I do not like doing push push or pull pull workouts on the same day. My preference is to do push pull for the workout. For instance I do chest and biceps and back and triceps the next day. This way the triceps are not so overworked they impact the chest workout. Same with doing biceps with back. Mon: chest, biceps Tue:…

Thank you! The kids loved them :) Fairly straight forward if you have previously made cheesecakes. I use a butter scoop to create the cheesecake balls, roll them in the graham crackers and then pipe in the raspberry sauce :) Make the Graham Cracker Crust Bake NY Cheesecake Make Raspberry sauce After the cheesecake has…

I used to jump rope a lot and doing it for 30 minutes is difficult. Doing it for 60 minutes would be extremely difficult. My old routine would sometimes last 25-35 minutes and that was interval based and taking 60 second breaks.

Hi everyone! This thread is awesome! I'm 46 and just a little over halfway in my journey to reach a goal weight of 150 lbs. I started at 220+ lbs and currently weigh 183 lbs. Recently checked my BMI and it has dropped from 31 to 28 so really happy about that :) I strength train 4 days a week and hike/jog/sprint on the…

Congrats!

Was told today, "You are like the incredible shrinking man" :) Checked my BMI and it has dropped from 31 to 28. Need to drop another 24 lbs to have a normal BMI rating. Need to lose another 33 lbs to reach my goal weight so still have a long ways to go.

Fat bombs?! NY Cheesecake balls filled with Raspberry sauce :)

Never heard of golfers elbow but good to know. I play golf and do not have pain when swinging. The pain is on the outside and hurts pulling upwards. Upright rows, lateral raises and picking up weights to put on the bar. What is ART? Sleeves? Never heard of voodoo flossing and will check it out. Appreciate the tips :)

I make my own. Take a 200mg caffeine pill. Mix 10 oz water with 1 tsp l-glutamine, 5g creatine and a little bit of gatorade powder.

Put on a brand new pair of jeans that were purchased 6 or 7 years ago. They still had the price tag and waist inseam sticker. I originally did not not try them on until I got home and was disappointed they did not fit. However I liked them enough to wait for the day they would. Today they are a little loose and need to…

Do you vary your pace? Incline? Maybe add some 30-60 second all out sprints for variety? FWIW I do the majority of my cardio outside of the gym because the treadmill can be so boring.

I have a standing desk at work and rarely sit down. Assuming the link you posted is legit, I burn an extra 1840 cals per week :)

Lifting with tennis elbow is a pain. Pulling upwards or lateral motion can be painful and limits how much weight I can use. Wearing a tennis elbow strap does not seem to help. Any tips?

Is there a general chat thread to discuss workouts? Not specifically for questions but just to discuss the workouts?
-
Is a big back for you meaning wide? Or thick? Lat pulls downs, rows, and bent over side lat pulls will give a wide back without doing pull ups. If you want a thick back then add bent over rows and dead lifts. As for pull ups, you should still do them even if they are assisted. Eventually your back will be strong enough you…

I have no idea what I just made but it turned out really good :) Tomatoe sauce Half Avocado 2 strips of bacon 2 eggs Topped with mozzarella cheese

You are new to lifting so your main goals should gaining strength, eating right and getting enough rest. If you do those 3 things well you will gain strength and size. In addition you will have a much better understanding how your body reponds.

GVT has proven you can get stronger with lighter weight. IMO it is silly to think there is only 1 way to get stronger.

Grilled avocados filled with fresh pico de gallo, topped with bacon and cotjia cheese :)

What type of workout are you doing? High voulme with less weight? Low reps and more weight?

No idea what Zumba is but I do not like classes for myself. I hit the weights and do the vast majority of my cardio outside of the gym.

Ice double espresso. Nothing added :)
