Wow, I lost track of this website. Well, a year later I'm at 237lbs and 26% (from an Omron handheld unit). Pretty pathetic at barely 2.5lbs a month, but it adds up slowly lol. When I stick to it 100% I lose about 1.5-2.5lbs/week... I did strain left rotator back at the end of February just before bi...

Last night I did 20min of HIIT style cardio and worked abs. I felt kind of off and this morning I woke up with a cold (from nieces birthday most likely- kids are so germ ridden haha).

Today I went XC mountain biking instead of the gym. Total pedal-time was probably about an hour and definitely varied in intensity. It felt great to get out in nature again. I even came pretty close to a doe on one trail before it galloped off.

Shakes are better mixed with Water. Just a thought :). You're right :lol: I tried shake today with roughly 12-14oz of ice cold water (vs the 8oz of milk) and added a 1/3 scoop more whey to make up for the protein loss of the milk. It tastes whey better, haha. Also, how do you take your glutamine? I...

IMO, most trainers are like that. They're like car salesman, if you take a test drive and don't buy they act like whiny children. Forget them.

You can learn everything you need to know about eating and weight training online for free. Bodybuilding.com has tons of videos on lifts and proper form.

Woke up this morning feeling like crap. Yesterday the pain in knee came back full throttle. I have a feelings its because I ended up running to car while at the gym the other day. The Hard impact on knee must have given it a rough time. I have it propped up right now. Going to take some Ibu. in a f...

I meant the EZ curl bar that accepts the standard Olympic (holed) plates, so I guess just an EZ curl bar.

Just to clarify, I worked:

Lats - June 3th
Chest - June 4th
Bi's & Tris - June 5th

I'm resting today, but I'll be starting the diet tomorrow and hitting the lats again.

Also, does anyone know the average weight of the Olympic EZ curl bar? Or do they vary a bit?

I want to be the bad guy, but your routine looks horrible and are you only doing 1 set for each muscle? Your diet looks okay , but your first meal should be egg whites or a whey protein shake to counter the overnight fast (you might want some high GI carbs before the protein intake to spike your ins...

Thanks for the tips Boss Man. I don't think I can ditch the caffeine pre-workout though lol. Yes, I've been reading about tuna and mercury so I guess I'll cut back on it. I don't think I can afford fresh fish everyday...what about canned salmon? local Costco has "Atlantic Salmon" though it...

goal is to get down to 170bs at about 12% while improving overall fitness level. I currently weigh 270lbs. and based on a variety of online calculators I would guesstimate at around 35-40%. I worked out 5-6x a week for nearly 2 months while only dropping 5lbs. I'm sure I had some quick beginner mus...
