Incorrect. I know everything.

[Savage]

I did this thing on the internet & it said I have 18% bodyfat but I know it's incorrect because of the fact that last year I had 21% bodyfat & then it went down & since I haven't been eating a lot of junk food, it has to be even lower than that. I'd say at least around 15% now.
What internet thing?

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, seriously. What do you do, hold your mouse while it takes the reading? Haha

Jaw clenches. Anytime you're about to put some variation of fast food into your mouth, just clench your jaw and deny it entry.

I did jump rope for about 20 minutes yesterday and today I went to gym since my teacher wasn't there & got some good cardio in by running around. I'm going to do some more jump roping (at least 15-20) minutes & then I'll do my work out. That should burn a lot of calories.

I'm joining a rock climbing gym this weekend and I'm so damn excited. I hope it does wonders for my upper body strength; especially back and biceps. The only problem is where to squeeze it in during the week. It could always just be a weekend thing.

If I get my skills up, maybe one day I can make the 400ft climb up to Devil's mountain treehouse :D

I love rock climbing. Great for grip strength. Learn to use your legs as much as you can, though. You'll quickly burn out for the day if you try to do it all with upper body.

jag

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, def planning to use the ol' legs as much as possible

[jaguarr]

Well have fun with it. We have a couple of rock climbing gyms here that pretty much specialize in only that. I haven't been able to go for awhile because I've been having some problems with my carpal tunnel syndrome, plus it is hard to make time to do it when you're pounding the weights all week and torch your grip doing that. :D

Chest/tri workout today. It was pretty good, along with my running workout. I try to run at least 5 days a week, often 6, and lift at least 4 days a week. I think it's a pretty good combo for the kindof physique I'm going for, and I'm almost there, but I need A LOT of ab work. Here's my goal, and don't laugh:

http://www.popculturebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/ryan.jpg


My workouts are designed to up my strength, speed, and endurance, but I also like to be ripped, of course. I don't want to be absolutely huge, but Reynold's physique is similar to what I'm going for.

I came up on some Master Kush, and it's making me feel amped. Im going to do an intense chest workout, followed by an hour in the pool. Last night I worked on legs.....


1.) Smith Press Leg Squats, 5 sets 10 reps (I maxed out at 385)
2.) Hack Squat machine 5 sets 10 reps
3.) Leg curls 5 sets 10 reps
4.) Leg extensions 5 sets 10 reps

[mrvlknight21]

Yeah, really. Just anything that causes you to sweat a lot will do the job after the 20 or 30 minute mark.

Lets not forget the "afterburn" effect of high intensity work for shorter periods of time (like sprints for example). What I call classic cardio is something like running for 20-30 minutes, during which time you burn calories for that period of time and fat burning begins typically after about the first 20 minutes. But, with high intensity work, you burn less calories immediately, and stoke the calorie furnace that is your body for up to 24 hours, which can yield much greater results.
I personally use both methods and try to keep it interesting.

[Dangerous]

I started eating Weider's crash weight gain (strawberry) daily to see what happens when I combine it with my new increased weight lifting regime. Never taken any supplements before, so it should be pretty interesting.

I'm doing gym x3 weekly plus weights at home around 2-3 times a week, basically on the none gym days. I'm not really looking to get cut, just add a little bulk, tho there is very little fat on my person right now.

Last Friday I was working out on a shoulder exersize with one of the gym rats at my local and we were talking supplements and he told me I had a good physique and that I should pop a few steroids, I said no. I had to laugh, I heard story's that when you start going to the gym loads guys would come up to you and start talking roids.

The fact remains, for a 14-year-old kid, there's nothing better than running around a few days a week if you're not already involved in an organized sport of some kind. Yes, it's cold and unsafe to run around in his neighborhood, but getting involved in a sport or activity that involves running, or finding a place to run with friends or family, is much more beneficial than doing burpees in your basement.

Training is an environment with 3 times gravity would most likely halt all of your internal functions. I don't see how that would be fun.

