I've been doing rows and bench press. I've also been doing the Leg Press, is that equivalent to the deadlift? Or should I do deadlift instead? I'll for sure begin incorporating squats too!

69 is good. Hahaha, great job!

Nice!

Bump! Still looking for an answer on my above post ^^^^

I have NROWLFW and I've nearly finished reading it now. I have access to my University's gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays because of the class I am taking, which my routine was designed for, and was designed by my professor. I am thinking I will add some of the NROWLFW moves to my routine so hopefully that will improve my…

I don't expect it to happen overnight, or even in 2-3 weeks. I'm just trying to get a gauge of what other people have experienced.

No, heavy is good. lift free weights, be awesome*. I just started lifting this week, and it is hard, but you push through the pain and even feeling the ache from pushing your muscles makes you feel amazing. I never want to stop now!!

Today, I had to make my HRM a tiny bit tighter. I went for a jog/run (rare for me) and pushed myself to burn 427 calories. I'm feeling strong and awesome from weight training!

I started off last week way behind, so I'm trying again Week 2 Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: 361 (106-Walking) (255-6 week 6 pack) Tues: 511 (Weight Training with 10 minute cardio warmup) Wed: 533 (106-Walking) (427-Jogging/Running) Total: 1405 Left to go: 2095

Wow! Great work, you look awesome!

I just started lifting this week, I'm starting with 2 times a week through my Universities gym class. This is my routine for the next 3-4 weeks then we'll switch it up. I lift chest, back and core on Tuesdays and then on Thursdays I do arms and legs. Warm up is 10 minutes of Cardio and stretch Chest Back and Core Barbell…

I have not experienced this at all, my mood and confidence has definitely improved. I agree with other people, check out your diet, are you eating enough? Eating enough carbs may be an issue. Eat whole grain breads, and brown rice.

I have 30% body fat I'm 5'4" and 142 lbs. Chest Back and Core Barbell Bench Press 3x10 = just the bar Seated Row 3x10 = not sure, there were two red weights on either side... Barbell Incline Press 3x10 = just the bar Lat. Pull Downs (wide grip) 3x10 = 50lbs Dumbbell Chest Flies 3x10 =10lbs Front & Lateral Raises 2x10 =…

That doesn't sound like an over estimate. Sometimes I burn 80 calories in 6-8 minutes. It really just depends on how hard you push yourself. As for after burn, I usually stop my HRM once my heart rate gets to 100. A GOOD HRM is hard to come by for only $40. I bought a Polar FT4 for about $70 and it's awesome and reliable (…

I'm majoring in Creative Writing and German. I'll have two bachelors degrees in December 2013!!

I just log it under cardio. I use my HRM and today I burned 511 calories with a 10 min. cardio warm up and 40 minutes of strength training. It burns a lot!

I think everyone should wear whatever they want, I wear cute outfits sometimes. I think the real issue is SLOPPY form. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I love bacon! I'm making that for breakfast this weekend, NUMMY!!

This might be harsh, but of course exercise is going to "hurt", if you keep trying it WON'T. Yeah dieting is "hard" but you're addicted, it's not going to be easy. Seriously people....

That is awesome!! I am 142 lbs with 30% BF and I want to get to 23-24% and was guessing I'd be around 129-132 lbs. This is really inspirational! Do you have any pics?

not working.....

I got myself a tattoo for my birthday and still need to get it finished. I plan on doing that before summer though, then I can show it off! Once I get to my goal body I'm going to get another tattoo, of which I have many ideas. I want to get a elephant henna design on my foot or something on my collarbone. I also am going…

Hahaha! True!!

It's my opinion, and I stated it bluntly. Have a problem, go to a different topic. Nowhere in MFP does it say I don't have the right to post my opinion. I'm not trying to bring people down, but honestly if you are orange or 30 shades tanner than your natural complexion, it's just not nice looking (IM....in case your gonna…

I have already started 6 week 6 pack, but it will be nice to have others doing it with me!

Thank you....makes it easy enough.

I'll probably just wait till I get home then, and make sure to have some chicken pre-cooked so I can definitely get enough protein, or have cottage cheese or greek yogurt available. What would be a fast acting simple carb?

I want my waist to be smaller and my tummy to be tighter. I can feel my strong abdominal muscles underneath, I just need to get this damned layer of fat off! Weight training starts Tuesday so maybe my wish will come true....with hard work and dedication at the gym!!
