Some Advice on muscle building and buring this fat?

hi, happy new year to all





Right i currently weighing in at 180LBS (13 Stone) I鈥檝e been loosing weight all the through 2007 so i no all about dieting and what to do to loose weight, but im struggling now.





I want to slim down like a nice slim body. lots of people have been telling me that if i do cardio and then weights the fat will drop off me because muscle burns the fat quicker. I just want to loose this Fat and get a nice toned body .





So i have decided to go on a low calorie diet, and take some protein shakes, because they apparently boost your metabolism. At 4pm after college i will be going to the gym for 45 minutes doing cardio work, then at 7pm i will be going to the gym again and doing the weight machines for about 2 hours.





i think this will work in my opinion, can someone just tell me if this will work and if they have any extra ideas i can stick into my plan.


Age: 17


Height: 5ft 10


Weight: 180LBS (13 Stone) Lost so far 60LBS





I will vote best answer,Thanks allSome Advice on muscle building and buring this fat?
It looks like the perfect routine.


Nothing beats healthy eating.





Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.


For best results, eat six times a day. Try balancing your meals 70% protein 30% carbs.





Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels.


Eat your proteins from lean sources (Chicken, fish, boiled eggs, lean beef with all the fat drained off) and beans (lentil, lima, chile or any type of bean)





For your carbs stay away from breads and rice. They do provide energy but they are high in calories. Choose leafy vegetables, carrots, raisins, broccoli and fresh fruits. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.





Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA


Good Luck !!!Some Advice on muscle building and buring this fat?
doing sit ups and pushups helps u alot


also consider taking swimming which helps all the muscles in the body do some squats with some weights and yes working out is good but try not to do it too much because i got stretch marks by doing this also eat some meat which helps gain muscle but not too much to the point that ur full.
Working cardio for 45 min and the doing two hours of weight lifting is just stupid and you will burn out within a week of doing that. Just burn more calories than you take in and do a little weight training on the side and it would be great for you.
cardio cardio cardio. The more sweat you release the more pounds you drop. Id personaly recommend a big upbeat fun cardio at home dvd like hip hop abs .....believe me you dont even feel like you working out ...or take a spansh dance class like the mamnbo or something thats fast and moves your hips..... it worked wondors for me





i was 175 and got down to 130


**in 2 months!!!!!!


with of course eating healthy and only 1500 claories a day


best wishes, and good luck!!

Building a bike, need advice?

hi


im buidling a bike (bicycle) and i have a budget of 拢500


i was thinking og using fox forks anf a giant xtc frame, mabe shimino deore gear system


any thoughts


txBuilding a bike, need advice?
I'm sorry to say you won't go far with 拢500. I just bought a complete Giant XTC for 拢350 - the XTC 4.5, It was originally on for 拢500, and even that is cheap compared to what it would cost to build it yourself.





I did build a bike from scratch back in the 80's, but that was using a second hand racing frame, second hand wheels and the other parts I saved up for out of my college grant. It still cost a lot of money though.Building a bike, need advice?
As the 拢 improves bike components are becoming cheaper. However, 拢500 is not a great budget for hand building. The XTC is a nice frame, although the oversized seat post transferes a lot of vibration to the but.





However, regardless of which frame you are after, you are looking at about 拢200 for the frame. 拢200 for gears. 拢100 for chainset. 拢50 for casset. 拢50 for bar and stem. 拢300 for fox forks. 拢150 for wheels + 拢50 for tyres, 拢20 chain. 拢20 for various cables. 拢150 for disc brakes.


拢20 saddle, 拢30 for seat post.





You get the idea.





I would buy an older model XTC and upgrade that. Pay about 拢400 for an 08 model and then upgrade key components. Primarily I would shorten the stem and put an XT casset on the back. I would also dump the Kenda tyres for something faster.





Try this site:





www.paulscycles.co.uk





Luck
you've no chance with the budget you have,you won't get a fox shock for less than 300,your deore group-set will set you back another 200 at least,you've still got to get wheels,tyres bars,stem and seat-pin,you'll need a budget of at least 1000,but good-luck trying.
Ready built will always be cheaper. But have fun anyway.
Giant XTC frame is fabulous. To stay in your budget don't buy really expensive ';less important'; parts. You can always upgrade these later. Like stem, seatpost, pedals or chain or even brakes (unless you're going disc which is worth it if you're buying a higher end disc set). Put your money into the drive train first - cassette and crank, then into shifters and brakes. What wheels are you getting? Nice wheels are a small fortune.





