For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

[Guitarman]

Can't target where to drop fat, unfortunately. It's just wherever your body decides to lose it first.

[Gryffes]

So I've noticed the majority of my fat loss is coming from my legs. Is there a way to target specific areas for fat loss or is it simply full body and I'm not noticing it as much elsewhere?

First on, last off - you can't target it.

lots and lots of tricep extensions and excellent genetics. In fact, forget the extensions; excellent genetics. Sadly, CS took all the excellent genetics from everyone for the next 150 years. It'll come off where your body wants it to come off. You have no influence what so ever.

Never heard first on, last off. Thanks for letting me know.

This is awesome! Foam rollers are bee's knee's.

Wait til you build the tolerance and move up to the lacrosse ball son, that's the heaven right there.

Finally got around to using my blnder yesterday, and had a shake with:

1 scoop of protein
Couple of handfuls of frozen berries
~250g of greek yoghurt
3 ice cubes and about 100ml of water to thin it out

Tasty, fairly low in calories (probably around 300?), ~35g of protein. However, i'm not really sure what i can add to it to boost the calories. I'm fairly certain i'm going to need a few more very soon as my training gets a bit tougher. Can anyone recommend some good calorie boosters for shakes?

Milk and bananas are my pick for upping the calories. Replacing the water with milk and adding a banana will up that by ~150 calories.

If I really want to up the cals, Peanut butter does a good job.

Thanks for the suggestions. I know peanut butter is a brilliant tool for adding in some extra calories, even just eating it out of the pot; but, i'm unsure what it'd be like in a fruity shake. I'm guessing it'd be kinda gross.

The powder i have at the moment is vanilla, so vanilla and berries are working pretty well together. Any other suggestions for different combinations of fruit and powder flavours?

You don't need a tolerance for a lacrosse ball. Foam rollers are to big to reach all the potential tight spots.

This is an old reply but if you lift and don't deadlift, minus diagnosed medical conditions, you should just quit.

[AidenCarby]

Not sure your first statement makes any sense if it's a reply to mine, which I'm assuming it is because you quoted it. Also, who said anything about not deadlifting? It has it's dangers like any other lift, if done incorrectly/too much. With that being said I deadlift as part of my routine, pending on day/how I feel sometimes up to twice a week.

Edit: Haven't lifted all week, just light rolling in preparation for grappling tournament, which is today. Hopefully some medal pics incoming a little later

[Milkster]

The only reason it would be dangerous is if you have awful form. Overtraining will not affect 99% of the population, what their problem is is undernutrition/ not enough adequate rest.

[AidenCarby]

It has potential to lock your CNS even if done properly.

.. So true.

do you have a source for this?

Here's the thing. I'm actually a poster on MD. I love 'em. but the forums itself hardly count as any sort of reliable credential. I was hoping for some kind of peer reviewed article or scholarly source but bro science is better than none.


But deadlifts are actually one of the safest movements one can do in the gym. Heavy or intensity is perfectly safe for your CNS

[Shiroikage]

yeah, i wouldn't sweat it

[Kuya]

CNS damage from deadlifts? What?

[Osede]

it just looks like ppl aren't do deadlift in proper form that results too much pressure on backbone joint.
