  1. I think you should read some stuff about working out. I've read a lot in the past weeks and found out that working out too often will not only slow down the progress, it will also make you sick in the long run. As a beginner you should leave a day of rest between body workouts, especially if you train the same muscle parts in each workout. This does not mean you will gain muscles any slower. Muscles dont grow during training, they do while you rest from it. The nutrition plan sounds good, but you might want to increase it a bit on training intensive days.
  2. No offense, but I doubt you've recovered from it yet when you say you're under 100 pounds and don't want to gain any more weight. You should gain at the very least 10 more pounds, and more if you want to gain muscles, because muscles themselves weigh a lot. You should gradually increase your calory intake per day, even if it "feels" like too much food.
  3. haha, i saw that guy in "wrong turn 2". He was awesome and killed lots of bad guys
  4. Makes me so jealous to see how many awesome shops you have overseas =(
  5. 30 (10*3) (When I started 2 months ago, I had trouble doing 3!) 65,775
  6. Is it bad to cook them too long? I like to take a lot of them and cook them way longer than specified so they become sort of a soup, and add things like potatoes and vegetables. Yummy. I'm afraid what happens to the protein when cooking though.
  7. I've read that protein is good, carbs are bad before bedtime.
  8. No way, I'm totally hyped for this... I don't want people to ask "Oh, is that healthy?!" anymore, I want them to see it is =) Yeah, I will go to the gym, in a month or so I'll be home again and ask someone I know to take me and show me around. I guess I'll just stick with Crunches / pseudo Chinups / Puchups / Squats until then. Also, I'm not fat. Well maybe a little, but not overweight I guess. I mainly want to add muscles and strength. I didnt really watch my Protein intake before, either. I started eating a lot of lenses, and increased on tofu, soy milk etc (although that stuff is a bit expensive over here imo). I'll try rolled oats for breakfast too. But reaching ~130+ grams a day will be tough without supps, I guess.
  9. Hi from Germania Im in really bad shape, because never in my life did I have the motivation to excercise for more than 1-2 months in a row without becoming disencouraged and stopping again. Because of my bad shape I want to start training at home for a couple months at least, because I wouldnt dare to enter a studio just now. From what I've read, full body excercises are a lot better than isolation excercises for beginners, so I came down with these 3 excercises, which I've been doing 3 sets every second day for a solid month: - Push Ups - Crunches - Leg-supported Pull Ups (can't do a regular one yet) I usually stop shortly before muscle failure, which is supposed to be a good idea from what I've read. To say the truth, while I am doing a bit of a progress on these, I'm really not that exhausted afterwards, and I wish I could do more, but I'm not sure about what... I tried doing squats without extra weight (don't have a barbell), but I can do pretty much infinite of these, so that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I also am in doubt that the biceps is getting enough training, and I think about doing curls. Would that be a good idea? I also enjoy biking a couple of times a week, but I guess since the training doesnt exhaust me a lot this isn't a big of an issue. I would just like to have a bit of certainty that what I'm doing is ok and will get me somewhere within some time...
  10. I have no idea but could this be because the testing method is bad and cant distinguis between real and analoga? Noticing early symptoms might not be so easy, things such as fatigue may easily be imagined if you're scared about having a deficiency.
  11. Also keep in mind that some of the subjects in the study are probably not a vegan for a very long time and still have reserves, so the quota among longtime vegans is possibly even higher than 50%. I also think this quote is especially alarming: After about 3 years of vegan-oriented vegetarism and 1 year of veganism I started taking multivit. tablets with 10mcg B12 a few months ago, but I fear that might be insufficient so I plan to get and take some additional higher dosage tablets over a few weeks just in case.
  12. This is a very dangerous attitude, since unfortunately there is no known source of B12 in a natural vegan diet. You might be healthy now, but you will very likely get a deficiency in the long run. "While lacto-ovo vegetarians usually get enough B12 through consuming dairy products, vegans will lack B12 unless they consume multivitamin supplements or B12-fortified foods. Examples of fortified foods include fortified breakfast cereals, fortified soy products, fortified energy bars, and fortified nutritional yeast. According to the UK Vegan Society, the present consensus is that any B12 present in plant foods is likely to be unavailable to humans because B12 analogues can compete with B12 and inhibit metabolism.[28][29] Claimed sources of B12 that have been shown to be inadequate or unreliable through direct studies[30] of vegans include laver (a seaweed), barley grass, and human gut bacteria."
