workout tips?

I have a weider pro 9930 series gym set which has a max resistance of about 175 pounds. It has a bench press a butterfly and a few other things i dont use. anyway im 6'5 340 ive been using the gym about twice a week past 6 months. ive noticed muscle gain in my chest and arms. I use the max resistance doing about 3 sets of 10 on the butterfly and bench press. I want to work in some sort of fat burning excersies along with still building muscle. any tips or ideas. Im thinking about getting a set of 40 weight dumbells. also should i work in protein shakes with my workouts or will that just help add more fat.

are whole eggs really that bad for you?

are whole eggs really that bad for you?

i see a lot of guys just eating egg whites. but then i just noticed that ceaze eats 10 eggs every morning / is that whites or the whole egg?

:cholesterol:

no, they aren't that bad for you anyone that tells you otherwise is a crybag pussy

taqman15:cholesterol: :mainstreammediahasbrainwashedyou:

shastaisforwinners:mainstreammediahasbrainwashedyou: I have a high cholesterol level

this thread needs more avs

Opi this thread needs more avs

taqman15 I have a high cholesterol level the vast majority of people are not affected by dietary cholesterol. High levels of saturated fat will have much much more of an impact on blood cholesterol levels. Sucks that you are in the minority.

shastaisforwinners the vast majority of people are not affected by dietary cholesterol. High levels of saturated fat will have much much more of an impact on blood cholesterol levels. Sucks that you are in the minority. I didn't say it was from eating whole eggs

sheesh no one can take a joke these days I eat a bunch of whole eggs daily edit: I'm eating a turkey and egg sandwich right now

christophers jokes are usually funny what you posted was not what did one tampon say to the other? nothing, they are both stuck up cunts

that was supposed to be a joke? wow

shastaisforwinners that was supposed to be a joke? wow you mentioned crybag pussy so I figured it was apporpriate

My friend's cholesterol level is 111. That may sound great, but his HDL count is 11. His whole family has a history of problems related to cholesterol, so he has to work out and get more HDL in his body, which means lots of whole eggs. Your total cholesterol means little. It's your HDL to LDL ratio that's important.

I normally eat 4 a day sometimes more. My mum has moaned about i should only eat 4 a week or something

I usually just eat whole eggs because I am far too lazy to drain the yolk out.

shastaisforwinners the vast majority of people are not affected by dietary cholesterol. High levels of saturated fat will have much much more of an impact on blood cholesterol levels. /thread

I have 2 yolks and 6 whites every morning. I skip the other four yolks because of the calories, not the cholesterol.

taqman15 what did one tampon say to the other? nothing, they are both stuck up cunts I laughed.

recently had all my levels tested....only one that was high...and way high were tri-glycerides at 259.00 Rest were all in good ranges. Good to know about the eggs, I freakin LOVE eggs hehe

If you arent counting calories, its fine.

I don't really know if eating cholest from eggs is healthy or not, but I tend to avoid it since I eat eggs nearly every day. I have like 5 egg whites each morning with a bagel or some bread.

Opi this thread needs more avs and such a nice av that that

dietary cholesterol =! blood cholesterol

I eat 6 whole eggs/day and my cholesterol levels are fine. I get blood tests done every ~6 months.

are whole eggs really that bad for you?

Other powerlifting routines beside Westside?

Other powerlifting routines beside Westside?

i know we have alot of plers on here, what are some other routines besides westside barbells?

linear periodization, most are based around cycles though that build up to comps

Yeah my old football routine was set up towards power and it was linear periodization. It'd be like 8 week cycles with the last week testing your 1rm.

Caffeine = Bloody Noses?

Caffeine = Bloody Noses?

Everytime i drink caffeine, i get a nose bleed. i dont know what's wrong. When I drink Sprite, I feel fine. When I drink Coca-Cola (or even worse.. Bawls, Sobe, RedBull) I get nosebleeds. When I drink high-caffeine drinks (Bawls & Sobe) I get nose bleeds at least twice a day for the next three days. I don't eat a lot of sugar. This has been going on ever since I can remember drinking Coke... 4? Any ideas?

Caffeine, being a stimulant, coupled with blood vessels that are on the verge of popping by way of genetics or what have you, would contribute to a bloody nose.

coke would give me blood nose as well. But since i got older it happens less frequently. But i don't drink it often though. Just mostly water.

