Wanna get the shred happening bruz

Been pumping the weights for a couple of months now and getting increase in muscle.

But the fat around waist etc is still there

Also might add that I smash out a good 10-15min ab sesh at the end of each workout

Can anyone recommend any suppliments to burn off fat and increase metabolism.

This is going to be included with my current workout/diet.

I will be getting some whey protein some time next week.

Each time you eat, metabolic rate increases slightly for a few hours. Paradoxically, it takes energy to break down and absorb energy. This is the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). The amount of energy expended is directly proportional to the amount of calories and nutrients consumed in the meal.

Let's assume that we are measuring TEF during 24 hours in a diet of 2700 kcal with 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate and 20% fat. We run three different trials where the only thing we change is the the meal frequency.

A) Three meals: 900 kcal per meal.

B) Six meals: 450 kcal per meal.

C) Nine meals: 300 kcal per meal.

What we'd find is a different pattern in regards to TEF. Example "A" would yield a larger and long lasting boost in metabolic rate that would gradually taper off until the next meal came around; TEF would show a "peak and valley"-pattern. "C" would yield a very weak but consistent boost in metabolic rate; an even pattern. "B" would be somewhere in between.

However, at the end of the 24-hour period, or as long as it would take to assimilate the nutrients, there would be no difference in TEF. The total amount of energy expended by TEF would be identical in each scenario. Meal frequency does not affect total TEF. You cannot "trick" the body in to burning more or less calories by manipulating meal frequency.

Dunno if any one else has found this but,

I was using international protein synergy 5 for the last 6 weeks, I then ran out before my new order came in so I resorted to buying a tub of optimum nutrition gold standard whey. Took that for 2 days and had an upset stomach the whole time. I received my new protein 4 days ago (Allmax ISOFLEX) and now the upset stomach is gone. I've been off dairy for a month now and I think my body is "out of practice" at dealing with lactose.

The isolex I now take is 99% lactose free as well..

Anyone else had experiences like this?

how have you found the BN protein Birds?

seem as good as the Ultimate Nutrition?

They are very different supplements, one being pure protein and the other a compound full of carbs. I haven't done any specific or consistent tests, so it's difficult to say what difference the switch has made, other than empirical findings...for which there could be other explanations (e.g. I've been reducing my rest times between sets lately).

Anyway, muscle recovery has been much the same post-switch. I've been a little down on energy, but at the same time, never this cut before, which on paper reflects the switch. At this stage I would recommend BN to people.

(have to forgive ye crappy car window selfie, it always does a good job of making me look oblique [cwatididthere?] :/)

Yes. Run and don't eat so much shit. Drink mostly (and lots of) water and eat lots of chicken.

Anyone want to help me out with my daily intake.

So my current stats are

Weight: 70-73kg

Height: 170cm

Age: 22

I just did a metabolic rate calc

Base Energy Expenditure: 1758 kilocalories per day

Does this mean to get lean mean and a fighting machine I have to take very close to this in calories per day.

So if I work out a meal plan of 1700 calories and adjust as I shed fat and gain muscle

Why do you take a pic of yourself in the car window, it makes you look 2x bigger than you actually are.

1700 calories is probably maintenance cals for an ethiopian child. What are your goals?

Im out of my comfort zone here haha

Dont have a clue what to aim for etc.

Just want to lose any extra flab and tone and a little muscle gain will be a bonus

Just trying to work out what my daily intake should be so I can organise what foods I want to eat etc.

I do a 30-45min workout each work day which is based on weight lifiting with high reps

I think kasko might be talking kilocalories...

The metabolic calc did it in kilocalories so wouldnt have a clue

Diet is no doubt an important part of exercise, but if you're trying to bulk up a bit you probably dont wanna be skimping on your food intake all that much.

Just try to limit the amount of crappy food you eat and opt for healthier things. This will require a bit of forward planning for what you want to eat for the day though.

? he said calories, that is a kilocalorie or kcal.

You can't do both at the same time. You'll want to bulk, but keep in mind it will result in fat gain and how much is dependant on how many calories you eat over your maintenance level. Use this http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981&page=1 to calculate your macro's and calories.

Pretty confusing calculators

Might have to take some time out and work this out fully.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
