Same here. Looks like two completely different people.

 

[sneakerking757]

I've been bulking for like a month and a half, and I'm now at 190-192.

Even though I didn't reach my goal of 200, I think I'm going to stop bulking (still debating).

I can def see the fat I put on, and I already know I'm not going to put in the cardio I need to burn it off, since I dread cardio (haven't done ANYtype since like May

).

I think I'm going to give jump roping and try and see what that does for me...

 

[airjzz]

ok to clear any credibitility issues here.....

...here is the 2nd oldestpic of my progress since March. You can see more of my face in this one..hopefully this ties the other 2 pictures together in terms of recognition.

Do it. So I don't feel like the only NTer here that actually jump rope 5x a week. Are you the same dude that I recommend the Flex Seed Oilto mix in with protein?

[xkrispyeli]

i got a weight lifting question.

I started to work out with weights (DB only) and it seems that my right biceps are not as larger as my left biceps. Why is that? Is it normal ?

yes because your muscles need to rest in order to grow and heal properly. if you're working the same muscles everyday you're not going to see muchprogress

 

[it is wat it is]

Yesterday I started my diet/workout. My goal is to be 190 by Spring break, I'm 220 now. So for breakefest yesterday I had 2 eggs, 2 beefsausage

(Probably shouldnt have hadthat), and 2 slices of wheat bread. Did cardio for 30 on the track before dinner....ran 2 laps...walked 2 laps and ran the last 2 laps. Then I had dinner whiterice and 2 chicken legs. Today I played basketball for 45 min and after that I went to hit the gym just for about 15....did they chest fly at 100 lbs 3x10 anddid abs on the machine at 100lbs 3x10. Then I had breakfest an omlete with 1 slice of american cheese, 1egg, 1 sausage and 2 slices of wheat bread. I Plan ondoing cardio later today. I just want some feedback and any help....be in mind I just started and im serious about losing wieght...any help is gretlyappreciated.

 

[airjzz]

Just remember that diet is the most IMPORTANT factor if you want to make/see physical changes to your body. Working out will always come in 2nd place.

sidenote - And my hair is straight.

 

[dgk3188]

remember that cardio is going to be your primary focus if you want to lose weight.

(Probably shouldnt have had that), and 2 slices of wheat bread. Did cardio for 30 on the track before dinner....ran 2 laps...walked 2 laps and ran the last 2 laps. Then I had dinner white rice and 2 chicken legs. Today I played basketball for 45 min and after that I went to hit the gym just for about 15....did they chest fly at 100 lbs 3x10 and did abs on the machine at 100lbs 3x10.

Losing weight starts with the diet. You're doing okay, but you should cut out almost all of your processed meats, like the sausages. Thechicken legs aren't that great either. White meat is the way to go if you want some healthy chicken. Grilled or baked, not fried.

Also, cardio should be your main focus for physical activity. Weights are fine, but I would put cardio as a higher priority.

 

[it is wat it is]

Appreciate the help will take all this in and make some serious changes.

nah this isn't true. in fact you can lose weight just on a calorie-restricted diet + weight lifting. hell with no exercise at all if you drop the cals lowenough.

lifting and HIIT should be your primary focus if you don't want to lose muscle mass.

Yeah, I agree with Joe Camel. He's trying to drop 30 pounds, not 80. If you've already learned the basics of lifting, keep it consistent and it willhelp keep your metabolism up. You should still do cardio, but endless cardio in place of weights most of the time is just a long, frustrating road tofluctuating weight.

i really need a routine and agenda. All I do is flat bench, incline, dips, cable flys, dumb bells and barbell curls.

note taken.

 

[realtalkaz]

are lightly salted peanuts ok to eat during wrk or school when i get hungry? ....and to lose weight should i watch carbs or fat intake?...thanks for all yourguys help

 

[djkaos23]

Here's my question. After I workout i drink my protein shake but i find my self being really hungry. Should i drink the shake then wait 30 mins to eat orcan I eat and drink the shake at the same time?? Just curious if i should let the shake kinda rill into my system before i start putting down food (clean mealsyes sir).

 

[nealraj006]

^ Drink the shake and then eat a meal shortly after. Protein shakes are quick absorbing. A meal is good after for all around nutrition.

 

[jch3]

Got another question for everybody.

What's the verdict on Vitamin Water. And I am specifically asking about the 10 calorie kind. Instead of HFCS, it says they use crystalline fructose. Isthat any better?

For a 20oz bottle, there's only 25 calories and 7.5 grams of sugar.

I know water is the ultimate answer but I am trying to use this as my soda substitute, something with a little flavor.

 

[mcnoodlez]

i just bought some wheat bran to throw onto my cereal or oats. is this stuff good (fiber and what not) and do you guys recommend I try something else? I'mslowly making the transition to healthier foods. Just bought some protein wheat bread, organic peanut butter, organic (HFCS free!) grape jam, light soy milk,cheese, turkey, and greek yogurt.

I'm a college student, so my selections are fairly limited. Anyone have suggestions for what else I should try buying?

Yeah, I'm def going to try it.

And yeah, that was me. I've been taking it for about 2 weeks now.
