Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you create this site, when there are a lot of other good sites out there, such as "myfitnesspal.com"?

First of all, by profession I am an IT manager and I design web applications in my free time. The first version of this site, was created to run on my local web server and I used it for quite some time offline, and I created it just for fun.
In time, I kept adding features that I felt are needed in my daily fitness life. When my friends asked me what I used to track my calories, I told them I have my own app. They manifested interest to use it themselves, therefore I started a new improved version and uploaded it to the internet for them to use.

The video tutorials don't seem too professional. Is that your own voice?

The tutorials are not meant to be professional grade. I haven't even used a video editor. They are raw output from my screencast software. smiley

I only created them to help my friends get started. Yes, that is my voice.

What workout program do you follow?

Normally I do the Beyond Bigger, Leaner, Stronger, but when I'm cutting for fat loss, I follow the (less taxing) Bigger, Leaner, Stronger

What is the proper warm-up routine you recommend when training a muscle group?

I always recommend following Mike Matthew's advice on warm-up routine. Here it is:

 First Warm-Up Set

12 reps with 50% of your working set weight

Rest 60 seconds

Second Warm-Up Set

10 reps with 50% of your working set weight

Rest 60 seconds

Third Warm-Up Set

4 reps with 70% of your working set weight

Rest 60 seconds

I used to have a 4th set with 1 rep at 90% working set weight, but I came to realize is not really needed. At this point, after the 3rd set, the body is ready to handle heavy loads.

Will this website always be free, or you'll start charging for it?

At this time, I do not intend to charge anything.
In the future I might introduce some premium features at a small cost, but the basic functionality will always be free.
