    Stopped eating hotdogs and cut back on soda and french fries, and I've went from 190 to 158.

    I like playing this eyetoy game on the ps2 designed for exercise too occasionally, gets me sweating a little bit and its fun. Was playing some tennis too for a while and been meaning to get back to doing that some more.

    @ the guy at the gym this evening that was parked on my favorite ab machine and wouldn't get the off.


    But on the bright side, they got a bunch of new ET's that are pretty brutal.

    Alot of people waste their time using machines (leg extension, hamstring curls, etc..) which leads to weak legs. Much faster results and stronger legs come from free weights such as squats, deadlifts, lunges, etc..
    do squats, dead-lifts, stiff legged dead lifts, good mornings, overhead squats, lunges, glute ham raises, power cleans, etc...

    i don't do leg press, leg extensions, and leg curls anymore. i don't think they are effective and don't appear to provide any functional strength. furthermore, leg press is very hard on my knees and doesn't translate anything whatsoever to squats. not a big fan of machines...

    Leg curls, extensions, and presses are used for defintion/finesse. If you want ripped legs then do those.

    i'd probably agree, but if they don't help you at all athletically, which is all i care about, i don't see the point. if you do those exercises don't do a lot of weight and perform a controlled motion.

    I don't know if they've got them in SA, but SFIE and I go to Sound Fitness. They are smaller franchises, only in a few states. One time enrollment fee, month to month contract, cancellation with 30 days notice, and only $19.99 a month - for me. I added SFIE on for $12.99. It's no frills - cardio and weights, and options for personal training packages; no classes (except the occasional 'here's how to correctly use the machines in case the pictures are too hard for you dumb s to figure out). We've been in two (we switched to one closer to our house and conveniently located on the way home from work).

    We've gone every day this week, and that's the plan from this point on - go every weekday on the way home from work. I'm trying to work up to an hour of cardio a day and strength training twice a week (I do yoga on the weekends and will swim in the summer whenever the pool is clean). SFIE is going to lose some weight and work on strength and toning.

    Remembering healthy and nutritious eating is important too, don't forget. I joined WW and have lost 7 pounds since October, and my diet is a lot better overall.

    You're stationed at Goodfellow? I did a lot of work there with the 315th, 317th, and 312th (I think those were the numbers, I forget) several years ago. Are you an airman at tech school fresh out of basic?

    Me too. But only for a year. And I've never had any problems with over crowding or people hogging equipment. Overall I've enjoyed my golds membership.

    Getting/staying in shape is all about your state of mind. In early October I went on the scale and realized I was a chubby 219 lbs (at 5'11''). I reduced my calorie intake to 1,500 a day and gradually built up an exercise routine that consists of cardio, various pushup regimens, ab work, free weights for curls/tricep extensions/lat work, and resistance training. As of January 4th I am down to 191 lbs with a 1 1/2 inch gain in the biceps and chest. The only thing left is a little bit of love handles that take a while to get rid of.
    Yeah same here. Since I've become a "label reader". Thats done a lot more for me then any diet. Except I keep my calorie intake at around 2,500 a day.

    I've been running for 20-30 minutes then going into the weight room to do as many pullups as I can overhanded, underhanded, side handed

    I just don't get a good back burn on anything else like a good pullup
    Except maybe rows, but i never feel the entire back working with those.

    after the pullups i put minimal weight for high reps on a lat pull down thingie
    i don't know if i'm doing anything right or wrong but I can certainly do more pullups now

    His workout is old. Now the training looks diferently and more efficient.
    Well talking about efficiency - it's an idyvidual as everybody can provide his routine which will be good for him. Just have fun.

    I'm working out many years and realy had not much fun of that. Just being brutal to my body with accually close to zero results in shape (talking about typical weight lifting in the gym).
    Latelly I'm working on having fun of that all, but realy never found a reciept for it. I'm too much into giving max! That is not as good as I thought before. Althougn without that adreanaline and sweat I'm dead.

