    Where Did You/Do You Want To Go To College At?

    SLLLLLIIIIICK haha I mean SLCC Go to the U, man, SUU isn't bad but there's nothing down there (although you're pretty close to Zions so if you are into that). To answer the question, I have gone to a few colleges. Right after graduating high school I went to the University of Arizona, great school, beautiful women, warm, parties. It wasnt for me though and I left after freshman year. I then went to the New School of Architecture and Design, its a small private undergrad and grad school for architecture, urban planning and interior design. I was there for a year and a half and then decided that architecture wasn't what I wanted to do. I spent a year at the local community college taking random courses and graphic design courses and then did a semester abroad in Chile. I then transferred to the University of Utah where I have been for 2 years now. I am majoring in exercise and sport science and minoring in nutrition but it took me a year to decide that it was finally what I wanted to do. I plan on going to grad school for nutrition or exercise physiology.

    P90X is a pretty good program as far as home video workout programs go. I wouldn't recommend strictly following their diet recommendations though. Cut your calories about 10-20% below your maintenance level which is your BMR(basic metabolic rate) plus activity level and exercise. There are three formulas that you can use to estimate you're BMR and then multiply this number by an activity multiplier to get a rough estimate of your TDEE(total daily energy expenditure). This number will represent your maintenance which then you either add to(to gain weight) or subtract from(to lose weight). To save you the trouble of having to write out the whole formula, here is an automatic BMR calculator. If you would like to know the exact formula as well as the other formulas, I can write those out as well. After entering your Height, Weight and Age, we get your BMR as 1964.75, meaning that regardless of activity, your body needs on average around 2000 calories a day for vital functions. Now, we multiply this number by an activity multiplier. 1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2 2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375 3. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55 4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725 5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9 Now I don't know your lifestyle, but I know you are not sedentary, and the fact you are doing P90X means you are more than lightly active. However, people tend to overestimate their activity for this step. I will put you at moderately active and 1.55 x BMR So we end up having 1964.75 x 1.55 = 3045 Your maintenance level, the amount of calories you would have to eat to maintain your current weight is about 3,000 calories per day. To lose weight, we take 10-20% off this and get 2,400-2,700 cals. Next step is to look at your macro-nutrients (fats/carbohydrates/protein). A lot of people like to use percentages to divide their macros but it's largely irrelevant and will not fit every individual. What is important is that the fat and protein content of your diet is vital for specific physiological needs. There are varying ranges but generally you want to have .45g-1g of fat per pound of body weight. For you this would be 83-185g a day. In my personal opinion 1g per lb is WAY too much, especially if you are trying to lose weight. Unless an individual has hormone regulation issues, I firmly believe that .8g per is the highest someone should go for body composition purposes. Protein intake varies from 1g-1.5g per LBM or lean body mass which is everything but fat(this recommendation is for those interested in athletic fitness and body re=composition. For those interested in general health, lower levels of protein are adequate. Assuming your body fat % is rather average(15-20%) then I we will assume your LBM is your weight minus 17.5% of your body weight which = 153 pounds of LBM. For this we then get your protein range of 153-230g protein per day. Now we have fat 83-185g and protein 153-230g. Because you are attempting to get leaner, we will take the lower end of the fat and go with 100g a day which is .55g a day. Each gram of fat = 9 calories so then you would be consuming 900 calories of fat per day. With protein intake, it is important to keep it high when attempting to lean out and still maintain your LBM so we will take the high end 230g. Each gram of protein = 4 calories so then you have 920 cals per day. We add 900 + 920 = 1820 and then we subtract this from the calories you need to lose weight which is 2,400-2,700. We get 580-880 cals to be devoted to carbohydrates which are 4 calories per gram. We end up with 145-220g of carbohydrates per day. I recommend beginning with a smaller calorie deficit. So finally, we have 100g of fat/220g of carbohydrates/230g of protein = 2,700 calories per day to lose weight. Generally, on days that you lift weights and do more intense exercise, you keep fat low and carbohydrates moderate to high and on rest days, fat moderate and carbohydrates moderate to low. Certain individuals respond better to higher or lower amounts of carbohydrates so its important to play around with things and see what works best for you. Body re-composition is a trial and error process that needs to be reassessed as you progress. If you cease to lose weight, you can either further decrease cals or increase activity, but it's not an exact science. For my last thought, I will say that eating 'healthy' is not necessary, the nutrient profile of a food has very little to do with body composition, but rather general health and well being. This is why I try my best to eat as healthy as I can. However, because changing your body in terms of losing or gaining weight is reliant on thermodynamics, all that really matters is calories in and calories burned. As long as you hit your macros, you can eat whatever you like and see the results you want.

