i might major in nutrition and minor in athletic training. my friend told me med schools prefer specific majors over broad majors. are those two majors acceptable and a good choice?

Med schools ask for ANY major and that’s what they prefer. If you like your major studies, then keep going. Your passion for your area of study is what any professional school will appreciate and will help you to get ahead. Stop listening to everybody with an opinion. Just keep studying and you’ll do well.Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!

Obviously abusing any drug will cause medical problems and perhaps death, but is creating safer steriods the next level of sports nutrition. It apparently works. (i.e. Ben Johnson’s performance; Barry Bonds performance)

I do not understand why people call it cheating. It is called gaining an edge. People say that everyone should be on the same playing field as far as not taking any supplements. With the money that is involved these days and the level of competition and not to mention the pressure and scrutiny these athletes are under to preform, it’s no wonder these guys try to give themselves an edge. If there was no competition between players and other athletes, then why do some spend time in the weight room? Why do they stay after to take ground balls? Why do they stay late to hit batting practice? The answer is to be better than the other person. It is the same thing as using a supplement. I do like the concept of steriods being controlled by officials or governement and can make it a safer substance, but who is to say when that is going to be.

I want to start running. I need to build endurance to be able to propel myself while running. I just joined a cross country team at school, and i want to be conditioned do i’m ready when the season starts. Does anyone have any tips on nutrition, or exercises that might help me getting ready? any weight loss techniques? thank you.

keep on jogging starting at 4 laps each laps must be 1.3 km or more .everyday , u add 1 . remember , u must finish 4 laps minimum everyday at least .. when u reach 10 laps , u start sprinting at least 3 laps minimum everyday , each day increasing 1 lap by 1 lap … this would help … you could run longer distance now without being tired

I’m talking about creatine, weight gainer etc. Why the age limit? All supplements say for age 16 and over. And what is the best supplement for getting big muscles fast?
And how fast will they work and how much bigger should they get? Interesting one this is!

There are lots of reasons
1. you are still growing
2. everything you put through your body get filtered through your kidneys and liver, creatine can be very dangerous to your body if you don’t properly hydrate yourself and I think these side effects can be magnified if you drink alcohol while on creatine as well
3. weight gainiers are waste of money in my opinion, I am 6′5 and when I was in high school I weighted only 150 pounds, I lifted, ate 4 or 5 meals a day and took all of the weightgainers I could, you body can only process so much protien and most of it just ends of coming right on out of you
4. odds are you won’t be able to legally and truly bulk up very fast if you are still 16
5. I now take muscle milk, it is NOT a weight gainer it is a supplement that is to help you gain lean muscle but I find it is the most effective supplement I have taken and really helps with recovery after workouts
6. Now that I am 30 and weight a solid 225 it just takes time for your body to stop growing and get the chance to put weight on ( I really didn’t put on the muscle or the weight I wanted until I was 23)
Best of luck but be careful what you are spending your money on and if you are going to take creatine be very careful to hydrate and follow all directions, and in my opinion skip the heavy calorie weight gainers you will literally be flushing your money down the toilet

Well im 19 years old male. I been working out for the last 3 years, but i really got into bodybuilding it in the past last year. Im 5ft 11in tall at 235lbs. Any tips for my body type. Im not all muscle. i still have a little of fat i want to burn off. My max bench press is 315, Squats 370. Incline press 245. What shouldn’t i eat or what should i eat? Im still new to this.

You’ll definately want to try out carb-cycling and High Intensity Interval Training. I think you should probably google those as I wouldn’t be able to explain them very well. As well as this you should keep training with weights so that you lose minimal muscle mass (but try not to overtrain yourself).

Nutritionwise, you need to consume less calories than you burn – I’m not sure what that is for you but it’s worth finding out. As I said before, carb-cycling is a very good idea and that means that most of the time you’ll be consuming very few carbs. Also, try to cut back on the fats towards the last few weeks of cutting.

And lastly, kudos to you for gaining so much at such a young age. 235lbs at your height and age is really impressive!

am a 16 year old female weighing in at 124-130. I am 5′ 3"- 5′4", and I participate in both figure skating and soccer. I normally should and try to skate at least 10 hours a week. I will start playing soccer 4 days a week again in March too. I am always very low in physical energy and I get joint and muscle pain. I have seen doctors, gotten blood tests and other exams but nothing is "wrong" with me, as of now at least. Fibromylgia has been a possibility, and i always hear someone mention depression, but currently I am sure it is not that. I have had 3 recent recommendations to change my diet. I am a picky eater who is normally to tired to focus on what I should eat instead of what I want so I am in a viscous circle.

My typical diet is:
Breakfast- Cereal (such as Multi-grain cheerios,) with fruit (strawberries, blue berries, bananas,) and sometimes caffeinated hot chocolate in attempt to wake myself up. Sometimes I have a muffin with a piece of fruit instead.
(continued)
Lunch- Grilled cheese if I am home. Light yogurt, flavored water, fruit, crackers, and snacks.

Snack- Fruit, chips, crackers, or cookies.

Dinner- Pasta, a little salad, bread, and milk–or– Pizza
(with veggies sometimes) with milk–or–Tacos w/ cheese, and tomatoes–or–a little chicken or steak with a vegetable (when I say little, I mean little)–or– on occasion I have an omelette.

I have also been contemplating whether or not to drink Ensure High Protein. I enjoy them and I feel like I need the protein but my friends tell me they make you fat and my chiropractor told me they have tons of sugar. (Should I really care?)

My # 1 priority is energy and performance in school and sports.

#2 is I would like to loose weight if possible. Drop down to at least 120, min. 115.

Any suggestions on what I should eat? Or how I could find out?

I know the following already:

- I need about 45g of protein everyday.
-Some days I need up to 3,200 calories (I have used all sorts of calcu
lators.) Normally, I need 2,000-2,500.

P.S. I take gummy bear vitamins alternated with chew able adult centrum.

Well,female athletes especially are prone to iron deficiency,so your going to have to keep some red meat in your diet. And not cut down on calories,just calories from fat.
You’ll need lots of lean meat,turkey,chicken,tuna,ext, green veggies like spinach,broccoli,asparagus,. Also plenty of citrus fruits,they help absorb iron,I would stay away from caffeine as much as possible,because that blocks absorption of iron,and you’ll be where you started if not worse.
Now try eating oatmeal,and cereals rich in wheat and vitamins,and adding fruit. Drink milk,water,and fruit and veggies juice,stay away from drinks high in sugar. Having a regulated sleeping pattern is important also. So your body is guaranteed to be able to recuperate those long hours of physical activity.
