Megadose glutamine (5-10g every 2-3 hours), drink more water, and get more sleep.

Yes it is harder to lose fat if you were overfat for a long period of time mostly because you have conditioned your body to accept the conditions it was thrust into. However that isn't to say that a person would very easily be able to change their diet/exercise routine and see great progress either way. It's just a matter of 10-20% increased difficulty on behalf of the first person described.

Is this for bulking, cutting, or maintenance?

Would icing or hot and cold showers do anything or is that a PWO think

Unfortunately icing and or hot/cold showers doesn't really help delayed onset muscle soreness.

The soreness is primarily the muscle fibers fusing back together after they have been torn (thus the act of muscle building).

Over time, the body becomes more resistant to the process and soreness is less frequent. However, with the exception of rapid healing aids (growth hormone from sleeping or glutamine) there isn't much else to quickly remove muscle soreness from muscle fiber tearing.

Hmm, I would say more maintenance then anyhting. However, I'am trying to put on another 10-15 pounds. But my goal is to put on 10-15 pounds and gain some more mass.

then stick to:


Mon - chest/abs
Tues - Back/calves
Weds - shoulders/traps
Thurs - Legs/calves
Fri - Arms/Abs
SAT/SUN - OFF

Ok I am an 18 year old male who just finished first year university and want to get back into shape and lose some weight.

All of my weight accumulates in my stomach and chest area and I was wondering what is the best way to get rid of my access fat?

I know I need to change my diet by eating healthier foods and doing more cardio but do you have any tips like what foods I should start eating and what kind of cardio I should do?

I currently play pick up volleyball for sports.
