If your just ill like that then sure, work out by all means. Just don't go overboard and do anything that could compromise your bodies ability to fight the cold off.DefCon-17 wrote:
Thanks for the feedback.
I have nowhere that I can do pullups on, but I was thinking of maybe getting one of those resistance bands instead.
Also, should I work out if I'm sick? Nothing major, just a minor cold.
If you are going to work out whilst you are a little unwell, make sure you are thoroughly hydrated and don't push it, even tho you feel pretty ok your body is still fighting hard against the infection and wearing yourself out won't be any help to the recovery of your system.DefCon-17 wrote:

I was seriously considering myofusion a few days ago. I hope this diet and training plan work well for ya Zim!Zimmer wrote:
I'll post my and workout when I get home.
Just started my six weeks of 5x5 workouts (the best, in my opinion) and it's feeling great so far... Destroyed my shoulders yesterday. Today it's arms and part legs, part shoulders (currently not allowed to do squats due to posture problems because of the soles of my feet).
Just bought a professional close and wide grip Ez bar (the york one only really allowed wide ones and was the one that fucked my arm in the first place.) and I also bought the JML Iron Bar to see how it fares up.
Started major diet as well, with my protein intake up by a lot and taking in no carbs except after workouts. Also considering starting making shakes with cottage cheese and berries and the sort.
Also, final verdict on the Gaspari MyoFusion protein: 10/10
Taste is fucking ridiculous and gains have been noted all around.

Alright, I have a question about losing fat/gaining muscle.
I've been browsing around those bodybuilding.com forums for maybe a week or so now, reading up on stuff but taking everything with a grain of salt knowing that the goals of most members there and my goals are different.
So everyone on there advocates a strict bulking/cutting system in which you are either putting on muscle mass (and not worrying so much about additional fat gains) or you have reached your muscle mass goal and are focusing strictly on losing weight and shedding the fat that you gained during the bulking phase.
I have a bit of fat on my stomach, not enough to make it really stick out, but enough that you can't see much definition in my abs, which I want to change. However, I am not nearly at the stage where I want to be or should be "cutting." Is it really all that unrealistic to build muscle and lose fat at the same time?
+1 Solid advice man.Noobeater wrote:
It depends on how large the gains are that you are after, if you were after large gains such as Sonder and Zimmer then they simply have to load their bodies up with as much protein and carbohydrates as they can (granted zimmer is on a weird diet now that I think has virtually no carbs to cut down fat). They need all that energy and protein to maximise their gains. However in such a diet and excercise regime, even though they do cardio they will still put on some fat due to the spare energy their bodies are taking in. They would get to the stage they want then cut down the amount they eat / lift to trim down the fat levels so they go through building / shedding phases.
Normal people like us however who just want to increase fitness and gain a relatively small muscle mass in the time (compared to hardcore lifters) can if they are careful get the balance right between some muscle gains (though not as high as is possible) and cutting down fat through diet and excercise.
The best ways to cut down fat are simply to get a healthy diet and then do things like high intensity interval training e.g. 30 second sprint, 30 second walk or some such for as many reps as you can before your body feels like its about to die. That is hard work but has amazing gains for fat reduction.
Hope it helps.

Always a good place to start, lolUzique wrote:
my get-fit programme at the moment basically involves a central tenet of 'no drugs' and a core regime involving lots of food, drink and not a lot of evil chemicals or mind-altering substances. hopefully in 3 months i'll be capable of maintaining a normal pulse with my own personal liberty. i'll work on the 6 pack and 1000kg benchpressing after that. for now this IPA needs a neckin'...
I promised you Karma?Noobeater wrote:
Just read back through the posts here, Zimmer and Sonder (bitch promised me karma yo!) discuss different ones a fair bit.
