what are your goals, body type, body stats?

[speedist]

I'm an endomorph body type,broad physique similar to halfbreed without the tone. Height: 5 foot,10 inches, presently at 210lbs, want to get back down to 175lb, maybe lower(should be able to see my abs at this weight). Was aiming to kill the fat around my chest and stomach.

[sharkman121]

personally i think fully body exercises such as squats and deadlifts help you lose fat quicker than treadmills and similar cardio plus you build lean muscle at the same time. Also i think salads and fruits are a waste of time....(well not a total waste but they are overrated when it comes to losing fat for a lot of reasons).

Dont necessarily eat less, just eat properly, meaning correct ratios of protein, carbs and fats. Once you calories in is less than your calories out you'll lose weight...simple. But to monitor your macronutrient (pro, carbs, fat) intake, you can use an online site such as myfitnesspal.com.

At the end of the day once you stick to basically ANY fitness regime while eating properly and getting rest, you will lose weight and build muscle. Yes ANY fitness plan, wether it be weight training or body weight or aerobic etc. The hardest thing to do is stick at it....need to take my own advice right now though.. been slacking for too long.

[speedist]

Yep, I'm in the same boat. Was doing good at 181lbs then I started slacking bad, eating crap like kfc due to time constraint. I've managed to rediscipline myself with the exercise everyday, just have to drop the crap from my diet.

for me building is easy, my routine is
1:Legs
2:chest/back
rest
3:arms
4:shoulders
rest
(repeat)

exactly in that order, makes no difference what day of the week it is.
i start off with 30mins cardio (hard run or stepper 300+ calories) and do around 10-12 different exercises on each day, reps to failure. start with compounds first then to isolation exercises.
i try to up the weight by min 10% every rep for 3-4 reps, i try not to rest between reps, i'll just start another exercise, so i'm doing 2 sets with no rest, then i would rest after 8 sets.
i end with a 10min run or some abs.
i try to mix it up sometimes, starting on failure sets and ending on lighter weights. its good to keep the muscles confused.
like i said this worked for me, might not for anyone else.

imho, there comes a time when your metabolism skyrockets and it burns any and everything you eat, the trick is to get to that point, working hard and often gets you there. for example i'm losing weight everyday now no matter what i eat, but my portions are small, but i'm not counting calories.

breakfast: 2 eggs with cottage cheese or a protein shake with a banana.
lunch: anything but must have protein and vege
dinner: anything but must have protein

this is true but most ppl dont work hard enough for this to happen..and if not, no metabolic rate achieved can out burn a bad diet.


But as i said, and as unlikely as it may sound, any workout program if adhered to long enough coupled with proper diet and recovery would yield good results.

[Halfbreed07]

Well it boils down to output and input. If your eat less calories than you are burning off you will lose weight. Add some protein and resistance voila you're adding some muscle. This is the foundation of any 'get in shape routine' nothing magical about it as some noobs and smartmen trainers make it out to be.
Btw I ask a trainer to spot me a set of bench press and the man screw he face yes, what was he doing prior? Standing in a corner. I find trainers real gone through these days, if you not paying them for personal attention they won't even spit on you.
I tired see men doing shat in the gym and them trainers just watch them and walk by, not even trying to impart simple training form.

Someone told me P90X works wonders if you cut out the rice, bread and eating after 7pm.
Anyone had exp with it?

[Halfbreed07]

why not eat after 7pm bro?

[Norton12005]

You should eat when your hungry, but eat smart to achieve your goals.....

[Halfbreed07]

nah, eat to feed ya body, not satisfy ya hunger, eating on time all the time with a regular workout routine is what you have to do

[jeevdude199]

Hit my personal best in deadlift 105 woohoo brb cant move just crawling atm

[speedist]

Weighed in last week wednesday at 207lbs. Week before I was apparently 201lbs, my diet was salad, fish, fruits, I did cheat one day that week(chinese food). All that can't be muscle, body seem to be holding whatever I eat too long.

[ruffneck_12]

Lol k kool could u piont me in a direction to start eating properly.... like ah diet sheet or smth ?

lots of ground provisions
if you eating meat, try not to eat too much fat
lots of greens, beans and fruits an ting
try to cut out over processed stuff like sausages and bread if possible

[15devils]

So im fasting and basically losing all my gains everyday.Tried working out after but difficult to workout after drinking no water whole day,getting alot of cramps and strength is very low.thinking bout using creatine to kinda keep some size during this month ? Allyuh thoughts ? Use it or doesnt make sense ?

[ruffneck_12]

think you have to eat plenty food and drink rel water with creatine LOL
so nah, doh take it

choose one, either fast, or keep your gains.
The choice is yours.

[15devils]

Lol..yea thought so..imma religious guy so i would have to fast..it'll also be a nice thing to reset my body..guess loosing gains is part of it.

water weight. Why does your diet sound so lacking and boring?

[speedist]

^^lol. Sounds that way because it is. Could use a few pointers on a daily diet though.
