Give me 15-25% on that chart any day of the week. Uh oh...that makes me a stereotypical white man I guess. Or statistically, a liar...since the majority of men appear to want a size 12 lol. :D
-
I'm no different in my day to day life than I am here. Matter of fact, I'm no different anywhere on the internet lol. My screen name here is my screen name pretty much everywhere...for a reason. You mentioned the body pump thread...which is kind of funny, because threads like those are pretty much why I have the friends I…

I don't see why anyone wouldn't reply to you, to be honest. I wish you luck...dating in general sucks. Online dating can be both better, and worse. But it still sucks lol.
-
I have guy friends that get tons...yet I get almost none. It is what it is...letting something like that determine how you feel about yourself is a really poorly chosen path. I've been single two years now, excepting the few short episodes I listed earlier in this thread. I've had total *kitten* friends go through ten…

If you're defective, so am I.

Every woman I talk to says the same thing. It goes something like this: 'Oh my God...! This site is EXHAUSTING!! I'm thinking of deleting it because it's so overwhelming!!' Here's a few quotes from the OP and another woman on this thread alone: *shrug*...I dunno, like I said, I got very very few messages, and only a…

First...you do look great :). Second...as you said yourself, you're not performing it as its designed to be performed...which is a good thing! What you're doing though isn't really 'building' muscle. If you're eating on a caloric surplus, you might build some very small amount of muscle with higher weight endurance…

♥ Really...I was posting from my phone all afternoon yesterday...there's no way I could have got that point across so clearly :).
-
Ask the incredibly tan brown man?
-
They said it was strength training, and her entire post proved the validity of those refuting it. It's endurance work. You're picking one word...'heavy'...and using it to refute the validity of his entire comment. And for the record, that adjective was directly in response to the woman who posted how the 'heavy lifters'…

*thumbs up*

I haven't seen one 'haughty comment' from a 'heavy lifter' who is 'giving advice' on your bodypump. Your statement itself proves that it is an endurance workout, not a strength workout. That's what all the 'heavy lifters' I've seen in this thread have been saying.
-
Excellent, and reasonable post. I agree with this 150%. For the record, I never took exception to bodypump, just to people stating that it is weight/strength training. To the OP, again...if you don't want to lift freeweights, the machines can absolutely be useful to you. I'd highly suggest freeweights, but that choice is…
-
Lets try this a different way. What are you doing in bodypump? Trying to 'build muscle'? Trying to 'burn fat'? What's your goal? Weight loss? Strength gain? Lets establish a basis for discussion here. Links? You need links to back up one of the basics of strength training? I'm sorry miss, but it's pretty clear that 'links'…
-
It's not just me...it's a fitness industry standard...used so everyone can be on the same page when they discuss exercise programs (instead of just flinging wild opinions based on how they 'feel'). Go argue it with the people that developed it. And I didn't tell her to jump into freeweights. You might take a look at what…
-
Who ever said there would be no gains? You get strength gains in your legs running miles on end as well...but that doesn't qualify it as 'strength training'. Look at it like this, it's an overlapping scale. Low reps (4-6 or so) for strength, mid reps (8-12) for building muscle, high reps for endurance (15+). You will build…
-
What kinds of sets were you doing with the machines? What kind of weight? Walking is cardio. I walk all the time without elevating my heart rate.
-
That's great that you consider it both. That's great that you consider anything involving weight 'weight training'. There is actually a set standard of what is considered 'weight training' (or more correctly stated 'strength training'), and what is considered endurance/cardio. Bodypump is absolutely the latter.
-
I'm not going to quote anyone, but there's a crapload of misinformation in this thread... First, as has been said, bodypump isn't going to do squat for you in terms of strength training. It's a high rep endurance/cardio workout. Second, you don't need cardio in order to 'burn fat'. As a matter of fact, many people will…

I lost 40lbs of fat in 3mos eating mostly Taco Bell. *shrug*

As a single dad who gave up virtually everything in order to gain custody of my kids...I agree completely.

Psycho bipolar girl (experience #2 for those that read my last post) did the same thing to me. Not saying you're psycho or bipolar lol...but any relationship that you have to keep from your friends is pretty much doomed from the onset :).
-
Dude, you and I both know the second girl put a lot of work into her body...but the differences would be marginal to the average person if they had equal bodyfat. That was my point.
-
Send FR. Wait patiently. Send PM asking if FR was even received. Wait patiently. Send second PM asking if initial PM was received. Wait patiently. Repeat, including resending the FR...cause, it might not have gone through.

Congratulation!! Lifting is critical for women, and if you get on the right program...the changes you'll see in a relatively short period will amaze you :). First, we'll go through your given workout and I'll critique some specific things, then I'll list my workout for comparison. First...the actual weight isn't relevant…
-
Love you miss J!!
-
Wow (and this isn't a bash)...this sounds like an incredibly complicated process just to get similar results to a person that doesn't do cardio at all...lifts fasted in the early afternoon ONLY 3x a week...and eats all their calories between roughly 1pm and 9pm. In my best (pre injuries) shape this is what I did, and I can…
-
Yeah, lets focus on him and his suffering and ignore the two people he's going to put through hell in the process.
-
This guy sums it up...although 1 and 2 are pretty equal to my taste. And again...to drive it home, the only real difference in their bodies, is a bit of bodyfat. Lean number 1 out, and she'd look pretty much just like number 2.
