If it makes you feel any better, I laugh every time I see you post and see your avatar.after a month of physical therapy i still cannot even get into position for a pushup without intense pain in my wrist. **** this
Yeah, I have dumbells, even some adjustable ones. I've actually got a small bench set in the basement that I recently cleaned off and started to use. It doesn't hold much weight though, but is still better than nothing.I've actually been sick for the past 3 days. Grrr!
When I had pneumonia for 1.5 weeks last year I lost SOOO much weight and I looked like a zombie toward the end .
As for you gigas, floor exercises should come in handy. Do you have access to dumbbells by the way? They're usually pretty darn cheap and can get you most of your workouts. I also blast music indoors to keep myself motivated .
Oh and... I still run outside in the freezing weather. I just bundle up and go.
no.extra muscle itself doesn't really burn that much more energy. like ~6 calories a day per pound of muscle, and 2 per pound of fat. link link.
Then there's this recent article that showed even a tiny amount of strength training (15 mins) can raise your metabolism for like 3 days afterwards.

The bicep itself (biceps brachii) has two heads, but both work in the same way (elbow flexion and wrist supination). Under the biceps, however, is another muscle, which is actually a stronger flexor than the biceps itself (brachialis). Both are used doing curls, although brachialis is highlighted if you curl from a supinate your wrist.Hmm...wonder why "www" was censored in your last two links. Assuming that is www...
So I was reading somewhere that there are two parts to the bicep muscle? Are both worked when doing curls? I know there are different variations of curls. Normally I stick to preacher curls, but it would be disappointing to know that I'm only working one part of my biceps.
ok.no.
don't paste links to sites with cheap adverts, and then back up something else with a pubmed article. putting crap like that here is misleading for people who just want to get fit.
And this:using the data of Elia (1992) (RMRcalculated (kJ/day)=1004brain mass (kg)+1841heart mass (kg)+837liver mass (kg)+1841kidney mass (kg)+54skeletal muscle mass (kg)+50residual mass (kg)+19fat mass (kg)).
http://journals.lww.com/co-clinicalnutrition/Abstract/2001/03000/Dissecting_the_energy_needs_of_the_body.11.aspx (paper review)Fat-free mass (FFM) is considered to be the best single predictor of REE.4 However, anatomically as well as metabolically, FFM is heterogeneous. It consists of organs with a high metabolic rate (840–1848 kJ/kg/day) and it also comprises skeletal muscle (MM) or bone mass with a low specific metabolic rate (<60 kJ/kg/day).1,2,3

I'm not too big or knowledgeable on the science of this, but Schmot told me that mixing whey with milk (casein protein) slows down the digestion process. Casein in general takes longer to digest, but you want the protein ASAP after working out. I think you can do the mix or use casein protein in general during non-workout times or at nighttime.k thanks.
seemingly obvious question #2 - why water instead of milk?
Tastes so bad though omg >.<Also, use water instead of milk with the whey protein.
glutamine and alpha lipoic acid are fairly common supplements used to stave off sugar cravings. alternatively try swapping for healthier options, like juice instead of soda, and roasted food instead of fried.Blah, my physical is coming up and I'm looking to drop some weight before that.
It's so hard to abstain from food, though. I've gotta try my hardest. Any tips for avoiding stuff that you really crave?
I'll hit the gym after school on most days.

correct on both accounts. although protein wasnt designed to be downed with a tropical umbrella and bendy straw. man up and drink that s**t.Tastes so bad though omg >.<
i'd wait at least half an hour, cause that's about how long it takes good protein to digest.Fine, I'm giving up the milk with protein.
But how long do I need to wait before I do start chugging milk?
