Weight loss? jesus 13/01/11(Fri)19:53 No. 11159 [Reply]

File 135793041999.jpg - (409.36KB , 1920x1200 , the-walking-dead-season-3-poster-2012.jpg )

So during the course of two week during christmas i stopped dieting and reguraly working out after being on a strict diet and workout schedule. But when i checked my weight after these two weeks i dropped from 115 kg to 113 kg. Now i probably didnt eat over 3500, not sure. But how did i lose 2 kg during that time. Is this natural, or did i lose 2kg of muscle mass? Is it even possible for someone to lose 2 kg of muscle mass in two weeks?

Are you taking care to create identical circumstances for each weighing? Time of day, bowl movements, meals, perspiration, water retention, level of hydration and poor quality scales has caused my total bodymass to vary with more than 5 kg (~11 pounds) between two weigh-ins 4 days apart.

Just ~11 pounds four days apart? I usually weight about 9 pounds more at night than what I do at the morning, everyday. Yes, identical circumstances are important if you want to pay attention to a 2 kg difference.

Yea, I don't weigh myself that often.
What you are describing seems to be in line with other stories I've heard, a fluctuation of up to around 10 pounds in a day (depending on total body mass ofc).

I have never even posted once before but today I need help. I'm a smoker of 8 years and I quit for New Years. I've quit meth and coke, but quitting smoking is killing me. Is there any tips or tricks to make the transition easier?

Don't go cold turkey, just quit for once and for all.
Yeah, it's hard, mostly if you're a heavy drinker. One always wanna smoke when is drunk.

quitting smoking is ridiculously easy if you go about it the right way
i could explain more but i cbf, there is a book called quit smoking the easyway by allen carr, he's a terrible writer but it explains the mentality you have to adopt to quit. seriously its fucking easy if you go about it the right way i never wanted a cigarette again in my life

Does anyone have any books by Mike Mentzer?
I'm trying to find Heavy Duty 2 Mind and Body, and the Heavy Duty Journal specifically, but any book will do, they're all great!

Most effective routines for mass gain Anonymous 12/12/15(Sat)20:50 No. 10941 [Reply]

OK, so after doing 5x5 for several months, I'm sick of the fact that I'm not seeing the gains in mass that I'd like. I have consistently made gains in the weight I put up, but only slightly noticeable gains in size.

My question is this: is a 5x5 not the most effective way to put on size? I am only interested in looking good right now, not in my strength, honestly. Is it true that routines to maximize hypertrophic benefit are usually lower in load with higher reps? If the goal is to keep muscle under stress for longest period of time possible, isn't that the case with a larger amt of reps?

What do you guys think?

If you want an easy change to your routine, try 5+10:
Your regular 5 reps, then with no rest, 10 reps with about 50% max weight. Roughly enough to almost reach failure in 8-12 reps - you may need more or less depending on how hard you push yourself in your 5 reps.

>I am only interested in looking good right now, not in my strength
Than you will also fail at high volume/low intensity style programs (BB style).

Before I reccomend any 'sarco-hypertrophy' style programs, what's your bodyweight and what numbers do you do on Major lifts?

This beginner routine has 27,000 replies on bodybuilding.com

The main drawback is that the routine takes about 90 minutes

This is my fist time following a strict diet with calorie counting. I have been using both http://www.wolframalpha.com and the back of food packaging to calculate and plan calories and macro's in my meals.
>wolfram alpha and the back of packets often differ.
>example, 'whiting fish 100g'
>wolfram give it 23g of protien, 2g fat and 116cal
>the back of the packet says 20g protien NO fat and only 86 cal
>which should i trust?
>is wolfram over estimating?
>is the packaging just trying to look leaner to sell more fish?

I'm in australia if that helps at all. And I have double checked, both sets of data are for 100g of the same type of fish.

I'm also Australian too, when i was 50kg heavier I used Livestrong and imput all food macros manually if they didn't come up with the Australian stuff, a lot of the shit saved on there is all yank brands.

Let me tell you tho man, You'll be glad once you can tell macros by looking at food, counting becomes tedious as fuck, all in good time tho.

Tho diet is really important don't stress over 100-200 calories man, you can always just readjust the next day and unless you're gearing for a bb comp or are some curlbro 'getting shredded for stereos/summerdays brah' you can afford to take an extra day or so on your cut.

