Help! How can I get my girlfriend more into fitness?
She keeps complaining about gaining weight but does not listen to me when I suggest what to do. I love fitness and so I teach her all I know. I take her to the gym with me but she is just not into it. We have tried running, hiking, you name it and she just wishes she can lose weight without work. Anything maybe I haven't thought of would be great. We will be trying kickboxing next week, hopefully she likes kicking and punching... Thanks.
The key is, don't nag her! She needs to want to do it. Invite her to train with you. If she doesn't want her, SUPPORT THAT! Trying to force her into your way of life will only drive you apart!
Nope--genetic insertions cannot be changed. All you can do is train it hard and make it grow! Here is a good program! https://content.tigerfitness.com/arm-workout-routine/
Abs
I've dieted down to about 6% body fat, according to the Jackson and Pollack 3 point caliper system, but my abs just don't seem to show as well as I would like them to.
I workout my abs about 3 times a week. Am I working them out too much or not enough? What's the best way to get those sweet looking six pack abs?
2 things
1) You don't have much muscle in your abs, you need to build it with Goblet Squats, Deadlifts, etc.
2) You are not 6%, looks more like 8-9%
You need to build muscle and lose more fat. I would reverse diet, LIFT HARD and gain 2lb a month using www.massdiet.com. Once around 12% or so bodyfat, cut down. This should look a lot more crisp than what you have now. For a good diet see www.dropfactorbook.com
I take CLASH before every training session. And since there is Teacrine in it, habituation or desensitizing to it is not an issue!
Pyramid sets to gain strength or just do a 5x5 programme instead
pyramid sets for strength?
If you want strength, get on a strength program. Here is a good one: https://content.tigerfitness.com/shaw-6-week-strength-program/
During Peak Week of a bodybuilding show. Do you carb load more at the beginning of the week to give yourself time to fix yourself if it goes bad ? Or do you carb load at the end of the week ?
Bodybuilding Contest Prep- Peak Week.
I personally like Carb loading Friday and Depleting Tues-Thursday. The backload, if done right, is the best option
what to do if your weight loss slows down even after just two weeks??

Sodium: Why is it important
I have heard mixed things about the importance of manipulating sodium for a cut but I do not see a whole lot of consistency. How does sodium intake effect cutting and/or bulking? Or is it mainly just a factor for health, not necessarily weight? At what point should one start paying attention to their sodium intake?
