9--> By this definition plenty of my HST sessions are also cardio as a lot of exercises are alternated with very little rest resulting in a permanent increase in heart rate and respiratory frequency, or whatever the term is. But anyway, this is not really important. Bottom line is, at least if...

Ummmm, I'm on around 2700-2800 at a weight of 180-182 pounds, I went as low as 2500 on some days but usually not more than two or three per week....

I probably should have said aerobic exercise, but anyway I didn't do any untill a few weeks ago, so I in fact dieted for 4 months without any cardio, like I said in my first post.

I'll have to chime in and leave my pice of empirical contribution to this debate. I mantain my belief that cardio is overrated as I've lost 11 Kg, with better muscle preservation than ever, 11-12 cm on my waist gained a huge amount of definition all over my body without a single cardio session...

It wouldn't hurt to increase your protein, even to double it. How's your total daily protein intake?

I was wondering that also.....

Should be ok then.

About your routine, how does the weekly total volume and volume per session relates to what you have been previously doing?

Looking very good. Great quad development. I like your articles too, I read some stuff before in that site that didn't impress me that much but your articles were all good.

I've been negotiating going on a similar protocol and when I start it I'll do the overfeeding for the 24 hours after my workout, period which might not coincide with one single day, and then fast for the next 24 hours till right after my workout. Are you getting double mantenance calories on...

I've been doing great with 4 meals per day going at the most for 5 and a half hours without eating anything. I also feel much more saciated and it's great not to have to worry so much about eating every three hours. Sometimes I eat five meals though.

Actually from what I've seen I think it's considered normal. I struggle to keep it above 6 and it stays there most of the time. The PH test scale ends at 6 so I'm kind of guessing but based in the color progression it should be around five. I'm using around 5 gr of combined potassium and...

One thing that I've found in my frequent pissings into my fish tank PH test solution is that the buffering effect is very quick and short lived. If I take in the morning at night my urine will be below five. My evening dose usually has an effect that lasts till the morning though.

Ah! Are you using citric acid as a replacement for acetic acid?

I'm using the exact same mix as you minus the citric acid. Can you explain to me what's it's role in it? Does it also work as a buffer? I can get easy at my local pharmacy. I can't say I felt anything amazing from buffering minerals but at least my urine's PH is now at more reasonable levels...

To my knowlegde the protein content of the white is roughly the same as the yolk, the difference is the fat content.

Not if it goes through the molecular destilation filtering process. Look around and find a good quality one, it's worth the money. If it lists cholesterol on the label then it hasn't gone through it as this process also gets rid of cholesterol.

Yes there is. Fish oil gives you the EPA/DHA directly while with flax you're dependent on the conversion rate from ALA to EPA/DHA which is far from optimal. It's better than nothing though.

Keeping bodyfat low is diet related and weightlifting also increases your cardio condicioning, particulary if you use short rest periods.

Didn't know that. I guess that softens things up a bit but after the nitrofuran thing I don't trust meat producers anyway. :confused:
