ITT: I post my weight.

Re: ITT: I post my weight.

I went on a 3.5 hour hike with my dog today. I think he is hurting as much as I am right now, but it was great fun. Doing it again on Tuesday, but I'm really not expecting weight loss this week unless I really step it up this weekend. We'll see.

If you're going for weight loss, get your diet in check rather than exercising for hours on end...

500 calories under maintenance + some cardio = guaranteed weight loss

Re: ITT: I post my weight.

today i did 1 set of 130 reps, 1 set of 14 followed by 100 reps and finishd of with 1 set of 12

3 sets of 12 is nice but 12 sets of 3 reps followed by 5 sets of 5 and 6000 calories is even better

Re: ITT: I post my weight.

last year - 5'9, 225lbs, 25% body fat
last month - 5'9, 155lbs, 10% body fat

45m-1h cardio five or six times a week + a rather small calorie deficit (200-300 per day) makes a huge difference and is a relatively easy practice to maintain for a few months. never did weight training much until about 3 months ago, when I picked up a pretty intense regimen and built a lot of muscle; unfortunately (sort of) I'm studying abroad through may and a gym membership for three months here is something like 250E, so i'm pretty much stuck with jogging and doing a lot of easy home workouts - which are actually in themselves perfectly effective for maintenance and building up core muscle groups.

best of luck with your weight loss goal, it's not quite as dramatic as mine was but just in principle it's never easy. those last vanity pounds can really be the hardest to shed off (still want to drop ~5 myself, but even getting that motivated is tricky at this point lol)

Wow you've really lost that much since I last saw you? That's actually pretty incredible, good job.

Re: ITT: I post my weight.

The 12-15 reps range is true if you want to do body building. Body building is basically having muscles to be good looking, it's not necessarily functional strength. Of course you will get stronger but not as much as if you were training for strength. If you want to gain strength, the best thing to do is 5 sets of 5 reps. This seems easy but the thing is you have to always increase the weight. Add 5 pounds every time you workout. If you can't complete 5x5, keep the same weight next time. I'm 5'7, 160 lbs and people are always amazed when I squat 270 lbs below parallel. I wouldn't be able to do that for 15 reps though.

Strength training: More strength, muscles not as big as body building.
Body building: Bigger muscles, but usually weaker than strength training.


Basically this means that a body builder with 17 inches biceps would be weaker than a strength trainer with same size biceps. This is generally speaking, some body builders are indeed very strong.

If you want to gain weight, don't just train your chest, biceps and triceps. Legs, glutes (ass muscle) lats, and all the back muscles are incredibly strong. If you train these muscles, not only will you get strong and big, but this will also correct your posture.


Oh and women should workout too. You won't get big and ugly, you won't lose your boobs, you will only be stronger, healthier and your skin will look tighter.

126 here
goal: 140

also tips wouldn't hurt, seeing as how I eat fatty stuff everyday without working out

this has helped me; eating every 2 hours (supplement shakes not included). Also, lifting for hypertrophy works very good.

Edit: i am 153 now

Re: ITT: I post my weight.

i just lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks by studying hardcore... but then again i have a lot of weight to lose.

Re: ITT: I post my weight.

6'2 265. ("You're shorter than I thought." "well, I..I...shut up!")


BMI is bullshit, if you go to a site. The only thing that's really legit is the shit where they pinch you/measure you etc. A man who's rock solid muscle would be "fat" according to it, and they need to figure out a new measure.

I've been running my ass off, doing interval training and working at my job. Gonna start weight lifting again when I hit 250 or so because I always bulk up when I do that.
