I take it straight generally - though I'll cook with it here and there. I also apply it directly to my skin.

Frying up steaks, pork chops, eggs and baking my breads
When you eat it raw, there's a subtle coconut flavor, but not when used to cook

Cardio 30m on the eliptical
Do you cardio at all? Eat 500 less than maintenence with cardio and you'll be good to go. Probably losing water weight and a ton of muscle. People can eat that much in 1-2 meals.
lift
thats it fish and rice for dinner
4 reps of cross sit ups ups( 15 for each arm)
4 reps 15 pushups
4 reps 15 regular situps
bed
fish and rice dawg and lots of water

Who suggested that you only take in 1500 calories man? Serious question. We are trying to help.

I always do behind the neck pulldowns, as long as you don't go down past your ears, and as long as you keep your neck relatively straight you're fine. Those in addition to keeping the weight low enough to maintain proper form.

So as long as you use a limited range of motion and use very light weights it's fine?....... what's the point then?
It's not like those things makes the exercise effective.

No where did I say very light weight, I said light enough to do proper form. And when doing pulldowns, stopping around your ear (the bar being by your ear) isn't a limited range of motion, it's enough to stretch and contract your lats against the weight.

man, i feel a certain way about it too
but ive ALWAYS been told by physicians and other personal trainers that ANY exercise that involves moving weight behind your head is not safe, squats is a huge testament to that, hella spinal problems later down the line for damn near everyone who decides to go heavy
but bro, i gotta side with you, behind the head lat pulldowns provides a nice angle and makes my shoulders more sexy
but do whatever the **** you wanna dooooo

I saw two people today on separate occasions doing the behind the neck pull down while sitting backwards, which I found odd since I never seen it before but thought nothing of it. Now I see the last few pages on this and it must be a new fad.

Not just in this situation, but we have to stop using the, "I have been doing ____ for a long time and nothing has happened to me yet" card to justify that something is safe/efficient/right." I mean damn, what is it supposed to do, kill you upon first experience? Folks kill me with that whenever they use it in ANY situation.

I'm guilty of doing behind the head presses...
I know I should stop... It just feels so right

Apologies if this has been dealt with previously, but has anyone here taken ZMA? If so, what were your thoughts?

i used a bottle. it helped me sleep but i got some intense, vivid dreams on it. never felt like buying it again. it doesn't boost testosterone if you were thinking that.

I used to do behind the neck pulldowns. I have some friends, one of which competes and placed in his last comp do them as well. They said they dont do them often but once in a while they do for a change. Whenever ive done it, it has felt great honestly. Nice squeeze and I liked the range of motion. I just dont really do them anymore cause I just do regular pulldowns then close grip and thats sufficient for that machine.

ZMA is Zinc, magnesium & B6
Ive taken it before bed with melatonin, you'll be asleep in a half hour tops & its a deep sleep. Thats really the only thing ive noticed, although zinc does help boost natural testosterone levels & B6 is good for absorption. If your going to go the ZMA route, get a name brand quality like universal, optimum nutrition, NOW Foods etc...Not the crap from walmart or any grocery store.
I actually planned on getting ZMA last week with my dps order but forgot
