I've spent the last four months working my ass off. Strict diet, great exercise. Lost 40 lbs. and my abs are almost totally visible and I've gained some muscle. Mixed in cardio and can run 4 miles without too much trauma (unless it's hot).... Went to a friend's bachelor party last weekend...

The actual store processing portion anyway. Looks like it has been for a while. Anyone have the inside scoop? Anyone have an equally effecient and price friendly place to order from? Avantlabs I guess?

I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right. I'm still losing like .5 to a lb. a week without burning off too much muscle.... But these love handles seem to be going away SO SLOWLY! Is that normal? I really don't want to tinker with CKD and all that uber-low carb stuff. The diet is good, and...

I've got I bet maybe 7 pounds of fat left to lose to have highly defined abs, and I'd like to have it done in about a month (I've already lost 30 pounds of fat over the last 4 months) I've been having a large cup of coffee with a single half-and-half micro-container, and some sugar substitute...

Does any serious trainer recommend this herb to naturally boost testosterone, or is this BS?

I've been reading but It's not sticking... If I'm still trying to lose love handles is Dextrose a good idea post w/o? Right now my post w/o shake is 40g Optimum Whey (2 scoops) in 16 oz with 1 tsp flax. I usually eat a few spoonfulls of brown rice with it. Should I just add a banana? Dextrose?

I've updated my before and after pics here: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=17366 Before pics were taken February 11, and after pics taken this morning. I'm pretty tall so I hide that fat pretty well I discovered. Likewise adding mass takes a long time. Still...

In Early February I finally decided to change my life after letting myself go for quite a few years. For a skinny guy I'd managed to pack on quite a bit of weight, and muscle tone was virtually non-existent. Since February I've been adhering closely to the periodization workout in the "Body...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

I usually have Salmon once a week for dinner and maybe the next day's lunch. When I eat it, since it's high in healthy fat, I usually skip the Flax Seed oil dose I'd usually take with that meal.... Is my approach logical? Or should Salmon be treated more like fattier cuts of beef and had only...

Two newbie questions: 1. When doing 4 sets of 8-12 reps of an exercise with the goal of course being to grow..... Say you do the first, then struggle to pump out 8 the next time. On the third set you can barely do five..... At this point do you: Simply do as many as you can of the heavy...

In about two and a half months....I've gone from 214 to 189 lbs., and I've added some considerable mass....thanks in a large part to the diet and nutrition tips from three people here in this forum: w8lifter, Dr. Pain, and GoPro. Here's the before and after pics. Just wanted to say......THANKS...

Stupid of me ...I felt it was too tight when I started doing Squats this morning....and I managed to pull the erector muscles in the middle of my back around my spine..... Ice goes on first, heat the rest of the day? I've forgotten the effective treatment?

My traps are sad. Just sad. I've been doing 3 sets of anywhere from 12-20 shrugs to see what happens, but it feels like I'm not isolating them enough..... Are dumbell rows better? Should I be doing both? Is there another, better exercise?
