I woke up this am (or early afternoon to be exact) and went to the makeshift gym in my complex (only treadmills, elipticals, etc...). I tried to do my routine of 3x25 of pushups and fell short and the same for my ab work. I'm thinking its one of two reasons. One, I was on an empty stomach...

Alright, I just got back from the Yankee game. They won. All is good, well, almost all is good. Before the game I tried a new workout: (I'm only going to show the working sets) Squats 135x5 (I definitely feel I could have done much more, I was doing 200 on the hack squat machine). DB Bench...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. To further give you (or anyone reading this) an idea as to what I am doing: 1. I DO eat veggies. At least once or twice a week. Yes, I know its not enough, but before it was once or twice a month, if that. 2. Ok, I will give them another shot. I thought I...

First, I want to congratulate you on your success. Keep it up. The progress you have made is tremendous. I am in a similar boat as you. I am trying to lose body fat and put on mass as well. I have one of those BF% scales, and according to that I am in around 22%. Too high for my liking. I'm...

If I am only doing cardio and body weight training, should I consume the same level of calories that I would on days when I lift? Currently I do a fully body workout M,W,F Squats Bench Back Shoulders Triceps Biceps Every month I change the excerise for each body part except the squats. On Tu...

I guess it would be smart to mention that my goal is to bulk up and cut my bdoy fat down. I have a scale that says I am around 22%. How accurate are those things anyway?
