will, the chicken in a can is actually quite good. i get swanson i think is the brand name. it can be dry but if i am real hungry and need a quick shot of protein, i'll eat it from the can. it is also good in a salad. we use it to make chicken salad sandwiches too.

Is biking for a mile or so after running a good or bad thing?


Also, is it harder to run outside in the cold if you're used to running inside?

I don't know if it's bad but I do it all the time. It's a great fat burner.

Re: For all you guys wanting to gain muscle, size, etc.

Thanks colkilla. I'm going to try and pick some up at the grocery today. I hope I can stomach it, because as busy as I've been lately, something quick like that would be GREAT.

Screw the chicken in the can. The new flavored Starkist Tuna packs are DA BOMB!!

I like the Sweet and Spicty flavor myself!

Re: For all you guys wanting to gain muscle, size, etc.

I can't eat Tuna though... I'm allergic to it, lol.. plus, it tastes horrible.

also, have you smelled it?

Easily the worst thing at work is making Tuna Salad, which requires tuna and mayo maybe my 2 most despised foods ever.

Re: For all you guys wanting to gain muscle, size, etc.

I'm interested in losing some of the flab from when I was fat (was 202lb when I was 13, lost about 50lb in a year). Mainly around the chest and arms. I used to have bigger tits than some of the chicks in my grade, it was horrible. Unfortunately, some of that fat still remains on my chest and arms, even though I'm now 6'0 and about 175.

I can't afford a gym membership right now, and quite honestly, in Los Angeles it's absolutely impossible to drive two miles to a gym every day.

So, are there any "home" remedies for my problem?

Pushups and dips. You can also buy a bench and a weight set and some dumbbells.

What are dips? I'm even less experienced than a beginner when it comes to working out stuff.

Depending on you position your back (straight or parrallel to the ground) you can work your chest or tris.

Honestly man, I'd go out and get some dumbells... I have some nice equipment in my apartment, but I've noticed the most gains, especially in toning/cutting, with my dumbell workouts. Just get some from wherever, and find a good workout online. It's relatively easy and inexpensive.

Re: For all you guys wanting to gain muscle, size, etc.

Thanks for the tips, guys. Now the only problem is having enough space in my room for that stuff. My room is VERY small, more like an office than a room. I'll see what I can get done though. There's no excuses.

For the dips, is there a way I can get something like that in the home without having to get a full-on exercise machine?

Just use a chair. Put your hands on the front edge of the chair and put your feet straight out and sit them on your bed or another chair. Your hands are behind you rather than beside you but its a similar exercise that obviously requires no money to do.

Dumbells are how I started as well... there is a LOT you can do. I've posted this link in the past, and it's GREAT. Just click on the bodypart you want to work and you get a full list of workouts. They have it broken out by machine, dumbell, etc as well... VERY useful:

As for the canned chicken, the brand I get is Kirkland Signature. I'm not crazy about the salty seasoning they put in there... but like I mentioned, a quick rinse with water takes care of it. I either just eat it alone or put it in a variety of things... salad, a sandwhich, pasta, etc. I'm lucky to have a job where I can just whip it out and scarf it down whenever I want. Half a can in the morning, and half in the afternoon!