AmCo coke would give me blood nose as well. no shit.

well why not stop drinking coke, and bawls, and red bull? problem would be solved

does a diet and excercise break down fat before you lose it? I'm on week 4 of my diet and excercise. I've been eating good and everything except for the morning. I usually just eat a banana or something light since I'm not hungry in the morning. for lunch I have a tuna sandwhich and for dinner a chicken breast or some more tuna. not soda or junk food at all. I do cardio twice a day. once before lunch and once at night. 15 minutes a piece. Now the thing, I notice my pants fit looser but my love handles are starting to hang more then before . is this normal? Its not all the time, only sometimes. Is it in my head or something? also, I haven't felt this good in a long time. oh and I do the cardio 5 days a week. also, I notice I get full very quick. is this normal also? Like I can't even eat much even if I wanted to.

sounds like you need to eat alot more

I'm not quite understanding the question /boggle Are you lifting? Or just doing cardio? Go read all the stickies

haha yeah I read all the stickies. just doing cardio. The thing is though, I guess I got use to not eating alot and get sick if I eat too much. What about the breaking down of fat? or is it in my head that my love handles hang more :O

you don't lose fat everywhere at the same time...

In my experience the fat gets soft and loose as you lose it, so yeah, your love handles could be hanging down more. If what you are doing works than keep doing it though some weight lifting would be good to add to your routine.

etech In my experience the fat gets soft and loose as you lose it, so yeah, your love handles could be hanging down more. If what you are doing works than keep doing it though some weight lifting would be good to add to your routine. Yeah I have noticed that too but could just be in my imagination

I guess its true then. thanks again. I know that I should be eating a little more but trust me, I can't. I guess I started out wrong but my body is use to it now and I get sick if I eat more then I do now. I know cause I've had a couple of days that I eat a little bit more and end up nausous(sp).

Ivan I guess its true then. thanks again. I know that I should be eating a little more but trust me, I can't. I guess I started out wrong but my body is use to it now and I get sick if I eat more then I do now. I know cause I've had a couple of days that I eat a little bit more and end up nausous(sp). if you get sick from eating too much then just up your calories a little bit at a time until you have a healthier amount of calories. Shouldnt be too hard, just have like a spoonful of natty peanut butter or an extra 2 or 3 eggs.

Ivan I guess its true then. thanks again. I know that I should be eating a little more but trust me, I can't. I guess I started out wrong but my body is use to it now and I get sick if I eat more then I do now. I know cause I've had a couple of days that I eat a little bit more and end up nausous(sp). are you drinking enough water?

And why aren't you lifting?? Out of curiosity..

bclimn are you drinking enough water? of course. thats all I drink.

Elfling And why aren't you lifting?? Out of curiosity.. I wanna lose some fat first then Ima start lifting when I feel I have lost enough.

Ivan I wanna lose some fat first then Ima start lifting when I feel I have lost enough. Reread the sticky on lifting to assist in losing weight... it changed how I think for weight loss (granted I haven't started lifting yet because of my stupid busy schedule )

Ivan I wanna lose some fat first then Ima start lifting when I feel I have lost enough. I used to think the same thing where I would do only cardio and trust me when I say that lifting is so much better then cardio. If you only lift you will lose jsut as much if not more weight then if doing only cardio and you will gain strength and some muscle as well. Lift now or you will regret it later.

BuckNut I used to think the same thing where I would do only cardio and trust me when I say that lifting is so much better then cardio. If you only lift you will lose jsut as much if not more weight then if doing only cardio and you will gain strength and some muscle as well. Lift now or you will regret it later. i agree. it sounds like you're in a severe calorie deficit. what you'll end up doing is losing a ton of weight, but still being flabby. its cause you're burning muscle, probably more than fat. i made the same mistake 2 years ago, i ended up being skinny as hell, but not cut at all. you should be doing what the rest of us "cutting" guys are. eat about 1900-2000 calories (depending on body weight) split up into 6 meals. keep protien intake at atleast 1g per lb of body weight (to help retain muscle) and eat clean otherwise. you probably dont need cardio 10x a week either, maybe do cardio 3x a week and a solid 3 day weight training split (workout 3x a week). otherwise i just dont think you'll be happy with your results, and it will just take you longer to reach what you think you should look like. this is all coming from personal experience.

