I'm pretty fat. Looking for a good all-around workout.

Man I was going to wreck FrugalCopywrite after I was done taking my nap but it seems he's done it to himself by keeping that big mouth running. Peace.
 


p90X is good, the cardio part especially. it will push you and you will lose weight

you gotta eat god as well. don't worry so much about what your eating, but limit your portion sizes

have 6 equally portioned meals a day, like appetizer size, and make sure theres a lot of protein in them and carbs in the earlier part of the day. you will lose weight
 
Buying shit to change your life just satisfies an emotional fixation to feel like you're productive so you can postpone the dreaded real work that changing your life entails.

It's the reason why the dietbook industry is worth billions. It's the same reason my mother has dozens of diet books but has weighed the same since my childhood.

1) Stop eating bullshit. If you get too rigid with your diet, you'll probably relapse, so I wouldn't worry about calorie counting and I don't know why people recommend that. As if you're going to have a hard time getting to the bottom of where exactly your extra calories are coming from. I'd wager that it's pretty fucking obvious. Sounds like an easy way to burn out at the start.

2) Just do it. Go to the gym and get started. Don't buy shit. And don't look for some master workout plan because you first need to develop a routine for even going to the gym and an actual commitment so this doesn't just turn into a transient phase like it does for 90% of the rest of the western human population that parades around a newfound motivation to change and burns all their energy up riding the float, never even doing anything.

Do full body workouts. Find the basic exercises for the main muscle groups of the body and write them down. Go to the gym and work. The only thing I'd track maybe is the amounts you lift, but I wouldn't do that til you actually have a routine and a raging clue of what you're actually doing in the gym.

Come tango with the forum's armchair health experts once you're plateau'd and are looking for marginal gains because you have ways to go before even going to the gym just to slap your belly fat for 30 minutes won't produce a net gain.
 
How about this: from now on, anyone that posts specific fitness advice should be required to post a full body picture of themselves. Especially the ultra dogmatic motherfuckers.

This shit is already a huge ball of confusion without people chiming in about shit they read in a magazine while spilling cheeto dust on their beer gut.

Someone start a thread called "Fit people: what do you do to get / stay lean". That might actually be useful.

that's how a question on this topic always turns out. it's pointless to give fitness advice to people when a bunch of retards think they're experts. fuck it, just do p90x like all the other morons who finish it and think they're the next mike tyson or brock lesnar. i don't know why you all wnat to get ripepd with like 5% bodyfat. i've fucked plenty of hot chicks without having to look like that. i like drinking beer and eating pancakes. i'd rather just be strong and not give a shit about whether i can see my abs or not. p90x won't get you strong btw (i don't care how many pullups you can do).

there's that, but you really have to find your own workout. different body, different goals, etc etc.
 
Here's my workout:

Odd days:

1. Bench press. 4 sets, 10, 8, 6, 4, increasing the weight each time. (I do narrow grip for increased tricep workout)
2. Squats. 4 sets, 10, 8, 6, 4, increasing weight each time.
3. Deadlift. 4 sets, 10, 8, 6, 4, increasing weight each time
4. Bicep curl. 4 sets, 10, 8, 6, 4, increasing weight each time.
5. Cardio - 15-20 mins on the elliptical trainer at level 11-12 at 6-7mph.

Even days:

1. Bicep curl. 3 sets, 8, 8, 8, same weight each time.
2. Weighted ab crunch. 4 sets, 10, 8, 6, 4, increasing weights each time.
3. Special workout to strengthen rotator cuffs, only uses a 5lb small barbell. If you want to know it I'll send it, but I had rotator cuff issues recently and am using it to strengthen it.
4. Cardio. 35-40 minutes on elliptical at level 11-12, 5-6mph. Sometimes I do high intensity interval training.

2 scoops Jack3d and Yok3d before odd days, then protein after (in skim milk).

1.5 scoops Jack3d on even days, less amount of protein after (in skim milk).

Diet helps too of course.

My goals in free weights:

Bench: 1.5-2x body weight, so 300-400lb
Deadlift: 2x body weight, so 400lb.
Squats: 2-2.5x body weight, so 400-500lb.

Good shit,

This is what a real routine looks like and should be type of shit you need aspire to. Not the exact workout of course, but something suited to your needs and goals, there is no magical program which exists out there, if you aren't training to your personal needs you aren't training at all or training to a very limited potential. Fuck all that G99BX, hip-hop abs bullshit sold on Clickbank, find something that works, simple and actually do it.

Sit down with a personal trainer or somebody with experience, discuss your situation, hit up forums (not gay webmaster forums) etc. for good advice, take the advice and take action.

And to all the people who think free weights are purely for bulking, your a stupid fuck and/or probably a fat turd. Free weights are basically the only way to go when it comes to lifting. You can be lean, mean and very strong without touching one of those bullshit machines in your life.

You need to log your progress follow the routine, and eat clean. Simple as that. No need to over-complicate.
