Nope it doesn't change anything for me. I'd still eat them, with or without exercise.

Yes, and then take it when you're not looking ;) Would you go through a maze with me?

I think I need this in my life right now

Welcome! Your knees should not be hurting doing any of the moves. Hopefully you can post the video and the experts here can give you advice :wink:

I have callouses too. It just comes with the territory. Your hands will toughen up, but the process can be painful (callouses get torn, etc). I would also echo what krok said to get a good grip on the bar, and try not to pinch the fleshier parts of your fingers.

No, I hate feet lol Would you go apple picking with me?

You should start lifting now, while staying a deficit. That way you can maintain your lean body mass. Often times without resistance training, you'll end up losing muscle along with fat. That is what you do not want. Good luck with everything :smile:

Condos/houses are pretty expensive here. $140k wouldn't get you much here, so my parents would never sell the house for that little. Although, I wish I could find something for that price lol.

If you're a schmuk, than I want to be one too! B) --- To answer your question OP, I've been lifting for about 8 months now and I love it. It's changed my body shape in a good way and I love challenging myself now. I do some cardio on my non-lifting days and I find that it's a good balance to have. I am definitely more…

I can understand why goals can be stressful. This is why I set small, manageable and realistic goals for myself. I find that it helps to keep me focused and on track. I guess you will need to find something that works for you. There is no one-size fits all for this. Good luck op!

I usually do some dynamic stretching and a light set of the weight/moves I'll be doing.

Just did
-
Yes Would you bake cookies with me?

To bring all the boys to the yard B) But really, I want to look better and be healthier. It's a nice way to distract myself from a cr*ppy day.

Squat: 5@60,75,90,105,120 Bench: 5@45,45,50,55,65 Row: 5@45,50,55,65,75 The last set of squats were ugly. I really don't know why my form turns to cr*p some days and not others :s. I think I may have to repeat that weight again before moving up.
