Eat less and increase cardio. you have to realize that there is no set caloric requirement. Its depends on the person. 2800 may be too much for you. Losing weight/fat is all about having balanced macros and a caloric deficit. Eat less calories and weight will come off.

Do you think he will have enough energy by just eating protein? Plus fats are responsible for hormonal control such as testosterone...wouldn't that be badly affected? Just curious. I don't think some clean carbs like oats would be harmful for him???

Thanks bro....ya that guy's form looks much better.

Hi. Whe doing a one hand dumbbell row, should you be completely motionless except for your arm? Or is a bit of rotation in the body normal? Here are two videos. YouTube - DB row 140 X 8 YouTube - 70kg dumbbell rows YouTube - home workout: dumbbell rows for lats Notice in the first and...

OK thanks! I will try it for some time and If I feel like its too much I'll reduce my workload. And same with the dips...I'm not strong enough to do weighted dips anyways. Probably start with 2 sets of 6 and then go up to 3 sets if I feel like I can.

Hey thanks man! I read through a lot of that thread and I am left with some questions. First, the poster in there started doing SS and while I would love to do that, I cannot work out three times a week. Once my schedule becomes more reasonable I wll definately try Rippetoe's program. This is...

Hey guys. For many reasons, I will only be able to work out twice a week (mon, friday) starting in a couple of weeks for about 5-6 months. I have made up a plan and i'm hoping someone could critique and comment on them. For some history, i am 20, 5'10 and about 4 months ago I was 200 lbs. Then...

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/weight-training-weight-lifting/training-information-vault-programs-exercises-articles-more-start-here-655389.html Here. I recommend Rippetoe's 3x5. I think its really great. You could also do the 5x5 or the other ones listed in there. For diet, I would say...

Out of curiosity, I would like to know why? I hear what he said quite a bit.

Thanks for the reply. By the way, I clarified something in my first post...there were some typos. I meant to say that a 40 minute routine where I alternate between walking and running every minute. So in the end it would be 20 minute of overall walking time and 20 minutes of overall running...

I work out 3 times a week and do compound lifts. Deads, squats, cleans, bench, military...you know the usual. But the other day I went for a run and it was pathetic. I could barely run for more than a few minutes and got tired. So I was thinking that some light running 2-3 times a week won't...

Hey man....you know when I started doing squats and deadlifts, I thought I was doing them right but then I realized I actually had many problems. Since you're doing Rippetoes, I recommend you buy the book Starting Strength....its great and goes into detail about these exercises and proper form...

Hey guys...so before I get to my question, I figure some history would be good. I'm 19 now and up till the age of 16, I was pretty fat. then I decided to change that but like many people, I was uninformed and decided to starve myself to lose fat. So I ended up as a "fat skinny" kid...I still...

stosstrupe basically covered it...listen to what he said. The general guidelines listed on that page are fine..but I would personally eat more carbs or else I don't have enough energy to weight lift. Just eat the healthier carbs like oats, brown rice, whole wheat.

Well if you're 210 with 10% bodyfat at 5'10, I think I can safely assume that you have a decent amount of muscle mass. I would say 3000 is too little for you. Here, this may help you out: BMR Calculator Use this...put everything in including activity level and see how many calories you need to...
