Weights Bad??

Fatal1ty2k5

I recommend 1200 calories maximum and lots of elliptical and zumba. There's also some pink weights that you can use but you should probably get a video at home and use that with the pink weights.

You'll get really tone. Lots of reps.

HAR HAR HAR... Be a jerk much?

OP: Umm... You didn't gain weight in one day. Lifting weights will cause some water retention in your muscles as they repair themselves post-workout. A small weight gain the few days after you lift is normal. Keep lifting! As long as your eating is on track and you're not following a bulking diet, you'll lose weight. Add in cardio as well, and it should help you lose the weight faster. I'm losing weight, too, and I lift 2-3 times a week with a trainer and I do cardio almost every day. You won't be sorry you lifted weights, trust me.

Only women should lift weights... us guys need to stick to cardio and zumba!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

debussyschild

All wrong...you need to stick to 5 lb. weights and 100 reps!!

I know this is a joke, but as a woman who lifts her *kitten* off on the regular, I take issue with it. :mad:

This is what women who lift heavy REALLY look like...

Ignore the sarcasm. It's most likely all water, because you can't gain 5 pounds from lifting weights just like that.

Cause you're giving one. A big one. In public.

I am a heterosexual female who still drooled a little at this.

I would probably stop exercising. A friend of mine told me that if you start getting abs they will go away if you wait a week. Also, if you are getting too bulky all over she suggested that eating less helps.

If my local gym was like this I would be down there for hours getting "tips" on how to bench press.

Just need to find a way to disguise myself as a towel!

So I lifted weights yesterday and today I was 5 lbs. up. I am trying to lose weight not gain it........Maybe weight training just isn't for me. Should I go back to just doing cardio? I gave it a shot but it doesn't seem to be working out.

were they barbie weights, or donut weigths?
Personally I like the 12 oz weights that come in gold or the 6 oz weights that come in red . . . I find that when I'm doing oz weights instead of pound weights I definitely see an overall increase in overall bodyweight the next few days.

What about Tae-Bo?

This is amazing information!!! I'm so glad it's all compiled together! :laugh:

It'll be gone in no time if you drink these shakes, and only these shakes, for every single meal. PM me for the link, it'll only cost you $4,567.82 a month. Oh, and don't forget to check your pee, that's where all the fat comes out.

AlsDonkBoxSquat

Please stop with these senseless posts. There is a bunch that pop up every day and people that don't know it's a joke get misinformed.

Wait . . . you're doing it wrong. first you have to smile, then you're allowed to laugh . . . doing it the other way just looks weird.

No, that's usually just for the women.

_Wits_

You need Pilates, Yoga, and Zumba. Stick with weights that come in pastel colors as anything else will lead to turning into the Incredible Hulk within a week's time. In fact you should be careful how you step when you're wearing a backpack because you don't want to do anything resembling a weighted lunge or your thighs will burst through your shorts.

I disagree. This is not what a woman really looks like that lifts heavy. Find ONE woman on MFP who lifts heavy and gets her hair and make up professionally done before going to the gym! LOL

Also - dont drink water, it'll bond with your fat cells and make your extra weight stay longer.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I would suggest that if you gained 5 pounds over night there is another issue. When a person is trying to lose weight, they need to do light weight with a lot of reps to tone the muscles, not get themselves ready to power lift in the Olympics.

LOL I was going to say--This is NOT what I look like when I lift. I must be doing something wrong.
