Workout Regimen

[wargod]

Mmmm...I would have that with a side of tofu and some seaweed salad.

i could go for some Cavatelli or Chicken Marsala they both sound great right now

[Suburban Warlord]

LOL...Yes they do. I am all for an occasional treat every once in awhile. After all, you gotta live a little.
Most of the time tho, I stay on track, and try to think of food as a balanced source of fuel and nutrition.

Look, over the course of the last year or so, I have grown somewhat fond of the people on this forum; you included.
I don't know too much about you obviously, but I can share from my own perspective. When I was in my teens and
twenties, I did'nt know squat about nutrition, and quite frankly, I did'nt care. I lived off of cheeseburgers, pizza,
burritos, and all that krap. My idea of a serving of fruit or veggies was a bottle of sugary "orange juice" or a can
of salty V8. I did what I did, and I ate what I ate, and I was young and resilliant.

When you hit your 30's, you will begin to notice the "rewards" of your ill behaviour. It was at that time that I began
to think seriously about what I was putting into my body. I quit smoking cigarettes when I was 27. BEST descision
of my life, or right up there. Also, I started taking a hard look at what I was eating. I educated myself about food.
Looking back, I cannot believe the diet I used to accept. It's totally unreal to me now.

My point is, there is more to being healthy and fit than having muscles and kicking A$$. Think about your circulatory system for one thing. I love heavy foods, but if you just eat them with abandon, you will clog your
arteries. You might get a heart attack or a stroke. How much kicking A$$ will you be doing after that?

Sorry about the preaching, but health begins mainly with the foods you eat, NOT the working out. It's
like trying to build a castle on quicksand.

i used to drink about 13 dr.peppers a day and eat snicker bars among pizza and cheeseburgers. i am 5'11 and last year my weight was 256 lbs. my waist size went from 32 to 42. now i weigh 195 and my waist is 34. i want to work out to get toned. i would like to drop to at least 165.

Unless you have a "meet" against "state" and have to "make weight", THE NUMBER DOESN'T MATTER!

I can't stress this enough

According to the height/weight charts, and small bone frame, I should be in the 140s

I'm close to 50 pounds over that!

[Lion]

yeah but i am sure it's all muscle from what i can see. i am not a very strong person, that's why i always stuck to cardio back in the days. i lifted free weights, but nothing heavy. to give you an example of what i am aiming for, i watched american history x and edward norton has the built i wouldn't mind having. i am not an educated person when it comes to diets and working out, i am sure it takes a special type of diet and workout to get that way.

Ya, BMI is total BS. Throw your scale away. How do you feel/look? How do your clothes fit? How strong and
able do you feel? That's what is important. 4nik8 has a nice build. Shorter and powerful from the look. Maybe
like Danzig. I am 6'5 and weigh in at around 215 to 220. But again, my weight means nothing really. It just
is what it is when I get to where I want to be.

[4nik8]

HEY! I tower over Danzig... er, with boots on

you know i would probably be more motivated if i had a workout buddy. the times i have gone to the gym i have really tried to be constant, but then i'd get distracted or start thinking, and before you know it, i have lost interest in the workout.
