Why are you excluding potatoes? What is your goal? (lose weight, build muscle, maintain weight) Do you truly know what your caloric maintenance is? I ask the third part because often times we sweat the small stuff (macro nutrients) way to early. Find out your caloric maintenance first. You can use a calculator to get an…

All you need is a caloric deficit. Try not to be discouraged. That deficit can come from food intake alone. Now you may only become a smaller version of who you are now. Which that may or may not look bad to you. Once you can start anaerobic exercises do so to improve the look of the weight loss.

Not all food is equal maybe. Calories are just calories. 300 calories of chicken and 300 calories of M&M's is still 300 calories. Nice try though.

A caloric surplus makes you bulk, not your training program.

I will give a nod and a smile as well. I don't like talking to much while in the gym. There are a few guys that I may exchange a few good mornings with. One of which is an older guy who I swear only comes to the gym to train his jawbone because it is the only thing moving while he is there.

Am I missing something here? In both of your pictures your look great. These might be from after the 100 pounds of weight loss. But, if you did it once, you sure as hell can do it again. You fell of the wagon, so what!? Get back on it and start working towards the body you want. You should continue to talk to someone about…

Splits are how you program your workout for the amount of days you workout. For example. I'm on a 4 days upper/lower split. I train Mon, Tue, Thur, and Fri. It looks like this. Hope this answers your question. Mon - Upper Strength Tue - Lower Strength Wed - Off or active rest Thur - Upper Hypertrophy Fri - Lower…

2 leg days a week. First one concentrate on strength. Squats 3x3-5, Deads 3x3-5, leg press 3x10-15, leg curl 3x6-10, standing calf raise 4x8-12 Second concentrate on hypertrophy. Front squats 3x6-12, lunges 3x8-12 (EA), Lying leg curl 3x8-12, leg extensions 3x8-12, seated calf raise 4x8-12. If you are cutting separate the…

^^^These. If you can't beat em. Join em.

I train early in the morning. I may do some HIIT cardio after work.

I'm more along these lines. I manage servers all day so I don't need brute strength for this job. I do like going really heavy for the feel.

I had to creep you profile pics since we block a lot of sites here are work and you links don't work. You look great. Keep up the good work.

After reading the first few post. I got out of this, women are different. Some like a compliment about an achievement. Some don't, even if its positive. Check.

Yes I would want my wife to tell me that I've gaining weight. Don't wait till i'm no longer attractive to you and leave me or not want to sleep with me. Tell me early on so it can be avoided. Now looking at it the other way around. My wife wouldn't care at all. But, I've dated women that no matter how the delivery was they…

Congrats on the 1 year. You look great. Keep at it.

HELL NO! Lol... I'm addicted so nothing compares to picking something heavy up and putting it back down.

My suggestion would be to cancel and join another gym.

I would also suggest whenever you can, join another gym. I gym with no squat rack at all is no gym. But, that's just me.

Go with the goblet squat, split squat, or bulgarian squat as some may have already said. The smith machine has it's place in a routine. Squats IMO is not one of them. Google any of these.

Use anything as motivation! Keep it up.

Well said, as always.

This guy may not have any clue about positioning when it comes to basketball. So that minimizes his strength. A lot of people know little about post defense. That part aside, basketball has nothing to do with other real work applications. You sound like you are jealous in the weight room and just needed a reason to feel…

You can always add more protein to your day by editing your goals if it bothers you. I can't see your diet to see how much you actually ate or how much is suggested that you eat. Eating more protein can help with hunger.

My wife wants me to get some men's under armor tights. I just don't think that would be comfortable. I need the boys to be able to breathe. I can see it now. They would be in there telling each other to scoot over. I would just wear long shorts over them so why wear them at all?

I'm a Niners fan and I completely agree. I'm sure other team fans wouldn't want to see it since they would rather see their team. But, given the choice of Niners/Seahawks again or Broncos/Seahawks most would pick the NFC title game again. That Superbowl was horrible. They should have given the Seahawks the trophy and said…

Since it is so hard to get back and I am a Niners fan: 49ers vs. Broncos Broncos get much of the same they got in the last Superbowl. 34-10.

I searched the wasp waist. Now I'm freaked out at what I saw. :embarassed: :frown: :cry:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Crap. We don't have those here in my part of the globe.

Can't get any easier than this.
