Post your diet too bro, that is crucial. Spelling is better than most. :)

thanks for the complement on my spelling :)
im kined of in transition from my old basick cerket to a newer more complex program which is why i nevr reposted my the new list. however tomaro is the first day on that new program so i will post what hapins whith that tomaro.
as for the diet, right now its vary basick. ive almost compleatly elimanated junk food from my life (e.g. soda, chips, fast food, exet.) but as far as mesuring calerys and carbs that has been vary lose. althow i hope to keep a more acuret reading in the near futer. i dont know enuf about newtrition at the moment to start randomly cuting carbs and stuff now, (i dont want to screw myself over by ealimantating to much of somthing that is nesasary) but as i learn more i will adaped my program and diet.

Ia am working whith a trainer now once a week. he has introducing a new program for me, we dint have a lot of time to realy get in to it due to a crazy mix up on my part (make up test after school held me up). but this is what we maneged to do in the short time we had.

aren't you trying to lose weight? why do you do so much dead lift? also what do you mean 45-55-65? the barbell weighs 45
-
yes i am still trying to lose wate but i have been working whith a traner and he has put me on the above program. i trust he knows what he is doing. as for the way in which i wrote it out yes it is vary confusing even to me lol. im not quite shure how to wright it out clearly so i kined of take a stab at it. as for the wate yes it is light but my trainer did not want to stress me out just yet. (or so he said) plus the dead lift was mor or less a wormup mor thean an actuel exersise.
-
is that the workout that you do each time you go to the gym? it's not bad actually but there's no leg stuff or tricep stuff. also the only thing you are doing for chest is cables. i guess if you're just starting that's okay because a lot of people who just started training can't feel their chest properly when they do presses and with cables you can definately learn to flex your chest. keep the trainer for a while but not too long. most trainers honestly don't know nothing. the books they study to get their certification are really pussy. for example ACE is one of the most respected certifications and the info is totally wrong. it says people need 12 percent protein and there is next to nothing about exercise in the books. they even use the food pyramid! most everything in the books is biology and fancy words so they can show off and say i know all this fancy crap; i'm a trainer. they also have a lot of contradictory information and a lot of them use that gay ball to lay on. that workout you got is not bad.
-
I don't think deadlift is bad if you are trying to lose FAT. It will increase muscle but not BF%.
-

I don't think he was saying deadlifts were bad, just why do three different exerises of them and no other leg work...interesting plan...but maybe it is a 2 or 3 day split progam which would make more sense. There is no tricep, calves, quads, shoulders and barely any chest-maybe the cables were for back?
-
He was making a link between deads and weight gain. I was pointing out that the weight gain will be muscle.

the workout listed above is NOT my evryday workout, if i had gone to the gym today i would have started a leg rutean but i had to take colege placment tests insted. i have one more day of testing and thean im back on my normal sceduel (at least for a litle while)

it is a program that my triner has me doing curently, its devided up in in an intresting way. If i had writen it down i would explain it but i only wrote down what i did for the day. but what i do know is it is a 3 day split.
-
well as long as each muscle gets work. most people who start working out only do biceps and chest so you're ahead of the game.

ya i gess so.

Don't just quit for weeks at a time. That's a very bad habit to get into.
Your routine actually looks pretty good. Once you get a little stronger, I would lower the reps on upper body exercises.

One word. DIARY
take a diary and write down what u do everytime u work out so u dont have to try and remember everything uve done
*thumbs up on your prog thou *
-
Keep at it bro. Just saw your post. How are things going now? Intrested in seeing your measurements.
-
im suprised people are reading this thred still, im still going at it but ive been so buisy whith fineals and graduation prep that i havent been able to post. i have a camra now so ill post picks when i get my camra working and i get back from Germany
-
ok fine but tell us measurements
-
I am back from Germany. i lost about 7lbs while i was there from all the walking and stuff i did. ill be back in the gym as of tomaro or today rathere beeing it is now 12:04. well ill start posting again tomaro.
its good to be home :)
-

-
ok im kined of nervuse showing my pick online (im kined of a privesy freek) i have one pick you wont be abel to tell much becaues the castel is the focal point of the pick but im still there. i edited my face and eany othere marks off.
-
cover the face and show. that's how anyone can know what you need
-
OK i understand you're fat. That why you work out then. The best thing for you to do is to take your measurements and your bodyfat percentage every 2 weeks and see if you're improving. if you're not then cut the calories a little or work out harder.
-
fuck the measurements.......take a good look at that photo everyday , eat healthy and work your ass off.
Just do it
-
yea ive lost a litle wate since i took this pick. (not enufe to declare any signifegent inprovment) but im moving in the right direction.
-
Can some one help me figure out a beter diet for myself, and how to calculate carb, proteian, exet itake as well?
-
dint go to the gym today but i went on a 10 mile walk
-
You look like absolute shit.
-
that's why he works out. to look better. and he's pretty new at working out and young.
-
I know i dont look god but evryone must start some where.

