    Want to strengthen core but have back injury

    Protein and fiber during each meal. I'm sure you have the protein part down already. Veggies, obviously. Also, taper your carb intake as you get closer to bedtime. Only exception is if you work out at night - then your post workout meal should contain carbs, especially fructose. Many will...

    Want to strengthen core but have back injury

    Did you file a suit? Was it out of your control? Is the statute of limitations up in your state? It's none of my business, you don't need to respond. Just don't be 'nice'

    Want to strengthen core but have back injury

    Spot reduction is a myth. Only way to lose bodyfat is to lose it all over your body. How? Calorie deficit. Eat less. Burn more. But when you eat less, your body will compensate by burning less. And when you work out to burn more, your body will compensate by making you feel hungry. It is not...

    How much is too much?

    Too much is a misunderestimation. Two general rules, however, are (1) the more volume you do with your resistance workouts the more food, sleep and time off you need (2) the stronger you get, i.e. closer to your genetic potential, the more rest you would need to avoid over-training. There are...

    Question about gaining weight

    I would ditch your current routine. I also think you are doing way to many leg exercises. Someone mentioned it already - the simplest way to go about this is to do Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training by Rippetoe. 3 sets across of 5 reps for Low Bar Below Parallel Squat, Press, Bench...

    Daily Routine or Meeting Women

    There are people trying to help each other here, whether you are here for that or not. I am meeting women. But I am not having success and am getting conflicting advice. It's making me confused and unsure about everything. Last week, I went out to meet girls at the mall. Things didn't work...

    Initial Conversation - Fun or Screening?

    Have you considered this the other way around? "She has to show me SHE is interesting and make me interested in her first. Otherwise, why would I spend time with her. Then she gets to find out if I meet her needs." I just want a reality check. For all the times I have read "be the prize," it...

    Daily Routine or Meeting Women

    To answer your question, no my routine does not prevent me from leaving the house. I have an office job at a small accounting firm. I am a volunteer jv wrestling coach at a local high school and I enjoy playing card games - poker, bridge, pinochle. Besides that, I just hang out with my friends...

    Initial Conversation - Fun or Screening?

    that's the problem. i don't see meeting people as being fun. i don't really even care to make new friends, the ones i got are plenty. i can be entertaining and fun and all that. but i don't care to do be that when i just meet a girl for no reason. i'm kind of goal oriented, and i don't believe...

    Daily Routine or Meeting Women

    Another question I had was about how you should meet women. I've read that you should build a life and meet women where ever you go. That's great, but I have a life and do things I like. I just don't meet women like that. And I'm not down for changing my routine and hobbies just to meet women...

    Initial Conversation - Fun or Screening?

    Last night, I hung out with some friends of a buddy of mine. The girls we were with, although physically attractive, were pretty boring and typical. I was not into their kind of drunken party lifestyle at all. I don't want to spend my time talking/dating just any old hot chick. Especially one...

    dead lifts help

    the regular deadlift is most definitely a better work out. if you choose to do them, warm up with 3 or 4 sets. use a double pronated (overhand) grip for your warm ups. then go heavy on your actual set. do 4-6 reps. only dead lift once or twice a week. avoid doing lots of volume (many sets and...

    I'm trying to bulk up but all of the weight is going to my belly, HELP!

    Without you providing more information: 1) You need to do real strength training. 2) If you find yourself getting fat, then whatever you eat cut down your daily calorie intake 150-200 calories. Check your progress after 2-3 weeks. 3) Eat lots of protein. For the rest of the calories, find out...

    Overdoing my back?

    If you are going heavy on the deadlift, you must keep the volume low (high intensity, low sets and reps). And 1-2 times a week max. For everything else (including deadlifts) make sure you keep good form.

    What Exactly is Confidence?

    I'm not sure you read my post. I have a life. I like it a lot. I am happy, but am becoming frustrated by my lack of success with women. I have friends, work, activities all that. Also, I know enough about myself to know that I don't care to make sure my "prescence FILLS THE WHOLE ROOM" or...

    What Exactly is Confidence?

    What Exactly is Confidence? I've read that it is supposed to be a belief in yourself that you can do things and that is what women want, but that's never worked for me. I'm successful, and I don't doubt my abilities. I believe in myself, work hard, and persist when facing difficulties in all...
