Last summer I bought an Iron Gym Express to do light workouts at home. EVERY morning I make a point of doing 10 pull ups before breakfast. I set aside one day per week to do chin ups and neutral grip pull ups for a light workout that looks like this: chin ups: 10 sets of 10 repetitions for a...

Monthly Weigh-In Wed. May 25, 2011 It's been six months since I posted anything in this thread. My weight had remained relatively constant these past few months but my body fat fluctuated between "acceptable" to "athlete". Last month, for instance, I weighed in at 160.9 pounds and depending on...

Thanks.

Do you finish every exercise before you go on to the next one? or do you split them into multiple sets e.g. 10 push ups, 10 floor wipes, etc. then repeat?

It all depends on your definition of "gym strength"; weight lifting just to make your muscles larger is entirely different than strength training. Isolation exercises are nothing compared to compound exercises that call upon many different muscle groups to do the work. Right off the top of my...

I definitely agree.

Thanks, I had considered that possibility. I also need to drink more water while I'm training, I haven't been doing that as much lately.

Bodyweight exercises are very very effective in building strength and endurance, but you shouldn't do them everyday. If you train the same muscle groups day in and day out, a couple of things happen: 1.) you overtrain the muscles and increase the chance of physical injury, 2.) it will cease to...

It's normal to feel hungry after a workout, that's the body's way of replenishing energy. IMO, you're spending way to much time on aerobics, you might cut the cardio to 30 minutes three days per week and extend your weight training to 1 hour sessions with something like this: Mon. - benches...

Monthly Weigh-In Sat. 12/25/2010 First thing this morning, before taking a shower or having breakfast, I weighed myself using two scales. I finally got out of the 160 pound plateau but unfortunately it was in the wrong direction. This month I weighed in at 161.05 pounds, an increase of 0.66...

You should read what is said on a lot of Asian American discussion boards, most of the guys complain that it's impossible to land an Asian woman. But the guys who complain the most are precisely the ones who lack the confidence to get a woman. Like I have said time and again it's mathematically...
