abs are built in the kitchen..... but aerobic work burns fat while anaerobic work burns glucose..

What is everyone's definition of clean & dirty bulk?
I used to think it was solely based on the food that was ate.
But I recently ready that: Clean Bulk : 200-500 calories over maintenance, while Dirty Bulk: 1000-2000 calories over maintenance
That it didn't matter what food that were eaten mattered

i gotta hit the gym early now since i don't wanna get stuck with the resolution people ha ha ha. earlier some big fat dude was walking around the gym with an ipad in his hand looking for what type of exercise he should do. i think he left after 20 minutes.

You just have to get your body conditioned to do heavy cardio again. Just start small by building up your distance and lungs. No one supplement can necessarily just get you in shape for cardio and you won't get there over night so just push yourself to run longer and longer when you do. A lot these pre-workout supplements actually recommend that you DONT do cardio after taking them so be careful with that. I've played ball my whole life and trust me, there's no short cuts in cardio lol

Water retention
isn't that only if you don't turn it into muscle?

Going to try and get some weighted dips with 65lbs later tonight... maybe curls with the 40s too depending on how I'm feeling.
Nervous but excited

You dont turn the water into muscle. The idea is that contractions of the muscle require water to function effectively. With more water in the muscle, it'll be able to work just a little harder, enough for you to get a few more reps in, or add a couple pounds to the bar. That extra weight will help you progress faster, provided your diet, rest, and training are otherwise on point.

They usually tend to stay away from the free weights in general, so I don't have a problem with them.Originally Posted by MoreUptempo
This. Had the squat rack to myself for 45 minutes
Glad I don't ride the bikes
I decided to switch up my routine a bit. I was doing bench, squat, deadlift, and rows with heavy weights every time I went to the gym. I'd workout, recover 2 days, and be back at it again. I've noticed as I increase the lb's I have less energy. Would it be detrimental if I split them up (Bench, Deadlift & Squat, Row) and went every other day?

That sounds like a good idea, actually. If youve been consistently upping the weight for a while, you might also want to take a week off to let your body rest and catch up. I know that after a couple months of going hard, I start to die out if I dont give myself a break.Originally Posted by DAYTONA 5000

Not sure how you want to break it up but Im doing a day for each, every week until summer, provided I have time. If youre planning on doing two of the compound lifts every workout, Id probably suggest not squatting and deadlifting the same day.

and cut until I'm about 180ish or until I look like Patrick Bateman in American psycho, real lean but still with a good amount of muscle tone.
Here's the best pic I could find.
