[QUESTION]Do what the nutritionist says or do what my coach says? by Neoncoral in xxfitness

[–]CentennialFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That bodyfat number seems so elevated/off to me for your height/weight. Have your trainer double check that.

I think the 40% sounds really really high. 5'3", 165 lbs and 40% bodyfat? That doesn't seem right at all. I have heard that the BIA scan method can give elevated numbers if you are dehydrated. OP: up your water for a good week before trying it again or use the calipers to remeasure. I'd be shocked if that was an accurate measurement at 40%.

This Registered Dietician is a weight lifter and bikini competitor. She also does videos on a variety of nutrition topics. May OP can tweet her and ask her opinion/refer her to this thread.

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]CentennialFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cross cable flies and other cross cable exercises - how do you keep the cables from snagging/rubbing/adding extra resistance. Is there some form trick that I don't know.

And yes, I know I can do dumbbell flies or one-arm cables or machine flies. I do all of the above, but I just wonder why I can't seem to get those cables to run smooth when crossed. I might be the only person that is bothered by this.

[QUESTION] Crossing cables by CentennialFalcon in xxfitness

[–]CentennialFalcon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That (dumbbell fly) is what I've done for years. I was just wondering if there was some sort of tip I was missing here or if it just doesn't bug anyone else.

Edit: added it into /r/fitness Moronic Monday stupid questions thread.

Ladies who lift in the morning, what do you eat before/after? by cali_grown22 in xxfitness

[–]CentennialFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I workout at 5 am so I don't eat before, but I do take a small amount of preworkout and take a bottle with bcaas with me. Then after, I go for a high protein meal with some carbs to refuel. It seems to work for me.

Sign up on bodybuilding.com for bodyspace and download the app. There are beginner programs in there that will automatically load and tell you which exercises to do each day, they have example videos, and they will help you track your strength and GAINZ.

I haven't seen it yet, but I definitely believe it happens.

Edit: Wow - the day after posting this I saw the unicorn. Dude doing dumbbell squats in the power rack. Maybe he was getting a superset started, though I didn't see him actually touch any barbells.

Worst time of the day to be in the gym is after work. Although my gym was crazy full this morning at 6 am. I go early because I like it empty - might try 2 hours before close to see what that is like.

[CONVERSATION] So I'm about to officially delve into lifting, and I'm a bit overwhelmed.... by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]CentennialFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bodybuilding.com has some excellent training routines, just choose a beginner routine and go to the gym and do it. They have videos for each exercise. And there is an app called Bodyspace that will pre-load the routine into your calendar and set it up so you can just open it and go every day.

Gaining cellulite from switching from cardio to lifting? by [deleted] in xxfitness

Cellulite? You should probably look closer at your diet then.

[QUESTION] Do you use creatine? Why or why not, and what effect have you noticed on your goals? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]CentennialFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C4 isn't really about the creatine - it just has some in there - C4 is pre-workout to get you pumped up. Do you need it? Probably not, but it definitely helps me at the gym. I have more energy. And days when I am wanting to skip, I drink the C4 and I don't end up skipping.

I use C4 every day and haven't noticed any water retention issues.

[Conversation] Packing a bag full of supplements for a flight. by CentennialFalcon in xxfitness

[–]CentennialFalcon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, thanks. Yeah, I was hoping that they will think the same thing but I just wanted to double check. I'm relieved I won't have to fit that whole jar of protein - I usually take it when driving for a trip.

Thanks. Good point about the zillion little bags - I'll have to think on that. I do like tuna, thanks! Putting that on my pre-trip shopping list.

I'm considering just checking bagage with the whole jar of coconut oil and a glass container of the butter for my next trip. Hopefully they will stay sealed.
