Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

He could always use unsweetened almond milk. I primarily use it for my protein shakes, and on occasion I've used it with my chocolate or banana nut cheerios. I'm not the type that puts a lot of milk in my cereal, just enough to get it wet. I find there to be no taste difference or anything using almond milk.

yeah thats why i mentioned cow milk specifically. i've never tried almond milk with cereal. i pretty much gave up on cereal because i didnt want to start off the day with over 80g of carbs in my body. the serving sizes are alittle too ridiculous for my taste.

I've been using my KB a little bit this week and I found my ceiling is too short for over head stuff. Had to remove some ceiling tiles so I had room to work. Looks a bit strange, but hey, whatever works, right?

Yeah, you'll want the room for snatches. One of the most effective full body exercises there is.

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

So I picked up some jack3d. It was on sale at GNC, and I've had a lot of people recommend it to me. Today's my first day with it, so we'll see how it goes.

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

I love Jack3d.

I decided to take a couple days off from lifting. My body really felt like it needed it, because I've been hitting it VERY hard for a couple weeks.

I may very well wait it out until tomorrow.

It's better to do a protein shake immediately upon waking up. Within an hour or so, a real breakfast like eggs with turkey bacon.

Unsweetened rolled oats in a protein shake does wonders for appetitive control in the morning.

Almond milk is what I use in my coffee instead of regular milk / sugar.

Also, many are not aware that non-fat, 1%, 2% milk is unhealthy for you. The process and chemicals used to get it down to that percentage is not good. After a workout, the tried and true chocolate milk is best along with some protein whey for faster absorption.

I feel you. I used to have a serious cereal addiction. Right now I'm doing Intermittent Fasting, so I really only touch cereal to try and get my calories up. Often I'll have days where I know I'm not eating more than 800-1000 calories. I'm not starving myself, I just am not hungry.

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Anyone use the PowerBlock dumbbells? I'm either looking at the SelectTech 1090's, or a set of PowerBlocks. I've never seen the PowerBlock in person, but have read some pretty good things about them.

I have used both. Personally, I think the 1090's are just too bulky when doing certain exercises. The powerblocks will probably last longer even though they have that cheap feel.

My personal preference: Ironmaster if you are looking for an all-in-one setup for the higher weights. Go powerblocks if you don't have to go beyond 90 lbs and prefer faster weight changes..

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Very nice, I have 552's, and dumbbells in increments above that, but my little girl's toys are overtaking my workout space, so have to go for space saving. Had some 1090's a little while ago, so know what you mean about that. I'll look at the Ironmaster's too.

Maybe so.
But I'll go through my checklist....
-carcinogens and who knows what else buried in my lungs from the World Trade Center....check
-carcinogens from all the friggin' plastic that burns in house fires nowadays thanks to everything being made cheap as could be....check
-CO poisoning about a dozen times from taking a feed when I ran out of air at work....check!
-Eating Slim Jims and Orange soda when I was a kid....check!

My body is laughing at the "milk process"!!!!

(I know what you're saying, but I'm not giving up milk(COW) in my cereal or half and half in my one cup of coffee per day!!!

Why would you want to do that? Your body is designed to process food, it doesn't need to be cleansed.

Figure out what you should be eating, and eat less then that and the weight will come off.
