Ok. I want to loose weight. I have no time to read this entire thread (I'm sorry I'm sorry don't shoot/rape/pillage/flame me).
I work at a golf course which also happens to have a health club, therefore I get free membership. So I'm going to start working out.
What is the best workout routine to loose weight?
What is the best workout routine to gain muscle mass?
Thanks,

| That one I posted on the last page, except with the shoulders definitely added in, plus on the off days )3x a week( do cardio for 30 mins or more. Eat a hydroxycut in the morning 1 hour before you eat breakfast and then drink half a pot of coffe. Eat half a sandwich 5 times a day and dont eat anything but tea after 6! |

This thread has inspired me to start getting in shape and bulking up. I took my before pics about 2 weeks ago, ill post my after pics in about 6 months. I am splitting my cardio (4 days a week) between running, stationary biking, and swimming. On my cardio days, I conecentrate leg lifting (quads, etc) as well as biceps, triceps, etc. On my non days, i work more of my upper body, abs and also some calf exercises. I am also having one day per week with only light cardio and no lifting. I am hoping this will be enough to accomplish my goal. Will let you know how things work out, as I havent been in shape since senior year of high school (4 years ago!)

My opinion for losing weight: Control your diet. As long as calories in is < than calories out, you will lose weight - regardless of your exercise routine.
My opinion for gaining muscle mass: Start powerlifting. Nothing will make you bigger and stronger faster if done properly. Build your base first and then shape it. |

Good on yah :) my starting weight was about 140 I know its hard for us lightweights to bulk up an all, but yeah...it can happen. The hardest part of it all was changing my diet to 3-4 thousand calories a day. It comes down to the more fat you have in your diet the harder and longer you can work out. Which means more bulking. You can lose fat any time you want, but with the proper diet your cardio should start boosting as well.
diet is probably around 60% of body building and training (used to do Triathalon stuff). Working out is easy compared to watching what you eat for22 hours a day. |

Best to do cardio on your off days, but if you have to do it before or after a workout, go with after. |

hehe welcome to my world. If youve seen my pics...I was smaller than I am now and I was hitting 300+ on the bench. I didnt start bulking up till I lowered the weight, started focusing on form (no lower back arching, mindfully reducing amount of back and shoulder and triceps as I do it, etc...) and increased the # of sets and reps.
Im not big, but getting bigger and its all been happening in the last few months (I was out for 8 months due to 2 torn rotator cuffs)
PS im out again for a week or two because I ed up my wrist!!@! Will I ever just be NON FRIGGING INJURED???!?!! *tears* |

| Just got out of plaster the other week after breaking my left wrist and severely fracturing my right wrist. They told me not to do weights for a month out of plaster so I'll stick to that. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar injuries and then returned to weight training. I've lost a 1.5cm round my left bicep and most of my left forearm has wasted away and my right has round the wrist. Will this come back quickly or will it be forever slightly smaller. As a swimmer I'm slim as well (6ft, 75kg, but I was 65kg before starting weights) and my left forearm now looks really skinny and my right looks really skinny around the wrist. Just wondering how anyone who had similar injuries worked themselves back to normal strength and how quickly it took really. |
