i wouldn't mess with it personally
try the EC stack if you're really serious about getting a low low bf%, that should be more than enough
why do you want it in the first place? if that's you in your avy you're already pretty lean, a little discipline and maybe the EC and you'll be shredded.

Like I've said, intermittent fasting is a meal frequency plan and results vary from people to people based on how much they eat. Regardless, if you eat too much food you'll still gain fat. It's just harder to eat so much when you have so little time to eat your daily calories.
It's allowed me to lose a bit of body fat without much effort because I don't overstuff myself. I'm still fine tuning my diet, but I do much better now than I did when I started a little over a year ago.
I started off with the Warrior Diet, then moved more towards water fasting by going for 24 hours twice a week. Now I don't have a fixed schedule as much, and I am very flexible with eating.

I just recently started doing more compound lifts and did 5 sets at 185 for 6 reps each and when I was done I was sweating like a pig. Thats good right? I didnt feel my back as much as the first few times doing deadlifts I did after working out.

I've never sweat this much before in my life. No exaggeration.
I think it's this jack3d stuff.
My entire shirt was literally saturated with sweat.
Disgusting, but

I'm halfway done with my clen cycle
2 week on/ 2 week off / 2 week on pyramiding up and down
A lot of people report a lot of sweat and that you get hot as the side effects but those were minimal in my case. I wouldn't say its amazing by any means but with diet and cardio you can lose 1-2lb more a week than usual.

You're lucky to live in New Zealand. From what I've heard, most of your cows are grass-fed, so you get really high quality milk. I'm not sure whether or not they homogenize it or not. But seriously, if I were you, I'd take advantage of the milk.Originally Posted by nealraj006
GOMAD.. its doable, but I think the balance of PVL or Serious Mass by ON has better ingredients, but of course whole foods all the way. I just think it would be a good experiment to see if I can gain any weight using the gainer, i'd love to just have my shaker, perhaps take half a serving with my breakfast, then the other half at lunch or something. I'd eventually get back to a whole foods diet anyway.
Thanks for the explanation, I think 5 reps is the way to go as far as strength gains go.
Im not too sure on the differences between the two programmes, apart from the obvious number in reps - I think the majority of the programmes are based on the same principles? 2 set workouts, all compounds, increase the weight each session and keep trying until you fail
Is there a difference between 3reps and 5? I guess when your at a heavier, challenging weight the 3 repition scheme would be easier to hack as opposed to 5.
Starting Strength is 3 sets of 5 reps, just for reference.
I'll read up on Starting Strength and see what I can decipher.
Yup, we homogenise our Milks.. theres so many cows here its ridiculous. You can get like the standard milk, trim, extra trim, super milk, rice milk, soy etc.. I guess we're spolied we don't take advantage of it ourselves..

But all of my Bike dudes, are there any pedometers (cheap yet efficient) that I can use to chart my distances? It would be nice to know how far I have gone. .
As in a cycling computer?
If so, there are tons of them out there, unfortunately the good ones aren't cheap. A good one will run around $100+ , but you could probably get a decent one for around $50.
Cateye is a great brand and seems to make some pretty good quality ones.

You're on the right track regarding cardio: HIIT (whether it be stairs, cross trainer, treadmill, bike, sprints etc..) is a good way to get leaner.Originally Posted by Fog Raw
Thanks. How about exercises to get leaner?Originally Posted by I3
Squat + DeadliftOriginally Posted by Fog Raw
^^ Hey, I have the same problem... My upper body is huge compared to my legs. Are there any exercises/workouts that might help balance it out a little? I seldom ever work on my legs, only when I go for some jogs/sprints.
Also, what would be the best way for me to burn fat? I've got some fat around my waist and neck area. Sorry NT I need some schooling on fitness...
If anyone can help me out, greatly appreciated
Secondly, more importantly, you will have more success becoming lean with a proper diet. Its not just cutting out the junk food, it also invovles, eating the right types of food, frequency of meals and portion sizes etc.
Thirdly, to build your legs up, definitely include compounds into your workouts: Squats, Deadlifts, Bench and Military Press. These are full body exercises and when combined together, you'll get a more efficient workout, especially if your an athlete and your looking for that extra strength or mass.
So if you can incorporate those 3 key factors into your lifestyle, you'll definitely get leaner, its not rocket science yeah. Eat well, workout hard, sleep, rest and you'll get to where you want to be.
A lot of people also seem to forget perhaps the most important factors of all is consistency and patience.

I got a 30 day membership at the Sport & Health Club in my area. This place has a pool w/ lap lanes and pretty much every machine i can think of. I'm not out of shape now or anything but I dont have any direction on what muscles i train so i just randomly hit the machines and free weights and do a sort of full body routine. Can someone recommend a sample schedule of what groups of muscles i should train together? And does anyone here swim for cardio? I'm thinking about mixing that in instead of just running.
also what foods are good for building muscle? i've just been eating a lot of chicken

I've been on a pretty strict diet. Trying to eat healthy with each morning oatmeal and yogurt, lunch usually a chicken salad or turkey sandwich. I do mix it up and don't really eat the same thing everyday. I've been trying to eat fish like salmon and tuna at least twice a week, but like the above poster I've been eating alot of grilled and baked chicken breasts. Also, I haven't drank a soda in a solid couple of months and rarely drink sugary beverages. Can somebody post their nutritious diets that have been allowing them to see results and gains. I believe i have a good general sense of what it requires to fuel my body in the right way but I'm obviously no nutritionist. Help would be appreciated by someone who actually has it down to a science.
