[ QUOTE ] I knew I could count on you guys for advice [ QUOTE ] however freeweights is the best kind of weight workout .. [/ QUOTE ] So.......using the weight machines is a no-no? I'm trying the 4 meals a day approach, anyone else experimented with this. I would like to shed some more fat, and build up muscle again. My…
atkins diet seems like the quick fix diet to me. You shed pounds quickly, but it doesn't really change your lifestyle and eating right. I'm trying to eat better, eat small meals per day, stop eating food after 9pm, workout everyday and hopefully i'll loose some of this computer weight that I have been carrying around for…
I'm on a diet a producer and a lead programmer I work with both did, they lost 80 and 75lbs respectively. The diet is more-so about monitoring your intake (via a spreadsheet) and knowing what you're eating. On average, what I eat in a day looks like this: Kashi GOLEAN! Crunch cereal 8AM milk 8AM banana 9AM tuna 11AM…
[ QUOTE ] I'm 6'4", and 195 lbs. And that's been the same for the past 5 years. In fact, I'd like to add some pounds. Doesn't seem possible. [/ QUOTE ] You can have some of mine. 6'4" 215. Tryin to cut back how much I eat lately, particularily difficult with the QA job cause we don't do jack all freakin day. Definitely…
[ QUOTE ] Verm, from experience, i'd say that you are far too presumptious to call things myths.. I think it's really pointless to get into a silly arguement... However I believe not a single human physique is the same, all of us are very different.. so different approaches work for different people. [/ QUOTE ] While Daz…
Sure thing, Lupus. Pretty much everything I know I've learned from someone else's studies, so I'm glad to pass along any info that might help others. John Stone's site is good, too - more for motivation than information, but an interesting read. I didn't say anything about stretching but should have. I do stretch daily,…
one thing to remember about your gut is that there are two types of fat, one layer BEHIND the muscles. Doing situps is pointless untill both of these layers of fat are low, then you can get some decent muscle tone in that area. My basic regime: 40 pressups, 4 x 10 reps 90 lifts of 10kg per arm, in 3 x 30 reps low cal beer…
Damn Ryno I'm in the same boat and I'm 22, I blame being engaged and severely twisting my ankle while jogging down a crappy Seattle sidewalk (come live in Seattle, even our sidewalks have pot holes!). I'm about 220 right now, I've only gained about 15 pounds, but fat just looks bad on me, so I'm working out which thus far…
[ QUOTE ] Soda's huge. I went from drinking 3-5 sugary sodas a day to the same number of diet sodas (diet dr pepper for teh win!) and I shed 20 pounds in a month and a half just for starters. [/ QUOTE ] Truth!! Soda is so very bad. I'm 6' 2" and got up to 237 lbs. over the course of a few years. Then I panicked because a…
ok so I didn't want to do this because being humble and modest is important and all but I guess this could be used as good reference material, here are some quick shots I took just now: http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n101/st3ady/workout1/ I lift at the gym sunday-thursday, and eat fast food every day for lunch, wendys,…