Actually that kind of training would just break you down. I mean ignoring the whole "your internal functions are only work under certain conditions" thing, your muscles would need time to recovery. People train in weighed clothes, like on DBZ, I've worn 80+ lb clothing items before while doing certain forms of training. However, I take them off at some point. Being in intense gravity for as long as they were, well they'd need to take a break after about an hour of that.

Well I mean i dont know if I could even do an hour of that type of training, a work out at that level would be amazing if you were given the proper rest though, I would imagine.

[The Joker_1000]

It's just not possible, bro. If we ever get that strong, it'll be a long time from now before we actually reach that kind of strength.

Btw, yesterday I believe I ate over 2200 calories & I actually felt like I did a good work out. I did cardio before hitting the weights. In fact, I think that from now on I'll do about 20 minutes of cardio before actually lifting the weights so that I can burn more calories & get even better results.

[Dangerous]

As you are aware, cardio is the best way to burn fat. If that is a concern.

A couple thoughts, youngblood. First, for your age, size and goals 2200 calories per day should be a minimum. It's possible you've been undereating. Second thought, limit your pre-lifting cardio to ~10-15 minutes for warmup. When you lift you want maximum access to your glucogen stores so you can push the most weight with perfect form and thereby realize greater muscle development. If you're burning through your glucogen stores before you even get to your lifting, you won't be able to do that. Do your 20 minutes of cardio AFTER you lift. You''ll get the benefit of being at or near the end of your glucogen stores from the lifting which means that 20 minutes of cardio will move right into burning off fat. Don't exceed 20 minutes, though, as you'll quickly move into burning up muscle tissue for fuel. The body stays anabolic during a workout for roughly 60-75 minutes, though you can extend it to about 90 minutes through the use of some good BCAA's. But you will hit a point where the body turns catabolic and starts eating muscle tissue for fuel because it's a very readily available and easily burned fuel.

I don't know if this is correct or not but right now I'm thinking that the main reason why I wasn't getting any results while eating a bunch of junk food was because I was eating too much of it in one day & I expected to work it all off in that one day but I was actually adding on more days it'd take to work it off. I'm still not going to be going crazy eating junk food but I think that if I can control the intake & not go past 300-400 calories a day eating junk food, I will progress much faster. Sound good to you?

If you eat junk food every day it will effect your results negatively, even if it's in small amounts. That's why most people just reserve a cheat meal once a week to satisfy their cravings and then continue to eat clean and healthy the rest of the time. So, it's really up to you; how fast do you want to reach your goals? If you're going to eat junk food, at least do so accepting that it will hold you back from reaching your full potential and recognize that you're willing to sacrifice some progress for balance between your virtues and your vices.

I agree, when I was 14, I played football or basketball every freaking day. I dont know if he is involved in sports or not, hopefully so.
But, if he isnt involved in and has no desire to be involved in a sport, burpees are a great conditioner. He asked for something besides the jump rope and said he cant/shouldnt run, so I offered burpees.

F k u c Roids, the true science of strength is in the mind. You are on the right track with the protein, and in my experience whey protein taken within minutes of a work-out is very effective. If you are really gangster, I would stockpile on canned Salmon. At 7 servings a can it will give you 12 grams of protein per serving. 7 x 12 = 84 grams of fish protein chock full of omega 3's for that lean comic book physique! I eat a whole can of it after I work out.

Anyway, had a blast last night. Got to 24 at 12 midnight, started with an ab warm up routine, followed by 20 sets of incline press for an hour, followed by an hour of doing laps in the pool. Someone posted that Ryan Reynolds pic, and thats the lean look Im going for too. Im tired as all heck now.

And your body probably absorbs about half of that. No matter how much protien you absorb, and you should get a lot, you should remember your body will probably not be able to take in more than about 40 grams in one sitting.