Always trust the information on the package.

Wolfram Alpha is good for stuff that doesn't come with nutritional values (fish, meat, etc).

Make sure you use the correct information. Wolphram Alpha works by giving you the medium value of all online food libraries. All it takes is one database to be off for the whole value to be off.

But it's never by much. What I do is I always round the numbers up. For instance, if something has 378 calories I'll count it as 390 just to be sure.

This is only true if you're cutting and want to make sure you're not consuming more calories than what is needed.

>Also carbs*4+fat*9+protien*4 won't always equal total calories. From my understanding there are also other factors that contribute to calories, like alcohol (7cal a gram) content and other shiz.

I know. But the last time I checked, plantain chips and bagels don't have any alcohol. Some times it's huge errors like what should be at least 200 calories but 110 written. As in it must have been a typo or they didn't include the cooking fat in the calories for some reason.

My nails are...wavy and unevenly coloured.

My knuckles and finger joints particularly are ugly, gnobbled and gnarled

My eyebrows are naturally mono and of uneven sticking out length

My hairline is receding, and I'm only 20

My lip has a permanent scar down the middle of the bottom lip due to repeat tearing that at best reseals than eventually tears again at a large smile. This doesn't prerequire dryness even!

I get chaffing between my thigh and balls and it burrrns all the time. I have to put things on it and it has been come and go since childhood

My feet are not so smell getting, but certain thick socks get so bad smelling after I use them, and I don't know what to do to reduce the effect of my feets smell or to reduce the smell!

I have a blocked nose...all the fucking time.

Could possibly be a fungal infection. See a doctor.

nails is due to stress
eyebrows can be groomed
own your baldness (some girls dig it)
drink more water and keep lotion on your lips

and so on and so forth

eat well, drink water, and exercise (great for reducing stress). it is not magic.
and keep your body clean and groomed.

but you know all this already.

I have the same problem with my nails, and I can't seem to fix it internally. I just bought a nail buffing kit and I file them down occasionally to make them look a little more presentable. Not sure if you can do anything about the color.

You can't do much about the knuckles unless you believe in some wives' tales. Just make sure your skin isn't cracking or anything and I don't think anyone will care.

Groom those brows. Get them threaded if there's a professional in your area. My friend had the same problem, and now you can't even tell that his brows are naturally uneven.

Rogaine or shave your head. Or I guess just accept your baldness like anon suggested.

What I do when my lips are splitting is rub lotion or vitamin E oil on them before bed, and then cover them in beeswax chap stick. Most chap stick doesn't actually moisturize, it just keeps them from getting drier. That's why the lotion helps. If it still splits, you might want to see a doctor to get a topical cream to soften the scar tissue.

I don't have balls so I dunno about that one. Better fitting/wicking underwear? Baby powder or gold bond?

Baking soda is good for absorbing odor. You could sprinkle that in your shoes, or you might just need to buy some antimicrobial socks.

I have been doing the insanity workout for a while now but am wondering if anyone's done p90x and then insanity. And could you compare them in terms of stamina and endurance results at the end the regimens? I use this site for insanity.

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't know a lot of fitness. I was just wondering what type of muscle is built doing exercises that use your own weight.
The type of exercises that use unusual positions like planches and holds similar to the one in the picture, but using the ends of parallel bars. would this be creating dense muscle?

Burpees, bodyweight squats.

Also, go ham and try out different ways of pushups:
http://artofmanliness.com/2009/07/21/push-ups-exercises/

Crunches and bicycle crunches are some variations on situps. That way you can hit your upper abs and obliques more. Someone told me situps have some unnecessary movements in it that make it less effective than crunches. Not sure about that.

Dragon flags for lower abs

Get into a Gravitron. When at full speed, do some sit-ups. Roll around, and do some push-ups. Then stand up, and proceed to do a few squats, arms outstretched in front of you. That should do.

Pistol squats.

Hand stands, for support muscles and balance.

Hand stand pushups if you can do them.

Yoga leg lifts. (Lifting legs and lower body while supporting with upper back and lower arms)

Horse stance/ wall sitting(?). Add light weights held in hands as you advance. (like, water bottles or whatever)

Karate-water-jar style lifting for fingers/lower arms. Technically not bodyweight but adding it since you can do it with random items from home.
