If only I didn't have some sort of illness with regards to milk :/ .... I thought I was lactose intolerant due to my symptoms of drinking milk (diarrhea, bloating, etc) , but lactose free milk gave me the same symptoms. That greek yogurt sems like an amazing source of protein.
srs? How much are you using? I've tried it and thought it was basically diet sprite in a little spray bottle lol.
my diet is pretty good right now, which always helps... gym 2-3 times a week. and i do the spray 3 times a day - couple sprays each time. i've been doing it for 3 months and i like it. i'm turning 35 this year and it's helped my energy levels.
Are you sure the increase in energy and getting leaner isn't a result of your improved diet and going to the gym? The main reason I tried it was for recovery/healing minor gym injuries (since Ray Lewis used it to come back from his torn triceps so fast lol), but I'm not even sure if it helped in that area. Definitely no noticeable increase in strength/muscle/energy/fat loss. I was doing 5 sprays 3x a day. That's awesome if it works for you, but I probably won't be trying it again. For me, no. It was super cheap on groupon... something like 3 bottles for 20 bucks, so I figured it would be worth it if I could even catch a placebo effect. Used 1 bottle and gave away the other 2 to some kids at the gym who swear by it.

I just bought a pull up bar and forgot how difficult this was. Any tips to increase pull ups/chin ups?

Look up "negative pull-up" on YouTube. Build strenth with those until you can do a set of 3 pull-ups. The cool thing about body weight exercises is that each one can be varied by increasing or decreasing leverage (when weight lifters would add weights). So you can start with easier variations and work all the way to crazy gymnastic like exercises (if you're so inclined, I keep my goals pretty modest). There is actually a lot of good info on the body weight exercise subredditt.
I don't do the coffee, but I have been enjoying his podcasts. Asprey is a good interviewer and he gets some really interesting guests.
I couldn't do a single pull up at all a few months ago. So what I did was, about 4 times a week, I would attempt to do a single pull up. As I said, I couldn't do one, but I just went up as high as I could, and as time went on, it got easier and easier. Now I can do 5 reps / 3 sets. Still working on getting that higher though.

It depends on what you have eaten. I've heard nutritionists say to not eat anything that requires your body to work to digest it. That includes lean proteins. I forgot what is on the okay list. I'm assuming fruits/veggies/oats.
I have a question for some of you. There is this set workout schedule people usually have, one day this another day that or full body three days a week. Has anyone ever tried just going full out in a workout and then resting until you're not sore again, however many days that might be, and then going all out in your next workout? So maybe you only end up working out two days a week but they're full bore type workouts that leave you sore the next day.
Eventually you will adjust so that you aren't completely sore for days. I don't like having a set day each week for a certain thing. I do various workouts but never really the same thing each week except running. That said, I've had some days where I worked out my legs so hard I could barely walk right and didn't want to do anything for a few days. Full body workouts are a lot of fun but don't really make you as sore as if you are working out just one muscle group really hard.
First, they had P90X 1 hour workouts. Then, they had P90X3 30 minute workouts. Now, introducing P90X.5 5 minute workouts. That's right...get ripped in just 5 minutes a day! (P90X Karate Chop! KAPAYA!). As a free bonus, we'll include "5 Second Abs". Sorry...carry on. I just started working out again. I know there are two free P90X 1 hour workouts on Xbox One for Kinect..."Arms and Shoulders" and "Plyometrics". I tried the first one just to check out the format...which was pretty appealing as it measures your progress via Kinect. But, I'm not in good enough shape for either one. I'm just starting up with some Bowflex workouts again to get off my duff.
That doesn't seem efficient as I'm imaging you will have to spend more than 1 hour in the gym (including warm up, stretching, cooldown). I suppose an alternate would be to do combo muscle exercises (i.e. bench press, dead lift, barbell squat) that way you're working multiple groups of muscles. This might allow you to reduce the amount of days you have to hit the gym each week. My schedule is: Monday - Biceps & Back Tuesday - Cardio Wednesday - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps Thursday - Cardio Friday - Legs, (maybe abs/core) All of my workouts are under an hour. If I miss one during the week, I can just take care of it during the weekend. To each his own for sure as we all have different lifestyles and schedules.