Are you buying used parts? Or salvaging parts from another bike? It may be difficult staying in your budget if you're intending to buy full deore with an XTC frame and good wheels.





You'd probably be better off buying an XTC bike with manufacturer components and swapping them out as you want to upgrade.
You will end up spending twice the amount that a new bike will cost. Manufactures buy parts by the truckload and for a fraction of the price it takes to buy one piece. They assemble the bike and pass the savings on to you. Get a bike that has most of the components you like and change the ones you don't like.

Building web pages, need advice?

I use to be pretty good at building web pages about 7 years ago, but never kept up with the lastest technology. I would like to get back into doing them again and doing graphic designs too. I would like to know what software, books, maybe online schools, that can help me get back into building web pages again?Building web pages, need advice?
Being out of it as long as you have, you should really brush up on XHTML and CSS. Some might suggest ASP .NET or PHP for this question but so much has changed in 7 years it's imperative you get down with XHTML and CSS first. A good book on CSS is 'Eric Meyer on CSS' and there are so much resources on the Internet about XHTML already a book really isn't required.





To find out why XHTML exists, visit W3's site: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/





As soon as you are ready, you have the major choices I mentioned above for serving side scripting: ASP .NET (with the actual scripting being done in C# or VB7) or PHP.Building web pages, need advice?
It depends. If you want to build static web pages you should learn XHTML and CSS.





Building dynamic web pages, i.e pages which load their contents from Databases, you'll need to learn a server side scripting language like PHP, or some other similar technology like ASP.NET





you can find lots of resources here


http://www.w3schools.com/
Well, you got alot of books with this thematic (for example ';Creating Web Pages For Dummies'; by the Bud Smith and Arthur Bebak) but the best solution is to buy firstly some program support (as Dreamweaver od Front Page Express) and read their tutorials. There you'll find basics and after you'll beginn with work, day by day you'll make it better. Veradisca %26amp; Best Regards, Neven.
Right now, semantic coding is what's most important as opposed to pretty design. By that I mean using each tag in accordance to its role (ie h1 for heading as opposed to a table cell; p for paragraphs not divs; tables only for tabular data).





Another thing that everyone is aiming for, is separating style from content. Put all the styling inside an external stylesheet and use classes and ids (where needed) to apply them to the html tags.





Also, you need to keep in mind that disabled people will need to be able to read your site: color contrast, order coding, links(anchors) to navigation/content...





As for the server side scripting: ASP.NET seems to be the latest trend, however PHP is also pretty popular. You can do more with ASP.NET though.

Building first computer. need advice?

Any advice on design/building a drywell to spare my septic from water softener + filter cleaning discharge?

My water softener and filter currently discharge (about 97 gallons each week) into my septic system. I heard this was bad for the septic. My septic service co. agreed. The water filter service said this was perfectly safe.


Septics are too expensive to risk a failure. I would like to reroute the discharge to avoid any problems. Any suggestions for a drywell design would be very helpful.


Does the drywell require a vent stack?


How far away from the house do I need to place the drywell?


I live in NH so I need to consider freezing.Any advice on design/building a drywell to spare my septic from water softener + filter cleaning discharge?
It is only water with very minute amount of solids. If you have an acquit leak field the softener flush should not have any effect. You should listen to the water filter people. You are spinning your wheels and are looking to spend money that don't need to be spent.Any advice on design/building a drywell to spare my septic from water softener + filter cleaning discharge?
97 gals. is such a small amount of water that I would not worry about. Is your septic service NUTS!!!!!I never met a septic person that was honorable, so take their word as a grain of salt.Heck, I pee almost that much a week%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

Advice needed for building a computer?

Okay so I have just decided to make a computer for gaming (sort of a split-second decision), I don't want anything high end, but enough to satisfy but recreational gaming needs (if that makes sense O.o) anyway it has been a long time since i actually built one and I am really outdated with everything lol.


I did go shopping online at shopping square where they seem to have really good deals and a awesome postage discount, but I'm not sure if this shop is to be trusted...


Anyway I chose what i wanted and I like the price, but I think it is a little low?


