yeah, and eat as much as you want man, just make sure its clean.
Thank God for this thread cos' i need some help on how to start a free weights program. I've been at a gym for three months now, sticking only to 45 mins of cardio, three times a week, and it's time to start building up my upper body and abdominal strength. Thing is I have no idea where to start and don't want to look like a complete retard in there.
Thanks in advance.
My wife just gave birth to our baby girl last week, so ive been eating all the junk my wife wanted, which isnt very clean. Im talking taco bell at midnight, burger king at breakfast very unhealthy ****e. But for the last few days its been good eating, salads,fish,steak,steam vegetables.
my favorite is half a pound of lean ground beef mixed with one cup of whole wheat pasta...
this routine is a no bs way to mass up fast.. i'm not even a full month into it and im seeing good results. i'm excited about what the next two months will bring. don't over do the cardio.. as i said, hiit will burn fat and preserve muscle as to long distance and excessive running/jogging. i do hiit once or twice a week and it's more than enough, and my body's ****e to gaining fat easily.

Depends on what you want to do, if you just want to drop the weight the quickest way would be to run, run a lot. Also there are some supplements out there that I know some people swear by that helped them out when they needed to drop weight. But also like has been said a good diet is key.
Even though it may seem gay, those big exercise balls are great to work on your abs, you get a better range of motion then just normal sit ups. Also those sit up benches that can be angled are great. Grab a 25lb weight and do sit ups on those inclined benches. The ball is a great way to shape your abs and the inclined bench is a great way to build ab strength. Also if you can, grab a bar and stick it in the corner of the gym, put a couple plates on the side thats facing out of the corner. Then pick it up and hold it to your chest, then rotate your body and the weight to the right, then center then left then center. This works your obliques real well. I hope that made sense.
any advice/info on 'runners knee' for the benefit of all the runners on this thread+how to deal with dogs if confronted by em while running????
I used to have problems with my patella tendons, I wore patella tendon braces for a while and the problem eventually went away. When I had the pain though was when I wasn't in the best of shape, as soon as I got my fitness level back to where it was supposed to be they were fine.
It's always good to remember that tendons and ligaments dont react the same to exercise as muscles do. Thats why some people run too much too quick because their muscles feel fine for the first bit, but after a few weeks their tendons and ligaments strain at a different rate and then that causes inflamation and all kinds of painful stuff.
Same as when uneducated guys who take gear or pro hormones develop major muscle groups really fast but their small stabalizing muscles, tendons and ligaments don't adapt the same. This can cause injury and crazy muscle and body imbalances.
Letting your body adapt to a well designed, all-inclusive, and consistent program will help minimize things like patellar strain, shin splints, that really anoying pain under the elbow etc... I know all about it, I have battled crazy patellar strain several times from trail running.
X2.......Thats the best way for sure. That is actually the remedy for a lot of things it seems.
This running thing is still kicking my ass. I'm getting better, but slowly. My 2-mile leg for the run in a few weeks just got changed to a 4-mile leg. *gulp*
On the upside, I finally fit back into my old size 1 jeans.
question for the people who use crosfit, do they have circuits or routines or is it just individual exercises?
thanks
