forgive me if these questions have been asked. I just saw his post haha

I've heard pretty good review of the Paleo Diet. It seems alright, but I don't know all the details about it. It's basically a lowcarb diet that has some history to back it up, like the Warrior Diet. I've heard of a few people doing a Warrior Diet mixed with the Paleo Diet and haveheard of great progress.
The only real way to know if it's good is to actually try it though. I say go for it, you've got nothing to lose. Do it for a week and see how yourbody reacts.
I don't recommend the Zone Diet because it's extremely generic and it won't work for everyone.

Today's my last day of bulking, and tomorrow I want to start losing the fat that I gained during my bulk period.

I don't want to completely go on a low calorie diet because I want to get stronger.

How many calories should I eat if I want to get stronger and lose fat at the same?

 

[dacityslanga]

Lost 15 pounds due to very bad food poisoning FTL (found out I had gotten e-coli) but at least Im alive.

Word to the wise, try to make sure the people making your food wash thier hands.

 

[rightguard]

food poisoning is the worst, I had food poisoning from crisp n juicy,

[shaky3]

Can someone recommend me a legit workout routine for biceps and triceps?

I've been doing the same routine for the past month, and I think it's time for a change.

You don't need that much protein man

That's how much I'd need..

too much protein there. very hard for your stomach to digest.
you wana gain a great amount of mass or wat?
and a tip for ya'll never do the same lift more than twice a week.
i see some dudes hit the bench 4 times a week.
-DB bench is more effective than barbell bench.
-take your protein shake or have any kind of protein within 40 mins you workout if you dont its like working out for nothing.
-pullups is the best workout for me.
-people in the gym focus too much on upper body and barely do any legs..like squats,power cleans,deadlift.

I'm cutting weight so just trying to tone up. I'm happy with my arms legs and chest just trying to create a little more ab definition and maybe alittle more vascular biceps.

Rarely do I do biceps and triceps on the same day. What works for me and always has is, back and bi's one day and chest and tri's another day.
But when I train arms I murder them.
After my chest workout and my tri's are already feeling the pain I may start off with some dips. Depending on how I angle myself, I either hit mostly mylower pecs or my tris (reps and sets to failure).
After that I may do close grip bench press at light weight to get the burn going (reps and sets to failure).
Then to the tri pulldown with either the rope,bar or both. I do 2 variations of this. One hitting the outer head of the tris more. Usually 5-6 sets to failure.Then if im up to it, the overhead extention. I only usually last about 3 sets

.
Then to the one arm overhead dumbell extention (2 variations). Reps and sets to failure with elbows pointing outwards and then reps and sets with elbowspointing inwards. I found elbos pointing inwards hit the inner tri the best

.........

My bicep routine is basically the same. Different variations with reps and sets to failure. But I keep my weight light to moderate, This will isolate themuscle your working giving you the best results......

I want to slim down, need to lose probably 40 or 50 pounds, been running 2 miles 3 times a week since July, starting to get used to the soreness. I got anaccount on livestrong.com that plots what I eat/ do with my workouts that has really been good.

Your right....Im being insensitive. You should feel like crap. Keep a str8 and foward mind. Keep going at it and the results will come.
After awhile fast food will taste so nasty

you should do back/bis one day then chest/tris on a diff day.

back and biceps: rows, deadlifts, pulldowns, and DB and BB curls.
chest and triceps: DB bench and BB bench (flat and incline), rope pulldowns, DB flyes, dips at the end

 

[ericescobar]

man, just got back from vacation. i hit the gym today, and found out i dropped 10 freaking pounds! wtFFF!
i was away for two weeks without a gym and protein was at a minimum. i didn't eat as well as i normally do.
my strength was down a bit today and i had to cut my workout a little short because i didn't think i could get through it.
any of you guys lose mass and regain it quickly?

nothing typed up, i'm doing high carb day, low carb day, no carb day. in that order. low carb day carbs are consumed pre- and post- workout.i'm kinda half-assing it to be honest, not keeping track of my exact macros. but if anything i'm under for carbs on low day so it's not a hugedeal.

 

[everydaykicks]

I leave for vacation tomorrow, my diet is about to go down the drain lol
