What's got me worried actually, is that my dad is fairly healthy too...not overweight at all, exercised pretty regularly, eats decently, and he got it anyway...so I'm thinking maybe it's genetic...

Sometimes its simply genetics and that's precisely why I said all you can really do is hope it doesn't strike you.

Though I don't suggest losing yourself like this when you are lifting any kind of weight. In fact, stay VERY focused then. I lost focus once...won't mention why....while I was doing lat pulldowns and yeah, I laughed as I freakin' hurt my neck. It hurt and I KNEW I shouldn't have lost concentration, but I did.

What's eating up my time is that school is from 8:00-3:25, then I gotta work from like 4:00-11:00 or sometimes midnight and I work 6 days a week, sometimes 7. Trying to make that money man I'm barely making rent and insurance, on top of trying to save up for a nitrous kit for the Civic along with some other parts. Also I work full time on weekends.

Very true, Michael. Taking care of yourself will also help the cause as well.

Wow! Now THAT is a schedule. I'm hoping to get a second job, so I feel you my friend. My hours were cut at work and wow...that hurt a lot. At least you have your priorities straight...rent, insurance...then the nitrous kit. haha Best of luck for sure.

haha...in my job, I AM the head cook, especially on Sunday. Except that instead of cooking, I'm directing drivers twice my age. That is my job on Sunday's. The other days I assist in these duties. Quite fun dealing with over paid babies half the time. Most are cool, but there are always a few that like to whine about EVERYTHING. Sad really.

93civicracer · 03-23-2008, 02:12 AM

Shit I get paid hardly anything. Only making $5.85/hour and management only gets $5.95/hour, with exception of this other cook who's been there over a year n a half who makes a whopping $6.10/hour.

And when the guys up front call out massive amounts of chicken, yea, I bitch and moan a lot because I have every right, especially since the only assistant cook they give me is a DUMBASS, slow ass, IDIOT who has no clue what he's doing, doesn't learn anything, and is just about useless. haha

Luis998 · 03-23-2008, 03:52 AM

I know it would probably be hard, but with your experience, do you think you would have a chance elsewhere?

Wanna be Big.com - The Ultimate Weight Training and Bodybuilding Resource Bodybuilding.com - The Future Of Bodybuilding! Huge Bodybuilding Site. and totalburnout(ian) are my sources of info for lifting.

I'm pretty into lifting, and consider myself in ok shape. There have been numerous threads on this information already as well.

I like BodyBuilding.com. In fact, I ordered my ab sleeves from there.

*sigh* I found out about this already, unfortunately, and asked the mods that if they would like to close this thread or delete, please do so.

Strength Training Think Tank: Natural Strength I've been all over their training articles. Damn good info there.

Thanks for posting that link. I'm not sure if the rep went through, but I did try.

Luis998 · 03-24-2008, 01:20 PM

You know, it REALLY sucks when you enjoy going to the gym, working out, yet you can't go because you don't have a freakin' car! *sigh* I really hope to get one back today so I can go to the gym tomorrow.

E_SolSi · 03-24-2008, 01:28 PM

If I could, I would and that is not a bad idea. However, the gym is around thirty miles or so. It would take me an eternity to get there and back. Not to mention I am waiting to get paid to get a new pair of cross trainers. If you were to see the shoes I use for working out now you would probably laugh, then cry a little.

I've never been a runner because it hurts like hell to do so, though I would love to learn. Again, I need a new pair of shoes to even dive in to running.

reckedracing · 03-24-2008, 01:48 PM

if it hurts to run you should do a different cardio

no need to get knee surgery at 50 if you don't have to

get_nick · 03-24-2008, 01:58 PM

i'm 6'1", 175lbs, about 10% body fat. and i'm 28.

My reason for working out:
1)vanity. I like to look good, plain and simple
2)football. i play full contact football in a semi-pro league
3)modeling. yes, i model in my spare time. that's why B calls me zoolander.
4)health. i like to be able to move, be flexible, and throw around my gf when we mess around.
5)stress relief. no need to explain.

my workout:
i work on explosion and endurance right now. it is all based around football. take bench for example. i will lower it slowly, maybe a 3 count. then burst it up. it will improve my strentgh for what i need.

i do short cardio. mostly fast twitch stuff. sprints, lateral movements, shuffles and backpedalling. when i was getting cut, i was running/eliptical 45/min a day. lost a lot of weight but i was too skinny.

Food:
most of the time i just eat cereal for breakfast. a boiled egg or two for a snack. lunch is usually a sandwich, chips, and some veggies. dinner is usually steak/chicken, steamed veggies and brown rice. sometimes we'll eat spaghetti or something as a treat. i count calories and fat intake pretty well, but i try to stay around 1800 calories.

I have been lifting and working out for over 12 years so i am pretty knowledgable about fitness if you have any questions. i've been on bodybuilding.com for a while also. some good info there, but mostly a bunch of retards.
