Been loving this stuff as the base for my protein shake. Powerade Zero + Isopure zero carb powder works well. Sucralose ftw.

Simply one of the best things ever created. If you take your personal success seriously download this free tape and listen to ET. This is the first motivational mixtape ever and genius imo.

Get rid of your TV. Stop playing fantasy sports. Go after your dream once and for all.

I can personally tell you this **** is true and is unfolding in front of me as we speak. I hope everybody gives this a listen and becomes insanely successful.

Good luck. Download it.

Yeah, I couldn't get through 2 tracks. Lots of random name dropping mixed with extreme excitement. Thanks for the suggestion but not for me. Hopefully others like it.

How do you know if you only listened to 1.5 tracks? It's 18 pieces from his lectures set in a mixtape style. The **** is brilliant and true.. it's up to the individual to embrace and utilize the messages. Listen to it on the way to work and soon you'll be getting up at 3am like ET.

My neighbors have been inviting me over for bonfires way too much lately, lol, they are all in their 20s and drink a lot of beer and I <3 beer. Between that and recovering from flipping the atv over memorial weekend up north, I am way behind on losing the winter coat.

This thread was getting buried so I'm bumping it. Got a little lazy over the Finals but back at it. Hooped the last 5 nights/days and back up to speed. Tonight was a great run and some really good games.

We're about half way through the year and I'm back on target for my year end goals. I'm guessing a vast majority have dropped off their New Years resolutions.

Unfortunately I don't think many people read the labels.

Last year I went from 220ish down into the 190s dieting and running. Let myself go over the winter and went back up to 212. Hitting the gym hard (run 3.5 to 4 miles almost every day) and calorie counting has got me back down to 197. I'm a little concerned about Summerfest weight though...

Need some form of resistance training, even if your primary goal is just to lose weight.

Diet + cardio - resistance training = eventual loss of muscle = slowing of metabolism = eventual stalled progress = likely rebound weight gain

IMO no, legs and back are two of your major muscle groups and they don't get touched during a pushup. But still far better than nothing.

So add squats and what else? Dead lift, or can I get away with lat pull down?

Inclined crunches are great. Abs are just as important as anything.

Got my 7th day of ball in a row in over some full court noon games.

Deadlifts would be a great addition as they hit your hams, low back, glutes, traps and even calves and lats some. Squats are always good and would give you something hitting your quads. I'd definitely add those two and some upper body pulling movement- rows or pulldowns like you mentioned. Or better yet chin ups if they're an option.

Finished my 15th straight day of ball tonight. Solid 3 hours of full 5s.

Into July now so downhill into the end of the year.

Alright fitness dudes, need your help. Finding the right long term workout plan has been difficult for what I'm looking for. This is the pertinent info and what I'm looking for:

• Very scrawny arms and shoulders. Born with a slim, narrow frame and I still look that way at 30.
• Not really worried about my legs. Biking has taken care of that. Lower body is good.
• Whatever workout program I begin, it has to account for swimming and biking. I'd do both everyday if I could.
• Waist line is 34" so not horrible, but could stand to drop a size or two.
• Definitely want to work on definition and shed some lbs around the gut.

What I'm looking for is an arms, shoulder and ab program. I've gone to some sites and for a relative newcomer to weight training I'm seeing a lot of whole body programs. Upper body one day, squats and deadlifts, etc. the next, rest, repeat? Is this necessary to what I'm looking for? If I went hard on say

Monday: Shoulders
Tues: Cardio
Wed: Back/Biceps/Abs
Thurs: Cardio
Fri: Chest/Triceps/Abs

Is this going to get me results I'd be happy with?

I'm doing one almost exactly identical to that right now. I got a hairline fracture in my ankle playing basketball, so no running/jumping/lifting legs until October per my orthopedic guy, only spinning and swimming. I'm doing a similar split to you, although I'm lifting two days per week (chest/biceps one day, shoulders/back/triceps another) and then doing Ab Ripper X separately three days per week.
