Just keep it up Mookhow, these things take awhile. Rome wasn't built in a day and most folks have to work it for awhile before they start seeing substantial results. |

Take frequent rest days early on. It'll keep the soreness down, reduce injury potential,and hopefully reduce the burnout factor. |

What Midgen said. The key is to stick with it long enough to see some results. In, say, 2 months you'll look at yourself and say "Damn.. I look good!" You may not look fantastic by the standards of the media (I sure as hell never do) but you'll look and feel better compared to how you did look and feel. Hang in there. |

Exercise definitely works as an anti-depressant for me and just makes me feel better in general. Well that and eating good food which I've been rather lacking recently. My advice is to find something you enjoy doing to get your exercise. Good luck! |

If I learned anything as a guy who weighed 120 lbs and would frequent several different gyms with other strangers a LOT bigger and stronger than me, it's that the mere fact that you are there and working out that gets you their respect and camaraderie. I remember one dude who was benching over 300 lbs asking me to spot him. My reaction was "Uhhhhh........." But he was cool about it, and just needed a little extra help and that little help went a long way for him. When I first started, I could barely benchpress about 80% of my weight. But after a few months of going about twice a week, I was easily pressing more than my bodyweight (at least a 110% increase in the amount of weight pressed). Strength will come. It's all about adding more weight slowly as you progress, pushing your limits, and making sure your muscles heal in between visits. I would alternate muscle groups on different days. So, to sum up: You'll get stronger, and don't worry about not being able to lift/endure as much as others. |

I think you can do it. That doesn't sound unreasonable at all. |

Friday: Spoke to trainer for 2nd free session. Recommend I eat better, nutrition is 70% of fitness. Established my AT is 130. Not confident about that number. Gave me a 45 minute long cardio workout regimen. Sunday: Cycled 30 minutes. I'm going to need to build up to this 45 minute thing. |

Exercise Bike 30 minutes. Don't remember how many miles it said, but oscillated from level 4 to level 7 resistance, per the exercise plan given to me. Still not up to 45 minutes, but at least I didn't have to stop in the middle. |

You should be able do 45 min with less resistance or at a slower pace, no? Are you monitoring your heartrate? |

My friend wants to start a free weight routine, so he suggested I do it with him. Last night, we did bench press, squats, military press(?), and deadsomethingorother. 3 sets of 10 each. Bench Press: 45 lbs (bar only), 55, 65 Squats: 55, 65, 75 Military Press (bar only): 5 reps, 6 reps, 6 reps Deadlift(?): 50 lbs x2.5 |

My friend wants to do some sort of abdomen thing, too, if you have any suggestions. |

| Author: | Dash [ Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:02 pm ] |

Deadlifts and squats will work your core, so will the presses since you want everything to be tight when you're doing them. They support your spine and keep everything in place. So I'd put all my energy and effort into the above lifts. If you wanted to a bit of core/abs work anyway, I'd say do something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfgjWFKP5Mo but dont over do it. Abs are a small muscle group, easy to beat up. |

Bench 55x10, 60x8, 65x6 Squats 65, 85, 95 Military bar only 8, 4, 4 reps Dead lift 65, 75, 85 (x8) Captain's chair/free hanging/sit-up machine/exercise ball random undignified flailing. At least the exercise ball I could feel was my abdomen sucking rather than my knee or my arms or whatever. Overall I think I improved a little in some places and did worse in others. Hopefully I will recover faster this time. |

As with most things consistency is key. Keep plugging away! As for the lean part of "Lean Bheef" make sure you're putting effort into eating good food too. |
