Question, how do you get rid of moobs? what are your stats? height/weight/age? do you drink alcohol frequently? and if so how much? alcohol can contribute to higher estrogen levels and low testosterone, which over time could build fattie tissue in the pecs. it's also probably about your genetics as well. i'd generally suggest a routine that includes both some moderate weight training to help increase the chest's muscularity and then a definite high round of cardio. diet is going to be the major turning points in this though, your sugar/fats intake and overall calories hafta be considered. ------------------------------------------- as for myself, i've been really low on sleep for a few weeks now. lots of factors for that but i'm trying to turn that around. if i can get a proper nights sleep tonight i'll be hitting the gym tomorrow for backs/biceps. going to start including swimming in my routine again as well. |

I'm 5'10, 230, and 19 tomorrow. I have never drank a day in my life. okay, cool. that's cool that you're becoming interested in possibly starting some fitness training at such a young age, you're already ahead of the curb a bit. i'm just going to write openly here so that i can give you the best possible advice. i'm not a doctor, physical trainer, or anything more than a guy that's just been quite interested in fitness/bodybuilding and studied/researched the topic to a good degree in the last few years. from the sound of it you're an endomorph:  essentially someone who is naturally a larger guy, probably with a pretty wide shoulder and hip span. based on this, i'd say from what i've seen that the thing you would benefit from the most would be beginning power training (squats, deadpresses) and then working on your diet and cardio. the reason i say doing some power training is that endomorph's are commonly GREAT at it as they're already large guys. and being a large guy, you naturally have a good amount of strength to you. *just make sure to do proper research on how to correctly do squats and deadlifts, as they are dangerous when done incorrectly and could seriously damage the spine*. i also suggest power training because people often 'fall in love' with it, and if you were to develop an interest in it at 19, there is a high chance that throughout your life you'll keep at it to some degree and therefore remain at a good level of fitness. bone strength, vitality, reduction of risk of cancers and other ailments, there are a ton of benefits to long term power lifting. a lot of information, i know! i just wanted to give you some good advice that would actually really help you if you chose to follow it. let me know if you need help on anything about it or anything else and GOOD LUCK! i very much encourage you to get active and you won't regret it. |

Like 4 days without soda. No room outside to workout due to the snow and no gym. Start out doing push ups and sit ups during commercial breaks when you watch tv. Seriously. 1st commercial break, do as many push ups as you can, even if it's only 2. Take a breather, try 2 more, etc, til the commercials are over. 2nd commercial break, do the same with sit ups. Alternate between the 2. Eventually you'll find other moves to do, but this is a good way to start. |

I always love seeing these threads because aside from wrestling, fitness is my true passion, I've never been over weight but I was pretty skinny as a kid. I always told myself that when I grow up I'm going to put on some muscle and once I was old enough to join a gym, I was dedicated. Started at 170lbs. Today I sit around 235lbs. I don't consider myself a guru by any means but I'm definitely knowledgable on most aspects of fitness and nutrition. I've helped quite a few people over the years and actually some of them were personal trainers themselves. I'd be glad to help anyone here if you feel like asking anything.

Haven't updated in awhile. Over the last few months I'm definitely noticing some more definition in my arms chest and back. Problem is I'm allergic to dairy. My face broke out and I've read up on some dairy acne theories. Tried cutting dairy out for 3 weeks, and what do you know my face cleared up a lot. Currently still weight lifting but have given up on my bulk. Doing some more runs and core work since it is nice out, and getting in better cardiovascular shape because I may go be going into the police academy this summer.

