yeah i call the leg press the "10 step" you have 10 steps before youre out of breath and throwing up from the time you stop doing a hard set and stand up hehe.
good times.
uhm oh and LeopoldStotch:
to start of run 2-3 times a week. I only work out 3x a week now. much better results than the old daily crap i was doing.
today was a weak workout cuz i was so hungover. I plan on going in tomorrow and thrashing myself hehe. but yeah. A general thing is if you can run for more than 30 minutes, 2x a weak. and youll have a lot more energy based more on diet than cardio ability.
workout without having eaten in the morning. have 2 piece of fruit. and then try eating a tortilla with 2 eggs, 4 slices of ham, cheese, chilis, onions, tomatoes.
After 2 hours of digestin that last one youll have a crazy good work out :)
but yeah, gettin your body able to recover quickly from lack of oxygen and being able to use oxygen quickly and efficiently are great ancillaries to workin out ;)

thanks for the advice .. i started my quest to be close to the type of shape i was about 6 months ago, when i wasnt winding out everytime .. hahhahaa ... but anyways .. yeah .. i just hopped on the bike and did it for about 40 minutes, and did a couple of sets of pushups .. i plan not to hit the weights till like next week or something like that .. (there i go delaying my workout schedule again .. lazy me ..) .. but just do plain ol' cardio this whole week .. running and biking .. just to get my blood flowing and heart pumping ,, |

I would stay away from beer and dark liquor as they probably have the most calories/carbs.
I would think clear spirits, like vodka and gin and their related mixed drinks (w/fruit juice :p) would be the best.
However, i'm not speaking from a position of knowledge.. just instinct |
this is usually true for beers, but when it comes to other drinks, the reason they are dark is because of the time they were in the keg. (which adds no calories, etc...) The lighter drinks like white rum and vodka aren't cask aged and therefore are clear.
if you want good alcoholic drinks im thinking juice mixers (you know bitch drinks :D ) or something that will fuk you up really quick so you drink less anyways, like 151 :p
good luck getting drunk - the healthy way! (oxymoronic? :rolleyes: ) |

Haha it was merely a suggestion!
I have never, and will never drink bitch drinks to "drink healthier", bring on the whiskey and brews :disbelief |

ok guys...
trying to gain weight here, without breaking out.
i need to put on at least 5 pounds, max 10.
been working out for a couple of months now.
i have more definition, but no real difference in size.
help!!!!
didn't feel like reading through all of part 1. |
i have no idea what workouts you are doing, but to get big faster do more dumbell workouts, esp dumbell incline and dumbell bench press, this will bulk you up much faster than freeweights.
Also ofcourse the rule of thumb do fewer reps at higher weights, and try to max out every month or so to increase mass.
A lot of college football or wrestling teams post pretty good workout routines based on your max on different machines. It wouldn't be an awful idea to print one out as a guide to help you out and gage your progress with. |

| i'm sorry but maxing out is stupid...it's completely useless...it's just a biggest competition... |

btw mens health just did an article on the fact that stretching isnt a good idea. I agree. When you loosen everything up your tendons let things like rotator cuffs and what not slip out. You might do a quick 5 second stretch to work our some soreness but dont go nuts.
|
Right now it's trendy to be anti-strech, but the fact is, a LIGHT/moderate strech is REQUIRED before any workout to prevent injury. |

what are you talking about?! :crazy:
floorfiller c'mon man :wtf:
first of all, maxing out is very important in progressing and moving forward to higher weights, if you don't max out every once in a while you'll plateau. your muscles need to be pushed to a new level or you'll never get anywhere.
trust me on this one, i know what I'm talking about |

well all i know is that i've never needed to...to each their own...i can get over plateaus my own ways...

I "max" by getting the highest weight I can do a set of 5 with. doing it 1 time is pointless ;) and if you wanna get max up do squats.
Stretching: meh, do it if you want. I seem to get along without it hehe. the 15 min cardio should loosen you up well. But yeah. go for it if you want.
for chest explosion!!111! do barbell bench, but I find it gives less impressive chest. Also you need a partner to be really effective with it.
also im incline bench sloot. its my fav
Incline DB Fly
Incline DB press
Flat DB bench
everything else
this is my 3rd week of doing a flat bench. never really done it in last year ;) |
