Weight Training For Beginners

[Never had any say Panda]

Best weight loss regime that isn't addictive = food poisoning. Shygella or equivalent.

punch a few cones before your workout - increases heart rate and metabolism and will make you thirsty for a protien shake.

a scoop of whizz would do the trick for weight loss if that's what you want but will kill your bulk.

for you night time meal I'd suggest a bottle of scotch, this ensures a day of rest

Glad your back on track then L Plate, good to hear

I do chest, bicep day 1, shoulders, try day 2, back, abs day 3 and a cardio day... then rest a day or 2, then back at it..

Anything else I should be doing/ not doing?

Yep, legs.

Quads, Hams, Calves, big big muscle groups there.

Leg press, donkey calf raises, lunges, deads.

unless you want to be like dick

"dick trains every day, dick trains chest and arms, dont be a chicken legged dick" look all out of proportion. or if youre planning on wearing jeans all summer you'll be right!

LOL, believe me I have legs.. Plus on the bike I go pretty hard and yea calf raises I do, lunges etc.. but I don't classify that as doing weights cause I don't use weights, 130+kg body weight is plenty after a few sets, don't have the equipment to do leg presses.. In fact my legs have developed more than the rest of the body...

Fair enough.

I'm a heavy vehicle diesel mechanic by trade. I like it and my job has some unusual and interesting equipment, but as far as trades go there's probably better ones to pick from.

[sexual harrassment panda]

sparkies get paid highest in most places and do the least work. 4 yr trade = 4 colour wires, so each year you learn to hook up 1 phase and in fourth year you get to eatrh sh!t . If I had my time again it would have been sparky or diesel fitter.

How did this go from gym advice to what work we wanted to do?
