Yes eat some but if you eat to many its not good for you high cholesterol from the yolks when you just eat the whites its just protein

it is not the eggs....more likely you could use some more magnesium.....the gel form absorbed through the skin will prevent the potential diarrhea from oral mag


and a separate multi mineral is almost never a bad idea

coq-10 is also essential for heart health, especially if you are on statins(almost always a bad idea!)....

I'll look into all of that. I am not on any statins, whatever those may be.

Are u just eatting the egg whites or the whole egg.. ? and how many last year when i was in full swing of fitness i was downing 10 eggs a day but only boiled and eating the whites and chucking the middle away but damn the egg farts are another story high protein diets are not good for the rear

The whole egg. I have 6 almost everyday.

also....one of the simple things that is easily overlooked....dehydration....and of course caffeine - for heart palpitations

I drink plenty of water, that is for sure. I usually have a gallon of it a day, on average, and two gallons isn't out of the question some days. My caffeine intake is close to non existent, maybe only a glass or two of soda a week, if that.

drinking that much water I would go back again to minerals.....especially magnesium....raw nuts and seeds are like little mineral supplements.....

Yeah, I could probably use something more stuff in me like that. Right now I am taking a multivitamin and zinc, but I guess it isn't enough.

If I didn't know better I would think that I was some sort of weird leopard that has purple spots. Other all of these bruises are a little annoying, not to mention the shoulder and knee pain. I was convinced to see the doctor, so tomorrow I will make an appointment to get looked at. Man I hate the doctor.

Saw the doctor, nothing is incredibly wrong just some soft tissue damage that will heal over time. All I need to do is stretch every so often and not do anything to damage it further.

I was told that my heart rate is on the higher side of okay, so I guess it hasn't been my imagination.

I hate being overweight and out of shape I have been my whole life. It isn't that noticeable when I wear my clothes it doesn't seem as if I'm large but when I take my clothes of I have some flab packs and some man boobs. I'm 5 foot 9 and I weigh 168 pounds. Even though I'm not large I don't like the way my body looks and I want all the flab to go.

primal stuff works....high fat ....low carb....lots of veggies...meats that you like...I lost 60 lbs easily and am keeping it off easily.....and look better than most 20 year olds............I am 50

mark sissons website "marks daily apple" is full of sensible advice.....everything I have tried has been right on.....he is after good, easy results....not over-working out or severe dietary restrictions...........very simple, and doable...long term..............and NO hunger

heart rate is a good indicator of recovery.................take it in bed in the morning before you get up......if it is higher than normal It may be a good idea to take the day off from exercise and just rest.....................rest is as important as working out

Edit: quick-replying 10 pages back was not that smart huh. anyways my good intentions are the same...
Hats off to you sir. I went through similar transformation some years ago. Wish i could go through it all again, success by success. But MAN - do things stagnate with time

You are doing everything right except refusing to adjust the weights.. (no rest time to spend between sets or what? are we training or making it comfortably here?).

Curling your deadlift weight is something IMO you will regret down the line. One thing is imbalances between strength and mass. But you miss out on lots of testosteron and potentiel mass/strenth/endurance, when your curl limits stuff like your deadlift and especially the squat (Men should kneel when mentionened).

Today i admit having a squatrack with barbells and fixed dumbbells (1-2 kg increments) all the way to 40kg's. But i adjustet them dumbbells like no tomorrow for a very long time. It even burns calories

I see now that you havent curled rescently, but my point is also valid when you mention easyness on the bench yesterday, but still proceed to an exercise (kneel) using more and stronger muscles - supposed to take a greater load.

So do i, I weigh more then you though, "my" Ideal weight is 180-185 but I'm 230 once again.


If I start getting into shape today it will take tell next year.

Everything is recovering smoothly, I have been advised to get a follow up, which I might do, to make sure my shoulder and knee are healing correctly. While I still cannot lift heavy things and my shoulder still has some limited movement I will try and walk around a little bit when I am supposed to exercise to make sure I am getting at least some sort of workout.

I decided to do some small bit of exercising to start getting back into things, but had to keep it really light to test the waters and not to injure my shoulder any further. There was some slight discomfort and doing the farmer's walk with dumbbells instead of the barbell was definitely uncomfortable. Best I decrease the weight of the barbell next time.
