Oh **** lol. I hate typing on my tablet. Autocorrect apparently does some crazy things

Thanks guys, I will definitely do a lot of reading here. I do like the sound of diet drinks at least until I can cut out soda entirely. They do taste like ... but I'll still get the carbonation I...

I'll try to be as succinct as possible which is hard for me.

I want to start hitting the gym and go back to all pros routine, but I have no energy which I attribute to my diet (I hope).

I...

Update - We stayed at a hotel this weekend which had a fitness center. I absolutely love being able to just walk a little bit and hit the gym/treadmill. I need a home gym asap. One of the biggest...

Excellent! One more question. If you don't have a truck (or easy access to a friends), are people on CL willing to deliver? I assume it varies on the seller, but I'm talking about in general. Am...

What type of setup do you have? And yea, my wife and I decided that we'll stick to the gym for a bit before making that type of investment. I mean I'm paying $60/month for the two of us, so...

Well, my wording is probably wrong. I wouldn't mind getting big, but I just set a small goal of increasing strength so I can stay motivated. I typically end up doing a workout too big, burn myself...

Sounds good, and you're right. The only reason I am at this place is because it's the closest 24h gym, which benefits my wife more than me. Based on that real 5x5 routine, it seems all I'd really...

Ohh that's not a bad routine. Yea, I was planning 3 days (ABA, BAB, etc)

Can I get away with using machines for some of them? I'd like to do freeweights if possible (deadlift, shoulder...

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not looking to become huge, or ripped. I'm 36, married, and don't really care if I look ripped in front of a mirror. Of course, I don't want to be...

Thank you for your advice, and sorry it took so long for me to reply.

That is a fantastic idea, I like the thought of a carbonated energy drink as that will help with two goals of beginning to...

Hey there, thanks for the reply. I don't mind harsh replies, I need it. You're exactly correct that I could and should just flip the switch and deal with it, but most of it is not wanting to. I...

Hey everyone,

One of the biggest reasons preventing me from the gym is my extreme lack of energy, and that is likely attributed to my horrific diet. That said, I know I can't just snap my fingers...

Thanks for the reply. I think one thing I need to do is find a gym with at least 4 benches. I don't think I'll feel as bad benching my friday weight as long as I'm not hogging the bench. I know I...

It's definitely all in my head unfortunately.

As far as B, do you often see skinny newbies struggling with < 35lb plates often? If so, that's definitely a relief. Once I get back going, 35 is typically my workout weight until I can squeeze my...

A problem is, the gym I go to usually has a bunch of jacked young guys, not 55 year olds :( I am looking for a 24/hr gym nearby but the closest I could find is some unstaffed gym. Sounds a little...

Hi everyone,

I used to do this routine about 2 years ago and then stopped lifting for some time. I love the routine, I think it's awesome to do a core workout like that, but I have one thing...

Thanks for the tips so far. Getting a bench / rack at my house would be pretty sweet, especially to get me through the hump of embarrassment. A rack would be nice too so I wouldn't need a spotter....

Last time I hit the gym on a regular basis, I finally reached my goal of benching 45lb plates. Finally, no more small weights! However, it's been about a year and a half since I've been at the gym...
