That's a great achievment. Keep up the great work.

Big difference. Keep up the great work.

Here is my routine currently. Sometimes I change it up if I am training for something specific (I.e. Spartan Race). But for the most part this is what I do. I change the weights around so that my body doesn't get bored. Sunday: 6-13 Mile run (or 30-50 miles outdoor bicycle at average 15mph) Monday: 2-2.5 mile run then 90…

Awesome feedback everyone. You are all a testiment to why this site works. Thanks for everything.

Spot on.

BTW. Nothing wrong with being 30 going through ranger school. LOL. I hope to be in better shape when I go than I have been since I was 20.

I will be doing the pre-ranger course. I am full active and qualified for Ranger school out of the gate when I joined through my ASVAB scores a while back when I took them. Only issue might be that they are postponing ranger schools for a while, so I might have to wait. I really hope to not have to wait. So right now I am…

Yup. Lesson learned. The hard way.

Which tattoo? :)

LOL. That's my goal. I have 5 months of Army training coming up (Including ranger school) so maybe I will have them by then. :)

Here is my routine. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck. :) Sunday: 6-13 Mile run Monday: 2-2.5 mile run then 90 minutes Chest and Triceps finish with 10 minutes on stairs Tuesday: 2-2.5 mile run then 90 minutes Back and Biceps finish with 10 minutes on stairs Wednesday: No cardio 90 Minutes legs and shoulders finish…

Check out my routine if you like. It is posted under one of the forums here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/322541-a-workout-for-your-to-try I have been training for the U.S. Army and I have lost over 10% body fat and 62 pounds with this routine. I am 30 years old and I can now SMASH the physical tests. Good luck.

Answer is simple. Sometimes when you fall asleep your body and mind enter a sleep mode that is hard to shake off. If you sleep for a short amount of time after working out (or doing anything for that matter) then your body thinks it is night time and if your force it up, then you will have a haze. Think of times when you…

Honestly, looking at your' diary it looks as if you are leaving too many cals on the table at the end of the day. A lot of days you had 300-450 cals left over. Your body could be compensating by storing the calories it is getting. Try eating back most of your calories and leave only a few at the end of your day. Try zig…

Besides the taste, the best protein powder (in my opinion of course) is Syntha 6. I have used both vanilla and chocolate. They don't taste amazing, but none do. It taste fine but the benefit is in the product. It uses 6 different proteins for 24 hour activation. It has the best ratio of calories to protein that I have…

How hard are you lifting? If you are lifting to the point of failure and your muscles are sore the following day, then you absolutely should not lift the same muscle group. Keep in mind that even if you aren't lifting a specific muscle group on a given day, you are still using those muscles to stabilize. For example, it…

Please add my wife clong1985. She will be alone starting in October as I leave with the Army for Fort Benning Georgia. Best of luck. :)

I had a similar problem a couple of months back. Biggest culprit was not enough calories or carbs. Very important to eat back exercise calories if you are on a good exercise routine. Others will argue the fact, but I eat them back now and I never feel tired or out of energy. I also have a shake for breakfast and for lunch…

Unfortunetly I have found that a good balance with cardio and weight lifting is key. While, at heart, I am a weightlifter, I must run almost every day. Personally, I run before I lift weights. There are people that will say to run after but if I did that, then I would never do cardio at all. Mostly it takes time and…

Insanity will help. The idea is to tone and lower overall body fat to get definition. What insanity will not do is add a ton of muscle. It will strengthen and tone the muscle you have, but in order to add muscle you need to lift weights more as part of your overall routine. So to sum up, if your goal is to achieve…

"You know what's better than 8 minute abs? 7 MINUTE ABS" -There's Something About Mary

Started at 262lbs. Currently about 203-205. Currently in a muscle addition / shredding phase. Great job everyone.

Just to add to what I said earlier. My basis of understanding is not just my opinion. Upon joining the US Army they have your feet measured, tested, and observed for movement before sending you out to get your shoes. Then they provide the exact shoe that fits your feet. This has greatly reduced runners leg and knee…

Barefoot running is for a very specific type of person. I would not reccomend it if you are having problems with your knees. I was having a similar issue with my knees. Turns out the problem is in my feet (almost no arches). If I was running barefoot I would have made the problem 10 times worse. I got orthotics and problem…

Low weights and high reps. Make sure you don't just focus on arms though. Toning your arms takes a bit of chest, back and shoulder work too. This will all help tighten and tone. If you are on your 3rd set and it feels to easy, then it's time to up the weight. Good luck.

Peanut butter is good for you. Great source of protein, high in calories for sure, but good calories..... every single one of them. Good fats too. And your body needs all of that. I eat it ALL the time.

Agree completely. The only thing I do different is I do cardio first, but this works for me and not most people. Best of luck.

I really don't think it was muscle mass. What can happen, if you have been eating well and exercising and then you have a week where you don't.... you can "shock" your body and "confuse" it. This confusion can cause weight loss. That's why it's good every now and then to zig zag calories or change up your exercise routine.…

Just looking at a quick snapshot of your diary I notice that sodium is consistantly over. I struggled with this for a while. Once I got that under control I noticed an immediate drop. Also, fat intake seems to be going over as well. Sodium will retain a lot of water weight, so it's important to keep that one under the…
