Gym And Supplement Discussion

I had an interesting discussion about cheat meals recently.

Many people see them as an out for people who simply cannot strictly diet.

This isn't true, in fact, cheat meals serve a key purpose (or a dual purpose):

1: They trick your body into thinking that it is getting ample nutrients/calories, therefore, your body is less likely to go into starvation mode and do its absolute best to hold onto fat stores.

2: They keep you sane/more likely to stick to your diet and can be motivating. I especially look forward to my cheat meals whilst cutting.

Cheat meals are the safer option when compared to 'cheat days', you risk binging too hard on a cheat day lol. But if you can keep it within reason and it works, why not?

good news... I was undecided on going to dinner tonight as I know it will be a massive eat fest... and a few beers will get consumed no doubt

Budapest in Elsternwick... great Hungarian food but massive portions and when its in front of me I just keep eating lol... so I'm trying to eat very light today in preparation

been making good progress lately, slowly cutting back for summer... I've tried last minute cuts before and its always been a failure... I don't function very well when I haven't had enough to eat, I get grumpy and have crap workouts so still trying to find the best balance

lol at Jay Cutler... he really is a freak... I read that in the first year he took up BB'ing he put on about 20kg of muscle! (can't remember exact number but it was ridiculous)

Ye it has good effect on metabolism and serves to give the body a bit of a kick.

Plus one huge gorge/cheat meal isn't really going to alter the weeks diet much at all.

I'll ask the dude @ work if i can chuck up some of his pics - strict as 40yo with diet etc. He gives himself 1hr per week to "go nuts" and eat anything and everything (like 1 large pizza, 3 icecream cones and maybe 2-3 cans of coke) except when prepping for a comp. Says it hasnt affected him at all and is a good 'break'.

Got my self SKINS Mens Compression Tights for my regular everyday workouts and i find them very motivating when im doing my 20 minute cardio and squat sessions, less fatigue. I highly recommend them to every one

[dezz]

Nothing more than a placebo imo. I wear them for footy training, apart from keeping me slightly cooler in summer, and slightly warmer in winter, they really don't do much at all.

Other than making you look like a raging homo.

I got a SKINS top and it does a good job of keeping the chill out when running cold winter nights...without restricting breathing. Beats ye olde topless running and hypothermia.

[Astonish]

[Birds]

Currently giving 1MR a shot, can't say I'm feeling the amphetamine sensation though I definitely feel more pumped than usual...

[Trozzle]
