    How much water do you drink a day?

    Salt is essential but depending how clean you eat you probably don't need to add salt to things (except for flavour). Milk has heaps of salt in it so if you drink milk you probably won't be lacking in salt. Canned foods often are high in salt too. I guess if your sweating heaps and heaps then...

    40 Foods with Superpowers

    Does it have to be chocolate or will normal milk suffice? Why didn't they just write milk? Mens Health is full of bro-science, I wouldn't ever admit learning something from it. Half of their articles contradict themselves in the following issue anyway...

    Cardio.

    Cheers Dave I just came back to this thread and saw you'd replied to my post. I was just pointing out good things about running and you've pointed out other ways to get the same (or even better) benefits which I agree have merit. I used to run about 5-10km 3x week (interval runs) so I guess...

    How much water do you drink a day?

    I forgot to mention that the Suisse multi-vit Im taking in the morning sends my urine a flouro yellow when I go for a slash around 10:30am. Things are back to normal by the afternoon though... I wonder if it means the nutrients aren't required and Im eliminating them? Maybe I should have it...

    How much water do you drink a day?

    I subscribe to the "almost clear urine" theory. I know if Im dehydrated from exercise or in the morning after drinking too much alcohol my urine will be darker. My urine will be darker if Im run down or have the flu aswell, and so I use it as a cue to drink more water. I have a 1 ltr bottle...

    Canning the 6 meals, 'clean' eating, the Post Workout Anabolic Window and GI myths

    Ive just read this whole thread from beginning to end, thanks MB for all the info and thanks to everyone who asked questions and raised "arguments" so I don't have to. I don't resist these findings at all as I generally have breakfast, lunch and tea with morning afternoon and evening snacks...

    What is lactose intolerance?

    If you fon't mind me asking, how is being lactose intolerant an excuse for being fat? I can see why hormonal problems or glandular problems might be an "excuse" for being fat, but how does not drinking milk make you fat?

    Bulk Peanut butter/Almond spread

    I'd like to get some almond butter in bulk too, my Mrs bought a small jar (maybe 300g) on the weekend and it cost about $9. Im in Melbourne if someone knows a good market where they sell organic stuff that would be great...

    Let’s Lose Some Fat Mass…

    Ive now done this workout twice with burpees (including push-up and jump) as the intense exercise with very slow jogging as my active recovery. It definitely gets my body going and shouldn't effect my recovery from the SS program too much. TBH I didn't realise how hard it would be, even...

    Squat strength Lag

    Keep at it mate but essentially most people after training for a few months will be squatting much more than they can bench. That's a massive generalisation but generally benching body weight is a much bigger milestone than squatting body weight. If you have a look at peoples signatures you...

    Where to start - Fitness Modelling

    Hey MTC, good luck with the move over here. You wouldn't be contemplating the career unless you had a pretty good fitness base so good luck with it. I work for a pretty well known sports brand and all of our catalogues and conferences, showings of new ranges to customers etc require models...

    motivation and the excuses

    Im not afraid to admit I make excuses at times. Some times I don't train because I think I need an extra days rest or I'll fail my lifts, which is an excuse I put down to fear of failure. Surprisingly though I've found that some of my best workouts have been when I was feeling depressed...

    Let’s Lose Some Fat Mass…

    Im going to give this a go. I hit the gym 3-4 times a week on average but Im pretty sedentary on the off days. I can easily find 10mins/day to do this (without too much preparation or having to drive anywhere, get up early etc). Let's see if I can maintain it.

    Haha im pretty sure we all had pretty ugly bowel movements when we were breast feeding so yu wouldn't really know. But i know where you are coming from, kids just used to be a-holes, now they have ADHD, bludgers used to be lazy, now they have chronic fatigue, overweight people have glandular...

    Can someone please confirm for me the difference between a low/high bar positioning. Is it about 3 inches?

    All Dairy is Bad!(?) - Please discuss

    Yes I agree mostly with what you are saying, measuring health depends on what variables the measurer places value on, and personally I tend to take a pretty holistic approach. The only loophole would be someone on a road to ruin who doesn't realise something they think makes them healthy or...

    GYMS kicked out

    I was wondering this too jz.... maybe its the guys doing dumbell bench presses that drop 'em afterwards that annoys the trainers. I know its a bit loud when i put down my deadlifts even though Im still holding onto the barbell...its hardly going to damage the equipment though. Maybe they are...
