GOS when i saw u in the mall at first i didnt recognize you because you did get noticeably smaller.

Keep it up bruh, its an awesome feeling.

I wish i had the dedication like you, for me its a work in progress.
I have not been serious with gym and eating properly for the month of January and i put on some blubber.


From my own personal journey-
When you accustomed to being fat, and then lose the fat, you seriously feel reborn. You feel like a completely different person.

You can now do things you cant/wouldnt normally do.

I felt the same way when I realised I could do 10+ pull ups andn15+ dips. Never in my life was I ever able to do that before and after 3 months if gym and diet I was able to.

^^^ Glad you missed it, don't ever buy plastic / concrete weight as they dont last.

[AllTrac]

why yuh beating up? dat bench worth $400 at most.

[Conrad]

Leave that for the new year resolutioners konartis.

You could make something better with a little welding skills. Besides, is bench you gonna bench right through and how much resistance you're gonna get with that setup?

Home cardio = jump rope and shuttle runs. If you want something more low impact you'll need a machine or as AllTrac said.
Seriously should consider lifting weights instead of just cardio to lose the weight.

[INHUMAN]

God helps those who helps themselves...if de man dont wanna take the onus and do sum googling or heed our advice n lift weights etc then i dunno what he expect. I heard there's a magic pill u can take though...

what i used to do, get some insanity video to push u hard, so it wudnt be soo boring, but as long as you are motivated, u will stick to it

[konartis]

I get where you're coming from. Just think, you're a beast already and down the road how many plastic weights and 1" bars you'll be destroying.

My home setup is complete enough that I can leave out the commercial gym completely. I'm also realising some unforseen benefits, gyming at home allows me to squat/deadlift barefoot. It wasn't cheap at all though.

I smile every time I'm squatting at home.

I need more room though.


Perhaps you can get a barbell/weight setup just for deadlifts, rows, power cleans and floor press.
PriceSmart had a half decent deal for $2,600 that I think snatman had linked earlier.

That's where weights come in, it brings a whole other playing field to compete on (with yourself) and it's not time pressured (unless you're in a crowded gym as konartis mentioned).

The biggest benefit is you'll retain/add muscle mass instead of just seeing a lower number on the scale. Don't be afraid to go heavier (compete against what you know you can lift). "Trainers" at the gym tend to make you do a set of unnecessary reps and work on machines. Barbell is your friend, get to know her.
Your clothes fit good now but they'll fit even better as they'll have a frame to rest on instead of a skeleton with a surface of skin and fat.
You'll develop a love for pushing to the limit instead of just seeing a lower number on a machine (scale).
Don't worry about "getting too big", that's hard as firetruck and men who want to get like that take years.

If I'm going for the athletic aesthetic (footballer), what routine you'd recommend or supplementing (if necessary) I weigh 130lbs and wouldn't mind staying at that weight and just drop the body fat percentage, replace the body fat with muscle?

[AllTrac]

Gos why dont you join a gym then if its boring and you are unmotivated when you are by yourself.

[X_Factor]

but honestly, gyming alone at home does get boring after a while eh
you start of really strong and determined but after say 2 mths it gets a bit boring

Muscle is denser than fat, so staying the same weight will have you looking skinnier.

[konartis]

well to tell u the truth, i tink it raises ur carves to give that ball look, you know carves is a must have and is hardest to get..lol, a few guys always ask me how i got it so, never really shared the secret..lol

[konartis]

a few posts earlier i read that ALTRAC used coffee to fight cravings, i tried that all week and it really works, i must say i never thought that it can take ur mind off food and cravings to eat alot, half spoon instant coffee with a half spoon sugar, 10 oz cup, works wonders!
