You all picked Vancouver at least. I am pleased. heh. Ottawa (simply a better team) Jersey (experience, pure and simple) Dallas (I applaud the Ducks, but they won't do it twice...) Vancouver (hell, I'd say they'd beat the mid-80's Oilers, but that's just because they're my team, heh.)

Just got back from watching my Vancouver Canucks embarass the St. Louis Blues. See what overconfidence gets you? A major arse whooping, Canadian style :cool: Any Blues fans want to grovel at our team's feat now, and beg forgiveness? heh. Seriously though, great series, and *full* respect to...

right...so 85% of max HR is a good one to shoot for? I'm not looking for a totally precise number, but I'm 21, and in quite good shape...personally I'd say anything over 150 or 160 bpm's is working it pretty hard...

Right, high intensity cardio is the way to go for helping with fat loss. I have hardly any, but a little more definition might be a good idea. So - 20 mins, 30 minutes tops at high intensity, I understand that... But *how* high intensity? Is there a particular heart rate/BPM area that might...

So I suppose aiming for 4-6 reps with heavy weights would be the best range to shoot for? And thanks for the "un-biased view", heh. I'll probably sign up :0)

Once again, great info guys. I really sincerely appreciate it. And as to my 1-3 rep, or 4-6 rep question from my first post in this thread? And about the membership - it's worth it? Cheers again, couldn't do it without ye :thumb:

hmmm... #1. I suppose that information is on this site somewhere? I've heard HIIT mentioned by people here, but have yet to discover it detailed around here. #2. Those limited exercises target all major muscle groups as effectively as individualized exercises? I never knew that... that's not...

Right, I've more or less worked it out that I've been getting my routine more or less right for the last few months from the advice I've received here - thanks to all of you who helped. The little extras I wasn't aware of are sure to get me the extra edge I wanted. Only two questions I have for...

Been reading through the archives section of this website, and I've seen articles on both L-glutamine and glutamine. Now both are described quite similarly - they seem to me to be the same - but I was wondering if L-glutamine is some derivitave of glutamine, if they're more or less the same, or...

And by excess weight - well I got up to 152 pounds once, which is 22 more than I am now. But I certainly didnt appear very muscular, or even fat for that matter. I tend to (at least used to and think I still do) have a fast metabolism, so this took well over a year. I felt stronger - I could...

appreciate the detail, nice to see a great layout. and by "maxing my weight" I meant always striving to lift the heaviest weights I can. Other than that, you've more or less outlined what I need to know, though finding an appropriate diet will take a fair ammount of searching through here, any...

more or less that's what I was starting to learn... thanks for the input - quite valuable! cheers.

Thanks for the feedback, I've heard similar things before. I've seen dieticians and trainers, and read enough examples here, so I know what constitutes a proper diet. Point is, I'm simply looking to work on my defintion, and what I should do while actually in the gym to achieve somewhat more...

Right, brief little spiel about me. I'm tiny - and fully grown at 21 I'm sure. I'm 5'7, and 130 pounds soaking wet. To give you an idea of how small my bone structure is, the circumference of wrist - not diameter *circumference* is barely 6 inches. I've met 13 year old girls with bigger bone...

cheers. Thanks for the advice mate.

I've heard of course about the required - or at least desired - "insulin spike" to help with the absorbtion of creatine. I've used creatine before, but normally I'd take it with 2 8-ounce glasses of warm water and that's it. It never seemed to do too much for me, but I never took it within...

My Vancouver Canucks are still going to pull off first, I'm sure :0)

I wrote another message under my creatine question in the supplements section if you ever get a chance to read it... Thanks again, I feel I've finalyl found somewhere useful. heh.

Well, of late, I've been compiling everything into mostly upper, or lower body days. I mostly focus on upper body, as my legs get a heck of a workout from hockey. Upper body, I start on pecs, generally straight benchpresses first, the bar plus a 45-pounder on either side, and I can handle...

I hope not, but thank you for the input, the people here are very helpful. Thanks for all the advice.
