I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

Eh, I like the 8-bit one with the old FF1 characters better.

The workouts start on Monday. I have a buddy who is already a member of the gym near me and goes to it as regularly as I plan to. He's offered to be my motivation/drill Sargent throughout the process. Given that I plan to do nearly all my exercises with free weights (for the very same reasons as Armando stated... because it's absolutely true) I'll be in need of a spotter anyway. I'm just lucky I've got a friend who has the time. Thanks L!

Wish I was that lucky.

Also, I forgot to mention that you should alternate your normal press and bench press. Your arms won't be able to do both on the same day.

Good call. I'll change that. Thanks.

Well for me, I'm about 5'8" and around 190-ish last I checked (my ideal weight is about 157) so I've got some work to do lol. I've started watching what I eat more closely and plan to use Raspberry Ketone (highly recommended by Dr. Oz btw) to help burn off more fat during workouts.

Raspberry ketone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When given to mice in very high doses (up to 2% of body weight), raspberry ketone has been shown to prevent high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight.[8] However, in another study in rats, no effects on body weight were observed with doses up to 200 times greater than the estimated intake in humans.[9] The high dose effect is reported to stem from the alteration of lipid metabolism, increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis.[10] Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, there is no clinical evidence for this effect in humans

As always, caveat empor.

Research has shown that raspberry ketone can help in your weight-loss efforts, especially when paired with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet of healthy and whole foods.

Research would most likely also show that mass murder can also help with your weight-loss efforts, especially when paired with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet of healthy and whole foods.

Brb, committing mass murder.

Day 1. Upper body 1: complete. I've got my weight all figured out. Currently eating a can of tuna over brown rice paired with a protein shake. Tomorrow is lower body 1.

LEAST FAVORITE EXERCIZE: lat pulldowns

FAVORITE: curls (still got it baby! 50lb curls!)

Just be careful you do not overdo it starts slowly and then slowly work up. You will start to feel it after a few days and you could get quite a bit of pain. So just take it easy and slowly work up over the next few months.

By the way, I am typing this without my hands, no I am not using my nose or cock, but have just spent the last two hours training my new Dragon speech software, which is going to help a lot in my sci-fi story writing as well as typing out those mundane specifications. It is actually working a treat which is a lot better than I thought it would.

I am typing this with my cock. That is all.
