How Do i Get Fitter?
The reason why i decided to join this was because i think that i am over weight for my age and i want to know how do i get fitter?
Ask the Expert
Well hello!
I haved just read your information and advice on Ephedrine. To say the least, i'm not happy.
I have been bodybuilding for over 12 years including winning numerous titles which we WILL not mention. Either way I am completely natural and always have been. To say that this stimulant only works with caffiene is extremely misleading.
I have been using this 'drug' for a long time. Only temporarly but the same dosage as any other fitness proffessional.
The fact that it cannot be used for short OR long muscle fibres (long distance and short distance) is complete nonesense.
When I use the correct dosage of this completely (legal) drug I can run 10 miles in my sleep and not be tired. I can usually only run 2 average miles a day.
Would you like to know the real kicker in this little charade???
I hate coffee.
I bet your thinking "well the caffiene must of kicked in".
Your wrong. Let me explain why:
I used to be an 18-30's club rep in Ibiza. This means I have pretty much done it all.
Caffiene effects me the same way as horlicks effects the elderly!!!!!
Lasts for a couple of minutes and then falls asleep.
OH. By the way I forgot to mention that i'm training to be a doctor, if you ever need any advice then please ask.
Soccer related questions
It will be great if the experts could answer these questions
1)What is the best books you recommened for soccer performance on your site?
2)Is there a way to implement periodisation for soccer practically speaking given soccer in season is a match or two every week?
3)What training methods from other sports(marathon running/sprinting, basketball) can be implemented into soccer training elements like agility,power,speed, stamina?
Need your help
I am trying to lose weight but with no success.
I have been going to box fit, body attack, aerobics and conditioning classes, I also run as well. I am eating healthily (low fat) and I have reduced my calorie intake.
Can you tell me where I am doing wrong?
