuts... I was drinking PLENTY of water, im not sure what the problem was. It this a common side effect of creatine? I went off the creatine and a day later my glands went...

Will the use of creatine affect hunger level?

oh - and Insane_man, yeah, i think we all agree that 30 days on water is ridiculous and would never try it, but what about 2 days? I recall that when i get sick and cant eat anything for about two days, i come out looking more ripped than ever. maybe there is some value here - but i am not...

Baoh, what do you mean by effective? its obvious that you will start to lose fat on this thing. so in that respect its wonderful. but how much of a toll does it really take on the muscle tissue of a bodybuilder who has been trying so hard to put it on? this article would have you believe...

I know this is not a direct answer to your query, but i think you should note it before making your purchase. I tried this product, and the second time I applied it I had fairly serious dizzyness/vertigo , heart palpitations, and nausea. These symtoms lasted for approx. 2 hours. However, I...

Steve - have you been using 4 or 8 pumps per day, and when do you apply them? Also, for anyone else who decideds to try this, dont put it on anytime before you work out - because you will sweat a lot of it out.

Thanks for all the input Steve :)

I just recieved my first bottle of Ab-solved. After applying the first dose, I noticed a slight dizziness along with a slight burning feeling over my abs. Has anyone else also experienced this? Should I be worried by it?

thedrivethruguy - yes, i experienced the same thing you did. Within a very short time of using it, i came down with mumps! who the heck gets mumps!? I think that some people's bodies are more sensitive than others, and that products like creatine can easily disrupt delicate systems. This is...

Is "short" like 10 second sprints and 30 seconds rest?

Sounds interesting.. and for only 20 bucks, I think I'll give it a shot

Just wondering about opinions on ZMA's and their effectiveness. Personal accounts would be appreciated.

I am about to start my next cutting cycle. In the past, every time I have cut it seems that I can never get rid of that fat deposit over my lower abs. Are there any fat loss products out there that really work? Has anyone encountered a supplement that really makes a difference? Thanks

If you have access to a track, then you can easily determine the distance you can cover in 20 seconds, then just repeat that distance for two weeks. Then time yourself again and adjust accordingly to your improvements. If you do not have access to a track, then maybe find a long field and use...

Does this light exposure have to occur at a certain time, or can it just be getting more sunshine during the day(outside activity, etc.)?
