I contemplated and finally started my non lifting working regime. Although I will cheat and bench and leg press.

1200 calories a day and burning 4500 in cardio a week. I'm about to incorporate a "core strength" workout once I get back down to highschool weight (190). I do allow myself one cheat day a week with the diet.

At 38 the days of maxing out on the bench are gone. I just want to be healthy again. Of course I have a recurring dream that I finally get in the best shape of my life, and get run over by a bus the next day...

hahaha lex ur dream is awesome.

i'm 26, and i haven't maxed out on anything in probably 2-3 years. i hit 350 on bench and said well that's good enough. doubt i cld do that rt now, but that's because my training went from wanting strength to wanting to be more ripped.

I maxed out at 330 in college (keep in mind that I was 5'9" and weighed about 215 at the time). All that early strength training left me with nothing but a set of man boobs....

I've spent the last 10 years of my life between 230 and 240. I have learned in the last year that restricting calories is really the only way for me to stay healthy.

I'll be perfectly honest, I was dragging this morning. I only ran a mile and a half in 12:57.

I would like to think it is because I am sick and on medicine but I keep telling myself how weak I am.

I'm sure you feeling sick and the meds, played a role in your time. Dont beat yourself up so much, at least you do some form of exercise.

That is the problem, I have to!

I need a circuit of push ups, sit ups, pull ups, mountain climbers and jumping jacks before running.

It cleared my nose out but I am dragging.

I still have to bench tonight when I am at work. You know that special lunch time activity!

I need to add some lifting to my exercise, throwing produce once a week doesn't always cut it. I'll never look like a body builder, some defintion would be nice. It would be nice if i could stick a 60ml syringe into my fat and suck it out.:)

That's why I do more incline. It keeps that bulk off and holds up better long term, at least that's what I read in Stallone's book.

I've wondered what I could max. Over the summer I could do bench w/ 100 lb dumbells 8 times. Have no clue what that would translate to.

I have no idea what my max is either. Don't really have the urge to know. I jsut started back working out on a regular basis in early Dec. It had been about 9 years for me. I do a balanced cardio/weights workout. Actually I probably do more cardio than lifting. I also work my abs pretty hard(almost every day). It seems to be coming back pretty quickly. I started off on bench with 3 sets of 12 at 100lb and have worked my way up to 3 sets of 12 at 155lb. My max when I graduated high school was 275. I still feel a ways off of that. I am only working my upper body 2 days a week. In high school I would do upper body 3 days a week.

I ran approx 14 miles Saturday, around 7 miles last saturday, and two weeks ago 16 miles. Anything over 13 miles my legs turn to jello and I have a hard time continuing.
