Power lifter? Bodybuilder? come on in!

[Monchy36]

Ok! This is going to be a journey with no final day... I'll be coming here on a daily basis explaining my daily routine, what body part I work, exercise I did, reps, weight and time I took to workout...

Every Friday I'll post a photo of myself so I can see the progress I'm making... right now:
My weight: 194 lbs
My height: 5'9"
My age: 42 years
My body fat: 20.3%

I'm not looking to lose weight, I will not diet(but I'll try to control my eating habits and eat more healthy) my daily workout time will be between 35 to 45 minutes, not much resting between sets...

Anyone who like to join me is more than welcome! Ideas, tips, any information is welcome to! What the heck! I little trolling doesn't hurt either!
Here's a photo where I'm now...

PS: add before starting exercise...

This is a family site, so therefore I can't put pictures of my nasty fat ass up here, it'd scare all the women, children, seniors, and moderators.

But, I went and bought my veggies today. Fresh food, two days worth at a time since I pass right by Publix on the way home from school.

So I'm with you, and good luck.

good luck. those are old school supplement routines. the key is less calories in, would grab a current muscle magazine and look at supplement recommendations. again wish you the best, don't over due it.

Great idea and going "public" will be great motivation. Good Luck

You mean supplement advertisements don't you?

I'm just poking. I had a subscription to Muscle and Fitness and a few others for a few years and the ads will kill you. Half the magazine.

But, I actually reordered Muscle and Fitness like a month ago, so some time this month I should start getting it again. Been well over a decade. I think it helped in mixing up my routine. I'd add exercises and stretches or swap them in that I saw each month.

hahaha good point, yes ads everywhere!! plus you're right additional routines keep it fresh.

[Monchy36]

I was going to post every day routine but that a lot of typing! so I'll keep it simple...

1/14/2014: biceps/triceps- 36 minutes (10 second rest between sets)

1/15/2014: back- 41 minutes (3 supersets, 30 seconds rest between supersets 8 second rest between reps)

1/16/2014: shoulders- 38 minutes (2 supersets- 4 exercise each, 30 second rest between supersets, 8 second rest between reps)

this is great monchy!! All I have to say is dedication.. try and find things to motivate you. what goal do you want to achieve though?? you said not to lose weight so im guessing to become more fit? I will keep checking here.. I think 2014 is going to be a great year.. I work out a lot and since I was here deployed and we had almost no good exercise machine, we had to resort to old school lifting..

Keep it up!

No! Would rather drink beer and eat pizza.
