go with 40/40/20.....

miscalculating your calories...measure and weigh everything....or overestimating your calories burned during exercise...good luck

are you kidding me

touch and go..

To really get good at them you should do them every other day...or everyday...its up to you...the more you do them, the more your body will adapt to perform them....i couldnt do any...now I can do 8-9...I started with jumping up and slowly bringing myself down..(neg reps)

keep doing the unassisted pull-ups...if you can do 3, then do 3x3 and on the last set go for max reps

I'm not even ready for those

No way...front squat are more difficult than a back squat....requires more core strength and shows all your muscle imbalances...most people hate it cause they cant do them

work on the front squat first.....once your able to front squat w/o losing balance, then you'll be ready to press

OP didnt say anything about BBq's...I did...I know why I'm not losing weight....and at this point i'm not even worried about it...I know what I have to do....however I have still lost inches...and OP I'm 6'2'' as well

have you dropped your cals since losing all the weight??? I'm in the same position...I workout 3-4 times a week/no cardio/besides weekly yard work and basketball. I have lost about 25 #, and have been stuck for 2 mths. I know I need to increase cardio or drop my cals....however I'm from NY and its summer time, too many…

are you afraid of gaining weight...why are your conerned about newbie gains...if you want gains eat at 200 calorie surplus and lift hard or go home...

You need to get your diet in order....If you're busting your but and given up all vices and have not lost any weight you may be miscalculating calories...lifting weights will not change that...as far as weight training, start with a three day per week full body program that includes squats,presses,deadlifts,rows....good…

bump....I mix both in each workout...most taxing exercise to start 3x5, second around the same, last few exercises going to failure or up to 10-12 reps...

you shout net 1800 cals and stop eating exercise calories back

stats, macros....these things help us give you sound advice. Also I doubt you didnt lose weight from eating too little....all that starvation mode is bull

Clean and press

someone post great results in "success stories" and gets ridiculed for the term "clean eating'....this site can be trash...a bunch of followers...good job OP...

consider the three years not wasted....at least you built strength and now focous on tension...thats the best way to sculpt your body

start with jumping rope for 5 min...do five three minute rounds on the heavy bag, minute rest each round...increase each week or so...30-40 min of punching will wear you out...I only do three rounds

I agree with nathanfronk....a lot of these comments make no sense

when I eat carbs it just makes me want to eat more and more...i limited my carbs for about 10 weeks and saw great results...I ate about 75g a day...however one day a week I would eat 200g or more. Then I re-introuced carbs(bread, rice, pasta) back into my diet on a daily basis with the same cal restricton, i did this for…

5x5 is a great strength program...but it gets boring...maybe add some power cleans and front squats...both great exercises...

I agree with you....I am the same...when I was eating 2100 cals a day i was losing weight weekly..but I was hungry all day...then according to TDEE calculations I could eat 2400 and lose...I did for a mth and didnt lose a pound, infact i gained 2...now I'm back to 2100...I think once you start increasing cals you tend to…

I tried Insanity 2 years ago...quit after 6 weeks....the increase of difficulty in the second month was too much...extra 20 min and tougher exercises killed me....

If you need to lose 40 pounds theres no need to do exercise targeting abs...compound movements is a must, multi joint exercise that work the entire body...these exercises target your abs as well at the same time...stay away from isolation exercises until you become leaner...your cardio is perfect..

In the beginning about 12 weeks ago I was doing the intervals on the elliptical...but now that the weather is nice I started walking or riding my bike in the mornings

I eat at 2100-2400 a day...my tdee minus 500 is 2400....Sometimes I dont get a chance to log my post workout meal....I workout at night....I havent lost in like 3 weeks...however my diet has not been %100 accurate...needed a lil break..I havent gained any weight either..

sorry forgot to add that....power lifting....2-5 reps for everying except...curls and tricep extensions...sometimes I'll even do max weight with barbell curls for 3 reps

6'2 225 Ibs 27% BF Compound lifts...deads, bench, power cleans, squats/front and back,OHP, rows and some accessory work...3-4 days per week...walking and biking 3-4 per week...
