ya, i do 100 pushups before workout and 50 after . then on the day i do my back i do a pyrimid of pullups (palms out) so i get like 75 or so, and do 150 crunches or 200 situps everyday.

i do a 19min 3 mile, i can do 15 pullups (palms out, you try to do them and you'll know how hard that **** is.) and easily do 100 crunches in 2min.

now im in the process of cutting up and defining the Muscle.
 
If you want to get stronger/bigger, do heavier weights with less reps.

4 sets of 3-4 reps with 90% of your max weight.

However, seeing as you are just starting out, you should get your muscles used to the strain first with light workouts for about 2 weeks.

Something like: 5 sets 10-15 reps at 60% of your max. You don't have to actually max on an exercise, just test out different weights, see how much you can handle and still get in all of the reps/ sets.

After that you can change it to mid level stuff like: 4 sets 6-8 reps 80% of your max weight before going on to the heavy sets.

If you aren't cutting, spend no more than 45 minutes doing actual lifts cause you'll just be wasting your time after that.

When you are going light, take about a minute break in between sets. Mid level take about a minute and a half, heavy rest for around 3 minutes in between sets. Work out at least 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Or if you want, you can just work out every day but alternate between upper body, lower body, heavy, light, and cardio workouts to allow each group of muscles time to recover.

Right now I go 2 days for heavy lifting and 3 days of light/burn out workouts working on my explosion as well as cardio with plyo workouts.

Mon., Wed., Frid.= light burnout stuff working out for 2+ hours finishing off with either swimming laps or 100 minimum reps of rock climbing on the rock walls.

Tuesdays and Thursdays= heavy lifts, stuff like bench, leg press, military, etc. The usual 90% 4 sets of 3-4 reps for about an hour finished off with another hour of burn outs/ ab workouts.

That routine got me from 155 lbs with 13% body fat to 165 lbs 8% body fat in little over 2 months. Though, of course, I had more to work with than you do since I used to play football and just got a little lazy. But I also managed to get my roommate, who was far less built that you are, from benching 10 pound weights on each side of the bar to maxing at 135 lbs while working out with 100 lbs with 6 reps on the same routine. I just went from maxing at 165 on bench to 235, didn't focus too much on the lower body so that part is about the same.

Anyways, just as everyone else said, don't ever do it. At one point I was going to the gym every day spending 2-4 hours there, sometimes pulling double days, and it took a toll on my body, mainly my joints from all the stress, and it does not feel good at all. Try to limit yourself to a maximum of 4 days a week with 45 minutes for each day spent on heavy lifting and 1 hour to an hour and a half for each day you spend on light workouts such as cardio.
 
Ok guys, Just got back from GNC. Picked up GNC pro whey protein mix. Vanilla flavored :headbang2

Um, how do I make this taste good? Blender, ice, bananas, and strawberries?
 
Invest in a good shaker cup. You'll pull your hair out trying to get a smooth mix with a glass and spoon. Blender works well, too.

My gf mixed it in milk, tasted delicious. Is this ok?


Also. I am 6' and weigh 160. BMI is 21.7
 
This is rmorse's gf. Since he is committing himself to this, I've decided to support him by also getting in shape =)
idk if any of you know about how a girl's workout would differ, because I definitely want different results... I don't want to 'bulk up' at all, I just want to be lean and strong, with maybe a little bit of definition.
Currently I am 5'7" and 130 lbs, with a BMI of 20.4. Personally, I think the bottom half of me needs a little more work, e.g. toning/slimming.
Any suggestions?
