When to eat question
I've heard a lot of different things regarding how one should eat throughout the day. One thing I keep hearing from folks I know is that you shouldn't eat later in the day, at least not as much as earlier in the day. I trust what I hear from people on this site a lot more than the Joe-schmoes I deal with regularly, as you…

Starting on Protein Shakes
Okay, sorry for the question that has probably been asked a milliion times over, but I've done a quick scroll-around and haven't seen the exact question I'm looking to get answered on any thread topics, so here goes. I'm switching from a 10 gr. of protein breakfast shake (190 calories) to a protein shake mix (Optimum…

Presses w/out a spotter
Need some suggestions regarding a plan to get some good chest work in, but there is nobody there to spot me in the morning when I do my gym work. I know that there is nothing better for building a chest than bench, incline and decline press. However, at the time of the morning I go, there is nobody there to spot me, and I…

Ab workout for a tubby fella
Okay, want to start working away my gut. I have a LONG ways to go, and have never had a "six-pack", but wouldn't mind at least getting to a flatter stomach with maybe a little definition at least. I know that this will take a long, long time to get to, especially in the "out of shape" condition that I am currently in.…

Help with chest and arms please.
Okay, here goes. Never in my life have I been "cut", but I was a pretty decent athlete through high school and one year of college. After that, I went to work in pretty labor-intensive jobs. I've never been a 'small guy', always had a little bit of a belly, but I also had some pretty good mass in my arms, chest, back, etc.…

General "newbie" question
I have a question on daily intake vs. expenditure vs. weight loss. Sorry this is so novice, but I've never paid attention to calories in vs calories out before now. I am seeing that I need to bring in "X" amount of calories to lose weight efficiently, which is actually pretty surprising to me. I mean, I know that you need…

Multivitamins and other supplements novice question

Recently I have hit a plateau in my weight loss (I'm 6'0" and currently at around 235-240 lbs). While my body is changing in good ways…

And we're off! Hi all
Hey all: I'll give a brief rundown, and hope to hear some feedback and maybe get a few good ideas from you folks in the know. Back in September, I weighed around 265-270 lbs. I am 6'0" tall, male and 41 years old. I have a pretty sedentary job all in all and put in a lot of hours (around 60 hrs/week). My eating had gotten…
