McD i'll order fillet-o-fish only, but i dont think i'll be ordering that anymore for my next visit Btw do you guys use standard weighing scale or the ones with body fat/water measurement thinggy? Price diff for manual to digital to the body fat/water function is a huge gap, but worth the investment? Meh, i just use those ordinary digital weighing scale. |

QUOTE(alien9 @ Jul 6 2012, 11:57 PM) Buy the normal scale and a fat caliper to calculate body fat percentage. It's cheaper that way plus BEI machine (the digital scale with measurement thingy) gave not so accurate measurement. I have a manual and digital scale at home, both says 75.5kgs but if i weigh myself at the gym, i weigh 78kgs... Which one should i follow? Gym weighing scales, they're the ones with the ermm, you know, the one where you can measure your height at the same time. |

QUOTE(fullmetalneko @ Jul 7 2012, 09:54 PM) I am trying to lose weight and gain some muscle, to which I have started my workouts for the past 2 weeks. In summary, it's something like this: I've not faced these kind of situations. I tend to sleep harder, cause i workout late evening. Ahahaha! I dont know about you but here's my workout routine, and so far results has been good Monday : Weights (chest & triceps) Tuesday : Cardio Wednesday : Weights (back & biceps) Thursday : Cardio Friday : Weights (legs & shoulders) Saturday and Sunday are rest days. I workout at home with dumbbells and a barbell. So far my workouts really tire me out, especially since I workout after work. However, ever since I started working out, I have had trouble sleeping. For the past 2 weeks, I always wake up at around 2-3am (I usually sleep around 10.30pm) and continue on with a fitful sleep till my alarm goes off at 5am. Has anyone faced something like this? Monday :- Heavy Lifts ( Deadlifts, Squats ) , Lower Back, Legs and cardio Tuesday :- Back, Biceps, Abs and cardio Wednesday :- Chest, Shoulders and Triceps Thurs :- Back to Heavy Lifts ( Deadlifts, Squats ) , Lower Back, Legs Friday :- Back, Biceps, Abs and cardio Either Saturday or Sunday :-Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and the same routine goes on Why cardio unconsistent? Cause i attend their cycling classes. Planning to stop soon and focus on bodybuilding |

Why do you have to go to the gym that early? Ahaha!Oh, I thought the feel good run. Hmm, was it very suffering or how? How long to complete the 7km? I'm thinking if should take up for any run like that. My cheat meals didn't help me to reach my target calories intake It was okay la, not so bad. I took 47 minutes My friends are bailing on me already for all these kind of activities cause they're too lazy |

QUOTE(denieru @ Jul 10 2012, 01:37 AM) Hi, Im here to seek advice from sifus This is definitely 100% possible. I'm 18yo, 175cm. I went from XL/L to M in 3/4 months 18yo, 95kg, 170cm. *Dreaming to wear those M and L size cloth I bought before next CNY Breakfast, 730am: Mostly a cup of Teh C + Kolo Mee / Fried Kuehtiaw Lunch, 1200pm: Rice, 1meat 2vege / 2meat 2 vege Dinner, 600pm: (same thing as lunch) No supper. I want to lose fats and get my body into better shape. Currently doing some workout and cardio 4days a week. How can I improve my lifestyle? What kind of workout and cardio I should do when I'm at the gym? Is 4days a week enough? With my body condition, is protein shake recommended? Thanks alot! Best advice i can give you for rapid weight loss is to cut on carbs, salt, oil and sugar Replace your breakfast with something high in fibre, prob something simple such as a cup of oats with milk. Whereas for lunch, i totally reduce on carbs. If you cant survive without consuming carbs, replace rice with brown rice. Replace white bread with wholemeal bread. Same goes to dinner but reduce your dinner portion. Consume more vegetables and fruits. Vitamins, Fibre, bla bla. My routine is :- Mondays :- Legs ( Calves, Hamstrings, Quads ) and cardio ( cycling, approx 580 calories burned average per class ) Tuesdays :- Biceps, Back, Abs. One muscle group, 4 different kind of exercises and cardio ( cycling, approx 580 calories burned average per class ) Wednesdays :- Triceps, Chest, Shoulders. One muscle group, 4 different kind of exercises Thursdays :- Legs again. One muscle group, 4 different kind of exercise Fridays :- Back to Biceps, Back and Abs. Same thing, one muscle group, 4 different kind of exercises and cardio ( cycling, approx 580 calories burned average per class ) EITHER Saturday or Sunday :- Triceps, Chest, Shoulders. One muscle group, 4 different kind of exercises The reason why my cardio isnt consistent is because i attend cycling classes in the gym I wouldnt recommend you protein shake. I would recommend you to get used to the basics first, get your workout correct and make sure you really wana lose weight. Some people like my friends, first week of working out they buy protein tubs already, next week they got lazier and lazier, in the end they wasted cash on their protein shake. Remember, just by drinking protein shakes doesnt help you build muscles Wish you all the best! Losing weight is fun, trust me. |

QUOTE(alien9 @ Jul 10 2012, 08:43 PM) Speaking from a fat burner consumer. I've tried OxyElite Pro once when I want to start my weight loss routine. Are you studying sports science? Your answers are always in detail & amazing Basically it depends, some say it is not natural thus it is not healthy. Some say it helps, so it is a good thing. What I got from OxyElite Pro is that (usually most of the fat burners have this): 1. Appetite Suppressant - The problem with overweight people is that they cannot curb their appetite. Some of them have a great willpower to control their appetite but mostly don't. So, having an appetite suppressant is a good thing where it can limit your food intake thus the possibility of calorie in will be much lower that calorie out. 2. Energy Booster - When we are in calorie deficit, we don't have that much of energy thus energy booster really help to do what we used to do everyday. It is downright demotivating when you are tired all the day because of the insufficient energy due to consuming less food. Feels like eating is a very good option at that time right. BUT If you have ample knowledge about losing weight, then you don't need one. I just need a bottle and after that it is all natural for me. Side Effect: It is totally depend on the person. 1. Caffeine (Stimulant) - Some people don't react well with caffeine so there is a stimulant free fat burners. 2. Excessive sweating - Some products such as Polythermax have this side effect. I actually thought that OxyElite Pro is not working because I don't sweat. 3. Increase Heartrate - Usually caused by 1,3 - Dimethylamylamine. People with hypertension should not consume this products. Some say fat burners causes various kind of damages to the heart? |

QUOTE(alien9 @ Jul 10 2012, 10:02 PM) No man. My degree is far from any science stream but I take that as complement. Not saying that my answers are correct but I like to read Heart attack, woah Recent cases of a few months backs where lots of fat burners and pre-wo that contain 1,3-Dimethylamylamine, have being banned from being produced because the ingredient suspected to cause heart attack. Other than that, I don't think that there is a major sides effect of fat burners. Well, conclusion its best to avoid i guess Added on July 10, 2012, 11:33 pm QUOTE(felixfatass @ Jul 10 2012, 11:23 PM) you are right, those direct sales product again! huhuh haha toldcya so, what product? that's why i think exercise will be the most effective way!
