i was watching a youtube recipe video and the guy said the water in the can has a lot of the sodium. do you have any idea roughly how much sodium will be in the beans when i rinse with water? the 15.5oz/439g can of pinto beans from walmart says 1435mg  :unsure:



After rinsing the beans thoroughly with water, the beans will have virtually no excess sodium except around 100mg per serving from the brine water that has partially soaked into the beans.

Hey there, I am 6' 0" and weigh about 180lbs, I wouldn't say that I'm fat but I weigh more than I'd like.  I was wondering if you could help me set-up a diet plan and workout routine to help me drop 20 pounds!
Thank you, I'd like to incorporate some cardio and the only thing I can't do is squats because when I get around 285 on the bar, the pain in my lower back is unbearable.  Thanks again, and let me know if you could help me out!


edit: I want to apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors, I'm on my phone!

Certainly!

2,500/2,000 cal diet plan



This particular plan will be fine for you. Eat the 2,500 cal plan on workout days and the 2,000 cal plan on non-workout days.


As far as exercise routine goes:

I used to be a balloon of shit. Now I lost over 80 lbs of weight and my skin is all flabby and with stretchmarks like a 90 year old grandmother with 15 kids.

Supplement wise I take:

Vitamin C
Collagen
Ginseng
Fenugreek
D3
B6
Kelp
Lecitine
Cider vinegar
Creatine
L glutamine
Cafeine
Uva Ursi
D aspartic Acid
Tribulus
Aminoacids
Manganese
Magnesium
Zinc
Copper
Dolomite
Calcium
Fish oil

I eat only fresh lean meat, fresh fruits and fat free dairy. I have been off other carbs other than fruits for almost half a year.

I lift almost every day with an occasional pure-cardio day. Other than that, I exercise every day. Fitness classes, boxing, lifting, cardio, all that shit.

How do I stop my everything from sagging like a worthless second hand bin-bag?




Hello there.


You have TWO options.


1. Put on an extreme amount of lean muscle mass (will take a long time without steroids) and your excess skin problem will be solved with the physique of a greek god.

2. See a plastic surgeon for a relatively easy procedure to remove the excess skin.

got a bladder infection, what to do?



Pure cranberry extract + Pure cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail), consume 1 capsule of cranberry extract every 3 hours, and drink 8 oz of pure cranberry juice every 2 hours. Also, drink 12 oz of water per hour, the entire day.

Also take licorice root extract (1 capsule every 3 hours).


If the problem does not subside in a day, see a doctor immediately for antibiotics.

1. What does a gym have to offer that I can't do at home? I thought that workout machines are not good as they just work the main muscle, not any of the supporting muscles. I don't mind getting a set of free weights.

2. What do you define as clean food? I googled that term and it was basically organic foods.

Also is it best to workout in the morning (7am or so) or after work (7pm or so).

Thanks for the list of workouts.




1. A gym is complete. You will not outgrow a proper gym, and you will also be able to work every muscle group to its maximum potential. Free weights are great, which a gym should have plenty of, however, there are a lot of very useful machines. Not all machines work only one part of a muscle group, however, the ones that do are very useful for that particular reason. Certain exercises are absolutely necessary for muscular development when you hit a wall. Machines can sometimes help you break that wall, or improve a body part that is lagging behind.

2. Clean food would mean a diet that does not consist of fast foods, processed foods, frozen foods, etc. Basically lean meats, fruits, veggies, complex carbs, some dairy, nuts, etc. Stick to healthy whole foods, and avoid anything with added processed ingredients.

hey raynor, how long should i rest in between sets for your 5x5 strength workout?


