No caffeine since last Wednesday. feeling good with out it:-)

:-) Good for you, Bro! Unfortunately, with my "weird" working hours I need it!:-)

back to gym tomorrow, no way I could have today w/ only 2 hrs sleep last night. Looking fwd to working out some stress/anger w/ school haha

:-)Looks like that would make some soreness go away. $10 is cheap too!

Ouch man two hours is rough. Oddly enough I have had some of my best workouts on little sleep. But then again, that may have been due to the fact I drank multiple energy drinks hahah.
I have one and use the one at the gym from time to time. I think it helps. For 10 bucks its worth a shot. I am sure everyone here has spent 10 bucks on worse.

sorry i havent been around guys life has been hectic, i subscribed to the thread so now i can keep coming back to it on my phone...

keep lifting heavy everyone!

Good to see you, Brother. :-)

upper body day today... can't wait!

Trying to lose weight, started working out and eating healthy, it's very hard when you've been out of shape as long as me, but i'm determined. Good luck for me

The hardest part of getting back in shape is turning it into a habit and feeling bad when you can't get in...

If there's any advice you need we are all here more than willing to help.

How about a list of what the acronyms for exercise's mean? I follow the thread some as I am doing the at home gym but sometimes can't figure out what you guys are talking about:-) Watching what I eat and working out 3 times a week, I'm down 15 pounds and have gained noticeable muscle (chest and arms) in 4 months. Need to start shoulders/back, legs, and especially lower back (it always bothers me from sitting all day)

Steve for lower back I would concentrate on your core.

Anything specific? Crunches?

Perry is right... Core, core, core!

If you workout at home grab yourself a exersise ball and do core strengthening exersises.

Give yoga a try too...

this is a website that has most of the exercises that I did in PT after my back surgery.

Appreciate it, altho i'm not sure i've ever been in shape (maybe when i was 13-14 and active), but i want to be healthy and not get diabetes and lower my risk of any other fat guy related stuff.

I've been doing my own version of the beginners exercises on http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/beginner.html

Basically I've got to start slow, every time in the past i've tried to start, i couldn't stick to it because i would go to hard and say "Screw this", so i'm kind of doing my own thing. We'll see how it goes, thanks for the offer tho

I definitely don't love to work out, but i've only been doing it for a week or so now, but i definitely feel aWESOME after doing it, so hopefully this will be what gets me off my ass to do it :P

Consistency is key. set short and long term goals. plan times to take away from the gym. remember the mind can get fatigue too!

Hope all is ok zeme, let me know.

2nd the advice thing. Anything ya guys want to ask I say shoot. Granted you may spark a huge debate due to the different training styles and methods each of the members use. but I personally think reading through the workout debate banter is a great way for guys new to it all to get a good idea of all aspects of training. its all trial and error sometimes. See or hear something new, give it a go. If it doesnt work oh well. If it does then you are 1 step ahead.

Everything is a bit better thanks frank...
Debate? I thought we came to the conclusion I'm always right! :-)

On serious note frank is right about the differnt training theories and styles that you can pick up here...
