counting vegetables
Do you need to count the calories of the vegetables you eat? Some think that vegetable as a simple carbohydrate has no impact on physical composition and that if you need it, you can eat them in large quantities without putting on fat.
Vacuum exercise for tightening waist line
Is the Vacuum exercise adequate for tightening up your waistline along with other abdominal exercises.? I have heard this exercise helps tighten up a distended stomach even if you are already lean. If it is how many reps/sets would be sufficient to add into an Ab routine?
It will help control your stomach by being able to "suck it in", but bodyfat dictates abs and genetics dictates waist size. See this:
Best exercises besides the Big 3/4
Besides the standard big 3/4 exercises (Squat, Deadlift, Bench, Overhead press) what are your favorite exercises for each muscle group excluding the big 3/4?
I have no favorites to be honest, I think every "logical" movement has its place but I am a huge fan of mostly closed chain movements and don't do many open chain movements anymore.
Stimulant ban
Since DMHA is soon to be banned in Australia do you believe that America will do the same?
It is actually a mess! Can be 30% to 90% whey--just a scam protein in most of the applications it is used in and a marketing gimmick. This is why I believe a quality isolate/concentrate blend like MTS Nutrition Machine Whey is superior to.....everything!
Dan, I am not sure what this means. Bone structure is different in all people....and it does influence gain potential as do all genetic variables.
They are great, especially Clean Protein which is found in Per Vitam Vegan Protein coming next week to Tigerfitness!
ALL OF THEM! Pulldowns and pullups target them and DEADLIFTS! Deadlifts are the KING!
Is it normal for a natural to have some lower belly fat?
I am an all natural bodybuilder that has been training for 6 years. at age 18 I started at 125lbs and I now weigh 170lbs at a height of 5ft 9in. My physique looks great except for some stubborn lower belly fat. I realize this problem is due to some dirty bulking in the past to get my weight up but now when I cut my calories back it seems all of my gains disappear in front of my eyes. as a natural, is a little lower belly fat okay? or am I not doing something right
It's just where you store fat, as most men do, even enhanced athletes. You just need to diet harder
I would schedule it, since nobody ever WANTS to take one!
Also, you're still training on deloads, I would keep cals the same but be reactive and adjust if needed
