Really, I am not qualified to be on this board, after all it IS EMTlife not FUTURE-EMTlife. :P I wasn't trying to aim for any post, just trying to get in on the conversation. :)

Wow. Until you brought it up, I hadn't realized that there were almost 10,000 posts in this thread.
 
This is the thread that never ends. It keeps going on and on my friend. Some people / started posting in it not very long ago / and now they continue posting...

because this is the thread that never ends...
 
My workouts have gotten frustrating. I'm not gaining any strength or endurance, even though I'm trying to mix it up. Starting to think there's something wrong with my diet, but not looking forward to the changes I'll probably have to make.

So, I made some chocolate covered strawberries earlier. I had some leftover chocolate (as I had melted down dark chocolate bars and added a little soy milk) in a bowl, and after pulling it out of the fridge I had noticed it solidified.

Sooooo...

I made some more chocolate (I have a lot of dark chocolate bars in the fridge), and decided to cover a bunch of strawberries with it. They're sitting in the fridge, and I'm ever so tempted to see how this concoction turns out. :D

Earlier this week, I made myself chocolate strawberries for breakfast using some of that chocolate sauce that hardens when you freeze it. So good...
 
Not too far from being the first 1000 page thread I have seen on this forum!

Could this possibly have something to do with it?

;-)
 
@Seaglass. How long have your workouts been going in? After a month or two the body just needs some rest to really recover. Also, with your diet is there enough protein? To gain you need a lot more calories than just to maintain.
 
Lights, he needs sugar and fat in the diet to help facilitate the muscle growth. Lots of proteins, and at a certain point, one that most will never come close to hitting, there's just no more that can be done by normal means.

I've been serious about it for nearly a year, with a couple derailments from injuries. For what it's worth, I've improved a lot within that time without much changing my diet.

I'm starting to keep a diary and do the math, and it's looking like the main issue might be that I'm very seriously not eating nearly enough. (PM me if y'all feel like continuing that thread of conversation; I don't like going into health details publicly.)

I'm now switching to working out every other day (from two on, one off), and we'll see if that helps, too.
 
Understandable not wanting to get into details. There's so many different ways to go at something anyway, it's mostly finding what works well for someone.

Yeah, and what works well for me is definitely going to be unusual. Argh.