HOLY SHIT why haven't i started this sooner!

HOLY SHIT why haven't i started this sooner!

today was day 2 of me wandering the gym randomly trying out equipment and stuff and i tried to cover every part of my body... and my body is painful all over.. but DAMN i feel good. working out > * i can't wait for the fat to burn and muscle to show.

That'll be me in a few days, only I have a routine set up. What gym did you join? Were there a lot of people there?

xpinchx That'll be me in a few days, only I have a routine set up. What gym did you join? Were there a lot of people there? dont worry about who is there, we're all self-centered assholes who pay no attention to anyone else in the gym..dont be emberassed about anything in there, we all started off somewhere.

great thread!

everyone at the gym has one goal in mind, to lift some weight. the only reason people will look down on you is if you're trying to do an exercise and your form is absolute crap. if you're lifting weight, even though it's not a ton, they really just dont care. i remember my first couple times in a gym, was my freshman year in highschool. i was nervous and almost afraid just because everyone else knew what they were doing and were so much bigger than me. i would suggest having a friend show you how to do a basic run down of several diff exercises for each body part/muscle.

mike dont worry about who is there, we're all self-centered assholes who pay no attention to anyone else in the gym..dont be emberassed about anything in there, we all started off somewhere. unless you're a girl at my gym. anytime I go near the freeweights or anything over there I get stared at. It's embarrasing

nic379 unless you're a girl at my gym. anytime I go near the freeweights or anything over there I get stared at. It's embarrasing its all in your head. everybody is there to workout.. yeah.. they might be looking.. maybe cause they are resting between sets or something and it happens you see them looking in your direction... they probably arent specifically staring at you just cause your new

nic379 unless you're a girl at my gym. anytime I go near the freeweights or anything over there I get stared at. It's embarrasing the real reason that we're staring should make you feel proud, not embarrassed

get a pt or a good routine going so youre not wandering around the gym like that

nic379 unless you're a girl at my gym. anytime I go near the freeweights or anything over there I get stared at. It's embarrasing i get stared at and prefer to use freeweights. sometimes i just stare back

Yeah, what noXen said. You need to isolate body parts and work them seperatly

NoXeN get a pt or a good routine going so youre not wandering around the gym like that my pt put my on the machines

nic379 my pt put my on the machines well if he got some sort of routine and had a PT show him the basics of the routine it would be good

NoXeN well if he got some sort of routine and had a PT show him the basics of the routine it would be good i know..i was just making fun of my trainer

too many are like that try to find a PT that works with athletes and not housewives

EVERYONE LOOKS, ITS LIKE AM I BIGGER THEN HIM? let them look for a sec or two and they wont care, unless you skinny ma fucka grunting at doing a 100lbs bench

nic379 my pt put me on the sauce dot

NoXeN too many are like that try to find a PT that works with athletes and not housewives my trainer treats me like a guy and I like it like that.

Sh0kka EVERYONE LOOKS, ITS LIKE AM I BIGGER THEN HIM? let them look for a sec or two and they wont care, unless you skinny ma fucka grunting at doing a 100lbs bench what if you're a fat woman grunting at doing a 100lbs bench?

~*Pogovina*~ what if you're a fat woman grunting at doing a 100lbs bench? depends on your fetishes

princess0fdiabl0 depends on your fetishes

johndoe1999 its all in your head. everybody is there to workout.. yeah.. they might be looking.. maybe cause they are resting between sets or something and it happens you see them looking in your direction... they probably arent specifically staring at you just cause your new not because she's new, but if she's hot, then they're definitely staring.

just don't act like a cocky bastard when you are doing your exercises....i really hate when little weenie guys do curls and then walk around for 10 minutes flexing in the mirror

willg133 just don't act like a cocky bastard when you are doing your exercises....i really hate when little weenie guys do curls and then walk around for 10 minutes flexing in the mirror It's like the commercial where that guy weighs himself in the gym then runs a lap around all the exercise equipment, then weighs himself again.

Fabian Yeah, what noXen said. You need to isolate body parts and work them seperatly No.

HOLY SHIT why haven't i started this sooner!