I'd vary up that set rep scheme a tad. Also I wouldn't work out for 2+ hours straight, unless you plan on taking roids, and then I'd still advise against it. If you can't get what you need out of an hour of lifting tops, you're not training intensely enough. Three, maybe four sets, two at maximum intensity tops is all you need to get a really good pump on. Twenty is just overdoing it.

You shouldn't. When you finish a workout, your muscles are completely depleted, broken down and starving for nutrients (preferably nitrogen rich proteins) and your body has burned through it's glucogen stores and is starting to go catabolic and burn your muscle tissue for fuel. You need a fast acting protein to offset this and feed the muscles, beginning the healing process as quickly as possible (because when you lift, it basically tears and breaks down the muscle fibers, which then heal themselves and get bigger as a result). That's why a fast absorbing protein like whey in shake form is essential within 10-15 minutes after you finish a workout. Before a workout, I like to get a normal meal a couple of hours before lifting and then a whey shake about 15-20 minutes before I lift to give my muscles nitrogen-rich protein in a readily bioavailable form before they even "know" that they need it from the damage I'm about to inflict on them via heavy training.

Speaking of heavy training, had an absolutely outstanding legs/shoulders workout today after work. :up:

yea, but I used very little weight, my system is I go heavy with less reps, then 3 days later when my chest is healed, I blast it with a cardio incline to build strenght. I woke up fatigued but I feel fine. The goal for the day was to lose pounds.

And your body probably absorbs about half of that. No matter how much protien you absorb, and you should get a lot, you should remember your body will probably not be able to take in more than about 40 grams in one sitting.

Three, maybe four sets, two at maximum intensity tops is all you need to get a really good pump on. Twenty is just overdoing it.

I hear you, I don't know where I found this source but I was tryng to mix cardio on the same day as lifting. The source said if you must combine cardio on the same day as lifting take a protein supp in between. My reasoning was that after a routine the body will devour muscle if you don't eat. I took it easy betweeen the routines, and I tottally felt fine with it. This isnt somethig I plan to do every day, ehh just every other day. If I sense that I am exhausted, of course Im going to stop and take it easy. Well, after my lift session, I took a protein shake, and rested for 15 minutes. Then I hit the pool for an hour.

so why should you eat a can of tuna after your work out? why not before?


Hmmm, at camp my friend ate a whole thing of spread. (YUCK!) Right before a lifting session. Poor guy I warned him, but yea we worked out, pretty intensely, but later on he was vomiting. It takes energy for your body to absorb food.


Heres something to ponder; why are all the strongest animals herbivores?

Hmmm, hard to tell really, I have coupled this intake of weight gain with an increased exersize regime.

I look a little bit more toned, a little more shaped, but I'd say it's pretty negligible at this stage.

My body type is slim, minimal fat, athletic build, about 150lbs.
The guys in the gym say after 4 weeks I'll put half a stone on.

My aim is to just add a little bulk.

Track your diet in fitday.com for a month. I'll bet you are undereating (and probably getting the wrong macronutrient breakdown of protein/complex carbs/good fats) and don't even know it. There is NOTHING more anabolic (i.e. growth inducing) than real food.

Not sure how old you are The Joker_1000 but I'm going to give you this advice and suggest you take it.

Whatever you do, do not beat up on the girls. This will bring down sooo much **** on you that it will be a short lived revenge.

As for the guy that hit you...have at him if you feel it's neccessary.

[Superman79]

In all seriousness though, I'm just going to beat his ass. I know exactly who hit me & when I see him on the streets it's a free ass whooping for him.

And his 30 friends?? :huh:

And in all seriousness, be careful as assault and battery are not good resume builders for college.

The shouldn't have put their hands on me, female or not. As for the guy, he doesn't go to my school but I'll see him eventually and I'm going to make sure everybody sees his blood.

I haven't taken home leftovers in years haha. I always get jealous when the g/f eats her leftovers and I'm left w/ nothing but the memory of the meal I inhaled hours before.

I :heart: food

You wouldn't get jealous if you wouldn't inhale food until you're uncomfortably full :o AND you end up eating half my leftovers most of the time anyways lol.

