Body weight is holding at 200lbs at 8% BF after hitting a high of 215lbs at 14% BF.

1 daykickinchicken (8716): The first thing you should do is take your honest measurements and get a set of calipers to check your actual body fat. Then remeasure periodically if you really want to know your progress. If you don't then you're just guessing and that's the biggest reason why people don't stick with it. I'd tell you that your split is all wrong but at this point as long as you're sticking with something than go for it. But if you really want to train...

5 daysToffie02 (1): Using marijuana doesn't make you an addictive person, what Miss Universe Catriona Gray answered in her Q&A question “I'm for being used in medical use but not so for recreational use. Because I think if people were to argue, 'what about alcohol and cigarettes?' So everything is good but in moderation." Some people used marijuana for medical purposes, as one of the users i found this...

Cardio Motivation

2 monthsfitnessfreaky (1): Motivation comes with dedication when you love what you are doing. Thats why you should choose a sport which you actually enjoy rather then just doing what is most effective. I can highly recommend BMX riding for your cardio workout, as the ability to always choose new routes or try different things. keeps this sport fresh - at least for me. In addition, there a lot of great bmx communities out there like the guys from here. The technerds there...

4 monthsDavidCripps (1): My dentist in Brampton is very concerned at the state of my teeth. I don't grind them, so he concluded that I must grind in my sleep and is fitting me for a mouthguard. Basically, he said that I have the wear and tear on my teeth that he would expect to see on someone over the age of 50 (I'm 36). It didn't occur to me until I was working out the next day that all this damage likely is due to clenching them while working out. I plan to buy a...

5 monthsYeags (1144): 6’1” and a 175 doesn’t sound like you could have to much fat. You can get stronger on a deficit but very hard. I’d Clean bulk to make it easier to build muscle. Smith machine bar once? Your gonna need to get stronger and to get stronger you need food. I wouldn’t worry about fat right now the more muscle you have the more fat you’ll burn... you want a lifestyle change .it takes time.

Can I Drink Tea?

6 monthsobiepowlowski (1): Hi, I used to drink tea when I was younger, now I drink coffee. I am a coffee-addicted person, however, I know that drinking tea before or after sport is an okay process. It is very good and worth for your body to drink more water/drinks per day especially when you get wet and lose a bit amount of water. I consider that you have to go ahead with this moment and don't worry.
