^^You should be doing a lot more cardio and a lot less weight lifting...
yup more cardio...i do 45 mins cardio every time i go to the gym (2 to 3 times a week)3 mins on a bike is nothing...i start out with 20 on the bike, then 10 on a rowing machinethen i do some of the weight machinesthen 15 mins on the cross trainer..i used to do the weights after but i've moved the x-trainer to the end as i'm less sweaty and tired if i do the weight machines earlieri'm kinda doin like sikotic said.. since february i've dropped 9 pounds (and average of 3 a month which apparently is around the max safe limit..) but my arms have grown bigger.. i'm leaning up thats for suremy main focus is in dropping weight. endurance and strength are a bonus..oh and my diet hasn't changed a bit
I know as soon as I'm done with classes, I'm goin on a strict diet to get more lean and gain more muscle. I'm spending all summer in the gym and running. I'm thinkin about going vegetarian until I lower my body fat too, but I love meat way too much.
It is so annoying that there are like 200 ways bumped at your head on a daily basis to lose weight, but almost never they try to tell you how to gain weight. Motherfuckers. I wanna gain weight since forever, never works. No matter how much Burgers and other fatty fast food shit I eat.
OK first of all everyone should eat 1-2 grams per bodyweight of protein unless you wanna look like a Kenyan with no muscle whatsoever. The trick is don't get all of your protein from meats. Get some from chicken, some from tuna, some from beans and other veggies,some from eggs, and the rest from whey supplementation. If you bulk up from greasy fatty food you will look like a fat slob after all said and done. Believe me eat clean no matter wht u are doing. Supplements are not bad for you that is a myth that ignorant people bring up everytime weightlifting is in question. I have talked to Doctors,Chemists,Scientists and they all have said the same thing that Whey Protein, Glutamine, Creatine, EFAs are very good for you and that they take supplements for themselves because it s the best thing for you. Granted real food is better for you but most people don't get enough shit that there body needs through regular food. The only important thing is to drink only water.and lots of it.Also get a workout plan like a split. One day Chest/Tris, Skip a day then Back/Bis, Skip a day Shoulders/Legs/Ab work. With cardio after each workout. Don't lift anymore then an hour and a half and ONE MUSCLE GROUP A WEEK OR YOU ARE OVERTRAING AND ARE BURNING MUSCLE INSTEAD OF BUILDING IT. If you workout like a crackhead and do chest everyday of the week your overtraining. You are only supposed to do 3 chest exercizes with 3 sets each on chest day. If you do more then that and don't have good protein supplementation you are fucked basically. The funny thing is 80% of the retards at the gym workout like crackheads and overtrain and thats why I am one of the biggest in there along with the other 20% that actually know what they are doing
