thank you, and a happy turkey day to all.

i ate myself fat this thanksgiving. how about giving us all a workout to get rid of the holiday pounds!

hahaha...as much as I'd like to oblige you...goals and routines differ by the individual...for the holiday season - I recommend the bulking cycle. when spring rolls around, you can begin a solid cutting cycle to lose all the holiday fat and start getting shredded. For right now, enjoy the holidays, enjoy getting fat (within reason), and continue to hit the gym hard.

you also risk the chance of contracting salmonella by not cooking your eggs.

Hey, i am signing up for the Royal Marines in January and i need a good cardio+upper strength routine and diet plan
I quit kickboxing 2 years ago after doing it for 2 years but ever since i quit ive just been bulking muscle and fat i guess and not working my stamina enough
So now with all the added weight ive gained and not adding running/ cardio to my routines properly for my 2 years i've got alot to catch on before January


What im looking for is a good routine that would build my stamina with running and even muscle stamina ie military press ups, pull ups squats etc

This is what im doing a day so far

3x30 military press ups
3x40 squats
3x60 sit ups
3x50 tricep dips
3x30 crunches
3x40 squats
3x10 pull ups
3x25 press ups (wide)
3x40 alt elbow to knee
3x7 pull ups
3x60 sit ups

For my royal marines test i need to be able to do 1.5 miles in 12 minutes 1 minute rest then another 1.5 in 10 mins 30 secs

How often should i do this routine?
How often should i run?
What would be the best diet intake? ie protein etc

Hello there, I want to lose as much fat as possible now during 1-2 weeks, since I've some extra kilo's I want to get rid off. After this I want to gain some muscles to look in shape and to be in shape and to feel better overall. but the building muscle part is a later concern....

I am 181 centimetre tall (that is 71 inches.)
Not totally sure on weight since of some time, but I was 85kg and have gained like 5kg since then if I where to guess. 90kg (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg)
I'm pretty muscular under the fat I've gained, and been active in sports since until 2 years ago.
Pretty much a noob when it comes to gym, I've worked out 3 times a week for 3 months once with a fairly good scheme, and always been an on/offer except for that period. But consider myself a total noob.

I've read some in this thread and elsewhere and came to this result during 1-2 weeks to lose fat:
Take a fast speed walk before breakfast (within 15minutes of waking up): 1 hour
Eat breakfast (oathmeal or 1 slice of whole grain bread + 1 fruit)
- eat something here -
Eat lunch (Grilled chicken / roast beef / tuna fish + salad consisting of carrots/cucumber/salat/possibly apples)
- eat something here -
eventually work out with weights / gym here if that is reccomended (?)
--- Gainomax recovery/banana to restore energy after workout + to maximize it)
dinner: same as lunch
- eat something here - ?
30-45minutes of running here
---- gainomax recovery/banana again
- some almonds before I go to bed-

Repeat 6 days a week, rest sunday. As you can see it's pretty obvious I'll be exhausted, hence it's only for 1 week or 2 week tops, but to burn fat asap before starting real "work"

My questions concrete is:
Should I skip the eventual workout with gym inbetween lunch/dinner? is it "too much"? Main concern is that I will have to shower 3times a day lol, + cannot do stuf since I'll have to workout 24/7
What the heck should I eat as snack / in between the bigger meals if I don't have supplements / don't plan on buying? (protein shake etc)


Thanks alot for your answers, and if I have to clarify something just lmk!

will i loose my manboobs by just working out ( currently building ) or will i have to wait on a cut to see them go away?

Hi, i realize your busy, i pm'ed you about 5 days or so ago and never got a response, i thought if i posted here
maybe it will be easier for you

basically I want to know a way to get lower abs as fast and clean as possible, upper doesn't seem to be a problem
but the lower abs are more difficult, would there be a workout routine (for abs of course) that could get me these without
cutting my diet?

I'm 18
6'2
181lbs

if anymore info is needed just lmk of course, will donate if looks good and i can follow it.

oh, monday, wednesday, and friday, i do rough baseball conditioning and then lifting after, get lots of exercise and run a lot
