My phone to track my work out (Jefit Pro app), water bottle, and a towel for my brow.

While I like Country and Metal both, I save the Country for the ride home from the gym to change modes. While lifting it is things like: The Birthday Massacre, Pillar, Nightwish, Red, Delain, Fireflight, Within Temptation, Flyleaf, Black Label Society, P.O.D., Linkin Park, The Letter Black, and others.

Congratulations Mr. Brown on enjoying the payoff from your hard work. Keep riding that momentum forward to more victories.

When your abs are screaming at you the morning after Deadlift day, and you did no ab specific work.

Now that we are a few months later, the routine has changed a little bit and I am far more focused on form. Updated Power Cleans - final set 4 reps at 115lbs Incline Leg Press (deep with narrow stance) - final set 6 reps at 595lbs Dead Lifts - final set 4 reps at 275lbs (only set I use alternating grip, all the rest…

lww - 247 cww - 247 While the scale did not move this week, I saw a loss on the waist and chest and in increase in the shoulders. Go figure. Hope you all had a good week.

Working Out in this context can be either cardio training or resistance training. While you can lose weight just by modifying your diet, your body will shed muscle with the fat to accommodate the caloric deficit thus lowering your resting metabolism, thus increasing the likelihood of regaining the weight as more fat. The…

I updated my lifting blog for those interested. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/trelm249/view/lifting-phase-ii-221461

Been a Saints fan since Archie was quarterback and the dome was under construction.

Heavy on All - Squats, Dead Lifts, Stiff leg dead lifts, Bench Press, Military Press, Bent Over Rows Moderate Caloric Deficit Cardio on non-lift days

As far as physical qualities go, my preference is some one who takes care of herself. Good hygiene and being healthy is attractive. Character and personality are a much better reflection on the quality of a lady than height, hair color, or bone structure.

LWW - 247lbs. CWW - 247 lbs. No change on the scale for me this week.

protein is naturally more thermogenic than carbs or fat, particularly whey protein. This promotes fat burning. Protein is a basic building block of muscle recovery following exercise. That would be any exercise. The USDA daily ratios is what MFP defaults to on the macro nutrient proportions. These are woefully out of date…

For me, breathing during exercise is all about rhythm. For lifting, in while I load. Out while I explode. For cardio, long and deep slow breaths.

Morning Gentlemen. I trust this has been a good week for you. LWW - 248 lbs CWW - 247 lbs Turned out to be a good quality week. See family was great and the fitness was not overly impacted too much. Stick with it guys. Perseverance and Patience get you there.

Checking In LWW - 249 CWW - 248 Dropping off line for a few days while I go see family. Way to stick with it guys.

Tool - 46 and 2

90 seconds for lifts like dead lifts, leg presses, and power cleans. 60 seconds for other lifts. Jefit is great.

There is a large community of women lifters on the board. Some are fans of the book/program "The New Rules of Lifting for Women". Others like Stronglifts 5x5. Hard to go wrong with either. Find the Bodybuilding and/or the Strength Training groups.

Squats and overhead presses aren't good lifts for me personally because of a pinched nerve in my upper back toward my neck. The deadlifts hit the same muscles as a squat and then some more. As for anterior deltoids, the flat bench work and deads hit them pretty well. I agree that squats and overhead press are great lifts.…

@nutbutter Overhead presses could be added. You are right. The anterior delts get hit pretty good with the deads and flat bench work. I absolutely agree with the compound moves. As for squats. The deads hit the same muscles primarily and then some more. The squats would certainly come in later after a basic lifting…

A Basic Routine for Beginners that can be done 3 days a week on non-serious cardio days (focus on form and stick with it for 12 weeks) Dead lift with overhand grip (3 sets) light for 8 reps, moderate for 8 reps, heavy for 6 reps Flat bench dumbbell press (3 sets) Lat Pull Down (2 sets) Bent Over Barbell Rows (2 sets)…

Thought I would share a link to my recent blog on exercise to those interested. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/trelm249/view/about-that-exercise-plan-210416

@Aug Wow! That sucks that you needed the surgery. Glad you are doing well enough to post and let us know. You and yours are in my thoughts brother.

LWW - 250 CWW - 249 A focused week. I feel better about than what the scale reflects. I just have to accept that the scale will be slower reflecting progress than 80 pounds ago. Still, onward and upward. I am happy with the changes in the mirror and clothes. I am feeling better.

^this Also lay on your stomach and lift your legs. Do these on the floor, not your bed.

I have an omelet (2 egg white + 1 egg, 2 oz. turkey ham, bell pepper) every morning with a bowl of oatmeal (!/2 tbsp of cinnamon and 1/4 cup almond milk). Good stuff with protein.

I started at 336 Aug of 2010 and today I am at 250. I still have at least 50 lbs to go. No drugs, surgeries, trainers, or nutritionists. Just consistent exercise, cleaner eating, reading, learning, trial and error, and perseverance. There were hiccups and stalls as life interfered and I got distracted for about a 4 month…

You will get many mixed answers on this. I can't really do both seriously in the same workout. I do about 10 minutes of cardio for a warm up prior to a lifting session. After a good lifting session, I count it a victory to walk to the car. After a good cardio session, I don't have it in me to do any serious lifting. Find…

A whey shake is my primary post workout snack. I notice a difference in the post workout hunger and recovery.
