hi all,

so here's the deal... I train 4 times a week and after talking to a personal trainer (for free), he said that if I tweaked my exercise a little (combined with rest and diet), I could gain...

I read in a fitness article that you can take a dumbbell weight, hold it by your side, then lower the weight as low as possible (just above knee level), then raise...

(this, combined with cardio...

upon waking up this morning, and throughout most of the day, I was back to my usual 183 ... *phew!*

(and I didn't even go to the gym! just ate what I normally woulda ate on a normal day)

its not too bad with a bagel!

a couple a times, I went to the gym twice a day.... during my lunch hour, I'd weight train, then after work (around 6 pm), I'd do cardio...


I never really saw much gains in doing this, mind you,...

yeah; I second this notion... you probably lost fat/water weight and gained muscle... (muscle also weighs MORE tahn fat, FYI).

or; u've just had an inaccurate reading.

So here's the deal... My weight is 183 lbs normally. When I wake up and weight myself on an empty stomach and no shirt, I can be as little as 179 lbs.

Normal, right?

So this past weekend, I...

Currently what I do is the following:

Day 1: Back/Biceps
1) Wide Grip Pullups - one set of 1-2 'good reps' (I can barely lift my weight WIDE; I'm much better CLOSE), followed by 3 sets of reps of...

see that's what I figured too but I wasn't sure; i was scared of the after-effects, more than anything.

After getting my stats (ie. body fat, arm measurement, weight, etc.), the personal trainer said that what I should try to aim for is a lower body fat percentage (of under 10%, currently @ 11.4%), and...

Could 3 weeks of hard work @ the gym be TOTALLY NULIFIED by a weekend or two of mad-drug consumption? picture a camping trip with the worst foods like burgers, hot dogs, chips, etc., then drinking...

I mix it up; I try to do the heaviest that I can in which case, 3 sets of (6-8)... or, if I can manage, I'll do 3 sets of (8-12)... and if u're wondering about why the 3 sets of 8-12 on heavy, its...

hi there,

given my hectic life schedule (work, drumming, girls, other bs, part-time classes, etc.), I'm essentially lucky if I can get 3 exercise workouts per body part in a week. I try to aim for...

Thanks all for the info... Really appreciate it.

hi,

sorry for sounding like a true noob here, but when it comes to the anatomical aspect of the human body, I'm somewhat in confusion...

Is there a thread already where I can find facts about...

The reason I don't like working tris on the same day as my chest is because if I bench, I won't have the energy to do dips. same with shoulders; if I bench, I won't have the energy to do military...

I'm going to try this out, thanks a lot.

Say I do cardio every morning (except on Saturdays and Sundays). Then from there, about 3 times a week later in the evening, I'll lift weights as follows:

Day 1 - Chest/Abs/Legs
Day 2 -...

so by doing 8 sets of 30 sec. of "light cardio" then 8 sets of 30 sec. of "intense cardio" (I assume alternating; ie. 30 sec. of light, then 30 sec. of intense, then 30 sec. of light, etc.), it looks...

so here's the deal;

I weight train about 3 times a week AND THAT'S ALL. The only cardio I do is my League Ice Hockey-once a week.

I'm looking into implementing some HIIT using the various...
