I always go for steak. It's completely brainless =) 1) Order the 10 oz steak (portion size is almost always on menu) 2) Go home later and open fitday.com 3) Add "steak" as food eaten 4) Select 10 oz or any other applicable portion size A couple other things - I noticed more menus...

This is quite encouraging... I think I'll pick up a copy of the UD2 sometime. However, I think you get better results at a higher LBM to begin with... I'm a measley 147.5 @13% ATM... I wonder how much I should worry about catabolic effects while on UD2 at this lower level....

lol yeah, I'm not exactly drinking for health benefits =P I saw a recent post here that summed up the negative effects of alcohol and wish I could remember were I saw it... Something to the effect that alcohol: 1) Is a diuretic - less water in body = bad news for the body especially during...

Yeah, I'm not sure about this life circuit equipment... Originally I was under the impression the con/eccentric phases could be completely independant weights. While they don't need to be the same, they are based on a set percentage. For example, concentric can be set to a certain weight but...

If you want to switch exercises every other workout like you mentioned here (dips and bench) then that's perfectly fine... I was doing that last cycle w/my lats - Sun - lat pull down Tues - cable rows Thurs - lat pull down Sun - cable rows ...and so on I'm not sure what others have done here...

Wow! what was your weight at 15% and then at 9%? did you lose lots of muscle?

I was speaking in relative terms... Kate and Andy summed it up quite nicely I'd say =)

I think that's great we have some ladies doing HST here... I heard Kate put it in good terms one time (paraphrasing): you can make your muscle bigger and you can drop your body fat - that's all. All those women trying to "tone" don't realize the benefit of hypertrophy! I've talked to...

I dont' have a whole lot to add other then the fact that I too am trying to improve posture. Also, I have found that practicing this for a longer period of time definitely makes it easier... Not only does good posture look better, but its better for you I believe... If you're trying to deal...

I don't see why this wouldn't be beneficial during SD... I don't have access to a hot tub, but my gym does have a suna and a steam room. Maybe I should consider using them every day during SD - 15 minutes ever day...

OK so maybe the topic I used is a little extreme. For one, I don't believe in getting drunk - just close enough ;-) But my question is how do you guys handle days off from the diet? Currently I track my calories thru fitday and usually average around 2400 kcal while my maintenance is...

Now you're talking my lingo =) Thanks Bryan!

...thats what I suspected. Does anyone know the volume of fluids lost per mg of caffeine? There must be some sort of studies on the diuretic effects of caffeine somewhere. I would think that if I pound 4 cups of "half and half" (50% caffinated) during the day, I'll be better off then...

Since you most likely won't be getting up during the night, aim for the "slower" protein. Sure you can have whey before bed, but it's quickly absorbed and thus does not provide a sustained source of amino acids. I'm not saying it's bad to have whey before bed, just include whole...

No loading phase for me becuase Bryan, Aaron, and other say it doesn't matter after a certain period... it builds up over time... I've been taking it well over a month so it should definately be built up by now... As far as dosage is concerned, I take 5g daily in the morning in my protein...

hmmm, this is serious. I've started taking creatine and was surprised that I have experienced 0 gains in almost a month... it could be due to other factors, but it wouldn't shock me if my daily high intake of creatine does affect it....

Wow that definately is a good deal... I took another look at the HDT brand and I relized its HDT+1 which means its 5lbs with one pound for free! Maybe It's worth trying out...

I recently noticed in my Bally's gym that they are selling a 5 lbs tub of HDT brand of protein for $30. I can get 5 lbs protein from planet depot for $28 w/shipping included tho... $2 savings I know, but I'm still saving =P The stuff from planet depot (Cytosport) is about 92 calories per...

Do we have any research articles on this subject??

I haven't read it yet, but I've had this book recommended: Eating on the run I'd really like to see a recipe database going for HSN too...