It depends on your body, however, 30 seconds all the way up to 2 minutes is fine.

hey!

i'm currently going to the gym basically twice a day and 7 times a week, doing cardio at 6 in the morning and after work i go lift weights without cardio.

i was wondering if doing only 1 muscle (group) a day makes any sense. did biceps yesterday, today chest and tomorrow i'm gonna do legs.

is there any advantage/disadvantage in doing it like that? i used to do have a 3-day-split (biceps+chest+abs ; triceps+back ; shoulders + legs) and felt like i want to put more work into each muscle group.

another thing that i'm worried about is i have not changed my protein intake, and since i work out less muscle groups each day, should i reduce my protein/food intake? (i dont have a very strict diet, i'm pretty happy with my body and just like to work on it)



Training ONE muscle group per day is absolutely fine.

However, you will DEFINITELY need a day of rest. Training in a full-on setting where you are going hard 7 days a week can actually cause injury and lead to muscular damage rather than growth. I would highly recommend 6 days on 1 day off. You can still train one muscle group per day, but if you are going to, you will need to train that group especially hard.

As far as protein intake goes, you should keep it to 1-1.5 g / lb of bodyweight.

i'm a noob when it comes to alcohol. hated vodka and whiskey. since i like sweets, coworker recommended amaretto. i bought a bottle of barton's amaretto di amore and it tastes great. for some reason though, the bottle didn't come with a nutrition facts label. i'm looking at different sites to figure it out.

this site says it has 12g of protein in 1.5 oz. i have a hard time believing that. and a few of the other sites say it doesnt have protein.

http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-liquors-spirits-amaretto-di-amoref-ZmlkPTE1ODcwNw.html

is that site just wrong? or perhaps i'm misreading it.

how long can i keep the bottle of alcohol after opening it before it goes bad? i've never seen it refrigerated on tv, so i'm guessing it doesnt have to be refrigerated?

the bottle says it's 21% alcohol. so for 1.5 oz, i guess it's 0.21 * 1.5oz = .315 oz of alcohol. so for this amount, how much extra water should i consume to compensate for the dehydrating effect of alcohol?




Amaretto can very well have a protein content due to its original ingredients being hazelnuts. However, that seems VERY high for protein in a liqueur.

I would venture a guess of maybe 1g protein and 15g carbs (from alcohol).


As far as refrigeration goes, that will not be necessary. It will stay on its own for quite a while if stored in a cool dark place in its original bottle. Months will not make a difference.

For water consumption. You would need around 4-6 oz of water for every 1.5 oz of amaretto to neutralize any dehydration that would normally occur.

forgot to ask another question. how do you recommend i determine my tolerance? i'm not sure how quickly alcohol effects start and how quickly it leaves my system. i assume there's some ideal x ounces in y minutes strategy i can use?



Tolerance, unfortunately, will have be gauged by trial and error. A good rule of thumb is that a 170 lb man (on an empty stomach) will gain .02 alcohol BAL (blood/breath alcohol level) by consuming one alcoholic beverage per hour (one 6oz glass wine, one 12 oz beer, or one 1.5 oz shot of 80 proof - 40% liquor). So for 21% alcohol, every 3 oz would raise your BAL by .02%.

.08 is the legal driving limit, so you can expect that .10 is relatively intoxicated.


so that 170 lb man would have to drink 10 shots of amaretto to reach .10% BAL and become intoxicated. However, tolerance level will vary GREATLY - 5 shots for you might make you sick!

Then if I were to try out another pre-workout supplement, what would you advise? Or are you against them?

I also need a little help with my stubborn pectorals.  :angry: The upper portion of it is really lagging behing. My lower pec and front delts are developping really well, therefore I tried to put emphasis on the upper pecs, without great success. Everytime I try to do an inclined press movement, I feel it a lot in my front delts and not really in the upper chest, even when do inclined flies I tend to feel it in the shoulders instead of the chest lol

Any advice is welcomed



For pre-workout, try caffeine by itself. 2 cups of black coffee by itself, with either a couple Beta Alanine capsules or L-Taurine capsules usually does the trick.

As far as chest goes:

You need to just keep hitting the chest in general and it will sculpt itself.
