Take photos of your self in a swimsuit for good before, during and after shots. Tape the before shot to your fridge for motivation. Remember, when you lose fat, you lose it all over and that means a lot of intramuscular fat, which, when lost, isn't readily visible. Try using bodyfat calipers to measure progress. Stick with it! |
fuck i'm in pain. i can hardly walk. i did arms today. which isnt hurting yet, but I'm sure it will. However I am going to stick with it. |
I have to use California vernacular now that I'm not in California anymore, because I get homesick. |
Plus, I find that if you have a protein rich meal about an hour after you work out, it helps reduce the soreness. but it's good to feel a little sore, that means you've stressed your muscles and that's what stimulates muscle growth and consequentially, fat loss. Remember though: what's most important if you are lifting weights is to rest. Muscles grow after they are stimulted and you need to rest them well between exercising. So you should have at least 24 and preferably 48 hours betwen exercises for different muscle groups. So, if you do upper body one day, it's best to do aerobics the next day, then lower body, aerobics, and then upper body again. You get a lot of rest for the muscles, which only need a real brief stimulation to start the growth of new tissue. i guess it's time i got my ass back in the gym - I am getting so close to getting rid of this spare tire! Plus, Mavis sent me this total redneck 3/4 quarter sleeved shirt from 1984, with the champions from the previous 3 years inteh NAtional Four wheel Drive Pull contest on it. I would look really good in it if I could lose this little gut o' mine. Plus my shoulders would look good too. |
