I went from using Labradas Lean program to the Arnorld one you mentioned. I jumped from 139 to 155, and bulking.

lol me too! All of the other apps pale in comparison tbh

I really need this thread for the new year. Right now my plan for each day this year is:

2 miles running
50 push ups
200 crunches
200 10 pound dumb bell reps on each arm

Any recommendations or edits? I'm terribly conscious about my body right now, mostly because I hold a gross amount of fat in my breasts. I just want to delete that fat, define my abs and gain some arm muscle tbh.

What are some good sites for new workout exercises? Mainly dumbbell, kettlebell, medicine ball, BOSU ball etc.

I've basically memorized all the ones on LeanItUp and they're all so boring now.

Does anyone tan at Planet Fitness? I was using a tanning salon but it ended up being like $100 a month plus tanning lotion. I hate PF and always refused to get a membership there but its the only reasonably priced place with tanning so I guess I'm going to sign up when I go back to school but I'm afraid their beds are going to be ****.

Also their pizza every Monday thing is so

Protein/Protein shakes and bars, chicken, peanut butter, rice and fish for a start.

So many ppl @ my gym do squats all wrong The worst are the ones who don't even get all the way down to 90degrees, so it's just a useless half-squat
I just don't have the heart to tell them they're not doing much, even though they're all excited, adding weights

I know people are trying to be helpful but I can't help but cringe when someone walks up to another person and tries to signal them to move into a different stance or something.

Just today, someone had headphones in and they were squatting and another guy came up and tried to talk to him but the other guy wasn't having it. I felt so uncomfortable since it was about 12pm and there were literally 10 people at the gym.

I believe PF has level 2 lay down beds and level 3 stand up beds.

Take out the crunches. Get an ab wheel and do 2 sets of 10 reps to the left, middle, and right. Also add a plank for 2 minutes a day. 1 minute when you wake up and another minute before bed. Add another minute every week. After 2-3 weeks you'll be able to hold a plank for 90 seconds straight easily.

I'd also do least 100 pushups a day. Don't need to be all at once. 50 in the morning, 50 at night.

I'm really trying to dedicate myself to a steady routine.

Anyone able to give me advice on some workouts to lose fat? I'm looking to lose around 50 lbs so I'll have a twink phase around 140-150 when I start college and then I can bulk up with muscles after I'm able to access a gym fully. I really have no idea what to do, I've been able to cut down A LOT of my food intake in comparison to before Christmas but I don't know any good workouts to shed the pounds fast.

You should get a calorie tracking app like MFP if you don't already have one and start your calorie intake at a deficit. There are plenty of programs out there to follow like Insanity, 30 Day Shred, T25, etc. or even just free videos on YouTube. It doesn't really matter which program you pick, you'll lose weight as long as you are burning more calories than you intake.

Right?! It always comes off so obnoxious, even if the other person means well.
I usually just leave them to do their thing (they'll figure it out eventually, when a year goes by and they've made like 0 gains)

Do any of you guys use Bodybuilding.com and its body space app?
Its so efficient with tracking workouts and progress!
If anyone is looking for a way to take their workouts to the next level I'd suggest the Arnold Blueprint to Mass its really been kicking my ass recently.
6 days a week and LONG workouts. I've gone from like 180-194 in the past two months though!

Thanks. I just downloaded the app and added the Arnold workout

Eat less.
Download MyFitnessPal, tell them your weight and goals and they will tell you how much less you need to be eating. That + serious cardio and some light weight lifting and you will be the cutest twink on campus. If you don't have access to the gym just go to the park and do 100 pushups on the bars(33 high, 33 low, 33 medium) and ten sets of as many pull-ups as you can do. Run 2 miles a day initially until you can up the ante to 4 or 5 a day. Do crunches in the restroom against your shower overtime you use the restroom and before and after taking a shower You can do it!

I was looking through the exercises and I'm going to do some alternative exercises instead, like the Good Morning one I'll change to Romanian Deadlift. I fear I will hurt my back if I do Good Morning

Thanks

Alright, thanks so much for responding! I'll definitely try working in those exercises you mentioned!

Dowloading the app right now, thanks so much!

There's this series of gym classes that are 30mins each, and they're called the 'Grit Series.'

Grit Cardio, Grit Strength (weights) and Grit Plyo (lots of jumping, and exercises using a bench).

Anyway there's always Grit Strength and then Grit Cardio, and I've never been able to do them both in a row until yesterday and although I am DESTROYED I am also very proud.

But my diet is a piece of ****, and as much as I want to be vegetarian I'mma have to apologise to the environment and the animals and chow down on some mother ****ing chicken if I ever want my body to change.

Ew do not use ****ing tanning beds. Why would you bother going to the gym if you're just going to go lay down and encourage cancer to grow in your body?
