My favorite is the personal "trainer" who probably has triple the bodyfat % of their client.

Yeah, I realize 5lbs in that time is sh!tty. I just thought it was pretty good because I was weight lifting for a class so I had limited time (some days I wouldn't be able to get the whole workout in) and since I'm a broke ass college student I never had good food to eat. Thanks for the...

I'm going to be heading home for the Summer so I will be able to eat a cleaner diet and a heavier calorie diet. I'm hoping to bulk about 8lbs over the Summer. Since I want to gain this weight for MMA I will also be doing heavy cardio to lower my bodyfat substantially and improve my endurance...

I was wondering where I can find some body fat calipers that measure accurately. I don't have much money so the cheaper the better. Can you guys point me in the right direction.

I have been having trouble making any gains. I've been lifting for about 2 months and have been eating like a horse, but I haven't gained a single pound in that time. I have been able to increase the amounts I'm lifting and the reps I can do per set though. Do you guys have any explanations...

Sounds exactly like my story. Was in a long LTR and she broke up with me, picked up MMA to distract me and ended up looking for ways to get in better shape to improve my performance in the sport. Still not completely over her, but now I do MMA and work out for my own enjoyment, not for her...

I've noticed this too, not so much because I eat so much when I'm high, but more because I just notice how out of shape I'm getting when I'm high, or at least areas of my body that need some work. Though I do eat a lot when I'm high as well, haha.

I guess I'll just have to stop smoking when it comes time for me to get into MMA shape, but in the offseason I can smoke, haha.

Is it possible to smoke weed and still get in good cardiovascular and muscular shape? If it's impossible to do so, does making edibles make a difference?

Ok, so I've tried making a workout routine using advice from Diesel's guide to bulking up. I'm not really sure on the weight that I will be needing yet as I don't really have much experience in the gym. My first week will be used to see how much weight I should be using. Any advice or tips...

We eat more than once a day to keep our glycemic index from getting out of wack. When this does get wacky people start to develop diabetes and hypoglycemia.

I am trying to gain around 15 pounds so I can move up a weightclass for MMA, but I was wondering, after i gain the weight, how do i keep it on and not gain more? Any help is appreciated.

What's an MRP? You listed it as something you eat, but I have no idea what it is.

Thanks a lot. Will rolling, doing mat body weight excercises, and lifting at higher reps with less weight help me bulk though? I want to go up a weight class so I can fight in the lightweight division (I'm a little guy :( haha), maybe even welterweight if I can put on a good amount of weight...

So, I've started training Jiu Jitsu at the moment, and it's one hell of a workout. After my first day my entire body was sore for 2 days (ouch). I train 2 days a week, tues. and thurs. I'm wondering if I should keep lifting while training, or should I wait and just do conditioning and...
