I had "genetically high" cholesterol, believe me I'm not unaware. High cholesterol "runs in my family", so I was tested when I was 33 years old and it was already high enough to medicate. It dropped to enviable levels after losing weight on the (high-saturated-fat) Atkins diet, where more than...

Not only what are you eating, but please go to FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal, enter the food you typically eat in a day, and post up your macros (total calories, grams protein, grams carb, grams fat)

Jesse - dammit, I can't rep you again. <fumes, shakes tiny fist in rage> Lynnlynn - PCA, totally. workinglegs - I'ma build you a new thread: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/training/144926-help-me-put-some-size.html

No worries - if the thread continues along this line, I'll split it and start a new one. Describe your current training, and your diet, in detail. Are you gaining weight? How many calories a day do you consume.

working, describe why you think you have a genetic flaw that precludes proper leg development.

brundel, the cholesterol you eat has so little impact upon your blood levels it's laughable. You'd be better off ditching fructose.

Heavy deads, deep, heavy squats and lots of food will do you a world of good.

I think as long as I was with someone who was also an athlete I'd be fine. Put it this way - I don't personally find a marathon runner's body appealing, but if my guy were a marathoner and totally into his sport (trained well, worked out to help his running, read good material about how to...

I train for myself. Hubby's not jacked - he's a mountain biker. He's got some nice muscle going on, but he's 5'11 and 170 lbs. I'd have trouble with a morbidly obese guy, or a bonerack, but outside of these, it's really not that big of a deal to me. A guy who hated himself - THAT would be a...

workinglegs - neither of us was buff when we met. He was a skinny-fat mountain biker with a permanent little tummy, and I was a fat university student. I outweighed him when we married.

Kenny, I'm a chick.

Exactly. I married a nerd. I'm a nerd. Now we're fit and muscular. And nerds. :)

(I'll suggest some adjustments to your workout after we get diet sorted out btw)

Hi there - we have Celiac in the family; I know it well. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it does suck. You said you have acid reflux. Do you also have IBS btw? What fats do you consume, and are there any fats you must avoid? Also, do you understand how steroids/prohormones will...

Barcode scanner! That's AWESOME!

It's fine - just fitday your day, and eat as much of any of your daily foods as you like, given your calories and macros.

You're not fat. You're my height and I outweigh you. I'm a middle-aged woman, and very lean. Please transition now into maintenance, and in two weeks, increase your daily calories by 100 for the first week, and another 100 thereafter until your gains stop. I would aim to gain 20 lbs over about...

Unless you're a rank novice and/or very fat, this won't happen to any appreciable extent without gear. Sorry. If you do this on slightly-below maintenance, your biceps will, over time, become smaller. Up to you. You and me both. 20g portions? Please tell me you're pulling his leg. To the...

ThreeGigs, he's bulking, not cutting. rezkon, you weighed in 2.6 kg heavier and think you gained that much fat overnight? Really?

Excellent posts here from Sassy, Mrs V and brundel - although I disagree with brundel's suggestion to toss the yolks. Eat the yolks, they'll help you grow and are loaded with nutrition, including healthy fats and calories. To the OP, FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal will help you...