Here is a list of what i have chosen:





Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3 Motherboard





KINGSTON KVR800D2N5K2/4G 4GB KIT 800MHz(PC2-6400) DDR2





AMD 9950 PHENOM x4 AM2+ 2.66GHZ QUAD CORE CPU


I'm not so sure about this processor, I read somewhere that anything below 3.1GHZ bottlenecks the HD4850 graphics card.





Samsung 500GB SATA II 16mb Cache HDD





SONY AD7200SGB INTERNAL 20X DVD BURNER SATA BLACK OEM





Hightech ATI HD4850 IceQ4 1GB 256-bit GDDR3





ASUS VW198T 19 inch HD 1050 LCD Monitor High Definition





XION ONYX 301 GAMING MEDI TOWER CASE NO PSU (I chose this one because it looks awesome =D)





That will cost me $1,252.55. Which I think is great.





Okay now or questions.


1)Is this site trustworthy?


2)Is everything compatible?


3)Is anything going to be Bottlenecked?


4)What power supply do I need?


I really have no clue about what power supply i need.


5)Is this a good computer or am I just going to spend money on junk?





Okay I think that is about it, any advice/comments and answers before I make a decision would be much appreciated





(I posted this in the wrong section before.)Advice needed for building a computer?
As far as power supply, I would say 600-650 watts should get you by just fine. I would also second Newegg.com, as of right now they also have deals on graphics cards. Second I would recommend going with a 32mb cache HD, a lil more CASH never hurt anyone (sorry for the play on words hehehe) Also look into the 4830 graphics card for casual gaming, if you dont want bragging rights (you know the ones...I got 400FPS on the new crysis game) a 4830 should suffice and save you more cash. Also check out the new AM3 boards, which support DDR3. and the new tripple core processors pack quite a punch and will also save you a bit of cash. Just built my new computer for $520 (minus case, and monitor) cuz I reused old ones

Dont build ur own, it sucks cuz youre basically building a pc. all pcs are known to be low quality even if u build it. Who the hell builds there own computer? No don't do that. That would take too long, you'd have to be einstien to put it together and it'll break when you finally finish. Buying a new mac will giv u the best and top-of-the-notch stuff and you also get osx, which is the greatist hing in the world!





leave building PCs and PC users to the dumb geeks, and be a smart person- buy a mac.





PC sucks!!! Apple innovates, microsoft imitates.
I'd recommend you buy your things off Newegg, where prices are cheap, and it has an awesome reputation.


http://www.newegg.com





1. What's the site.





2. The processor is incompatible with the motherboard. The motherboard is AM3, but your processor is AM2+. AM2/AM2+ processors will not fit in an AM3 socket, though an AM3 processor will work in an AM2 board.





Change your motherboard for this:


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as鈥?/a>





3. So far no, though it depends on the game you're playing.





4. A good 650W will do. I would recommend this one, which is from a reputable manufacturer.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as鈥?/a>





5. It's overpriced. The computer should cost $900 at the most.





My advice would be to get a better processor. A Phenom 920 is significantly faster than a 9950 and uses less power.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as鈥?/a>
go with newegg.com there prices are better and they have the best customer service they might even be cheaper they give discounts I built a whole pc for $800 so you could probably build your quad for a $1000.00
hes right get a mac. dont build ur own, its too confusing and most people screw up! leave this job to the geeks and buy yourself a nice mac. vista sucks anyways its full of viruses and BUGS





You need a real computer like an mac mini (if your poor), iMac, and the top of the line Mac Pro that owns all PCs with its mighty 32GB RAM and native 8 core processors. Theres no other PC can beat a mac pro in gaming, rendering, or demanding stuff. im not a gamer, even i know tis. all the new macs have nvidia 9000 series whcih are supposed to be 5x faster than the old ones

Deck Building Experts,,, Need Your Advice!!?

I'm building a small deck around my above ground pool. Question is this,,, when securing the beams to the posts, what is best, should I be making an ';L'; notch on either side of the post so the 2x10 beams fit on the post and level with the top of the post or should I just be bolting them to the sides of the posts so they are level with the top. Does that make sense the way I'm wording it? Please help me with this question. I'm sure if you are an experienced deck builder this question will make sense. Thanks for your helpDeck Building Experts,,, Need Your Advice!!?
Christopher,





I'd notch them for at least two reasons...when working by myself, notching the posts will enable me to do it by myself, secondly, it adds additional strength to the overall integrity of the structure. I would only make the notch about 1/2 inch deep, and then use bolts.
