  1. So, the other night I had a dream that I was at my moms place and my Grandma was there. The weirdest part is that the dream was so vivid. He face and her voice too. The craziest part is she died in 1978, 4 years before I was born.

    It was super comforting, but kind of confusing. I've been thinking about my Grandparents a lot lately. My Grandpa on my Dad's side passed away a few weeks ago. Maybe that's it.

  2. His suicide note, which he posted on his site for everyone to see and which thankfully alerted people to things and action was taken to help him, is fuckin' heartbreaking.

    As a sidenote. The way some of the music "news" sites have chosen to run this "story" is downright despicable. Suicide in itself is a very personal and touchy subject for all involved, and the way these sites have sensationalized Pajo's ordeal a la TMZ is incredibly irresponsible.

    And just because they post a blurb about the National Suicide Prevention Hotline doesn't absolve them from the gross misconduct of having posted the news and how it was posted.

    Well said, Juan

  3. At 1900, you are at about a 1000 calorie deficit a day without working out (unless you get zero exercise throughout your normal day). Shouldn't need to workout to lose weight (maybe something really light to preserve muscle mass).

    You seem to want to let it go so I will. I'm just coming at this from the lens that when people talk about trying really hard but being unable to lose weight, the problem is almost always diet, not exercise (short of having a serious medical condition).

     

    I began eating healthy again about 3.5 weeks ago and have lost 9 lbs. Something I'm doing is working, so I'm just going to keep at it. Switching to a vegan diet has helped a ton.

  4. Are the squats just body weight squats? Your workout mostly just looks like a cardio routine to me, which is fine. It won't need you much strength but it will burn calories and you'll continue to lose. Do you have a goal weight? How far are you? 

     

    A lot of people advocate to optimize your workouts for weight loss or muscle gain, not both, so knowing where you're at might help? I dunno, I'm spitballin' a bit here, my advice is all based on anecdotal evidence. 

     

    I know I come off as a douche in some of these threads but there is SO much bad advice out there. People get drastically overweight and put themselves in a situation where almost anything that they do differently is going to have a positive effect, then think that they have the have found a solution worth recommending. Doesn't make it the best way to go. Find a program created by someone who knows a lot more than you. Set a calorie goal that fits with your overall goals and stick to it. That's all the planning anyone needs to do.

    That's not pointed at anyone. Just generic comments.

     

     

     

    Why not get ripped? People who don't lift get huge benefit right out of the gate in terms of strength and physique. The further you go with it, the harder it gets. Take the easy gains. You see what an olympic runner looks like? That what you are going for? Sounds to me like you are working harder instead of smarter. You can get in excellent shape (toned if you prefer) with 3 workouts of week under an hour and a good diet. Hours and hours of cardio leads to your body going catabolic or you overeat to compensate.

     

    Hey guys. I started out at 270, now I'm down to 253. At one point I was down to 237, but life happens. I'd like to be down to 210, that's goal.

     

    My main goal is to lose weight and tone up. Mainly looking at toning up my upper body.

  5. Read the weightlifting thread. You shouldn't do 140 squats. It's a strength training exercise. 5 sets of 5 is plenty. Should be adding weight, not reps.

    If you're just trying to drop fat then you can do anything that creates a calorie imbalance (running, swimming, elliptical, etc). Diet is way more important than what program you choose. Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym.

    Thanks, dude! I eat healthy about 6 days a week....been losing about 1-3 pounds a week on average. I'm not really into getting super ripped, just want to ton up and continue to lose weight. I lost about 33 lbs but gained a bunch back due to stress/life. Down about 20 still.

     

    I'll check out the weight-lifting thread. Thanks again!
