Stay/Get Back In Shape.... Vol 2.0

[luckyluchiano]

Man this low carb stuff sucks. I gotta have rice.

Diet wise, I should be good if I just cut out fried food, sweets, and soda/juice right? Only drink water and all my foods baked/grilled.

what do yall do for cardio?? just wondering..

 

[denni5themenace]

how much does your chest strength (bench press dumbbell/barbell) depend on your shoulder strength (ability to military press)?

i feel like i've plateaued on my bench and i've done things like switch up workouts and exercises and to no avail. could this be attributed to weak shoulder strength? (i've also been eating less as i've been working more for busy season, i know this can also attribute to lack of strength)

You do need shoulders a lot, but a strong back and lats will help a great amount as well

Word? When do you usually go? I hate going around 5-8 pm because it gets packed.And I used to hoop there all the time but I haven't really played since I had ankle arthroscopic surgery in June.

lifting weights period contributes to fat loss.

try super-setting exercises together - 60 sec rest periods in between each set.

keeps your heart rate up. 

DIET = fat loss, no other way around it. 




this thread has great info, please stop asking, and read back on pages, most likely your answer is already here.

its like going into a sneaker thread, and asking the release date. gets redundant.

Yo, okay i've been going pretty hard since Feb. Put on near 15 pounds of muscle.
Past two days I was supposed to be in the gym but I took them to sleep and be lazy and have had my first incomplete, unsatisfied week in awhile.

I feel like complete *!!!

Think you could beat the system by using that voucher on something else, then returning that product at another GNC and using the store credit on what you want? Or does GNC not embrace returns?

Realistically, that might help, although you prob arent feelin that right now. A few days off an give your muscles some much needed rest, depending on how your recovery after workouts is timed.

and ^ JRS coming through with the ingenuity

 

[ricerocket1]

^^^ nah it's good to take some time off, I did a 4 days off for the first time since I started lifting. Feelsgoodman. Jpg

 

[throwback1718]

I honestly cant read through all 800+ pages of this... but for gaining weight, what typical meals do you guys eat? I've been doing research and I see that 6 meals a day is typical. but when the hell do you guys have time to eat 6 meals throughout the day?

a small snack obviously doesn't count. how and when do you guys find time for these meals? and what do you eat? I'm trying to gain 15 muscle pounds by next june. And I want to start now. I have a naturally great build. but I just want to expand on it. so help me!

 

[thejrob]

I know this might be a lot to ask, but I wanted to start lifting and don't really know which exercises would be best.

I'm a pretty small guy and not trying to get huge or anything, just trying to make sure it looks like I work out and am strong, so mostly arms, chest, etc...

If it's possible could someone just give me a small and easy routine that would cover some important exercises and possibly explain how exactly to do each one if it's not completely obvious (I've been in a gym and worked out a million times, just don't really know if I'm ever doing the right stuff)

thanks in advance

You dont really need to worry about how many meals you eat and when you eat them and all that stuff. You just need to hit your caloric, protein and fat goals really.

They all suck. Drink a shake or eat a meal, or both.
