My fav. is heavy weight trainning....to me there is no better feeling!

What are the goals you have set for stregth trainning? Are you wanting to do body part specific trainning or a total body workout a couple times a week. I can help you come up with some ideas if I knew what you were looking for.

It depends on how much protien you are wanting to consumer per day. For example, I lift 5 days a wek so I take 3 shakes throughout the day along with the protien I eat. One right after a workout, one around 11 am and one bout 30 mins before bed. i would say to mix with water as mixing with milk is extra calories, but the…

It very well could work. It's all about how your body responds to the change. There is no way that me or anyone else can can tell you how your body will respond to different trainning methods. To me, that seems to be a lot of yo-yoing in weight. Your plan requires you to gain 10, lose 10, gain 10, lose 10. If you really…

As a answer to your other question. It is not possible to effectively lose body fat and make big gains in muscle at the same time. The rule in body building is you can only do one at a time. I find that it works better for me to go on cycles. I will take a month where I scale back cardio and go big on weights, then take a…

I can only tell you what worked for me. and I don't reccomend a heavy weight program until you are close to the weight you want to be at. My reason behind that is that if you have a higher body fat percentage and you won't be able to see the muscle as much. If you are where you want to be weight wise then I say go for a…

Thats was when I was at my heaviest. I was about 255- 260 there. I kind of swing between 188- 192 now depending on how my diet is for a day or two. I look completly different from those pics. I haven't put any new pics up in almost two years.

Way to pick up the rebound......I forgot that part!!!

I highly suggest doing some form of weight/ resistance trainning. If you do some research there sis tons of proof out there saying that weight trainnging actually causes a metabolic reaction for up to 3 to 4 hours after you finsish. where as with cardio, once you stop, the burn stops. You need both forms of excerise.

That's what this place is all about....

that gets back to how the skin looks. If it is kind of sagging already its going to be more difficult, not impossible. But if it just looks fatty then they should shape up fine. My chest was pretty bad man boobs and after about 8 mos of working out they are starting to really firm up and getting definition. your best…

one piece of advice about chest workouts though, don't do them any more frequently than you do any other part of the body. It make your body shape look out of proportion if you work chest 3 to 4 times a week and do everything else only once or twice. It will actually make your chest look bigger and that's not your goal.

I was kind of in the same boat as you are. I still have a small amount of fat left in my chest that I can't seem to get rid of, but it does go away, just takes time. A lot of it is going to have to do with how your skin elasticity is too. If you are working out you will eventually build the chest back up but with muscle…

there are already a bunch of good suggestions so I'm gonna take a different route......Don't compare your self to others in weight loss, only compare against yourself!

These days are going to come. Everyone that makes a serious commitment to living a healthy lifestyle is going to be faced with the same feelings. You just have to push through and tell yourself that your will to be better is stronger than the desire to have a few snacks!!

The general guideline that is suggested if you plan to do cardio and intense weight trainning in the same day is at least 45 mins rest after cardio before you lift. Now, with that being said, unless you have lots of free time that is very difficult to do. with jobs, kids, and other responsibilities I know that I don't have…

I think its good to incorporate some heavy weights in your workout. The one thing I don't agree with is where you said that you weren't going to worry about curls because they weren't important to overall strength ( I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember exactly how it was worded), they are not only important but…

Well my competition at work is not over yet...Thank goodness! I went to the beach about two weeks ago and gained about 5 lbs down there. I have lost about 3 of them since I have been back, but still not down to where I started at! The contest ends at the end of june so i still have one more month! The wife is doing…

Well I think I'm at a place where I can FINALLY start contributing again! I apologize for the two months with no contact, but we finally got moved in the house and there has been so much stuff going on. Anyways....I'm gonna do my best to get back in it! It looks like we still have a decent core group of original members…

It feels like forever since I have been able to get back on her with all of you. We are one week from having the new house finished , you would think that in itself would be enough good news....but we also found out this week we are having a little girl! I'm pretty excited about it! I have my weigh in tomorrow at work.…

Well we had our weigh in here at work and I was down 3 lbs from last week! I was pretty excited because it offically put me over the 30lbs lost mark! I just thought I waould share my good thing for today. The bad thing, I am afraid that i am going to have to have our new puppy that we just got for christmas put to sleep…

Well good morning to all you gals.....I know I haven't been around like I normally do, but between the doctor visits, vet visits, building the new house, and have a preggo wife I've been kept pretty busy! No excuses, just trying to justify my absence!!! Last week I pretty much held where I was at. I did have a slight…

What is your degree in? Where are you doing an internship? I remember when I did an internship at a brokerage house right before I graduated I hated it....I'm just curious what kind of career you were working toward. I have pretty much decided that I am going

I didn't get to post yesterday, but I haven't lost any. I pretty much stayed the same. I have really noticed that in the past week i haven't been eating as clean as I was. I'm still not eating completely horrible, but no where near where I should be! The worst part is I haven't worked out since I was sick, which was right…

I just wanted to say hey to everyone.....

I had my weigh in today....down two lbs from last week! I was pretty excited about that! I am GOING to make myself start back working out next week, hopefully I can have a good weigh in next week. ***A small update*** I am 2 lbs away from having lost a total of 30 lbs, I am pumped!!

Hey Everyone......It's good to find ya'll again. I looked int he recent posts earlier today and couldn't find you. We have had FDIC auditors at our bank the past two weeks and work has been CRAZY! In the banking world their word is law so we have been trying to keep them happy! Anyway, the weight loss thing at work is…

Hey Gals....I'm still here! Work has been insane this week that's why I'm not posting near as much as before. I had my weigh in today and I only lost about 1.5 lbs. Which is still good considering I still haven'''t gotten back on track with my workout. Between the house building and packing in the afternoon for moving and…

I meant to mention this too....I had to go get a physical yesterday for some life insurance I'm getting. They weighed me in the middle of the day with all my clothes and shoes on and I was actually down about 2 lbs from where I digital scale says I am. I was glad to see it, but I'm still not going to count it because my…

I did Plyo X last night, It was the first time I had ever done one of the cardio workouts on P90X with a heart rate monitor. I also got me a good pair of cross trainers, which makes a world of difference. The other shoes I had would hurt my feet for two days after I worked out in them. I was just too cheap to go buy a new…