That is no excuse, no self respecting man should ever touch a woman unless she's coming at him with a butcher knife. You go after these girls you WILL be labeled as a cowardly, sniveling, p***y...by everyone who hears about it. Mark my words.

Additionally, lets not forget that with that kind of action, the cops WILL be involved and you will be royally f***ed.

Yeah, see that's where he ****ed up. I would have poked those girls in the eyes or something while they were whoopin my ass. If you wait too long, you're a betch; but if you do it at the moment, it's self defense :o

Not only was that the same intent I had in my post for telling him not to go after the girls but also, because of those reasons The Joker_1000 is going to have to grow eyes in the back of his head for quite a long time.

The Joker_1000, you beat up girls, their friends or even family are going to be hunting your ass down.

According to Colossal Spoons you look like Reptile so hopefully you can just go invisible.:woot:

[AndThePickles]

B/c you offer. I'd never ask for it, that'd be greedy :o

I offer because I know you want some lol. You don't fool me with you "No, I don't want any's" either, because I can practically see you drooling while I eat haha. :heart:


As for Joker- if a girl physically strikes him, she deserves to be hit back. None of this "I don't hit girls" ********...if she doesn't wanna get hit, she shouldn't have gotten physical in the first place. However, I agree that he should have done it at the TIME. Now it'll be weird :csad:

[Colossal Spoons]

Unless.......he launches a sneak attack and flees quickly before they see that it was him :ninja:

[The Joker_1000]

And his 30 friends?? :huh:

And in all seriousness, be careful as assault and battery are not good resume builders for college.


No, just him. I can beat about three people or a little more but 30 people is too damn much.

We haven't touched on the possibility of these girls beating him up, when he tries to jump them. It doesn't seem far out of reach...

But I agree, planning to fight a girl, for whatever reason, is just plain stupid and wrong.

[The Joker_1000]

I've thought it over, I won't do it but still, I can't wait to find the person who hit me somewhere.

Faaaaaantastic leg/shoulder workout this evening.

Lol if I didn't give it to you I'd just save it for later. I don't have space in my tummy.

[ObakeTora]

I know, the messed up part is I feel like it was all my fault that he got jumped as I called him on my cell phone as I got up to the school and he said he wanted to meet me there. As they were jumping him, I was trying to attempt to break it up & I got rushed. Before I could do anything, I already got hit. Trust me, this city aint big and once I get my equipment and catch him on the streets, its automatically over. I know some of them girls that jumped in too, I'll get them on the last day of school.


F k uing animals man! Why in the hell would they do that!!!??????:cmad:

[The Joker_1000]

I don't know, they tried to do it to one of my friends who was with three other people & the other boys all lost. All of our friends weren't around or tried to stop it & it didn't work.

[ObakeTora]

yea, well if you ask me those guys are *****es. I wish I lived there Id go looking for them. They probably think they are such bigshots because it took more then 1 of them to beat up one person.

[Dangerous]

I'm loving my new routine, today is free weights at home day.

Get to work.

[The Joker_1000]

I haven't even did a work outs, I might do one today, it depends on how I feel.

[Colossal Spoons]

Legs are some kinda sore today :up:

[The Joker_1000]

I need to make up for the work out I missed yesterday so I may try to do two work outs in one today which won't be too bad.

[jaguarr]

slowly but surely.
(thanks for changing the subject)!

Cool. Keep at it. It takes time to get your form down if you're really not used to them. So many people have learned how to only do partial squats that it feels almost unnatural for some to go all the way down.

Legs are some kinda sore today :up:

Did you try some X-Reps? :twisted:

Back and bi's for me later today and then 7-10 days off from the iron to just let my body catch up with me. :up:

jag

[The Joker_1000]

Is it cool if I combine two work outs to make up for missing one?

[jaguarr]

Is it cool if I combine two work outs to make up for missing one?

