My friend saw this and told me it was a waste and that I should just take 1 scoop. How much protein do you guys take post workout? I hear that your body can only process so much protein at once. So I always use 1 scoop of protein mixed in with creatine which fixes to about 20g. Its all a big unknown thing though it seems -_-. So I end up taking 1 protein shake a day and 3 meal replacement shakes spread out. Also has anyone Biked a very far distance here. Like...300 miles worth over the course of a few days? If so what was the training/equipment/mentality you underwent when/if you did? | ||

My body got used to it pretty quickly. Of course 300miles in the same amount of days would be quite a bit more, but as long as the track is mostly flat, it should be failry doable. Good clothes are a must though, definitely a wind-jacket, it can be very cold without one. And you need tons of water, obviously. I am trying to decide what all i need for my bike trip from PA to DC and I am definetly getting a pair of padded shorts and probably some very light jacket since I plan on doing in it in Mid June. I am just trying to see what all essentials I will need since I will be trying to travel very light due to it being a 350ish mile ride. And It will be by far the longest I've ever rode. | ||

Pulled 225kg from blocks, for reps today. Low blocks, so basically it was harder than from the ground because it takes away the leg drive. Been training everyday this week adding a shit load of extra workouts for abs and grip. I'm still enraged with my 242kg failed attempt of last week. I will pull 250kg before summer and 275kg before the end of the year. Mark my words ;( btw, BW is dropping a bit these days... I'm under 80kg. | ||

But there's better exercises for most poeple to be using that hit both the biceps AND other muscles like pullups, rows, etc. | ||

It's a lot like leg press or any other isolation. It's just that most people spend hours doing curls and leg press rather than doing something more useful, like squats or chin-ups. | ||

I try to drop weight, and I have plenty control. But every now and then, perhaps once a week, I like some good quality pot on my saturday. Problem is, my appetite goes through the fucking roof. So I plan on just eating one good meal, but how do I satisfy my need for more after a big meal when high? Notice, I dont smoke often, so when I smoke, it says KABAM. Really fun though. Any suggestion on what I can eat that doesnt make my week of weight loss go into nothing? Yes I could just stop hitting the bong in this weight loss period, but its really fun you know Was hoping for some magical food/sugar that I could eat. | ||

Don't see how you can overeat on plain chicken and broccoli. | ||

I think the point is it's almost impossible to eat too many calories on chicken and broccoli. 500g of skinless chicken breasts is equal to roughly 600 calories, while 500g of brocoli is equal to roughly 175 calories. That is to say, 1kg split between chicken and brocoli will give most people roughly a third of their caloric limits. You'd have to eat insane amount of chicken and broccoli to go over your calorie limits. In case those numbers don't mean much to you, compare it to 500g of Domino's pizza (roughly 5 pieces) which is 1350 calories and much easier to eat. | ||

Just don't eat/order junk, and you should be fine. | ||
