    Are you Muslim? If so, you'll feel very comfortable in Europe in a few decades: http://www.hudson-ny.org/1536/islam-religion-of-europe By the end of the century, it will be mostly Islamic almost for sure...

    You can, if you're okay, use the intervals as supplemental to your regular routine. That's what most athletes do from what I've read. Core training is kind of used the same way. In other words, you might want to consider not alternating back and forth but rather backing off on your regular...

    Anything intense like HIIT will send your growth hormone through the roof, which is good, and will tend to lean you out all things being equal.

    It is VERY hard to get lean meat. Wild game is typically about 5% fat and a modern cow or pig 30%. It is very difficult to compensate for that and most guys will drown in their own cholesterol with these kind of saturated fat levels unless they are very careful.

    You can be in the gym longer than 30 minutes and athletes do it all the time. But you MUST build up slowly, have lots of rest, relatively low stress and excellent nutrition. And, of course, the older you get, the more careful you have to be. This is very important and I will tell you why...

    Yes, it is and they're playing with fire. The problem is that they are bypassing the body's normal inhibitory feedback mechanisms in the case of IGF-1. This abstract discusses this in detail: https://www.transd.com/growth-Hormone-IGF-1-cancer.php You can get nice boosts in HGH from...

    And a lot of the ones near middle age are probably using HGH which will lean you out. Very dangerous long term btw: exogenous HGH also boosts IGF-1.

    Dang you're annoying! Take your biceps: When you start to put on muscle, it changes the way your arms fall at your sides. It actually changes the way you move. It even can change your coordination levels depending on how much you put on. You can feel the contractile strength and the...

    I can. There's lots of things the bod - even an old one like mine - will tell you if you listen. This is a real issue with guys. They usually can take a lot of pain and will ignore warning signs such as "my knee hurts", "my ankle is a little swollen", "my shirt feels looser", "my pulse rate...

    I agree with some of what you wrote. But, again, you want to try to avoid shedding muscle if you're losing weight. This is particularly true for many overweight guys who have not been working out. They don't have a lot of muscle underneath that fat and then they drop they pounds and lose even...

    No, I didn't mean to say what you wrote above. I'll have to reread my post to see exactly what I said. I do have to comment, though, that the typical weight lifter (or even sprinter that wants to put muscle on his quads) will have a baseline calories level of 2,500-2,700 calories and needs...

    Didn't mean to say anyone eating less than 3,000 calories is a muscle wasting mess. Also, realize we're largely on the same team: I am primarily a vegan at heart but supplement with whey and egg whites. Our primary difference is that I eat low fat as well to clear out my arteries as I'm 50.

    Read everything you can on nitric oxide as far as sexual function. This is more important than testosterone. There are MANY things that affect nitric oxide from diet to sleep to supplements. It's a huge subject and I don't even know where to begin. But your issue almost for sure has nothing...

    Nothing personal but I can tell you're not a lifter and/or not over the age of 25-30. When you lift you can actually feel when you are putting on muscle and you can feel when you are shrinking. And if you cut calories or overtrain or don't get enough protein, you can tell nothing is happening...

    Also, I think it's ironic that you claim calories are less than 3,000 per day when that is the typical level for a more vegetarian lifestyle and some of the healthiest cultures eat in this range...
