Patch 4.3.2 on public test realms now
Jan 3rd 2012 7:07PM (WoW)Player blasts free from overweight gamer stereotype

Dec 1st 2011 3:30PM (WoW)focus on your overall body composition rather than earth's gravitational pull on your body's mass (weight)... buy some cheap body fat calipers and measure yourself to find out where you are
15% body fat is a healthy % that all males can shoot for. you could go lower down to 12% where, statistically, you should be able to see abdominal definition in a relaxed state with normal lighting conditions (i.e.: not a myspace angle/lighting)
if you are already in the 12-15% bf range (legitimately 12-15% that is, use some calipers for real, or even better if you have access to be hydrostatic weighed) you could attempt to get to 8-11.9% bf, but single% bf is very difficult for most. also, put on dat dere muscle mass! everyone can benefit from more muscle mass; bigger faster stronger.

Dec 1st 2011 2:34PM (WoW)video games are one of the better things you can do while training/dieting/etc... as long as you don't deter from your diet and still get your exercise/gym time in.
90% of getting your body to where you want it to be is done OUTSIDE of the gym; it's all about how well/correct you eat and sleep/rest.
spending 4-5 hours in the gym then going out and doing some cardio-esque hobby/activity will overtrain your muscles and burn you out quick, I.E.: january gym new-years-resolutionists.
all you really need is 45-60min in the gym, work out intense, bust your ass, then do a good 15 min of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) after the gym. beyond that you will see the most results from being consistent with your diet, disciplined in your training/gym time, and disciplined in a regular sleeping pattern of >=8hours.
Pain of regret or the pain of discipline, you decide.

Dec 1st 2011 2:23PM (WoW)i am glad to see that he corrected the mistake of starving himself at 1000cal/day... that is unhealthy and you'll lose a ton of muscle mass.
speaking of muscle mass; anyone who is trying to lose weight, 'bulking' (eating more than you burn) for a month or two, with the intent to gain muscle mass, (so just eat 500-1000cal more than you burn/day) right before you 'cut' (eating at a deficit) will help increase your metabolism. think of it as increasing your engine from a 250cc to a 1000cc... you'll require more gas(calories) and thus your base metabolic rate will increase.
also, i wouldn't cut weight at more than a 1500cal/day deficit or you will end up with a lot of left over skin. the best scenario to lose a lot of weight (100+ pounds) would be to cut ~30lbs over the period of 2 months, then stop try to 'clean bulk' (bulk eating very clean) for a month or so to try to gain some more muscle mass (2-5 pounds) and strength. after that quick 1 month bulk repeat your cutting phase for another 2 months to try to lose another ~30lbs.
TLDR:
you want to try to gain some muscle mass too, it will be easy for most of you as you will see "noob gains" extremely quick

Breakfast Topic: What's your most anticipated patch 4.3 feature?
Nov 29th 2011 9:21AM (WoW)real talk^
reminds me of these stupid miller light commercials "dude thats the 2nd unmanly thing you've done today"
who the hell cares? a man's personal taste/opinions are his own, not yours, and not a single fuxx was given if you disagree. the third "unmanly thing" he guy does in that commercial is caring what his boyfriends think.
girly men these days...

Oct 25th 2011 11:50AM (WoW)i would love to see either an entire expansion (akin to Norse in Wrath), or even just a few zones, based on Greek and (or) Roman mythology.
