  1. Got Back pain, be sure its Back pain and not kidneys shutting down.

    Um, yeah, go see a doctor ASAP! That sounds like kidney issues. There are simple tests to determine kidney function.

  2. Any long term post jab side affects…(serious answers please)

    I can't quantify it but I feel like I've lost a step at the gym. I had the J&J single shot 21 Oct and it kicked my butt over that weekend. But, my cardio times have not been the same since. I've lost about 90 seconds on my 5K times, it just seems like it takes longer to get up to pace. Could be...

  3. What's your diet and exercise plan?

    First, you hit the nail on the head! Everything revolves around nutrition. You have to fuel your body with the correct foods or you'll be spinning your wheels. That being said, I'm surprised that your caloric intake is so low. Have you calculated your RMR? I know mine is 1550 calories and...

  4. What's your diet and exercise plan?

    Let me start by saying this: I'm in maintenance mode now in so far as I'm not trying to lose weight but I am still progressing in my workout routine. I'm 5'7", 145 lbs, 17%BF. My nutrition breakdown is 2200-2500 calories per day broken down to 1/3 split between protein, fat and carbs averaged...

  5. Let’s talk Keto

    I'm going to say this again: STOP with the fad diets! If you want to lose fat and be healthy, you need to adopt a SUSTAINABLE lifestyle. The problem with fad diets is, well, people can't stick to them. And, when they fall off the wagon, the pounds come back with a vengeance. It's called...

  6. Let’s talk Keto

    Exactly. I think you made my point. You need to take a holistic view. Eat well and exercise. It works. Those studies I mentioned cited so many variables that it would be easy to discard a segment because it didn't seem to factor in, but EVERYTHING factors in! You can extrapolate whatever...

  7. Let’s talk Keto

    YES! This happens more so from people believing that they have to drink 3 gallons of water per day when they diet. DON'T!! Too much water will flush very important minerals from your system, and your body NEEDS those nutrients.

  8. Let’s talk Keto

    No, it's true. It's the laws of thermodynamics and conservation of energy. Those who switch to a pure Keto diet do lose weight but it's not all fat, you lose muscle mass which is denser. One of my mentors is currently going through college to become a physical rehabilitation therapist...

  9. Let’s talk Keto

    I'll just say this: Whatever eating plan works for you to maintain a HEALTHY weight and allows you to have a good quality of life, USE IT! 90% of our health issues are self inflicted. You can blame the government or fast food joints or whatever but what it comes down to is your own personal...

  10. Let’s talk Keto

    Well, it just so happens that meat is a great source of protein! I try to get 60% of my calories from protein, 25% from carbs and 15% from beneficial fats. I'm doing my best to get the message out that it's not about weight loss, you have to start thinking in terms of fat loss. Almost...

  11. Let’s talk Keto

  12. Back pain

    Here's a good part of my stretching routine.

  13. Back pain

    That's actually a lower back/core strengthening exercise. It engages a lot of muscles at once, especially lateral balance muscles. You hit on a huge point though, stretch your hamstrings and by extension, glutes. So many nerves run through there that if they are tight, you will have issues...

  14. Back pain

    Radiating pain indicates a pinched nerve. It's possible you pulled something in your back. The body's response to injury is generally swelling around the injury. Since nerves run through the muscle tissue, the enlarged muscle fibers could be squeezing the nerve. So, step 1: take an...

  15. Gym Rats and Beefcakes... what supplements do you recommend ?

    I don't think it matters per se'. I like to minimize set up time, changing weights and bench configuration. I'll generally do a full 3 or 4 sets of one exercise before changing to another.

  16. Gym Rats and Beefcakes... what supplements do you recommend ?

    Your eating plan will do more than any supplement you can take. EVERYTHING starts in the kitchen! Record what you eat, religiously. Pay attention to your macros more than calories. Adjust those to align with your goals. Look up both bulking and cutting diets and understand the nuances...

  17. Let’s see your home gyms

    I was going to a gym 6 days a week and it was one of the last ones closed. By the time I realized I needed to build up a home gym, everything became scarce! I wound up with a resistance band setup and a couple of improvised kettleballs. Still, do it right, you can keep what you've gained...

  18. Pain in the nuts

    ...ummm... :confused: Yeah, I suffered (and I do mean SUFFERED) from testicular torsion once. Holy mother of all that's holy! Good luck at the DR! Hopefully it's a mild hernia but even so, you'll have to get stitched up.

  19. Fitness Past 50

    The heaviest thing you'll ever lift is your ass off of the couch. I'll be 50 this year. I've been diagnosed with bladder cancer but I've been clean for 9 months! Although that will give you a new perspective on life, it wasn't what kicked me in the butt to get back into shape. Two bulging...
