Good for you! My workout went fast today, so I had time to get in 2 miles of running/walking after the weight lifting...
About 20 minutes. But I combine running & walking. I run about a .25 mile or so (not at a sprint, but faster than just a jog). Then I walk until my heart rate comes back down. Then run another .25 mile. Repeat.
Do you guy play any sport beside working out in the gym. I remember buffalo play softball. Anyone play in something like a local amature sport league?
Not yet, but one of the guys I lift with has brought up an amateur football league he wanted me to join. Now a Mixed Martial Art league is starting. I think I'll stick to lifting
I used to play football (Soccer for you americans out there) but now only play it when messing around or bored with friends. I'm a good swimmer, Thorpedo 2 (as my surname is Thorpe)
I started about a year ago. I went from 240lbs at 28%bf to 175 at 15-16%bf. not bad. I want to enter a natural bodybuilding contest sometime. Grim is that an animal pak beanie?
well, for me i suggest you go for cardio exercise rather than making your muscles bulky, the bigger muscles you got the slower you become..
I lift almost every day, but I don't take it too seriously. Actually just started up again a couple months ago. I remember when I was first studying up on everything a few years ago though, and there were a few points that stood out and I still remember. This is if you just want to do it cheap and not get extremely scientific about it. 1. Carbs/Caffeine before a workout (energy to lift more), Protein after (to rebuild). 2. Rest is just as important as lifting. Your muscles have to rebuild, so I like to do upper body one day, lower body the next, then take a day off if I start feeling too sore. Sometimes even a day between even with the alternating. Your muscles supposedly continue to grow even months after you stop lifting. 3. Stick to the main core lifts like bench, curls, and squats at first because it releases more natural testosterone in your body from hitting the skeletal muscles. Also builds a stronger frame so you don't injure yourself with the trickier lifts. 4. Eat as much variety of good food as you can. If you do that, you will get a bunch of added benefits that you don't get from supplements (like a healthier digestive system/teeth, and will have some nice biological benefits from real food that you won't get from concentrate) 5. Lots of water. (also helps prevent some migraines btw) 6. Always keep a thin layer of fat on you (by eating carbs) until you're ready to start cutting and see what you've built. The reason for the layer of fat is to keep your muscles from feeding off of themselves and defeating the purpose (they use large amounts of energy and always go for fat to eat first). The only supplements I've used are whey protein when my appetite is low, and also royal jelly + caffeine for energy before lifting (but I think caffeine is actually counterproductive to the rebuilding process). I'd be interested to know how much of that is accurate though, from somebody who is more experienced and up to date.
that is totally wrong..it depends on how you train Vernon Davis is a freaks, he is big (254 pounds), but he run 40 yard for 4.38s*and a 42 inches vertical jump http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8167721561054690882&q=Vern on+Davis&total=114&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=3
