Weightlifting/ Workout

[blownengine]

Sounds good. Now on the KRE-Alkalyne. Do i take it everyday or after every workout? Weighed in at the heaviest in my life at a 263.4 last night...

Most creatines you take every day. I don't know if they tell you different however since its different than creatine mono.

Been doing the stronglifts 5x5 for about 2-3 weeks maybe. I started with the Bar to get the proper form. This is where I'm at as of today.

Deadlift: 135lbs

Squats: 90lbs

Barbell Rows: 85lbs

Overhead Press: 65lbs

Bench Press: 65lbs

Starting weight was 261.4, Now I'm at 264.5, Maybe i should eat a little better? LOL. My posture has improved alot though.

More progress to come in about a month or so, maybe when it starts getting heavy i will lose some fat and drop some pounds.

You're not pushing hard enough. I bet you're stronger than that, don't be afraid of the weights.

Yeah I'm gonna try to add some more to the bench and overhead. I do struggle with the pendlay rolls though. Akward ass form, my back is weird. Gonna try to go up 10lbs each workout until i fail.

Back at it again, taking it serious this time, gonna stick with it and try to gain muscle/lose weight/fat.

Goal weight is 255, need to step up my cardio, I'm currently at 280lbs. Have been eating much better though, need to step up the diet a little more though.

Alright I need to start at it again. Gotta get my weight down. I turned 24 in July and have let my self go bad! I'm 6'1" @ 329. Id like to get down to around 250. Lately have a lot of added stress. Demanding job, mandatory 6 and 7 days a week plus we just had our 2 child last week. My problem is trying to eat right/healthy and on a schedule. Plus have a hard time getting started on working out and what not. So do you all have any pointers on where I should start? How to get motivated? Any help is greatly appreciated

Second day back at school and the gym is crawling with freshman who have NO IDEA how to lift! Good lord. Extreme body sway while curling, dropping the bar fast and slamming it off their chest, ugh.... Oh and my favorite. This really tall guy, clearly never lifted before because his friends were giving him advise. They had him deadlifting more then I even can with a WIDE ass stance, narrow grip, and enough back arch to be called a camel. WOW.

He'll be feeling that the next day for sure.

Im not very strong or a big guy. I'm 6'0 and was 155lb in July now Im at 165 and plan on gaining more till I'm around 175.

Workout 5 days a week. 3 days are concentrated on just lifting and heavier weights lower reps. But I concentrate on my form and keep my speed slow...dont jerk weight around drop bars etc. The other 2 days are full body workouts with lighter weight ton of reps and cardio such as swimming running etc. Plus those two days I do yoga or pilates or both. Just within a month the difference is noticeable more energy better posture etc.

Honestly Yoga made the biggest difference to me. I am putting on muscle and can see that I'm larger from lifting..but yoga has eliminated my back pain gave me better posture and helped me up weight by increasing my core strength.

I would recommend yoga or pilates to everyone on here who works out. You will be surprised if you have never done it before. Alot of my friends talk crap but they get in there and cant do 1/2 the poses and dripping sweat.

Alright guys I need your help. I have a BIG problem with gorging on the weekends. I label myself as a temptation eater, meaning that if food is around me I am going to eat it even though I know I shouldn't. I don't plan cheat days like this, the opportunities to cheat just pop up. It's so frustrating because I stick to my diet all week without cheating and then every weekend I ruin it. My weight has roller coastered between 150 and 155 for the last month because of this. Its going to take over a week just to get this labor day water weight off!

For example, yesterday was labor day and I went to a cookout. To the best of my memory here is what I ate: 11 beers, 3 burgers, 3 hot dogs, t-bone steak, 4 deviled eggs, bowl of cole slaw, hershey's bar, handful of cereal, and at least 15 homemade cookies.

Yes I ate all that. That was all in an 8 hour period as well. I felt horrible and sick with every bite but I kept eating! Obviously my will power isn't working. Does anyone have words of wisdom or experience?
