    Fast food (even including Subway) is the worst when it comes to added sugar to bread.

    In a 6" sub at subway, depending on bread, the bread alone has 210-250 calories in it.

    For reference, a 20 oz bottle of Mountain Dew has 280 calories...the bread at Subway has nearly as much as a MD.

    McDonald's goes the other route, a crap ton of salt in their buns.

    Regular store bought bread with sugar added probably has 180 calories for 2 slices.
    No sugar added bread has 80 calories (or less) for 2 slices.

    Bread is great in a diet (fiber, filling, etc) but to really help it should be no sugar added bread...that really drops the calories/carbs.

    Bread is great in a diet? Fiber? I gotta laugh at that. Do people really think you get fiber from things like bread, cereal, pasta, etc? What about eating tons of veggies? I'll tell you what. Eat 8-10 servings of broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, etc...per day and you're getting more fiber in a week than you do in 2 months from any of that stuff.

    This is essentially how I train. It's been referred to as "powerbuilding." An emphasis on a major compound movement (bench, squat, deads, overhead press) for lower reps (power) followed by assistance work for higher reps (more of a bodybuilding approach). Coupled with proper diet, it works very well.....

    I'm a big proponent of this philosophy. The rep schemes/number of sets will change, but the main exercises stay the same.....

    Low fat diets are bullshit.

    Finally started working out again today. Was refreshing. Worked out with 3 other guys, and we did a 3 round rotation of 4 exercises each round, 3 sets each round. Looked like this:

    Bi-Tri-Ab-Cardioish/Misc
    7-ups, plate extensions, bugs, jump rope (repeat 3x)
    Incline curls, chair dips, hip rock & raise, burpees (repeat 3x)
    Hammer, push downs, planks, box jumps (repeat 2x)

    We did these on 45 second intervals, rest 15 secs, on to the next one. My heart was pumping, and I sweat my ass off. Good first day back.

    What the Hell is a "7-up?"

    Basically splitting up a full range barbell curl. Use light(er) weight. 7 reps from full extension to half way (90 degrees). 7 reps from half way (90 degrees) to chest. 7 reps at full range.

    You mean "21's."

    Yes. I knew there was another name for it. 7-ups is what the guys had written on the board.

    What are bugs?

    Basically, it's lying down on your back, and making a ladder climb motion with your legs and arms, never letting them touch the ground. An ab workout.

    Again, another stupid name in my opinion, but what the guys had written on the board.

    For a little "change of pace" to spur growth, try a new variation of the "3 sets of 10" for a bodypart.

    Take a weight that you can do 6 reps for your 1 RM, using dumbbell curls (for instance). Do your first set of 6, take a 15-20 second break, using the same weight, do as many reps as possible (it may be only 5 reps), take another 15-20 second break. Continue this until you reach 30 reps total. You will get a nice pump and some fat burning effects from the limited time between sets.

    I do a lot of this type of weight lifting.

    I do 1 of 2 things:
    1. I do a rotation of 2-4 exercises where I go right into the next after finishing the first. I go around the 2-4 different exercises for 3-4 sets of the same weight 6-10 times each rotation.
    2. If for some reason I can't do #1 (equipment occupied, not near the other equipment, etc) I will start at my "max rep weight" where I can do 6-10 reps. I do as many as I can at max rep weight. I waist no time, just take 10 lbs off and go right into second set and do as many as I can. Rinse/repeat for at least 3 sets, sometimes I have done up to 10 sets like this. I did bench one day last week like this from 215 down to just 55 (bar plus 5s), I think that worked out to 17 sets....I was sore the next day.

    When I am weight lifting, no matter what the situation, I don't stop moving, 1 set right to another whether it is the same exercise or a different.

    I am going to try this instead of a strip down on my next arms day.

    The hardest part about ice skating is telling your parents that you are gay.
