Any harm in drinking Red Bull (sugar free) ?

that's one of it's main benefits, appetite suppression. This is where meal replacement drinks come in handy.

That's what it's all about.  What would you estimate your bodyfat at?  Putting on mass now wouldn't hurt, especially if your diet is on point.  You should have no problem burning whatever extra BF you may have.

I'm ready for 2013 bros.  My resolution is going to be to get in this thread as much as I'm in the shoe threads.

Great motivation reading this thread on a daily basis.

Thanks bro, if I were to guess I would say 14-15% but I'm not sure if I am being hard on myself or not hard enough (pause) with that guess. I would like to get down to 9 or 10% and start upping my calories and macros.

Sorry for the late reply lol.

Honestly as long as your diet is on point as it seems yours is, you'll have no problem getting down.  Sub some of your cardio for HIIT and you'll be straight.

Wasn't into lifting yesterday so I got in a nice jumprope circuit along with some calisthenics.  Sometimes the joints just need a rest.  Only the lord knows how the hell I was able to rope the day after destroying legs.

I've been talking about it, but I think I'm finally going to start this MMA style routine.  Basically do giant sets of compound lifts with no rest to mimic boxing/MMA rounds.  Anytime I try anything like it (the 300 workout for example), it leaves me feeling good and the pump you get is insane.  Plus I want to shoot my endurance through the roof.  If I had more time I'd think about finding someplace to spar.  Really want to tailor my workouts towards athletics as opposed to simply training for mass.

I started dieting and exercising a year ago when I turned 30. I started out at 468 and my goal is to drop 200 pounds. It's been a year this past November and I'm down 130 pounds. I've learned a lot, and the main thing I've learned is diet is 90% of it all. You can't worry about calories, fat, carbs, sugars, etc. at the same time, you have to narrow it down to one or two things to avoid. I went with concentrating on not eating so much white-colored foods (white rice, pastas, sugars, flour) because those are just carbs and empty calories, and to eat clean foods as much as possible. I also hired a personal trainer who specializes in strength training (powerlifting). 

I'm gonna reach my goal before the end of summer, but my life has already changed for the better: I'm not carrying around all that weight, I'm getting stronger, I'm getting more attention from girls, I get to buy some nicer clothes. I'm new on here, but I plan on posting on this thread quite a bit.

Got 100s up 10 times for my last set of flat bench with dumbbells, felt good man. And it wasn't even that crowded.

Seated Cable Rows - 20 - 16 -12
Bent Over Row - 10 - 10 - 10
Reverse Grip Bent-Over Rows
One-Arm Dumbbell Row 10 - 10 - 10

Any advice on what I can do for a solid back and bigger biceps?

Thanks man, appreciate it. I just got tired of feeling run down and I decided it wasn't gonna get any easier as I got older.

My trainer had me start a blog to hold my self accountable and to document the process. Not sure if I'm allowed to post it, but you should check it out.

fair enough 

 

[bigboss]

Couple things. If you read my responses, I never came off as trying to be impressive at all. I actually stated that I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but that's the whole point. And I don't think anyone is "riding" me off that pic. They did what we all would do if anyone posted progress pics. Acknowledged and said to keep it up.
And I'm not tryna be defensive, but you can't really say that unless you were to see me in correct flexing positions. Also, what might not be impressive aesthetically, might be impressive when you look at my numbers and what I'm actually doing.
Again, don't want to come off as defensive but had to say that.
iLLest!

Don't worry too much about him bro, that's one of his numerous accounts he has on here so he won't be around long.

Got busy on carving these wheels up today.


heavy leg press, 600lbs+

dead-lift

walking lunges

a few sets of one leg extentions. yep I know I've advised against them in the past...but...i'm back to using them lol. After doing tons more research recently, i've concluded that they actually are ok if you A. do one leg which requires less weight. and B. don't lock out at the top of the motion. just go up about 80-85% and back down in a fluid motion. Because it's less weight, you can do this for 10-15 reps. i've been doing them and they've felt great, really hitting the quad. Oh and also, I've done them after having already done the majority of leg work, so the legs are already extremely warmed up and worked. You guys can make you're own choices on them, but I think this way is extremely productive with low risk. Try it out.

Then I finished the leg power/endurance workout with ATG kettleball squat press. It was great ending, especially since I was pretty much jelly from the waste down lol.


Then did a half hour of calf work. I hit 300 on the standing calf raise machine. That's a personal best so far. Followed that with seated calf raises superset with seated fibula raise.


IT was pretty crowded in there, a bunch of new people, and a bunch of faces I havent seen since last year around this time.. Sall good though, really my only complaint was the time it took to find a parking spot. Once I got in the gym, I zoned out. Plus since I was doing legs, most of those things go unused except by the regular members. Most new people avoid legs when they first start unless they get a trainer that makes them do it. They opt instead for the superficial workouts that work the arms and chest.
