Spam is spam is spam. Saying 'just delete' does not take away what was done whether by accident or not(and this isn't the first time I get triplicates+ of spams for this site). I deal with hundreds of emails a day, I don't need unecessary ones. If you think 10 copies of an email is "nice", you...

I received 10 emails exactly entitled "Download 11 ebooks today!" all spamming for ironmagazineforums.com. I'm not impressed.

I've been training steady 6 days a week since mid April and just recently took 2 1/2 weeks off. I've made significant improvement in inches from pretty much everywhere and taken up some of Jodi's advice on my diet(specifically about adding more EFAs in). I just see others about my size...

HIIT info Check out http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp It stands for High Intensity Interval Training

I understand that diet is important and I eat pretty clean and usually go for 40/40/20. MY goal is to put on muscle and lose bodyfat. My problem is I just think doing HIIT even 3 days a week isn't doing it for me so I was thinking of adding something else. I was going to reply(before I saw...

So I'm thinking that on top of doing my HIIT(or sometimes instead of), I could go swimming. I used to follow a masters swimming class for months at a time. Basically you are given lap assignments for 1 hour usually coming out to 76-80 25 meter laps. In the past, when I did BFL, a lot of...

water intake, how much of a difference does it make? Hi Jodi! Sorry for the late reply(was away on short road trip). In any case, I know I've been told to increase my water intake more than I do now but I find it hard to increase it when at work. It's not that I don't like water but more...

I was just wondering what the general consensus is on RTDs? I find them convenient to have as part of 1-2 of my meals especially the post-workout one. I tried Muscletech's nitrotech grape RTD and it pretty coold :) Tasted like coolaid but left my mouth kind of dry after. Each one has 45g of...

On the contrary, its moderate carb, moderate protein, lower fat. 40/40/20 You just need to proportion your meals a bit better. Please make sure you read the stick. ;) It has a shopping list in there too. Oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, legumes, apples, peaches, berries, grapefruit...

Thanks for all the tips. So you are proposing that I gain my calorie deficit from my workouts instead of my foods then? Why the higher increase in fats? I figured I would likely be getting enough from the foods on their own. This diet would seem higher in protein and fats and lower in carbs...

Getting off topic a little I suppose but I often hear people refer to a 'cutting phase' when they have finished a bulking phase. If a person is still struggling to get to that lowered bodyfat as a first goal, would this be considered cutting as well? I have read the stickies on cutting. Are...

Here's my problem(or maybe there isn't much of a problem but just very slow progress)... I'm trying to lose bodyfat and build muscle at the same time or at least lose bf and maintain the muscle I do have. I did 1 body for life challenge from april to july and didn't lose all that much. Some...

Unfortunately, I have a problem remembering to take my EFAs every day but for a while I took flax every day but I can't say forsure that it has contributed to my fat loss(because it has been minimal and I believe eating right and working out are the source of this). I'm wondering if Udo's oil is...

This might sound like a stupid question but I was curious as to what most of you do when you are sick with a cold? Do you wait until you feel better or do you wait until the cold is fully gone before going back to the gym? Last Wednesday I decided to take the rest of the week off as I was...

I'm not big on intros so I will try to keep it short :) I've struggled with my weight most of my life, I managed to go from 172lbs to 143lbs within 5 months(summer of 01) just by eating less and better. In december of 01 I got interested in resistance training again(used to do it in college)...
