Lifting Weights

[Preti9cboi]

Anyone have a good workout routine? I'm trying to get into shape. I'm thinking i need to lose somewhere aorund 10-15 pounds.



I'm 182 pounds and 5'7 tall. I just recently got pretty big. I need to cut back on what i've been eating.

I do sit ups and pushups every night. I also smoke cigs and eat whatever I goddamn please. BTW, I'm 5'8" 145.

Lift weights != lose weight.

I'm looking for something a bit more detailed. What do you workout on mondays? I was thinking Chest and Triceps, about three exercises for each in sets of 3. And about 50 mins of bicycling a day for 5 days a week.

1. Walk to fridge.
2. Open door.
3. Grab beer.
4. Close door.
5. Sit down.
6. Drink beer.

8-12 reps.

If you want to lose weight, stop eating, or start running. Lifting weights will reduce your body fat, but increase muscle, which weighs more than fat. In turn, you will gain weight.

For example, I weighed 185 freshman year, ive been lifting since, as a senior i weigh 260. Put on some fat, mostly muscle...personally i like being big, so i prefer to stay this weight. Also grew a few inches in that time i think, ~5'9" to 5'11" i think.

ive lost 75 pounds now...this is my routine (6 days a week)

mon - legs
tuesday - 30-45 min cardio
wednesday - shoulders/tri/bicepts
thursday - 30-45 min cardio
friday - back
saturday - 30-45min cardio/bleechers/track

Everyday I do weight lifting it is with low weight and sets of 12-15 or like push ups im at 30 now. I also do 10-15 min warm up on the treadmill.

I do a similar workout, however I finish it off with 2 sets of eyebrow extensions.

If you watch what you eat, eat 6 times a day, and lift weights, you don't need cardio. (Cardio is still great at burning extra calories though, and for getting in shape and building endurance for sports) Weight lifting is also a cardio workout, if you push yourself.

Here is my (current, always changing) workout:
BB=Barbell, DB=Dumbell, 3x10 = 3 sets of 10 reps

Chest & Tris Monday:
BB Bench Press 5x8
BB Incline Bench Press 4x8
DB Flye 4x10
Hammer Strength Machine Decline Press 4x10
BB Close Grip Bench Press 4x10
Cable Tri Press Down 4x10
Dips 3x10

Back & Bis Tuesday:
Pullups 4x10 (palms out, wide grip, no assistance, these take practice)
T-Bar Row 4x10
Bent Over DB Row 4x10
Reverse DB Flye 4x10
BB Curl 4x10
DB Hammer Curl 4x10
DB Inner Thigh Isolation Curl 3x10
BB Wrist / Forearm Curl SuperSet 4x10ea

Wednesday:
Watch TV

Legs Thursday:
BB Front Squat 4x10
BB Squat 4x10
Leg Press (45º Incline) 4x10
Straight Leg Deadlift 4x10
Leg Extension 4x10
Lying Leg Curl 4x10
Donkey Raise Calves 4x10

Shoulders Friday:
DB Seated Shoulder Press 5x10
BB Upright Row 4x10
DB Incline Shrug / Shoulder Blade Pinch 4x10
Cable Side Raise 4x10
DB Front Raise 4x10
+Random Stomach Stuff

Now that we have the workout covered (30%), you need to learn what a Diet is (the other 70%).

Good Luck.

Hi

I have been to your site and its highly impressive, i have lost close to 55-60 pounds myself, doing just cardio , during the weight loss i lost lot of muscle too so even thogh i am reasonably skinny i have some lazy fat. can you tell me more about your diet routine, i typically eat twice a day (no breakfast) and dont eat meat (i am a vegetarian). i have started some weight training recently (mild), i am trying to figure out what a good diet would be for me

You are going to have one messed up metabolism if it isn't already messed up by such little food, especially if you burn excess calories with exercise. Every pound of lost muscle equates to a lowered metabolic rate. When you start eating "normally" your metabolism will still be low and you will pile on the bodyfat so fast your head will spin Sister. If you want to lose bodyfat, you need to eat small meals at least 4-5 times/day.

I do beerbells.

Do cardio 5 days a week for about 30-45min a day and watch what you eat. You'll lose your weight in no time.
