Damn I got fat. :sad: Gotta start seriously hitting the gym again.:wgrin:
I wanna see some progress pics.
What happened? I remember you used to post in this thread every day and hit the gym hard.
Girlfriend, and new job. Crazy hours. Eventually just stopped going to the gym for about a year. Stopped dieting. Gained about 30lbs.:shake:
Thatās all you needed to say. =(
Thatās alright. Its never too late to get back into it.
workout with your gf. problem solved (at least for me).
Or live the life of a bachelor!
what that happended to you when you got a girlfriend??? bahahahha:wink:
ive seen this shit happen to everyone, when they get a gf they completely forget about what they look like or de emphasize the importance of other activities they doā¦

tell me about it. my last 1.75 year relationship i went from 150 to 195. all fat gains. after we broke up was only when i noticed how horrible i looked. tap my stomach and it would jiggle for like 3 seconds.
that was like 2 years ago. then i ran 2.5-5 miles a day and weight trained 3-4x a week and i got down to 145 then gained muscle up to 165. the ending of a dysfunctional relationship is damn good motivation haha
I need 9 hours of sleep and my new class times are giving me a hard time. I get home late with 30 min to 1 hour before I need to be sleeping. What are some quick filling dinners, that I can eat then jump in bed and sleep?
Try to stay away from running on flat ground and running inclines. What works even better is running stairs. Trust me if you push hard enough day after day youāll be in great shape and itāll force your legs to get strongerā¦
And also when running stairs to get more of a burn mix up different methods, like using one leg and switching, and crossing your legs ups when going up stairs.

- Is there still a consensus on the three main workout things? (Deadlift, squat, bench press.)
- Is there a particular order to do these things?
- What should I do after having done these three things?
- If I did these things on a daily basis, would that be detrimental?
I guess those would be considered the big 3 but I think pull ups are probably more important than dead lift. A lot of people donāt do full body splits but if I were to do it Iād do squat, bench press and then deadlift because squat and deadlifts have some over lap so to get the most out of your lift bench presses would give you a nice buffer to give those muscles involved in both exercises time to properly rest so they donāt fatigue before other muscles. Canned routines are pretty crappy, you should take the time to do some research and come up with something that suits your goals. Here are a couple of links that are helpful for people starting out or trying to come up with their own routine:

If youāre serious you should take the time to read those articles. Also you definitely donāt want to work the same muscles every day. When you lift weights you are actually destroying the muscle and the rest days allow your muscles to heal stronger than before.
Also hereās a nice little site with exercises listed by muscle group:

Well im about to go on vacation in a couple of monthsā¦I want to lose maybe 25 to 30lbsā¦Can someone recommend me a workout programā¦
I have the following
Treadmill
Dumbbells
Exercise machine
I want to get toned not bigā¦
Oh yeah, i was planning to buy that perfect pushupā¦Are those any good? Which one is the best one to get?
They might be, but I wouldnāt waste the money. Just do regular pushups.
The best thing to do is one day out the week, prepare all your dinners (I do lunches). So you can just pop them in the microwave whenever.
Iām all about free weights and cardio outside. And I doubt youād get ābigā if you were to start weight training.
wtf is an āexercise machineā hahahhaā¦

People say you should only lose like 2 lbs a week at most yet if I stick to my diet and exercising I lose around a lb a day. Is that healthy? Im not starving myself by any means