    What kicks do you have?

    I know where Matty is coming from, I don't specifically match shoes because most of mine go with whatever I wear but I am conscious of it. For the record I have more shoes than most women. Not going to list them all specifically 2 pairs rainbow sandals, I wear these a lot in the spring and summer 4 pairs black dress shoes 4 pairs running shoes, nike lunarglides +2 for working out, addidas for running, solomon xt trail running shoes for hiking, and then I keep another pair around for insurance. 1 pair of Steve Madden boots Then I have about 10 more pairs of casual sneakers, lots of different types, timberlands, steve maddens, sperry's, converse etc. Save the metro faggot remarks, I love pussy, and my shoes.

    Thanks man, it's not a traditional competition where there is a finished product on stage, everything is done online and we are required to post before, middle and after pictures of our progress as well as keep a daily log. I'm competing against about 30 other guys, several of them are pro bodybuilders, they're at a disadvantage though because it takes them much longer to improve their already impressive physiques. Injuries suck, I have a lower back injury that is still bothering me 3 months later, but it's finally starting to feel better. Good luck with the shoulder injury, that can be frustrating. Squats and deads are pretty standard in my routine, but no cleans.

    Ice Cream

    I thought maybe I had seen it other places, but could be wrong. Good call by Fartwaffles, though. Blue Bell is really good. Another pretty good store bought brand is Moose Tracks. On a related note(ice cream), I dated a girl last summer, and she had a part time job at Baskin Robins 31 Flavors. I got free ice cream all the time, it was awesome

    Ice Cream

    I have to try that one, sometime. As far as B&J goes, I have had Phish food, cookie dough, everything but the..., cherry garcia, mint chip, peanut butter cup, half-baked, cinnamon buns, chunky monkey, s'mores and possibly a few others that I can't recall haha. This is my usual mix I get at Cold Stone Cake Batter ice cream Peanut Butter cups Twix Bar Cookie Dough Brownies Marshmallows There's a morbidly obese adolescent living inside me.

    Ice Cream

    Props on the blizzards, I usually hit up a Dairy Queen if I pass one by, there aren't any out here in SLC though(that I know of, at least). NaTaS... yes I know, it is satanically good, but I do love it. I have to say though, if I am going out to get ice cream form like a parlor or whatever, I go with cold stone, I dig the texture of their ice cream over most others and I mix in shit like it's my job, the kid taking my order behind the counter always asks if I have worked there or something. On a Ben and Jerry's note, I heard a lot of hype around their new flavor called cinnamon buns, its like caramel flavored ice cream mixed with cinnamon roll dough and a cinnamon caramel swirl. Sounds really good, but to be honest they need something else mixed in, wasn't too impressed.

    Forgot to mention, above pictures are 150 lbs 10% body fat, I started at 165 lbs 15%. Basically, if you cover up my abs, and a little mass to everywhere else, you can get an idea of what I looked like at 165.

    So I said I would post some pics up here, and here they are. I don't have a specific before picture but I will try to locate one. I restricted my calories gradually for 2 months, starting at around 2,000 a day in early Feb to where I am at now at about 1,500. My maintenance, including a activity multiplier, is about 2,800 calories a day... that's just for reference.

    Yeah, I am pretty thin, man. Dont be mistaken though, I am very cut and I actually appear bigger than when I am at a higher weight. My waist is a 28 and I have a thin frame compared to others so that is part of it as well. My mass on my upper legs is lacking because I couldn't go heavy whatsoever with my back injury so normally I would be heavier with a lower bodyfat %, shit happens though. I will try and get some photos up here sometime

    I'm 6' tall It's actually interesting, because since I was in high school I always thought that I was closer to 6'2(6'3/4) but when I did some body composition tests up at the University testing lab a few weeks back i came up closer to 6' every time.
  22. No, it's evidence of a head strength and conditioning coach implementing a training regimen that is obviously too intense and grueling for his players to complete without suffering severe, negative effects. I don't have any knowledge of Iowa's head SCC or whether he was present during this workout, but the responsibility falls upon him regardless and this is unacceptable.