I know i dont look god but evryone must start some where.
Very true bro.
Here's a link to a PDF for Max-OT. I suggest you try it. A very easy-to-follow training protocol.
http://www.freedomfly.net/Documents/MAX-OT.pdf
Also, I strongly urge you to learn more about nutrition. Even if you don't eat bad food, it's always good to have a "big bag of knowledge" so to speak. It will help you to choose the right foods when eating out, eating at the right time and finding the right foods at the store.
The book on sports nutrition by Ron Maughan is awesome. I urge you to order it.

thanks for the info and sary i havent posted for a while. ive been realy buisy whith some stuff in my life. (famly isues) eanyway i think ill be abel to post regularly agen now.
-
You look like absolute shit.
dont listen to this clown... "hes a vegan"
-
shave your head,you look like a woman, and eat less carbs.,. uhh.. A LOT less.. :-\
-
less carbs you say... ok ill give it a try.
as for shaving my head i may have to one day...
-
it's not hard to eat low carb. have one meal with a lot of carbs and the rest can be zero carb or protein meals with salad.
-
Unknown you have alot of balls to post the things you have posted. Not only are you handicapped, but the poundages you listed are in target for Ownings. What I say to you is this. Keep reading up on the sport, how to train, ect... Learn what works for you. Eat good and stay consistent. In time you will fill out but it may take like 10 years of balls to the wall training to become say Mr. GetBig, but you can get their without the garbage.
-
i may be over wate, but i have to start some where, so i may have a lot more work ahead of me than most. i can live whith that. i know i have a few years of hard work ahead of me, and i am ready and willing to do what it takes to get there.
as for todays work out it was cardio (whitch will be the magority of my work outs for a few months)
I ran 2 miles than biked another mile. it took me a while to do but its a start.
My gole is to be down to 200lbs by December.
-
Just remember man take your measurements every 3 weeks or whatever. that's how you'll be able to fine tune what you do. that means test bodyfat, weight, and tape measure.
-
today

-
yea i travel a lot, my grandparents live in minnesota and thats why i was on vacation last week. i dont plan to be doing eany more travling till december.
as far as the mesherments go no i have not been keeping track of that, i dont know why i shuld infact ill go do that now.
-

do you measure bodyfat or bodyparts?
-
no not realy.
i have no way (at least that i know of) to mesure body fat.
as far as meshuring body parts go im still looking for the meshering tape.
-
ask them in your gym
-
today i decided to make another change to my workout plan. i have decided insted of traning each body area as feel like it iw will focus on each area one day of the week, now this dose not meen i cant do curls when im focusing on my back but i will be doing mostly back exersise that day.
Monday- arms
tuseday- chest
wendsday- Cardio/legs
thursday- back
friday- arms
saterday- abs
sunday- rest
now i put arms in there twice because it is my week point there for i shuld work on it more. onnce my arms get stronger i will move for example chest in to the friday spot.
i think this idea will work.
now for today.
10 min warmup
dumbel curls 3/10 30/35/40
barbell curls 3/10 55/65/75
trysept extention (cabel) 3/10 90/100/110 (last set i maneged 7)
lat pull 3/10 90/100/110
dumbel incline 3/10 35/40/45
some sort of forarm exersise (dont know the name) 3/10 15/20/25
sholder press. 3/10 70/80/90
ran 1 mile
also worth mentioning for one reson or another i felt idestructable today like i could do eanything even when i was tirerd or strugling i dont know why i would feel sutch a way. thought that would be worth mentioning.
-
you gotta put more weight on the squats. even i who started squatting at like 140 pound bodyweight started with 95 pounds... by the way you know you count the bar too... it's 45 pounds.
Your logic is faulty, he outweighs you at starting point by 85 pounds. Any assertions as to what he should be doing at the start are out the window.
Keep up the good work ole chap, you're doing well.
-
