Getting into shape/losing weight

[Libri]

go on,.......

If you want to gain muscle with the least amount of fat, do a clean bulk.

Try adding some Vitamin C with Rose Hip if you're a vitamin taker. It helped me with my sore hips. I complain about it all the time in this thread, but the Rose Hips are like natural advil and are great.

i will keep that in mind and i was reading when you had the hip thing. thats when i was down due to ac ies but didnt want to bug the thread even though i was looking for help. basically my research said to just rest it so thats what i did. first time i ran after healed, i beat my best mile time by 21 seconds

congrats man, when i told my buddy i was going down to 175 he laughed.

When I got serious about it, I really meant it.

What weight are you aiming for?

Oh no, throw out any problems you have. I think we've all learned tons from this thread. Or at least I have. And stretching. Pre-run stretching has really helped me. Maybe some leg lifts and squat type things would help with the achillies.

thank you for your help. if you know what youre talking about then let me say, i cant and dont want to get too big. i been training mma (mostly boxing due to its superior cardio) all year and my end game is to be in compe ions. boxing, catch wrestling, american jitz ect. so now that you know im going for a fighters body, what would you recommend?

I'm running for about 45 minutes with a 5 minute cool down (so a 12 minute pace).

well as much of a novice at all this as i am, i was going for 175. now im below with just a little more fat to burn so i'd say my new goal before bulk is 165

I think most mma fighters train for strength. You could add compound exercises to your routine. You will gain strength and some size.

thank you. i have a good stretch for it now. it looks goofy as but i walk around the house doing it all the time. i hope it doesnt strike again

strength is on the list but more important would be, explosiveness, endurance, cardio, flexibilty ect
the results i have gotten so far are from-
working the heavy bag ( which id say im pretty darn good at now)
speed bag (pretty good at that too)
focus mitts with a buddy (that will just grind you down if youre finishing your rounds)
jumprope
free weights (all different kinds of i can make up to keep it freash)
and then on opposite days, running as many miles as i can

i need to get my lats to stop hiding behind my chest. if i bring elbows together they are there, but if not theyre too much on my back

i dont think you were

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I just started doing 100 hindu squats after my rides recently. That is brutal but keeps my legs feeling fresh after. Been trying to incorporate more body weight exercises into my routine.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

thanks for the input from everybody. i hope i can contribute to the thread somehow. but i cant wait any longer for today's, time to do work

Want to get back to 6% body fat.

Good luck with that.

If you really benched 600 pounds, you should probably get into power lifting, since the world record for 220 ponder is 580 pounds.

[florige]

Good for you! It's so great to know/see changes. I found a pair of jeans I threw in a pile of junk about a year ago because I wasn't able to fit in them....put 'em on and now they're too big. I still have about 10 more pounds to go before I get to where you are, but I can feel it getting closer!

No way you are 180ish?

[florige]

hey florige you want to fight and see how bad you are without your gun and badge?

Nah if you can bench 600lbs I will pass.

[florige]

i just got outta la penta a couple of years ago homie, some of your boy partners busted a and i'm still out for vengeance. i'd like to take that anger out on a pig like yourself.

I think Ed Helicopter is a state trooper. Take it out on him.

[ashbeeigh]

Florige doesn't even watch scary movies like The exorcism of Emily Rose. They make him cry.

[ashbeeigh]

What?! I said I still have 10 pounds to get to my goal weight, silly. I've never said my weight.

[florige]

so you're not one of those cops who thinks he's a hardass just because of the badge?

Far from it. Mostly the newbees are like that.

earlier this year i was at 196. today i weigh 172.(for reference, im 6' barefoot) i figure in 2-3 more weeks ill be at my bottom weight. then ill start putting on muscle. not that im not adding alot of muscle now, ill just turn most of my focus from cardio/conditioning to muscle gain. yall know what i mean. it feels so good to do what im doing

You're doing it the hard way if you want muscle mass. Start weight training now and eat 6-8 small meals per day consisting of 40% complex carbs 40% protein and 20% healthy fats and you will lose fat faster while gaining muscle mass.
