This gym is for everyone. If you are underweight and want to gain mass, you belong here. If you are over weight and want to lose fat/add muscle. You belong here. If you are already fit. Id appreciate your help.
Now. You will find me in FPH threads being a dick to FP. In the gym I will not. I don't like fat people, but if you want to get fit, while we are here, I won't talk shit and I wont allow others to either.
There are no hardgainers and you aren't big boned. It's your diet. Period. I fell for the hardgainer thing. It's bullshit. I haven't been eating enough of good nutritional food nor working hard enough to turn that into muscle. Period. I can lie to myself and blame my metabolism or I can be honest w myself. I do not eat enough. And if you're fat, sorry, you eat too much and work too little. These are the hard facts we all must face.
I've purchased a food scale and for a little while I'm weighing out everything. I know for a fact that the shake I just drank had 680 calories and 40g Protein. I know exactly how much that chicken, rice, and broccoli my lunch is worth. Eventually Ill be able to look at a chunk of chicken and say ' thats about 100g of chicken' and I won't weigh it anymore.
We'll talk about the work plenty. But we must address how much and what we are eating.
I'm 25% body fat so I better start acting like it. That's what the BIA scale says. Obese.
Been trying out different things. If the machines aren't lieing, the elliptical is by far the easiest way to 'burn calories'. Stair machine seems the fastest.
Weighted vests can be used with a stair machine but even with an elliptical the bouncing motion causes the weight to double down on your shoulders. Made my shoulders hurt for like 25 minutes afterwards. Stair machine doesn't do that.
Weight vest will allow 300 calories to take 21 minutes instead of 24 on the elliptical... Stair machine can do this without the vest in 21, I believe 18 with the vest?
