Anyone here lift weights on a regular basis? I generally lift on and off and usually only make it into the gym 1-2 times per week
Starting next week I am going to hit the gym 3-4 times a week and set up an actual workout regiment to stick to
Anyone else into staying fit?

Damn Voodoo that is quite the regiment you got there. Mine will be quite a bit less strenuous than your yours. Circuit training is a bit unnecessary for what I am trying to do which is GAIN weight while adding muscle mass.
Sounds like your main purpose behind working out is to lose weight and tone what you already have, no?
I think I am going to steal little parts of your work out, add some of my own. Post it up and see what you think. I also need to work on my protein/ calorie intake but thats another story

Im not a big fan of running, plus I do enough cardio walking around this bitch campus at 100 degrees everyday.
I think when I set up my plan I am going to have it being nearly 100% upperbody and abs. My legs are pretty beast anyways. I occasionally jump on the leg press just to pump out a couple sets but fuck running

steriods are a little above my goals. I am currently about 135lbs an just under 6'0, so my goal is to get up to around 150-170 and hope I can do that with increase calorie/ protein intake and just hitting the iron
thank you for all your imput, you know what you are talking about

sounds like you had no idea what you were doing and overworking your muscles.
theres a proper way to work out and harmful ways to workout
Voodoo hit it on the head, form is one of the most important. but you also have to allow your muscles time to heal back after ripping them up

thank you for all your imput, you know what you are talking about
im thinking about doing the same thing. i dropped from 6'0 185 (15 months ago) to 6'1 145 right now. i would love to get back to 170-180ish
KP - let me know what you end up doing, and what works for you. i need to start this as well
and what do you plan to do for calorie/protein? its so hard to get those things in your diet and eat a lot of you are broke lol
Im going to start right now by going to the store and getting a weeks worth of protein bars. Maybe 2 weeks
Luckily I have M&G dollars (meal dollars) that I can spend on that shit.
Monday I hit the gym and I will let you know how it goes. I have been in there several times already this year. Just not on a specific routine

Yeah if you want little pussy muscles with no results, My muscles somewhat adapted to the training after a few months, not much soreness whatsoever the day after. If you want to be ripped its simply a trade off, body building was never known for its health benefits.
you would be surprised how repulsing body builders are to a lot of women.
Actually, I might somehow work that into my psych study

It is going to be extremely hard for me to eat my own weight in protein
I went and picked out several flavors of the same brand. And I am hoping if I can eat 2 of these per day, coupled with 1 decent meal and some snacks. That I can both boost my protein level high enough and my calorie intake
The trying the Met-RX bars BIG 100, I am somewhat limited to what I can get since it must be bought at the campus store
They ranged from 28g-32g of protein and are over 300 calories each.
So it should be a good start

Thats probably what I need to do, but that shit is expensive. You are talking 60$ a month just in weight gainer.
I might pick up creatine and take it once a week with my hardest work out (I plan on having light days with max reps ie 20 reps at pushups) and then hard days where I do sets like 8, 6, 6, and max out.
The bars can get expensive too for sure. I just can spend up to 1,000$ of the schools money from my meal plan so I might as well spend it on protein bars instead of chicken wings all the time ![:tongue: :tongue:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/tongue.gif)
Im going to put together my workout plan by sometime this weekend and share with you. I also want to get some more advice from Voodoo. I dont want something monster, but something to add a bit of muscle and put on a couple extra pounds

kind of a side tracked question, but do you do pushups? how frequently? and how many do you generally do?

How effective do you think push-ups are? Like saying doing reps of 25 several times throughout the day. Beneficial at all?

Oh Im not worried about looking weak, I think I have fair strength for my size.
I just mainly want to pack on some extra weight and would prefer it be muscle mass than fat
I will take your guys' suggestions though and we'll see how it goes
I spent about 1 1/2- 2 hours in the gym yesterday