Got Nike Roshe today. They fit great. Starting to go to the gym later this week. Thank God, you can finally get a decent workout going now... I reckon I like your name a mighty lot. I've been working out again. My weight dipped to 105, which is extremely low for my height (5'9"ish) even though I possess a lean/athletic build. I have appetite issues, so packing on weight was the first priority. My BMI is somewhere around 19.2 or something now, after it was 17.6 a few months ago (I think). I a pretty nice upper-body going. I'm not one for crunches very often due to an ulcer down there... but I try to do whatever I can- usually squats w/ some form of free-weight involved- or sometimes a yoga ball and I'll balance on that for abdominal exercises or to build strength down there. My belly is flat as can be, and pretty firm. I once upon a time hard abs coming in, but stopped working out due to health issues (in a nutshell: drug addiction) and just simply lost all of the muuscle mass I had once had, literally watching it "melt" off of me over a 2-3 yr span. I was heavy before getting into shape, too. 250lb heavy. But I dropped all of that- healthily so- and managed to get my weight down to 135=140ish around ages 19-21. By 21 I was 125lbs and 5'8/5'9" as I am now (pushing 30). I figured it wouldn't hurt to start working out again. Cardio, for me anyway, comes from drumming. It is a hell of a workout if I just practice simple things. Strengthens my wrists and forearms. One of my acoustic guitars has difficult "action" which also causes the need to press down on the fretboard harder than with most acoustic guitars, so it also requires more strength and strain, and in itself is a bit of a workout if I am careful and don't strain my hand in the process. It helps build wrist and forearm strength in my forearms and wrists similar to drumming, minus the cardio effect... I also like to bike. Running, I have issues. Fatigue is my big problem I'm about 120-125 and 5'9" now and in pretty good shape as far as body fat- none whatsoever really. My BMI is in the 'normal' range, even if I want to add a little weight. I have been trying to eat more and put on some pounds....more carbs than usual, even sweets like brownies and stuff just to pack on some weight because I really do have an extremely speedy metabolism.... It makes gaining muscle mass and RETAINING muscle mass difficult. It's funny because just earlier tonight I came across some photos of from when I was mid-diet, and transition from about '08-'11 where I went from 250-260lb to 220ish, and then lost a lot after working out nonstop one summer after rehab May '09, and lost over 100lb that summer on my own. All while kind of sculpting myself along the way. I need to eat much better or just MORE in general if I don't want to be a twig. I realize my body size is small, and my muscle tone is more of a "ripped" than "buff" look just due to my body type/size. But I'm OK with that. I have a pitcher's frame. Lanky, big calves, arms are in good shape. etc. But I would like to start taking working out much more seriously this year, especially once I can bike again. Fatigue sucks. As I get closer to 30, and I deal with my own health issues not even related or stemming from my junkie past, I'm trying to get back into shape more than ever (shoot, 30 is the new 20...best start now, and I still get carded all of the time). For now I just do 15-20lb free weights, and generally a routine of exercises I've done for years- pitcher drills I used to work on, but they're what I know best. And your typical upper-body isolation etc. I have a Welder bench but it isn't accessible right now. I may sell it actually. Hard to find a place to put it to use these days. At my best, I could press about ...eh...with a spotter, 180 maybe. I wish I could say 200 but can't remember for sure. My brother (6'2", 185lb and much more muscular than my scrawny self-he got the big genes...) could do 265-270 or max out at that at his peak, but I think he has slimmed down a bit. He's in a golf school- plays at par too. Wish I had his athleticism sometimes... but I'll take my noggin' just fine. (Even if it's only clever sometimes, and not always that wise.) I can't wait til it warms up though, not to repeat myself. But it will be nice to bike again. Cardio is nice and a nice release. Drumming when I get the opportunity as a small form of cardio barely gets it out for me, but it sure is helpful for just getting the blood flowing pre-weight lifting workouts.... |

Can someone help me with calculating BMI? Weight (kg) divided by Height² (m) Example: Myself - Weight 71kg , Height 1.77m 71/1.77² = 22.6 Anything between 20-25 is considered healthy, anything above or below is considered under or overweight. While generally a good indicator, it doesn't take body fat/muscle into account. so you could have 2 guys both the same height and weight but have totally different physiques and still have the same BMI. Hope this helps |

Since I started posting in the old thread, I've changed a lot. When I first started, my maximum deadlift was 40kg, but now I can deadlift 105kg. My maximum pulldown was 30, now I can pull down 75. I started doing the bent over two arm long bar row last month and just reached 70kg yesterday. I've gained a good deal of muscle, my arms are bigger, my chest is bigger, and my lats are finally starting to grow. I'm going to try and focus on trimming my stomach soon, since while the rest of my body is making progress, I still have somewhat of a gut, which is a result of my (admittedly poor) diet. After Wrestlemania weekend, I'm starting a new diet and looking to lose the weight. I don't want to be huge, and I'm near enough comfortable with my current muscle mass, but I'm still aiming to get bigger. If I could get into similar shape to, say, Trevor Lee, I'd be happy.  |
