DUE TO THE AMMOUNT OF PEOPLE TELLING ME TO CHANGE UP MY ROUTINE IM GONNA READ OVER THE 5X5 BILL STARR ROUTINE AND THE 2DAY SPLIT PUSH PULL ROUTINE, WHAT WOULD BE BETTER??????!?!?
Post any inspiring videos or pump music.
I have long procrasinated over trying to lose weight. I have told myself, and have been told, I need to get active. I have had enough and I am going to start tommorow, Monday, May 5, 2008. I am around 5 11 or 6 feet, and roughly 280 pounds, but I will get my official measurements tommorow. I have been going to the gym on and off for quite awhile, so I am not entirely new. I have read up on training and have contructed a program based on weight-training, and cardio. I want to get in some sort of shape before I start training in bjj and muay thai this summer. I understand nutrisystem is not the best, but I already ordered it and know people who have used it with great success. I will try it untill it runs out, but if it works well, I will continue to use it. My weight training program consists of a range of reps, with some heavy days with lows reps, and some days with high reps and low weight. I also am mainly doing HIIT cardio to lose weight, but am also going to do some long, excruciating cardio as well. I bought a yoga for beginners video that I am going to use to increase my flexability. My goal is to get to the 190-205 range. I am going to post my workouts each day, along with the total number of reps and the ammount of weight. I will also post my pictures,weight,and measurements weekly. Please do not try and get me down, I need all the motivation I can get. Post any constructive criticism, words of wisdom, motivation or anything else. Much appreciated and I will answer any questions to the best of my ability. Once again, thanks for taking the time to read my post.

today i used my i-pod when i worked out and it worked like a charm. It got me pumped, but I still didn't push much weight. Dead lifts are one of my weaker excersizes, so i gotta work on them. Cardio felt easier, but i sweated more than usual. Week 1 is almost over and i feel great.
