My arms are going to fall off. I'm suspicious that the workout my friend had me do was really just some kind of brutal prisoner of war-style torture. Felt good to lift some heavier weights though. Tomorrow we do legs, which I am not looking forward to.
So anyway, I've discovered that the scales i thought were in this house are not any longer. But that won't hinder me. I have stopped the cola intake, drastically reduced the junkfood, and have begun drinking water all day. I imagine I'll be sick of the water before long, but i'm not going to let that stop me. I'm also doing situps nightly. The last time I got weighed I was at 225, and I've added an inch or two since then.
It really gets easier as you go. I have 4 5 gallon jugs home delivered now, with a cooler in the kitchen because our tap water sucks.Quote:

What kind of sex? Is it violent, prison-style sex where you're forcing yourself on someone who's fighting back? That's good exercise.Quote:

Also, on topic, I gained a pound. What the fuck. Oh well. I'm at 183 now.
muscles weigh more than fat.
Yeah but that's not muscle
You probably just didn't drink as much or go to the bathroom. That's the problem with watching the scale. I do it because I like to see how much I sweat each workout, though.
I don't watch the scale that much. I limit myself to twice a week maximum. Usually once on the weekend or even less than that. I did some chest and back lifts today that were much better than the arm workouts. My triceps are a pain near my elbow region (not the elbow itself, it's definitely the muscle) so I know the workouts are doing their thang.
So far every workout my friend Steve has shown me can be done with a bench sans the bench presses. But even then you can still do presses with dumbells and a bench the same way. I've also been drinking nothing but water and some milk for the past week. I feel good. This regiment is definitely a lot more intense and a lot more rewarding, too. I'm keeping to doing my sets and waiting a minute between each thing before either doing the next set of the same lifts or even different lifts and it's working well. I work up a bit of a sweat before I'm done and then hit the treadmill for 35 minutes (I run for 30, and just cool down for 5)
I wrestled dudes for two hours tonight. I feel great.
Are you doing MMA or is this just straight mat wrestling, high school unitard-style?
I'm going to pick up yoga in a month or two once I get used to lifting more often. I did a few small yoga exercises the other day and they felt so fucking terrific, especially after a hard day of lifting, that I want to do it again. Last week me would have laughed off a yoga request from a lady. This week me decided to try it because you pimped it so hard earlier in the thread. Definitely worth it.
With girls, friends, work and working out I always have something to do other than gaming or drinking. This summer is going to be busy as fuck and awesome.
