Where should I start?

Where should I start?

I'm 5'11/180, 75% of my diet is bacon cheeseburgers. Has been for years, and strangely my cholesterol is low as of my last measurement. Im a picky eater, but I just wanna bulk up a little, and get the 8pack back.(I can get 6 when I flex, but my desk job and diet are taking their toll). I'm gonna start working out 2 nights a week and increase when possible, but this is at an apartment complex gym, so I need some basic suggestions for my simple goals. Thx, brolys

What are your goals? That diet is gross by the way.

Do people think they are so special and unique that the stickies won't apply to them? God.... The only worthy question on this is the part about your limited gym resources. Does your gym have mostly free weights or machine weights?

gym has mostly free weights. 2 treadmills, a crosstrainer machine, stepper, bike, then it has the pull down machine and that other one where you have your arms @ 90 degrees and squeeze them towards each other, in front of you. I tried a salad yesterday but I had french dressing on it. I wish I had a more diverse diet.

Where should I start?

Anyone ever ordered from these people? Bought this protein before?

Too much volume for one day?

Too much volume for one day?

For the past month and a half I have been working out twice a day on fridays. Around midday I do:Squats 3x8 Box Squat 1x20 Bench Press 5x5 Deadlift 5x5 About 6hrs later I go and do. Calf Thinger 3x20 weighted wide grip chins 3x10 DB Press 5x5 and then finish w/2 or 3 sets of tate presses or curls () It hasn't been a problem, I only feel it on Sundays. I get 5k+ calories (1 shake after each workout, rest is whole foods). And I'll get about 10hrs of sleep tonight. Too much for my CNS or no? Like I said I only "hurt" (just slightly sore) on Sundays.

the way i see it (and i know il be disputed on this) everyone is different and you need to find what works for you, last summer before i knew what i was doing, id work out 3 times a day an hour each, 2 times lifting and 1 hour of cardio (and i ate hardly anything, what i did eat was protein and well below maintenance cals). that was definitely what would be on this board or anywhere considered over training, but i gained significant muscle strength durring this time as well as i lost 40 lbs of mostly fat. i wouldnt be as strict as i was but it all has to do w/ your metabolism and your body's predisposition to make gains, and of course what you eat. id personally suggest taking a month or so eating where you think your maintenace cals are and see if you gain or lose weight, then tweak your food as needed. im no expert but i would venture to say thats a little excessive for one day. il let christophers feild that one.

whats the rest of your week look like?

Undefined whats the rest of your week look like? Have the whole weekend off, usually just lounge around the house. I don't lift again til Monday afternoon.

you're just doing the same workout once a week?

dmaestro Have the whole weekend off, usually just lounge around the house. I don't lift again til Monday afternoon. youre dedicated arent u.

Shaolin_sword36 you're just doing the same workout once a week? no, i workout mon, tues, wed, and fridays. thurs and the weekend i have off. fridays I workout twice though

Undefined youre dedicated arent u. yeah im obsessed.

Break = Ownage

Break = Ownage

Okay, well, I took a week and a half off due to the amount of work I have to do at school and it turns out i'm a fucking panzy. I went back, after my little break to get my 15 rep maxes for HST. I'm not sure if I want to do it anymore. I AM NOT GOING TO SHOULDER PRESS 10 LBS ON MY FIRST DAY. That's disgusting. Anyone else using horribly low pink weights? It's not even beneficial! Yeah! Curling with 15 lbs! I'd like to see other peoples 15 rep maxes. and I can't squat shit for 15 reps (or any amount of reps that is...)

you can't shoulder press more than 10lbs for 15 reps?

if after only a week you can only curl 15lbs then you musnt have been that strong in the first place. I'd say it was normal then.

Um, guys, "Hyperthophy Specific Training" = HST. If you don't know anything about it, don't reply. Yes, I curl more than 15lbs. Yes, I shoulder press more than 10lbs. I was refering to the "first" day of HST?

when my roommate started he was like benching 5's on each side don't worry about it.

Break = Ownage

Where'd you get these flax wraps! I've been using low-carb pitas, either Thomas's or Atkins. They're supposedly 10 grams protein, 10 grams fiber..I'm not sure if they're that good but they're decent at least.

Need some exercise help! Wanna get into a bikini quickly...

Need some exercise help! Wanna get into a bikini quickly...

Please give me advice on some good exercises to do. I also have changed my eating habits. I only eat fruit in the morning and fresh veggies for lunch, then not too big of portions of regular dinner. thanks for the help! Pics of exercises also helpful (I always feel like I dont know what Im doing)

newb thread in archives stickies

are you the same faithless with the pieced boobs? Cause you sure as shit look fine to me

Faithless Pics of exercises also helpful (I always feel like I dont know what Im doing) Pics of you to fully evaluate the situation would be helpful.

dread Pics of you to fully evaluate the situation would be helpful. it's funny cause its true

for pics of exercises check out http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/slide...id=16&subId=37 and http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html as for excercises, check the stickies at the top of the page and in the archives. A good combo of compund exercises and a proper diet (calories ~Body weighth x 12 to start and adjust from there) will be you best bet to losing fat and minimizing muscle loss, though it may take some time.

PurEvl are you the same faithless with the pieced boobs? Cause you sure as shit look fine to me What he said.

hey faith Last time i saw pics of you, you were in a bikini... so I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly improvement-wise. I'm gonna guess abs though, since that's what most women fuss over when it comes to bikinis. I am currently doing these exercises for my belly and it is shrinking fast: edit: otherwise, I'm doing a ton of various exercises, based on what muscle group I'm working for that day, and I do Cardio (elliptical or swimming) 3x a week.

Perplexed None of those exercises are making your belly shrink. no, but the other exercises she does, bench, dip, etc, do help. and once it has shrunk, she'll have abs

Perplexed None of those exercises are making your belly shrink. that's what you think. they are tightening my abs, which were previously quite stretched out from 3 pregnancies.

eat protein

PurEvl Cause you sure as shit look fine to me

Also there is no quick fix it takes time and motivation so if you go out and expect to be super thin in a week quit now otherwise do it and stick with it so that your body stays the way you want it

are you saying the bikini you wore from last year no longer fits? You were doing good on your own with working out. What's going on now?

pics pls

so like, wheres the pics /OT

Girl_Next_Door are you saying the bikini you wore from last year no longer fits? You were doing good on your own with working out. What's going on now? it does, but I wasnt really comfortable in it last year either.

Honestly... Pics would help, because it makes what your problems are more clear. I can understand if you dont' want to post them for this pack of wolves, but it would helpl. What time frame are you looking at here?

trancezj Honestly... Pics would help, because it makes what your problems are more clear. I can understand if you dont' want to post them for this pack of wolves, but it would helpl. What time frame are you looking at here? Definitely get more replies if you post pics. Not that the replies would necesserily all be constructive. 70-80% of them would be ... or Jonno does the latter even in my journal.

this was me last year. I have lost a little weight since then, in fact, about 10 lbs, but I still have this weird area under my breasts that pokes out (where my ribs are, and my stomach isnt flat yet either.

You look fine. If anything I'd suggest that you get a new diet, 40/40/20 ratio perhaps, and hit the gym. I like girls with a bit of muscle on them so I'd suggest getting some weight training in. It'll take work but you look great now so any improvements would be a bonus.

If I'm not mistaken I think she's worried more about her abs and glutes.
