Sweet potatoes instead of brown rice? Peas are good too for muscle growth correct?

I know about the grapefruit. I do prefer them but i'm a buy in bulk kinda guy and grapefruits just don't last long enough. Apples I know are way to sugary to eat daily.

When you say calorie deficit are you saying "eat less" in a nutshell?

Yep the rice is starchy so a better carb would be the complex ones.

Veggies/greens are good for fiber and keeping everything regular, also pretty much your multi-vitamin is what the veggies are giving you.

Sort of, so say that in order maintain your body as it is right now you are at 2600 calories and your decifit is -500, that's 2100 that you are running at per week. After the week is over weigh yourself and see the results, take measurements of BF. If no improvement, make the decifit -600 and so forth. Now you are at a 2000 calorie diet for week, weigh yourself again and take measurements and BF percentage.

You'll soon find your sweet spot to where it's working, that's how you can gage and find out where your body is most efficient.

Synthol isn't an anabolic steroid.

It wasn't related to your post. I was laughing at Synthol in general.

What else you got for me DP.

Nothing. I thought it was a response to my post. I cry your pardon. I have forgotten the face of my father and should be sent west.

Lots of great info here.

Get a clicker as well or even a BF scale (they are not entirely accurate but if you see the reading go down you know at least it's working on telling you that you have less BF)

I will hit up the 12-10-8-4 method from now until sept.

I will keep doing my cardio as I have been.

Keep NOT training abs.

Switch up my carbs from brown rice to sweat potatoes or peas

Do some deadlifts.

Buy a scale that reads BF (i know I won't use that clicker)

Wish me luck!

Skiman with awesome advice as always.

Out of pure fun, I would recommend a hydrostatic body fat test...just to say that you actually got one done!

In college, we had a cage in a pool where you had to sit on a seat (and obviously hold your breath) as they steady the scale.
They're much more advanced today, obviously, but it's a fun and interesting way to get the BF tested!

What are your guy's thoughts on sauna after weightlifting?

I have went through various Bodybuilding forums, and get the idea that its just up to you.

Just getting back into physical training, I had some injuries early last year that prevented me from lifting, but I am feeling good and getting back in the groove.

I have developed a good program, for me, during the time I was a guest of the state. Lots of bodyweight PT to "break the ice", but even after bodyweight stuff (dips, chin ups, press ups, crunches, burpees, etc. - the usual) is a mainstay, especially adding additional weight (some use weight vests, I like to make my own equipment LOL).

After a few weeks/a month I begin with the free weights. I focus on the basics, nothing fancy. But as I said above, bodyweight is generally my mainstay, I like to do all sorts of weird stuff too: farmers walks with cinder blocks, hauling, pushing, pulling, carrying heavy bags, buckets filled with sand, stuff like that.

A good book is Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik. Great thinking outside the box stuff. Luckily, I am naturally cut and very low-bodyfat, so I just focus on being "fighting fit", powerful strength and not necessarilly bulk or looks.
