Rep Power: 0 | | | Weight Lifting. Ok well I decided to start lifeting weights about say uhmmm I don't know how long ago. And well due to this i have lost about 10 lbs (all fat and stuff of course) and gained muscles (yay me).
But I have come to the conclusion that I need different "kinds" of workin outs.
I have simple weight stuff (none of those big ass Bowflex janx), what i mean is i have a average bench, enough bars, and weights from 5-25 lbs. I need work out that target these zones: stomach (ewww fatty crap)biceps, triceps, and some other good workouts.
If possible can I been shown some pics of what they look like?
thank you and have a nice day |

Rep Power: 0 | | | Stomach - Stand with your legs slightly apart and hold the weight in one hand. Bend to the side, as if you were sliding your hand down the side of your leg (but obv holding the weight).
I've got a really big poster of workouts actually. I'll try take a pic tomorrow and then post it here okay

Rep Power: 182 | | Read the stickie at the top of this section of the forum called "workout." That is what you should be doing.
You can't target specific areas of your body with weights and expect to shed the fat there. That isn't the way it works. |

Rep Power: 182 | | It may seem that the running directly impacts your gut. But it doesn't. It is the impact that all that running has on your state of energy flux. There are more optimal approaches to controlling your energy flux than running, running, and running some more. |

You will though, see me state how food plays the largest role on energy flux. If you feel the need to run until you are blue in the face just to see noticeable changes in your physique, I would bank on the idea that something is "off" with your diet. |

Rep Power: 0 | | | steve for the last 4 years there was plenty wrong with my diet, until about a month ago. I come from a military background at my fittest i weight 165, i ran 2 miles in 11 min 53 sec, my body fat % was around 12% the only other thing i did besides run was callosities and proper nutrition. Then I started lifting weight and overloading on healthy calories and stopped running and packed on the pounds. Then came a serious injury and poor nutrition (not training related and turn into a giant ball of fat at 231 ponds (33% body fat)! Now I'm trying to lose all the fat to get back to 12% body fat. |

Most of what I say around here in terms of recommendations and suggetions is based on my idea of the "optimal approach."
The optimal approach being that which leads to not only fat loss, but also muscle maintenance.
And what are callosities? Do you mean calisthenics? |

Rep Power: 35 | | e72, forgive me if I've recommended this before, but please take a look at the Index of WLF "Keepers". That has a ton of great advice from Steve and other WLF'ers on this subject. |