    I really didn't understand most of that, but Arnold's routine is crazy and , I would be suprised if somebody did his workout, even if they did half of everything (sets and reps).

    That's how they trained in 70s
    There were gus that were doing 2 four hour sessions a day. 6 days a week.


    btw. what is not to understand in my pure dictionary english ?


    I havent found a way to have fun from workout. And my advise for everybody is HAVE FUN and find your own training rutine, no matter what it will be.


    Excample - Dorian Yates - his workout was not about hours spent in the gym it was about intensse and 'muscle collapse' and he was a elite bodybuilder

    Yeah and that's how you get proven results. Here's Arnold's routine when he was younger:
    Mon, Wed, Fri
    Chest:
    Bench press - 5 sets, 6-10 reps
    Flat bench flies - 5 sets, 6-10 reps
    Incline bench press - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Cable crossovers - 6 sets, 10-12 reps
    Dips - 5 sets, to failure
    Dumbbell pullovers - 5 sets, 10-12 reps

    Back:
    Front wide-grip chin-ups - 6 sets, to failure
    T-bar rows - 5 sets, 6-10 reps
    Seated pulley rows - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    One-arm dumbbell rows - 5 sets, 6-10 reps
    Straight-leg deadlifts - 6 sets, 15 reps

    Legs:
    Squats - 6 sets, 8-12 reps
    Leg presses - 6 sets, 8-12 reps
    Leg extensions - 6 sets, 12-15 reps
    Leg curls - 6 sets, 10-12 reps
    Barbell lunges - 5 sets, 15 reps

    Calves:
    Standing calf raises -10 sets, 10 reps
    Seated calf raises - 8 sets, 15 reps
    One-legged calf raises (holding dumbbells) - 6 sets,12 reps

    Forearms:
    Wrist curls (forearms on knees) - 4 sets, 10 reps
    Reverse barbell curls - 4 sets, 8 reps
    Wright roller machine - to failure

    Abs:
    Nonstop instinct training for 30 minutes

    Tues, Thurs, Sat
    Biceps:
    Barbell curls - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Seated dumbbell curls - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Dumbbell concentration curls - 6 sets, 6-10 reps

    Triceps:
    Close-grip bench presses (for the all three heads) - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Pushdowns (exterior head) - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Barbell French presses (interior head) - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    One-arm dumbbell triceps extensions (exterior head) - 6 sets, 6-10 reps

    Shoulders:
    Seated barbell presses - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Lateral raises (standing) - 6 sets, 6-10 reps
    Rear-delt lateral raises - 5 sets, 6-10 reps
    Cable lateral raises - 5 sets, 10-12 reps

    Calves and Forearms:
    Same as Monday, Wednesday and Friday

    Abs:
    Same as Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

    Only problem with this is that your muscles wouldn't be able to handle all this w/o steriods, but the outline of this routine is pure gold and all you need to do is adjust the sets/reps.

    I just naturally like lifting, it was one of my favorite parts during the off season for Basketball and it just stuck with me. I think it's fun breaking/attaining personal records and getting stronger.

    Two 4-hour sessions, six days a week is madness. And, I suspect, worse than modern routines designed with a better understand of the physiology of muscle repair and building.

    Anything more than an hour of weight lifting will lead to over training.

    What about upper body?
    Same goes for upper body. Free weights are always more productive. (db rows, db bench press, db shoulder press, and the mother of upper body strength building......pull ups).

    Another tip for weight training is to use compund excercises (excercises that use mutliple muscles) rather than isolation excercises. This goes especially for beginners to intermediate weght lifters.(0 - 2 yrs exp.)ex. pull ups >>>>>> bicep curls. Bench press >>>>> db flys.. lunges>>>>>>>>> hamstring curls. Just to name a few. Leave the Iso bull to professional bodybuilders. You will also save alot of unneccasary time at the gym.
