I'm pretty sure I'm eating too many shakes during the day.... I'm looking for the perfect real food alternative for: 16 oz. water, 1 TSP Flax, 30g (scoop and a half) whey protein. to be eaten around 8 at night. Looking to not have to really cook it much.... Maybe lowfat cottage cheese...

Is a "refeed" basically a restrictive "cheat meal"? I read a lot about Leptin elsewhere, but here it's not talked about as much?

I'm pretty new but I can tell you that some here will tell you to: Ditch the breads Ditch the milk Add some protein to that post workout Creatine shake Add some Flax seed oil or Fish oil to meals and ditch any mayo...

I've had some neck problems in the past, and for some reason shrugs just haven't been working for me to tire out my traps. Yesterday I did several sets of wide-grip overhand pullups and today my traps are sore for the very first time, so I must have done something right. I'm continuing doing...

I do deadlifts, shrugs, and upright rows already. Remember I only have dumbells at the moment though. Do palm down lateral raises build the traps? Like I said the end of my collarbone at the shoulder juts out and I'm looking to cover that up.

Wish I lived closer to the water.... Jet Skiing is a GREAT leg workout too.....

Ok well I picked up a bottle of this from our pal Mike, and it actually tastes a little bit better than the regular type (Great for those meals when you need to do a shot. :) ) I've read up and done basic research which seems to suggest it's a nice added anti-oxidant, but is there really any...

Add another vote for Optimum 100%. Cheap, mixes really easily.

Can someone please give me maybe links to some alternative trap building exercises besides shrugs and farmer's walk? It would seem using light weight dumbell lifts with straight arms and palms facing down would do good things?

Other than maybe some light soreness when I switch things up, I don't find myself getting that sore anymore.... That kind of soreness for me only happens when I'm not working out frequently enough. I went water-skiing last summer for 9 hours. The next TWO weeks I was like a cripple.....

I'm making good gains, but my traps are virtually non-existent, and the end of my collar bone at the top of my shoulder juts out with no muscle covering it up..... That's underdeveloped Traps, yes? Mixed in with my regular routine I've been doing 3 sets of 10 reps of heavy weight dumbell...

Well, trying for the Six pack, which I've never had....and after losing 27 lbs. of fat, it's starting to show, but the fat loss is also starting to slow, so as I've said in past threads, I'm now tweaking.... I usually have a Whey Protein and Flax oil shake around 9, and a Casein (Micellean...

I usually eat them.... Some Yams have more brown spots than others, I usually just cut those off, wash it well, then cook it in the oven..... They're a little tougher sometimes than regular potatoes, but they're good fiber!

Heh....I'm afraid we might get....distracted....and I'd get a totally different type of workout, but I'll try that. :D I did notice that running hills did add some mass to the front of my calves this past winter. Maybe I'll throw some more hills into my run.... But I should be able to add...

Thanks, I'll up the weight and lower the reps.... I'm working out at home with an old soloflex (for dips and pullups and just general use of the bench itself ) and a ton of dumbells for everything else.... I just use a heavy dumbell, stand on a weight plate, and cross the un-used leg over the...

Been working out and most of my body has seen some improvement, but my Calves seem to be growing awfully slow. Diet is ok, and I'm working Calves with 3 or 4 sets of 20-25 reps of pretty heavy weighted dumbells each week....at the end the Calves burn like a mother.... Is this effective over...

Could very well by a very light form of gynecomastia, or an enlargement of male breast tissue. Happens in younger guys a lot, but can happen in older men too....not life threatening or anything, though once in a great while it can be a hint that other slight hormone problems exist.... It's...

Was reading something about "behind the back" shrugs with dumbells? What exactly is this....just holding the dumbells behind the buttocks and shrugging? Is there a difference? I've also read that circle shrugs can do damage. True?

These are frozen and purchased in bulk...I think it's very likely they're farm raised. Like I said, I only have it once a week and skip the flax for that meal..... I just don't like the "fisher" and lighter fishes. I like Mahi-Mahi, and that's considerably lower in fat.....
