GoldenDelicious said:working out at the hotel gym just...isnt working out. i jugglhe heaviest weight in the house, im fucking bored stupid, im losing size, im losing stamina, and its overall a disaster. to make matters worse, some nitwit was drinking in the fucking pool and now the bastard super has locked it after 10 30pm, which is severely affecting my late night smooching sessions in the fucking sauna, and they arent processing my letter of complaint (read: death threats) fast enough

habitualhealth said:I'm training for the npc eastern seaboard figure comp in may. I'm doing 45 min cardio sessions 6 days a week and lifting (split bod parts) 5 night a week. Since I have mini me at night and her studies are critical (she's gotta be a genuis like me when she grows up) I've been doing my cardio on my lunch break at work every day so I can get in the gym, lift, squat til i puke then jet home.
I've feelin' really good about where I'm at right now so in 8 weeks I should be good to go.
QUARTER TURN TO THE RIGHT BEYOTCH!

biteme said:Been working out over 28 years now. I just recently hit 220 lbs., my highest weight ever at 5'9". I'm still gaining muscle mass and I'm going on 43 years of age. I work out each bodypart less than 1 time a week. I focus very well. I have no idea why I continue to gain mass except that I eat a lot and have a very good cook. I'll give the credit to God. I can't believe I've attained this much mass from how skinny I was as a kid.

Just gotta keep pluggin away at my diet and I have recently increased cardio by including a spin class once to twice a week. Thinking about also getting into more classes...maybe the gutbuster class

I so need to get me a trainer!! But the one at my gym, well....not so sure about him..used him twice and he didn't prove to be very helpful.

KillahBee said:Honestly, you have a WEALTH of knowledge and experience here at EF that makes ANY trainer seem useless (even though that is not hard to do...). Read, read, read, search, read, ask, read more and then do.

nefertiti said:Things are, for the most part going well - in the gym six days a week with zero motivational issues. In fact I have to force myself to take that seventh day off. But my quest for the perfect butt is more difficult than anticipated. I find myself relying on my quads for almost every exercise designed to - at least in part - work the glutes and I feel like nothing is getting done no matter how much I try and "concentrate" on isolating/using my glutes. I learned how to squat recently (please don't laugh), but I am too much of a wimp to try and use the rack at the gym in the midst of all the beefcakes three times my size lifting hundreds of pounds. I know it's ridiculous, but I can be shy even if I could get past the embarrassment over the weight I'd be lifting, the idea of doing an exercise that involves thrusting my heiny out in the middle of all that testosterone makes me blush. I just need to suck it up and get over it.
Damn dude, thats what I call starting slow and easy.KillahBee said:Before I even dared try deadlifting in the gym I used a broom at home in front of a mirror. There was no shame in that or what you are experiencing.

ksharp01 said:I soooo know what you mean...I was always intemidated to use the squat machine and some others because they are in the back with all the big boys...no women ever go back there!! It is aggravating. I do go back there when fiesty and here beau go...still am such a weakling in comparison to most.
Very happy with my legs, that (and my boobs) are my best features.
<------wants J-Lo booty but right now...more like typical white girl...flat pancake...lol
nefertiti said:We're soul sisters on this one. I have what I used to not-so-fondly refer to as "ballerina flat ass," and my legs are easily the best bodily feature.
I also call that part of the gym the "big boy" area, and I've observed long enough to know that there is only one regular female who goes back there and she's some 40 something leather face who goes back and does...crunches? on the bench press benches while flirting with guys younger than me.
my strength is doing awsome and increasing once i backed off a bit, but im fat, and need to do steroidsKillahBee said:Give me a progress report/status update. What is current split, what are your goals, what is lagging, what is looking good, what do you need help with, etc, etc.

jnevin said:I've lost close to 15% BF in the last 7 months, so now I'm working mostly on core, ROM, and flexibility. When it gets warmer out, I'll do track workouts twice a week. I'm in the gym 5 days per week, and work one body part out twice a week. So, chest & bi's, back & tri's, legs, shoulders, then chest & bi's. The next week back would be twice, etc. I've lost the fat, now I want to feel fit again.
Here's a before & after, I'm leaner now though.

cmdubs said:My workouts are pretty basic now.
3 workouts a week hitting each bodypart once focusing on progression of weights. Each workout only lasts around 40 minutes.
I wasted 2 years searching for the "magic program."
Turns out all I needed to do was focus on getting stronger and eat more.
Who new?
Stick to workout out, you are guaranteed more results than in your social life.healother said:i worked out hard for 1 week, and now im in a slump, and dont wanna spend my weeknights at the gym. ive discovered its tough to make myself go to the gym and only be there for half an hour. when i go there i get obsessed, but then my evening is gone. yay.
yes, it was very very hotnefertiti said:Smoochathons in the sauna are hot.
Well, I spoke too soon about motivational issues. It's snowing, I haven't gotten more than three hours of sleep each of the last three nights, and I am seriously dragging ass right now. I basically have one of two choices - keep with my schedule and pass out in the middle of my date on Friday night, or take tonight or Thursday off and go to sleep early. Poor guy is going to be in for some shitty company, I guess.
same hereThe Shadow said:..out of the gym for about a month due to work, not enough sleep, etc
Fat as f*ck.

The irony is at your age and with your lack of social skills you will get more friends/girls if you simply get in shape than if you try and get girls without getting in shape. So just get a badass body.healother said:i dont want to die a lonely man.
rather be fat and have friends than be in shape and be lonely.
