i've been sporadic. not been able to play hoops every week and cardio is random week to week.

 

my symetry is good as far as upper lower goes but would like to drop about 5-15 lbs.

 

since i have been working this odd 4 10 hour days my timing is off. finally going to start doing cardio early Wed am's and then load up on my long wkds with other things. Bought a mountain bike over the wkd so thats going to be cool to do.

 

if i get to 180 i may just become Magic Mike.

Ok, just started working out again for the first time in over two years( job I had till end of last year was a workout in itself) and have already dropped 8 pounds in 3 weeks, my goal is to drop 20 more pounds by August so we shall see.

I used to be down around 180 for a long time, but after I quit my job last year and changed work I started putting on weight because I just wasn't as active anymore while eating the same thing and put on 25 pounds(over a year), my end goal is 170, which might be a bit too light for me. But we shall see, I stopped myself at 180 last time I dropped weight(started at 270) and could have lost more, but with my job anything under 180 was too light and needed some extra weight to throw around so I wouldn't wear myself out too much

i pretty much took the last two weeks off to dig a new garden and mulch bed.  i got plenty of work in, just not on the cables or the ropes

I'm trying to build my pull up count. Do you think there is a peak number from person to person? Ive halted at 6...again. Any tips to increase that? Other excercises that will help that number go up?

6 is pretty good Cat. How much you weigh?

I've increased mine by doing other general back exercises, esp ones that target lats like pull downs, etc.

Bent over row (close grip)

Pull down (and all it's variations)

...and I've been doing this one lately (thanks boo's bf) with the bar and a handle, really, really good.

T-bar row

(except that I use a V handle grip

Do you have wrist straps? They can relieve some of the stress on your hands/forearms and help you focus on your back.

just keep doing sets to exhaustion.  6 reps x 4 every other day or twice a week depending on your workout.   you'll see improvement fast

 

i'm having trouble with pullups now, can only do 4-6.  you can also do military press, arm raises, pushups to work that muscle group too.

 

i do pullups, arm raises, pull downs, military press and standing row to work those muscles.  right now pullups @ 180lbs is killing me the most.

  Well after a year of fuggin being my only real workout I am officially back in the gym today. Living hard is starting to catch up to me. Got signed up through some thing on my health insurance where it was no sign up fee, no contract, and I can pretty much go to almost any gym in the country at anytime for $25 a month. Really hard to pass that up.

 

   Good thing is that I really am not in bad physical shape and haven't packed on the pounds since I stopped but just don't have the muscle/stamina that I used to. Been playing a lot of racquetball in the last year so that has helped. Got my Jack3D, Protein Shakes, Testosterone Booster, Deer Antler Spray, and my Animal M Stack all in the mail this week so it's time to start lifting things up and putting them down in the gym again. Then it's time to get rid of these G*Damn cigs.

 

   Gotta admit it's been a nice break but life has settled down enough to where I have the time to devote at least 4 days a week again.

That Jack3d made me so jittery... I took that poo back.

What does the Animal M Stack do?

HELP!!!

Last January I really got in the gym with 2 guys in my apt complex. I bought my own place in August and stopped going to the gym until X-mas pounds got me feeling soggy this past year.. I joined a gym by my new house in January and have been going by myself ever since..

 

I started out at 165, then dropped to 160 (my comfortable/ideal weight)..

now i am 170 and am trying to cut out the mid-section/belly fat, love handles, etc.

 

My regiment consists of about 45 minute workout, Monday - Friday:

1 - core ab workout warmup - everymorning (leg lifts, crunches, side crunches)

2 - whatever day it is - a) legs, shoulders/tricepts, c) back/biceps, d) chest, e) cardio

3 - run/elliptical for 10-15-20 minutes

4 - shoot some hoops to cool down

 

any advice on cutting the belly fat and tone it up
