    You're into all this extreme work-out and dieting, yet you don't give your body any recuperation period? You should give your body a day break after each work-out day, you're just piling up acid in your muscles without breaks and that is counter-productive and unhealthy. Your muscles need some time to regenerate and build up, that is in fact when they gain in size. You can still do cardio in between though.

    Interesting!

    There were a series of exercises and tests on BBC not so long ago. Apparently, not everyone is equally responsive to a particular exercise and it's a lot to do with genetics. What works for you may not work for others and vice versa. From my observation, this makes sense.

    I reckon you need to be super disciplined or enjoy exercises a lot.

    I do different types of squats. 100 each. I didn't know squats would be such fun!

    The problem with exercises is that I get hungry ALL THE TIME! I never get fat no matter how much I eat though.... and I eat A LOT!

    If you're active and burning energy, you can logically take in more without putting on weight.
    And yes, genetics play a role in the way your muscle areas are lined up and which features will grow more prominent more easily.

    I exercise every second day, I do push-ups, crunches, squats, yoga and some weights on biceps, but i don't use any other weights or any technical help. I grow very hungry but I'm satisfied quite quickly as well curiously enough.

    Ah crunches - I like them as much as I like squats. Yoga is a bit dull for me. Mix it with stretching at the start and the end of each exercise but just doing yoga on its own is really boring, I find. Most probably, it's something to do with my impatient nature.

    Cardio is another one. There's gotta be some form of cardio exercise that I like but can't seem to find one yet. Not many varieties out there for this, are there? Something that I can mix with squates or/and crunches at the same time? Repetition in squates and crunches can hardly qualify as cardio exercise....

    OP's gone awol! I like reading his food list more than anything.

    It's fascinating to me to see someone obsess over their nutrition and work-out schedule so much apparently. All the more power to you if you enjoy it! I don't take it as seriously myself I enjoy the "pushing" myself and doing it regularly, i love feeling spent after working out and the burning hunger sensation. But i don't count calories etc...

    Oneandonly: best cardio for me is swimming. I hate running/cycling, it's boring as hell for me, and I love swimming. Swimming is also a good way to build up your joints and sinews, and works as an additional form of muscle build-up as well, if you do it intensely.

    Yeah I heard that swimming is the best all round exercise. I had a life threatening experience, almost drown to death so cannot actually swim - what a shame! I've tried a one to one lesson but to no avail.

    Same here, I cannot be bothered with keeping track of what I eat and what calories and etc, which is why I find OP's food list very interesting and I get some idea for my meals for a change! lol

    I do "know" what I eat, I just don't bother with obsessing over how much XY and YX is in what..obviously i'm not gonna pig out on sweets, fats etc....most of the rest is OK as long as you keep active. I just try to eat as much and work out as much for me to feel good with myself and like myself in the mirror..takes a while to get there but all worries pass at that point ^^
