    Actually i was at level 5 at 100 rpms and could pass 120bpm, yes i can get pretty high but that was while squatting, to maintain a steady 135bpm its hard since it only happens while doing HIIT, i guess this is the result of HIIT 3 times a day!!

    Is called WAHOO FITNESS, the strap and sensor for iphone $114 i believe, the iphone app is free!

    It is true that as you get fitter your resting heart rate is likely to drop and that CAN make it harder to get up to your max but 135 shouldn't be a problem. Especially as the pic you posted says the max was 167!

    IF it is a problem, then I suggest you do HIIT after your lifting instead. Except after legs, a steady pace on the bike will do.
    Yeah i did the formula wrong, anywys i'll try eliptical tomorrow, i do it on the afternoons but never in the mornings.

    The max there was while squatting SteM or while i do HIIT other than that it never gets that high at least not easily

    Yes i do as well but at the beginning, i still do but i hardly get that high, remember ive been doing 3 sets of 20 mins HIIT every day for the past 3 months plus racquetball on weekends so my HR gets better and better, thats the whole purpose of the cardio. I have saved each workout ive done while using the HR monitor and trust me, is good, better than the watch but with time it has gradually decreased though!! These photos are of the past weekend racquetball and also yesterdays cardio.

    I have a very important question regarding gear and doing it before 25, since there are a lot of new threads here where people are going on gear an most people have suggested to stay off of it because of age and damage that can be caused i was wondering how could you tell if you damaged anything while doing gear the wrong way and at the wrong time??

    I did a cycle of sustanon an deca durabolin i believe they are spelled about 6-7 yrs ago, i was about 22, long time so dont remember exact details anymore!! Now i would like to know if i damaged anything!!

    Just finished my workout, felt really good but i tell you my glutes are on fire from yesterdays leg workout.
    Added a few exercises like leg press and lunges. Todays chest, shoulder, traps was awesome, exhausting, going back to heavy lifting feels great!!

    Yeah they are good, i use them all the time, i actually have 4 pairs so i can swith them out every week for clean ones while the other gets cleaned. Now i need gloves which i havent used in probably 6 yrs, my straps when i do bench press they into my skin in the palm of my hand, actually hurts.

    So i need gloves for almost everything and straps for the rest, but im lazy as you already know so using gloves and having to take them of each time is a pian in the neck for me!

    1 cup water
    3/4 cup cottage cheese (1% milkfat, no salt added)
    2tbsp cacao powder (natural, unsweetened)
    6 packets splenda (or stevia, whatever you prefer)
    1/2 cup oats
    1 cup crushed ice
    2tsp instant coffee (I like Foldger's)

    optional (sometimes I add these)
    a 'squirt' of sugar free chocolate syrup
    a 'spash' of fat free half & half

    Blend, scrape down the sides, blend again until smooth - delicious protein smoothie, done in 5 mins!!!

    PS - needless to say you can and should adjust measurements to fit your own macros.
    ^^ This sounds freakin amazing.... I can't wait to get off my diet and try that sucka out!

    Splenda all you want
    nutmeg, dash if you so desire
    drop of vanilla, if desired
    baking powder about 2 teaspoons


    First: Blend the oats in a blender until real powdery (no water just blend dry )
    Add all the above ingredients and blend until a good consistency for a pancake


    Cook on griddle/pan which should be real hot after sprayed with Pam....and then cook like a regular pancake


    TOP with:
    Sugar free syrup
    and banana or raspberries with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt to spread around the pancake and sprinkle some splenda on top of the yogurt
    -or-
    fry an egg with Pam and top your pancake with the egg


    ENJOY!


    MAKES 3 BIG PANCAKES! so good for 3 meals.
    ^^ Again... sounds retarded good... can't wait to give these a try!

    Good to hear, just remember to look back and see results, it's a huge boost in motivation as you dont want to give up all the hard work you've achieved. Welcome to the forum and good luck!!
