woooo

benched 110kg 4 sets of 5 and last set of about 2!! haha

EZ bar went up to 45kg aswell!

quality, well happy!!

now for squats tomorrow!! grrr

lol

looking for some form of protein to take as my supply has run out and i fancy a change.

sick of maximuscle, tastes like bin juice.

had USN muscle fuel, really nice! but cyclone was good because it had a bit of creatine in it for some explosive power.

any reccommendations?

cheers

I did mean lift wise, but yeh that says it all anyway lol.

Oh, well for lifts here are my main stats (all in 1 rep maximum form):

Bench: 102kg

Squat: 135kg

Deadlift: 160kg

<h2 class="r">215 pounds = 15.3571429 stone</h2>

= 97kg

everyone should be able to bench their own weight atleast and then some... hence why your 100kg+ bench is completely comparative to your size/weight even at 16

And yeah, for my body weight, my stats aren't overly impressive

I've noticed that i've definately developed some sizable muffin tops around my waiste and a pair of not so toned pecks, so I HAVE to do something about it before the summer arrives.

Weights history isn't inspiring - go through motivated stages of doing ~60 press ups each night and a few weights, mainly curling 14kg dumbells. But that stopped a month or two ago and i realise the amount i was lifting/frequency of exercise was no where near enough to gain substantial muscle.

My plan is to use my rowing machine everyday for ~10-15 mins to shed the excess fat. Not interested in weight training and getting the Ronnie Coleman physique, just want to get fitter, more toned, less blob like. I eat pretty healthily anyway but drink next to no water, so ~3 ltrs a day extra should be sufficient?

Ive been following this thread for a while and have done a fair bit of research online. Anymore ideas you guys have to share?

Get a routine sorted out and stick to it.

Rest and Diet are almost as important as the training itself. (So I am told).

if you've just got a little bit to lose then that should be fine, if not then just do as much exercise as possible, walk, cycle, run everywhere go swimming and if you've got a rowing machine a few weeks on that and you'll be sorted. If I were you ( depending on how much i had to lose) I'd be rowing for an hour every second night.

Well i'm 5 ft 8 inches and weigh 68.5 kg, so i dont think im at all overweight for a 20 year old. Probably about the right weight. The tubby fat i see probably isn't a lot to some people, but i notice it loads. I'll keep rowing lol, 4th pint of water today too yesss!

Cheers for the advice

What sort of weight exercises can i do for my lower back? I've had problems with it before and I can't keep form when squatting or deadlifting.

If you can't keep your form, generally speaking, the weight's too heavy. I'd suggest a lighter weight when doing both of these exercises until you can keep form for the set amount of reps and only move up too a weight which you can keep your form on again and complete the reps.

apart from light weight deadlifts/squats. theres few options,

things like lying on the floor with your feet tucked in under your ass, then lifting your ass off the floor, and holding your body straight, will strengthen it.

that and back extensions. either using a medicine ball, or an incline bench, lie facing down on it, and just straighten your back, once it gets to easy, hold a bumbell behind your head/a weight plate tight to your chest/a dumbell out with arms straight above your head.

can also be done on the floor, but i never find it works as well.

also consider strengthing your obliques and the like.
