All you need is barbell and lots of iron, later you can also buy a bench but everything else is pretty much pointless if you want to gain muscle. According to many many professional bodybuilders around the world. |
Yeah, great advice. If you wanna be like Mac and be all glam muscles and no core.
I bet your dumb ass didn't even click the ing link. :p |

I've haven't been to the gym nor worked out as previously planned, as I've been too busy with work.
However, due to better eating, I am loosing weight......albeit very slowly. I still need to get my ass exercising though, even if it's just in the hotel gyms/pools. |

I need this thread. I've been eating like since Thanksgiving, and haven't worked out regularly since, well, about a year ago. I've had so much going on my life that I've just been too exhausted to make time for weights and cardio. We were also refinishing our basement, so our weights weren't even set up for quite some months.
Anywho, work out room has been finished now since early summer, and I still haven't touched the weights. We even added a pull-up/dip station! Ughhh.
My only saving grace is that I'm so busy on my feet at work, I can afford to eat the ty food I've been eating. I haven't actually gained any weight - I'm just soft and flabby. :/
We're going to Jamaica for a wedding at the end of February though, so I have lots of time to get my bod ripped again. |

| With my running, I've been having knee troubles and slight shin splints, so I'm slowing down my pace and having a steadier, more deliberate running style. Do you all think if I did separate leg exercises (lunges, wall sits, calf raises, etc) that those troubles would go away due to increased strength? |

In February i started a physical preparation that was necessary for a trip i would have in May. I lost 12Kg (around 26.5 Pounds) thanks to 28Km (around 17.5 miles) of running per week and health food.
After the trip i kept the 'health routine' until July, when the ing treadmill broke and since then, none in my condominium fixed that . And the gym is always massively crowded. It's so annoying.
I definitely MUST restore that routine but i'm afraid it won't happen this year anymore. :sadgreen: |

Mind: blown. What the was I doing in January? Oh yeah... drinking heavily and not keeping fit.
Also, regarding your shin splints: I'm no expert but I would guess your running technique is to blame. Do you run flat-footed? Probably better to ask your doctor than the COR. |

| Shoes too... Running style is something that is very hard to change. If you think about it, running is a very natural thing, so you are probably moving through your stride and landing close to what your body feels right. Its all about getting shoes that support that stride. |

J just stick to doing simple compound movements.
You don't want to be an over trained roid head I'm guessing, so on day you're not running just throw in some exercises that will hit loads of muscle build proper strength and get you looking good.
E.G.
Monday - Chin Ups (Hits your arms, back ,traps, abs, 95% of biceps) Do three to four sets of as many as you physically can (or with weights if you can do a lot).
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Deadlifts (Works basically every muscle group to the max.) Don't around with light weights, practice with lower weights than aim to lift as heavy as you physically can. Do three sets of LOW rep, but bloody heavy weights.
Thursday - Run
Friday - Dips (Again, works ridiculous amounts of your upper body, better than push-ups and will build a powerful chest and shoulders as well as hitting your core and back. Do three to four sets of as many as you physically can (or with weights if you can do a lot).
Weekend - Do what you like, another run, rest, squats for legs?
The weight workouts can be done easily in 30 minutes depending on your break between sets. Warm up decently and focus on your breathing.
Hope I've not been too condescending. Good luck on your workout! |

| I took about 3 months off due to being so busy with work, but I'm back on my routine as of last Wednesday. 5 days/week lifting with a weekend day thrown in just doing cardio. Treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical, or arc for cardio. 4 day split of back, legs, chest, shoulders. 30-45 mins max for the lifting sessions, followed up with a 20 min cardio session. Diet is pretty much a keto style diet which works really well for me. I'm not looking to bulk up, just be lean. Meathead look is :D |
