Its alright NeverGG, its that time of year Omelets are pretty good, but I guess it depends what you are trying to do. They have a lot of protein and a lot of fat, so it may not quite be what you are after. I would think that soya or canola would be fine. Use skim / low fat milk.

As for the love handles, other than abs workouts once a week, I haven't really done anything. I do a little cardio now and then, but I think they are going just due to me carrying more muscle at the same weight. I was really stunned when I saw the difference! As for getting ripped, its going to be a while...im working full time this month and im overseas next month, so it will be a while before I can be super disciplined again Still, slow and steady works to!

well i feel like i've made enough progress that im now obligated to keep improving and see what i can do. still have some fat to lose before i get that nice runner's physique again... right now im doing about 64 miles a week, doing 12 miles at ~6 mins/mile 3 days a week, and 7 miles easy recovery the other 4 days. it's not an ideal schedule at all as far as improving my performance goes, but it's fitting my schedule for these last few weeks of the semester. gonna be on vacation in hawaii for 10 days over the winter break, probably won't get much running in then, but starting in 2010 i'll make a more organized attempt at a training regime. short term goals i think i've mentioned: a 4 mile road race in february and some track events at a local meet in april/may. not quite sure about goal times yet; gonna wait to see what kinda workouts i can finish come january.

Does anybody jump rope to do cardio? It's getting too cold outside to run, so I'm looking for a good indoors cardio alternative. I don't have a gym membership and don't plan to get one.

Question;

Since I've come to university, I've been working out with friends; they're a combination of PE majors, exercise science majors, and plain old hardcore gym rats. The majority of the exercises they do are for the upper body, and I'm cool with that - I can squeeze in legs on my own time, but it seems like no matter the exercise we're doing, I "feel it" mainly in my tricep and bicep, regardless of where the exercise is targetted (shoulder, chest, upper back, etc.)

Is this more likely to be a problem with my form, or just that my arms are THAT far behind where they should be? I'm 6'3, around 160 pounds and rather....long. I know I'm far from where I could/will be, but is this normal?

(I realize you probably can't tell me for sure, I'm just asking if this happens from time to time. And if you need any info, just ask.)

I did a 2:27 during a 5x200m freestyle swim set today. I was really surprised I broke 2:30 during the middle of a workout in the middle of the week. My swim coach (who is uber jacked) gave me this keeple supplement powder thing to put into my water. It's basically gatorade powder but better. it's probably just the placebo effect but I felt really good during the tough sets the past two days.
