Yeah, I can understand it being a stress reliever. What kind of stuff are you doing in the gym for that long? I guess it all depends on what you're doing.

Hey guys,

I'm following a high-intensity strength training workout program. It only takes me 45 minutes to workout, but it's REALLY hard. I do supersets of 4 exercises (squats, dumb bell overhead...

BuiltLean.com has good stuff too.

Did anyone mention StrongLifts.com? He has great exercises and is focused on building real strength.

I hear it's really good for you. It apparently has something to do with making your body more alkaline.

Anyone use it? Have you noticed any health benefits from it?

Thanks,

Hey guys,

I just read an article on BuiltLean.com and it was interesting because it talked about the anti-nutrients in wheat products like lectin. But what REALLY got me is that it said raw...

Wow, lots of awesome posts on this thread!

I think if you naturally get that lean, that's awesome. But I see lots of people online trying to engineer themselves to get down to that level. It just...

I know getting ripped is an obsession for lots of guys. I can totally understand where it comes from, as I myself am working to get more muscular, but the concept of "getting ripped" sounds like body...

Great advice here. Here's a sample workout you can follow:

I warm up with 10 bodyweight squats, 25 pushups, 7 pullups, and 10 lunges (twice).

Then I do this:

Squats: 155lbs x 8
Dumbbell...

Thanks Rob. I am still new here, so I'm taking it all in and experimenting with what works best for me. I definitely still have a lot of reading to do.

Thanks to all!

Hey Jimmy,

Yeah, I do all of the exercises, one after another and then rest for 1-2 minutes before doing it again. After completing 2 cycles, I feel like crying... lol

Yeah, I guess it's called HIIT with strength training. Monday was deadlifts x 8 (165lb) followed by plyo-pushups x 8 followed by lunges with dumbbell presses x 8 (45 lb dumbbells) followed by...

Thanks guys!

I'm starting to get nervous of all of my food choices now, LOL. I read on another Paleo blog that yogurt is bad for you, so I'm confused about cheese now. I thought the general rule...

Thanks guys. I'm brand new to Paleo, and still feeling it out... trying to understand the philosophy, etc.

I snack on "healthy" stuff to avoid being tempted to eat the junk food around me. Plus,...

Hey guys,

I've been working out for the past 2 months. Mostly compound, fuctional, full-body exercises like squats, rows, dumbbell presses, deadlifts, pullups, etc.

Ok, so I'm starting to rethink my reliance on edamame, greek yogurt, and sprouted bread as a healthy snack option. It's too bad because I kept these high protein items at work to keep me from...

I just read this article that helps clear up my questions about edamame and sprouted bread. Not the worst, but definitely not primal:

Is Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread Healthy? | Mark's Daily Apple

Thanks for the replies guys.

I've been reading a lot more about Paleo lately and it just makes sense. There's been years of social programming that I'm starting to reassess.

Hey guys,

I've recently started a workout plan, and have given up a lot of processed foods and am eating lots of protein. I've been eating a lot of:

-sprouted bread
-edamade
-greek yogurt...

Thanks Misti.

I'm trying to follow the Paleo diet more and more. My stepdad has been and he loves it. Hoping to learn more here.

Best,
Raza
