Tell HGF Things

Running is the best. If you run for about 15-20 minutes everyday, you can eat whatever the fuck you want. Well, at least that's how it is for me.

Try for cardio 2-3 days a week (aim for 40 min to an hour if you can) plus weights 2-3 days a week on separate days. Eat regularly, but no too much (only eat big to get big). 5-6 small meals a day as opposed to 3 larger ones. Adequate carbs before working out, but good carbs, not refined carbs. Wait a good hour or so after eating or you wont digest properly. Protein after working out (don't get sugary supplements, check the labels). Take a good multi-vitamin everyday, lots of fresh fruit and veggies.

You must include fat in your diet too, but not saturated or trans. Like carbs, not all fats are created equally. They are important for making hormones which in the long-run, will good for your metabolism and making muscle. This is what's meant by a balanced diet. Follow the pyramid they taught you in school.

When lifting, usual rules; lift enough to do 10-12 reps per set for 3 sets (as Wilbur said, not too heavy though). Don't over work muscles either. Allow for rest. This is the part when they grow. Make sure to work ALL muscles too, not just the ones that 'look good'. More over-all muscle tone=faster resting metabolism.

The rest should fall into place

GOD...I don't remember the last time I wore a 30 inch waist

the only problem is (I dunno if anyone else has this) but they get bored as fuck while working out, I do which makes it tough for me 2 continue but so far so good

Thats why I lift weights, because running and shit is boring.

It's always good to have a friend there or to be listening to music
Makes it all go faster
Today was the first day I worked out in forever..
And I feel like shit right now

Haha, I wear a 32 inch waste right now comfortably, and I'm not fat or anything by any means. I'm 5'10'' 160 pounds. But, I was at 150-155 for the past 5 years of my life and now, all the sudden, I've gained like 5 lbs and I don't want to keep gaining. Plus, I could use a little more definition and such.

Thanks for the regiment, Lamer, I'll try and follow that. I just have a problem with discipline and following a set schedule like that for too long. I figure if I do anything, I'm doing a lot more than what I was doing before, so it's gotta benefit me. I just don't really care if I'm actually strong or anything, you know. Just want to at least look good.

I need to start running again. I quit because of a foot injury, but that's been weeks ago.

Exercising and drinking lots of water makes me feel amazing.

I pray to God that I'll be able to run again
But ever since my leg fucked up...
I can barely walk

Ray, I'm 5'9" and weigh 180lbs.

Yeah, but it's all muscle. I'm just a lanky ass.

That isn't always a good thing, I can't run for shit, and if I do it kills my knees and ankles.

I know exactly how you feel man

My right knee is completely fucked from attempting a tailwhip on a bike (my foot slipped from between the tire and fork and collided into the gooseneck).

Pretty strange way to get injured, I know Damn bike didn't have front brakes...

Oh, and I should point out that was like 4 years ago...just goes to show how little things can have big consequences. Funny thing is, I've done so many stunts that have left me vulnerable to much worst injury and nothing ever happened that was that bad.

I'm like 6'3" and weight 203lbs.

I feel like the BFG... except I WILL rape you.

I usually start my workout with a brisk walk, when I go from my computer to the kitchen to grab a beer.

I then punish myself with a harsh upper-body routine. A lot of people swear by weights, but I find cracking open a few bottles of Carlsberg does the trick.

Then it's another marathon back to my room; and I do an upper-body cool-down by bashing one out.

YOU TOO CAN HAVE RESULTS LIKE MINE, RAY.

just found out mike nelson from MST3K grew up about 15 minutes from where I live

LMFAO, beautiful.




We weigh the exact same

He's my hero

He's proper let himself go since the series ended, though.

Totally agree, I get so bored from running that I almost want to punch the treadmill, so I stick to only 15 minutes of cardio before weight lifting to warm myself up nicely.





On average it takes you a month for something to become a habit, stick it out for a month and a healthier lifestyle will become a way of life. If you are looking to gain a fair amount of muscle then be aware you will gain weight as muscle is heavier than fat and you will gain some fat as when you eat big your body will pack on a little of everything. What I love about working out is that up to 90 minutes after pounding weights, you can eat almost whatever the fuck you want and your body will use it solely for your muscles (provided you eat relatively clean).

lol same

have you seen that rifftrack thing he's in now?

How tall are you?

6"3ish

I feel like absolute shite, ill, tired and at work

Just handed in my first uni essay with exactly two hours until the deadline.

I started it this morning.

And I wanna be forever young, I wanna be forever young, do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

Watchin' Arthur. So oldskool.

Lol I just didn't go in and didn't do it
