Well waddya know, I was right.. :D

Hmm not sure about the exact nutritional breakdown of carob, but I'm pretty sure it's loaded with sugar. The syrup they make out of it is one of the sweetest things I know - which means carobs themselves are very likely high in sugar.

Are you using a wide enough grip on the bar? According to ExRx, the close-grip bench press is for triceps, so maybe you should widen your grip if you haven't tried doing so yet... sorry if thi is obvious to ya! :D

All I get is a black page with an IM logo. Probably cos I'm using Opera browser instead of that crappy IE :thumb:

Well the main time I use oil for cooking is for a light stir-fry, generally chicken cubes and chopped vegetables. I don't really know how hot it gets, but obviously stir-frying doesn't take that long (maybe 5/7 mins). Well, by "Good for Cooking" I really mean health-wise. I started wondering...

Well, I have no idea what those are, but this is what it says on the can: "Pure & Simple" Canola Oil - Cholesterol Free - Non-stick Cooking Spray. Then: Pure & Simple is the convenient cholesterol free way to stop food sticking. Pure & Simple contains canola oil and is free of animal fats...

What would you guys say is the best kind of oil to use in heated foods? I know you shouldn't heat flax seed oil. My mother recently bought canola oil in spray which is 'designed' for frying; would you say this is a good oil to use, or would something else like olive oil be better? Also, does the...

:p Hehe... I meant as in a bowl of cereal with milk. D'oh :D

Well I can't really say that my allergies to milk are serious - I used to drink it daily for years until I recently found out that avoiding dairy made my blocked nose [etc..] noticibly better. And if whey is that low in lactose, then I shouldn't notice much of a big change. What I was mainly...

When cutting (or even maintaining a low BF%), you want your body to gets it's energy from the fat stored around it. By giving it sugars, your body says "hey, why should I bother burning all that fat when the energy I want is right here?" So it uses the sugar (or any higher-GI food), and puts the...

Because I'm finding it hard to eat all the protein I ought to, I've been thinking about starting to buy & use protein supplements (whey is the main one I know of; I need to get a bit more educated ;) ). One thing that concerns me is that my body does not really get along milk - it gives me a...

I take it you mean "bodyfat" as opposed to "boyfriend". LOL :D

Haha! Not only is it taken, but it's porn site! lol :laugh: We do have good ideas, we just don't want to waste them on you :D

I've noticed that my left triceps are stronger & bigger than my right - I know this by a) how tired I get doing the same exercise of each, an b) actual size when flexed. What should I be careful about to equal them out? Should increase the weight (or reps) slightly on the weaker arm? Or should I...

Check out this link. It contains explanations of all the different work-out techniques - you may it useful! :thumb:

Because sugar hinders the burning of fat, I've stopped drinking my average of 2 cups of coffee a day (plain, black coffee tastes like ass). So would it be alright if I replaced the sugar with sweetener? If yes, then what type of sweeteners are best? Or are sweeteners pretty much just as bad as...

So what can you guys tell me about sleep? Does it play a vital role in muscle regeneration? Can [over/under]sleep affect your metabolism? (and F-up your diet)? Is "early to bed, early to rise" the best advice to follow for all lifestyles? Or is simply a waste of time? Well, whatever you have to...

I've meaning to ask this, and I guess this is the best place to post it: How much cardio is considered a little/lot? I myself do 10 mins of rowing after each workout session (I know it would be better to have separate cardio days, but I don't have the time :) .) I do cardio mostly to help fat...

Err it was a joke, ie there's nothing he likes more than sex. D'oh.
