I can do this... But Someone will have to abuse me if I do not meet my goals!

Either Guy or Jarrad can do this, they are man enough!

Is that you in the yellow Jarrad? I thought the subway challenge was bogus anyways... But your boyfriend looks in decent shape, but a bit older... You must like the experience that an older fellow can provide. A soft, but firm touch eh??? I will stick to the womens... They are more my style!

I'm In..
I’m 6’1”, weighing in at 228 , target weight is 195 or losing enough to fit in 34" jeans loosely (high school) shape..

Basic measurements;
Arms 15”
Chest 44”
Waist 38”
Legs 24”

Targeted food intake goals
• 322 grams of Carbs
• 242 grams of Proteins
• 108 grams of fats


As Proteins are the basic building block of muscle development, I’ll need to use supplements to get more than 200 grams per day. I’ll be using Isopure punch, it contains 40g of protein per 20 fl oz and if needed I’ll add muscletech shake in for an additional 45 grams of protein!.. so I can get 125+ grams of protein from outside sources leaving 120+ grams from daily food intake.

ALSO NOTE!!! High protein requires lots of water! so you don’t damage your kidneys!! It’s recommend that you drink at least 80ozs of water each day!..(Just so you know!!)…

Man don't I feel special... Apparently 170-175lbs (my weight) is considered underweight by at least 10lbs for 6' 3" (my height), for my "small" body frame.

So while some of you may be losing weight, I will be gaining weight - in muscle. I've been going to the gym at least twice a week for the past few weeks, gaining strength. This has been in conjunction with biking or running, about once-twice a week.

I just stepped off my scale, which showed 172lbs. It's an old-ish spring (non-digital) scale so it might not be all that accurate, but I can continue using it for its precision. My goal is 185lbs, which is a gain of 10-15lbs in muscle.

6' @ 217lbs 38" trousers - aiming for 187lbs and those 34" jeans in my closest!

[AP Alex]

5' 10" @ 258 lbs. 39" waist, arms 17.5", chest 50", legs 26"

Target weight is 220lbs. and waist of 34". My dad is paying my wife off to get weight off me. The last time he did this I competed in a weightlifting contest at 195lbs. coming down from 260lbs. It gets harder as I get older.

Best Lifts: Bench Press 425, Squat 680, and Deadlift 500.

Plus, I've picked RC's over weights!

Can we do this to gain weight? I'm 5' 7", 130 pounds. My goal is 135 before summer rolls around. I am lifting about 3 times a week. I just learned how to do the hang clean today, and it really feels good after you do it. I need to meet my goal by the summer because when that rolls around I'll start cross country and I'll probably lose 10 pounds like I did last summer.

My best lifts - pullups - 21... ... thats it.

My chest at my tits is 36" and at my naval flexing is 29". Those are all I really care about and I want to get those up a couple inches.

Im almost 16 years old, 5' 10'' and about 165 lbs. I want to lose some weight but I cant motivate myself to stick with any workout plan. I have a treadmill and weight machine at home but I have no idea where to start. I would like to lose 15-20 lbs by the summer. Does anyone have any ideas?

Especially at your age, running is a great thing to do. Join Cross country. Chances are you'll meet a lot of great people and they'll be a lot of people you know there too. I can pretty much garuntee you you'll lose at least 10 pounds. Of course, that is in the fall, but you can get a nice pair of shoes, start running now, and join cross country this fall. Work your way up and run 3-4 miles 6 days a week and you wont beleive what it'll do for you.

Also, eat god foods. Eat a balanced diet, not too many salty foods, fast foods, or general junk food. Get some fruits and veggies. I like to eat at least a can of green beans, a can of corn, a few bannanas, and orange, lots of grapes, and a couple apples every week. I also eat whatever is at school. Two fruits or vegetables come with a meal. (i.e. a cup of corn and a bannana) Drink a lot of water too...

Thanks for the quick reply Metallover

I did cross country last year as a freshman and didn't like it that much. I enjoyed the running part, but what I didn't like was that it took so much of my time. When I did baseball during the spring/summer, we had to lift and I enjoyed that. However, that was in our schools weight room with good equipment. At home, I have a weight machine and dumbells, but I dont think they are as effective as free weights. We also have a treadmil, but I dont like running on that either, it is too boring. Maybe when the weather gets nicer (its anywhere from -20 to 30 now), I will start running again and during the summer I'll get a membership to a gym or something.

In the mean time, I'll watch what I eat and that stuff, but does anyone have any ideas for what I could do until the weather is nicer?

Thanks

Brad- 5'10'' 165 lbs. doesn't sound bad at all.... You may just want to work toward converting the weight into muscle, instead of losing it all together. Basically just keep an eye on your daily carb intake, and bump up your protein intake. That way your body has to burn the fat in order to build the muscle.

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm at 5' 11.5'' & 185 lbs. I'd like to lose about 10 lbs. The 34''s are gettin' a bit tight... Eating is my second hobby, so my plan is to eat less- that's about it.

Edit edit: OK, maybe a few sit-ups...
