  • I'm going to be giving the advice a go and I'll see if a change is on the horizon after doing so. Thank you for the help guys, I truly appreciate the insight you've given me.
  • I do Flat Bench Press - 3 Sets 12-10-8 Incline DB Press - 3 Sets 12-10-8 Decline DB Press - 3 Sets 12-10-8 I'm on the first phase of an intermediate routine having freshly come off circuit a little over a month and a half ago.
  • This topic is truly inspiring. i nearly squirted on multiple occasions reading some of these brilliant "negatives". I'll have a go at it... 1. My man tits are almost completely gone; and to think, I was just getting used to my bra's. -_- 2. My friends can't use fat jokes on me anymore. I sure miss being the plus sized butt…
  • I bench once week on chest days. Thanks for the advice guys. Appreciate all the suggestions.
  • I'd be happy to share mine with you. I've been at it since January and I'm already seeing steady gains as I reach for my initial weight goal of 190 pounds. From there we'll see; but i have a large frame, and my trainer's have estimated it to be around 185 to 190. So I'll hit the top half of the estimate before I see where…
  • Hopefully, me chiming in can also help inspire you. i was in the same boat for years and years. I've lost 119 since December 6th 2012 and continue to strive for that last 30-40 pounds. You're younger than I am, by about 6 years, so take it from me; the best time to start is now [before some serious health risks become a…
  • I tend to sweat more during Cardio then I do weights. Then again, I really push myself when it comes to cardiovascular endeavors because that's where I was severely lacking. I'm hoping that soon I can do the full 20-10 Tabata split at a dead sprint, which for me is about 9-10, on a 15 incline. Right now I can only do 10-10…
  • For the most part, it's a dangerous myth that just because you start lifting that you'll look like a female Mr. Universe. The truth is, I have a female friend who lifts regularly and she looks nothing like that. Truth is, steroids are the only way you would look like that in the first place. So don't be afraid to pick up…
  • The difference is mind-blowing when you first try it out. You realize just how hard it is to follow through on such a simple premise. When I first tried it a month and a half ago, I could barely sprint at 6.5. Since then, I can sprint at about 9.0 on a 15 incline for 10 seconds + 10 rest and at 10.0 on a reasonable incline…
  • You can add me if you'd like. I'm look to be more active, supportive and encouraged as I strive to achieve my ultimate goals.
  • The interval training falls under the premise of "tricking" your body into burning more by making it constantly raise and lower your heart rate. As for why, when you're heart rate increases, your body runs hotter, so essentially, when you're sweating and you're body works (running a bit hotter) the constant changes more or…
  • My advice to you is to change up your cardiovascular routines as much as you're comfortable with. I started at 348 and have dropped to 229 lbs, 5 of which came off from Monday to Wednesday, and all I do is change up the cardio every 2 to 3 weeks. Also, you can try Tabata Training with the running in 20 second Intervals for…
  • I went through the same thing. It took me awhile, but I finally came to terms with it. In the words of Bruce Wayne of Batman Begins, "People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy" and I couldn't agree more. Thank you very much. My trainer's at the Snap fitness were perplexed that they weren't doing their…
