For everyone who has nothing better to do with their time: Should I grow my hair again? I cut it a couple of months ago but deep down I've been missing my lovely locks. It's like I lost a piece of my soul (almost) :( What do you think? :confused: Long(ish):

You can't really equate eaten calories with stored ones. All bodily processes burn some caloires into heat, therefore there will be lots of losses to make up for.

I've been meaning to ask for a while: What is the correct form for these? I checked ExRx but they only have a cable 1 arm row. With DBs, I find the movement a bit strange because the resistance is not 'opposite' you like with a cable, but more downwards because of gravity on the DB. If I put my...

Thanks guys. About sleep: how can you be sure how much is enough? Is feeling awake when you wake up a good enough indicator that you've slept enough? On days when I have to wake up at a certain time, I try to sleep for 8 hrs but I'm always sleepy when I wake up (perhaps because of my rude...

Lately I've been losing energy during my workouts. I normally workout for say 40 mins, and towards the end I feel a significant loss in energy, and it significantly affects my determination/motivation - ie "lemme just lift so I can get it over with". This is a terrible attitude to have, and I'm...

Slump I still feel like I'm in a slump. by lifts have been increasing, but not my muscles. I naturally carry some fat, but since I'm still young I think rather than trying to lose it, I'll put on more [lean] mass to carry the fat better :) Anyway as I said my muscles haven't been growing so...

Well.. after workouts you need a lot of protein, so many people take something that absorbs quickly like whey to quickly satisfy this need. But before sleeping, you'd want to take a slow-absorbing protein like casein (I think), to keep some protein in your [digestive] system for as long as...

What do you mean? Are the supps he's taking at the moment affecting them? Or did you just mean stay away from prohormones?

Sick again... I dunno what it is with me & getting sick, but it's starting to happen to damn often... :yell: It was more of the usual diarrhea, f*cked up stomach, fever etc. At least it didn't last long this time, my head's cleared up now & the diarrhea is disappearing (it better damn well...

Ah, if only it were that easy... Whenever things get technical she always retorts using her trusty: "Too much of anything is bad for the body". It's like her swiss army knife of comebacks. Anyway, she finally made an appointment yesterday with a nutritionist for a few weeks time, and though she...

Hmmm...:evil2: :D

Well, it's what they do best, eh? :rolleyes: Anyway, I'm almost 17 and I've been lifting for almost a year. My main aim is to increase muscle mass. I know that at my age I shouldn't be going on diets the same way you guys do (bulking/cutting phases etc), so I don't. Instead I just try to...

ok.. thanks for the replies! :thumb:

You see loads of ads/infomercials for so called EMS units that contract muscles using electrical pulses. Now I know that spot reduction doesn't work, and that using these products isn't give get you a 6-pack or anything, but can EMS work (at all)? I think: 'Hey, if the muscle is still...

Re: Re: Is this okay to do? I thought this was kinda irrelevant since you're doing a different routine every week(?). Or will your body still adapt to something like that (a routine like Gopro's)?

Yeah, lunges always tire the crap out of me & it might be dangerous to do them with a barball in case I suddenly have to drop the weight.

Is there ever a good reason to have that much sugar? Could it be beneficial (for muscle gains), or is it pretty much good for nothing? I used to take a weightgainer with a similar amount of sugar, but I changed since then cos it seemed like too much...

Maybe if you work out less often, your body will get used to the work/rest cycle and you won't need to workout every 2hrs. Just a suggestion :rolleyes: :)
