  1. Skinny Arms

    Understood. just have a hard time with calorie requirements to keep up the deficit. According to my stats and assuming a sedentary life style (to make the calorie requirement more difficult whether sedentary or not) I can't have much more than 1650 calories a day. So, I try to workout daily...

  2. Skinny Arms

    Question about the protein intake. I am trying to be a bit careful counting calories, because I really want to make sure I keep my 500 calorie deficit per day until I reach my goal body weight. That being said, to get 170 grams of protein is difficult, because I really am not trying to...

  3. Get rid of the FAT!!!!!

    Hey, I am 5'9" and was 176. Over the internet there is a program called my fitness pal you can download. It will take some effort, especially in the beginning. You need to track what you are eating. All of it! I can't believe how many calories quickly add up in a simple meal. I am trying...

  4. Skinny Arms

    Great posts and information from everyone. I do intend to focus on weight loss first. So far, working well simply counting calories with the myfitnesspal program, and trying to do some type of exercise daily. Even an extra 30 minutes on the elliptical, in addition to, no more soda or fast...

  5. total body workouts

    Thanks That is why I wanted to start with just some simple, lower weight, high rep front raises, lateral raises, and bent-over. I forgot the name of it, but its a rotation movement for rotator cuff. Thanks man for the advice and pointers. This site is awesome. Yes, several years ago I...

    Thanks for information. Again, the overhead press, like a military would be impossible. However, I did think about the pulldowns, and I am actually doing them. I wasn't using the bar, but at 24 hour fitness, I guess it's a lat machine, with a overhead cable to each side, and you pulldown to...

  7. Fat burning vs. cardio work

    Thank you I have simply been using the heart rate monitor on the elliptical machine and checking every 5 minutes to see where I am at. I did discover that if I keep my heart rate a bit lower, I certainly can go longer. When I have to increase the resistance to keep the heart rate at 145, there...

  8. Using Pre-Alkalyn during weight loss

    I am hoping there are a few more opinions on the use of the creatine when trying to also lose weight? Also, how much could the pre-alkalyn through off the body weight (assuming about 173 current body weight and 23% body fat)?

  9. Fat burning vs. cardio work

    65% is correct for which? Fat burning or cardio workout?

  10. Fat burning vs. cardio work

    Some of you have seen some of my other posts... Thanks for your responses Curious. I like the elliptical trainer because it is easier on my joints and especially for my flat feet. I am trying to cut belly fat. Currently at 23% body fat, age 35, 5'9" and 173 On elliptical, I believe for...

  11. Using Pre-Alkalyn during weight loss

    Hello, Is it okay to be using creatine to help working out, but when trying to lose weight? I am trying to recompose body, so want to continue lifting weights (and taking creatine), but lose weight to drop body fat % at the same time. Starting weight: 176 Starting body fat % ~25 Current...

  12. total body workouts

    Hello, Here is a sampling of the exercises I pull from. I do not do all of them each time, but wanted to give you an idea of what I am trying to get comfortable doing. Because of the shoulder injury I can't do pull ups, exercises like military press (that was actually how I dislocated the...

  13. total body workouts

    Hello, As a general rule, If I was able to workout every other day doing a total body workout (or at least, triceps, biceps, chest, back, shoulders), does that probably mean I am not working out hard enough? I seem to recover quick enough that I could work out again 48 hours later. I am...

  14. Should I be focusing on weight loss first?

    Thanks for info. No. I am working out. I am trying to do total body work-outs about 3 times weekly. On workout days, I try to add about 20 minutes of elliptical at end of day. On non workout days, I am trying to do about 40 minutes of elliptical. Because I work a lot as a veterinarian, I...

  15. Cutting Calories Setback

    Thanks for information. Started about 10 days ago with the counting calories. Definitely helps to keep track of things. No official measurement, but I believe about 23% body fat currently. So far, have dropped from 176 to 173. It's harder than I thought!

  16. Cutting Calories Setback

    Hello, I am using myfitness pal program to track calories burned and food intake. To lean towards making the calorie count more difficult I am assuming a daily requirement based on a sedentary life style. I have noticed on some days I do quite well and have a calorie deficit of about 500-700...

  17. Skinny Arms

    Okay. So far, I have been doing: 1. Alternating dumbbell curls 2. BB curls 3. Hammer curls 4. Tricep pushdowns 5. tricep extension (I seem to be able to really get a good burn and isolate the traps using the machine, although I know a lot don't recommend it) 6. If not exhausted on triceps...

  18. Skinny Arms

    Thank you. I keep focusing on wanting to do 10 reps, but I know I can do more weight if I drop the rep count a bit.

  19. Skinny Arms

    Hello, Well, currently weigh about 175. I estimated for reasonable body fat, I need to get down to 162-165. Then, I want to pack on some muscle. Type of gains? Nothing crazy at all. If I maintained a body fat of about ~17% and weighed 175, I would probably be quite happy. I guess my goal...
