counting vegetables

Joel 7 years ago updated by Marc Lobliner 7 years ago 2

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

Todd Gebert 7 years ago updated by andy 7 years ago 2

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?

Answer

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

Matt Dorler 7 years ago updated by andy 7 years ago 2

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?

Answer
andy 7 years ago

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

Brett Bowles 7 years ago updated by andy 7 years ago 2

Since DMHA is soon to be banned in Australia do you believe that America will do the same?

Answer

Probably, but the government has a tough time actually enforcing laws!

Answer

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!

Answer

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.

Is it normal for a natural to have some lower belly fat?

Cody Anders 7 years ago updated by andy 7 years ago 2

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

Answer

It's just where you store fat, as most men do, even enhanced athletes. You just need to diet harder

Answer

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