Do the one you missed. Do the one you were scheduled for today after a day of rest (so, Saturday). You've basically changed your workout schedule days by missing a workout. Now you'll be on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday with your lifting.

My lats are killing me...big back workout emphasizing good old fashioned pull-ups.

Wide grip, shoulder width, and narrow...followed by about 10-15 reps of negatives ...good stuff :D :up:

I did 10 sit ups and 10 push ups today. How much longer before I'm buff?

For lunch I had a burger, fries with a shake and then a cake afterwards.

was it a chocolate cake and a chocolate shake?? If so you're in trouble, if they were vanilla you'll be ok...vanilla has less calories.

What age would be right for someone to begin sculpting there body into all that it can be? My brother is 11 and i know he is to young but he wants to know when he can start lifting cause he watches me in the basement. I told him that he can start at 15, would the be accurate and healthy?

[Super Kal]

it is extremely, EXTREMELY difficult to get any exercise done with my work schedule :csad:

Usually 14 is an okay time to more seriously start training. At 11, if your brother wants to use very light weights and start learning proper form on lifts, that should be okay, though. Just nothing real heavy for him.

I only missed one work out with weights & two for cardio. I guess later today I'll make up the missed weight work out & then do the cardio work outs.

It's funny. Working 8 hours a day only makes me more motivated to go to the gym b/c I know I have less time to get it done. After gollege, I SWORE to myself that I wasn't gonna be like most of my friends and America who slowly stop going to the gym b/c "work gets in the way". **** that! Do work before or after....work!

I've had to move all my comic reading to Saturdays and I post less in the evenings but I think those are more than fair changes to make in exchange for the physique of my dreams.

And not just that, getting up for work so early means I can eat more and more often during the day. I've met my body weight in grams of protein everyday since starting my job :up:

Tell your brother to take up gymnastics. By the time he's 15 he'll be jacked, and probably 3 or 4 times stronger than you. :woot:

I know you guys get stupid love handle questions constantly, but I'm running out of options, so here's my deal:

I've been working out for three days a week since July. Around September-ish I added running to the routine. Here's basically my schedule.
Mon- Gym
Tues- Run
Wed-Gym
Thurs-Run
Fri-Gym
Sat-Run
Sun-Rest
I've lost 60 lbs overall (250 to 190 lbs) which I should be happy about, but my hips. They look like they're as wide as my chest! I can't tell if it's truly love handles or not, because they're mostly firm like muscle. I have a little layer of fat over them, but I don't know if losing that will change the shape. So, my question is do I just have to accept this? Is there anyway to change it?

[Mario_Galaxy]

good job dude, did you also change the way you eat?
Yep. I add whey to my smoothies when I go to Smoothie King, take wheat bread over white for sandwiches, and try to stay away from high carbs for dinner (which my mom hates, lol all she makes is pasta.) That's my diet in a nutshell. Oh and I drink nothing but water now.

[Savage]

Well the day in general sucked from the beginning but just sticking to the gym stuff I hurt my shoulder doing incline flyes and had to leave a bit early (and by early I mean at 40 minutes instead of an hour :p). Got a good enough workout but man did that bug me through the second half and it got to the point where I just had to leave altogether.

What sucks is I come and the house is bare of anything but...yellow rice, apple jacks, milk, crackers, and slices of cheese (these kids are like garbage disposals). Ended up ordering a pizza full of meat for my protein because the supermarkets are closed and I highly doubt that there are any butcher shops that deliver. ^_0

Did have some pasta for lunch today so there's a positive. I just really need to get some protein shakes. I doubt the kids will be downing those.

I know I just have wide hips. There's some fat on top of them, but when I poke at 'em; the bone is only about half an inch in. You could just have a wider bone structure.

[Mario_Galaxy]

Hmm I just read something about making your upper body bigger so that the hips look smaller. If I was to do that, would I have to gain back weight?

[Colossal Spoons]

Well yeah. If your upper body gets bigger, it'll be b/c of added mass.
