Hey Fitness Era, looking at strengthening my rear deltoids more, having a hard time feeling exercises that isolate them. Advice appreciated. I feel like every muscle compensates for them in my rows and I just don't feel like they're being hit as much as they should be. Had a trainer help me improve form in rows but just don't ever feel like progress there. Feel it more on reverse pec deck/rear delt machine but one machine doesn't really make a good program for me.

Brave soul eating it without syrup

Never posted in here before but just wanted to share.
Been really working on getting into shape the last 6 months. I'm 6'1" and had a starting weight of 210 pounds. I just hit 185 pounds as of yesterday.
Its been a combination of things. Eating healthier, walking 5-10 miles a day, free weights, punching bag, tons of water and intermediate fasting.
Can believe how great I feel and how addicted I am to this new lifestyle. I am stronger, faster and have a ton of energy to play with my kids.
Well thanks for listening...

This is dope, did you just a get any punching bug and are now doing HIIT stuff with it?
And 10 miles is no joke, I wish my suburbs had places to go.
What sorcery is this
Great job! I was 200 pounds before, most of my life. Then I started running and within three months I was 140 pounds. I needed to get some meat on me so I decided to hit the gym and now I'm maintaining 165 and hope to sculpt out a Greek figure in me. Good job in realizing and accepting this as a lifestyle and not just a goal thing. Keep it up!Never posted in here before but just wanted to share.

Well, I'm tired of feeling tired so a couple weeks ago I stopped drinking any calories and decided on going with a regimented meal plan for breakfast and lunch. Supper I'm much less restrictive on because I know my wife won't stand for chicken and rice. I'm also doing 30 minutes of cardio a day. 3 days a week of running (none To run plan) and 3 days a week on a recumbent bike just to make sure I'm not going too hard on high impact running right off the bat. I'm not currently doing anything on Sundays. The plan is to diet and cardio down to 170 (from 205) and then start strength training. I don't have my strength training planned out yet as I'm unsure about how to get enough flexibility to squat properly (I definitely have ankle and hip mobility issues from a desk job and gaming habits while growing up). I have never been an athlete (always been a bit chubby) so this is all new to me.
Cutting out the coffee with milk and sugar has already led to some positive energy gains so I've been enjoying a much more stable energy level.
I finally tried barbell squat and OMG I'm addicted. I can't explain it, but if feels so good.

Fantastic. Keep it up, getting started is always the hardest part.
In regards to mobility have a peek at this:
If you happen to find running a bit hard on your knees which is more than normal for people that are trying to lose weight try speedrope instead if running is your goal. Far less impact, great for heart health, and helps people get closer to running whilst carrying extra weight and helping improve conditioning.
Reading all these impressions from people who are just getting started is awesome. Keep it at champ! :)
My journey was largely the same, although I suffered from severe underweight most my life, and what changed it for me, was drinking the extra calories.
Did you do squats with dumbbells before, or was this your first squat?
Let me see those abs brotherBeen about a year since my last picture.
Not much progress but still relatively in good health.
Visceral fats just won't go :/
I'm 185 cms tall (6'1") for 93 kgs (205lbs) and around 14% body fat
PS it shows I hate taking pictures :/
They're hidden by all the fat :(
Recipe?
Does anyone here box? How do you treat skin peeling? Do you box if your knuckles are raw?
Someone else wraps them for me
I turn 30 today and was curious what the most common tests i should ask the doctor for to check my overall health, what should i ask for?
Is there a way to test what nutrients i'm lacking and need supplements for?

Happy birthday.
Cholesterol, resting heart rate, blood pressure, blood work for deficiencies. They are your standard tests.
If you can ask for a lung health, elevated heart rate, VO2, metabolic rate, body water, bone mass, body fat. You can do all of these yourself but health professionals have much better tools however not done by standard doctors unless there is a specific need.
If you have private health care just ask for the full works and they will do all the disease related stuff as well.

Eat properly, train adequately, sleep plenty
What's your goal as of now? Muscle mass? Weight loss? Fat loss?Third day back to the gum and I still couldnt do 3 sets of anything lol, by the time I reached planking i almost threw up again so i had to skip it (thankfully that was my last thing so I did the rest of my workout) so I think I may have to disagree with my training routine and do 2 sets for everything. I'm still so shaky after hahaha
My form feels weird with people watching (small gym) and I kinda feel like an idiot. Plus side though I'm already feeling my efforts, my body feels a bit better and I have some muscles. Plus with dieting i lost 7 pounds since my last doctor appointment so calorie counting has really made a difference
Weight loss and tone. Kinda want a swimmers body kinda thing. My intro to the gym gave me a schedule of 3 sets of squats, lunges, kettlebell dead lift, push ups, pull ups, and 30 seconds of planking. I'm 6 3 at 202 pounds currently and before recently I've had a garbage diet with no excerise and I started changing lifestyle about 5 weeks agoWhat's your goal as of now? Muscle mass? Weight loss?

Gym i have doesnt have a pool and theres no pools around me so unfortunately I can't lol. I know im not heavy, I've been blessed with a good matabolism but I have eaten garbage most of the time. I have body image issues mostly from low self esteem but I'm working on that too. I'm doing my best to work on myself in alot of places and being active makes sense to meYou are not that heavy to begin with for your height at all. Sounds funny but actually swimming is a great great way to slim down. I used to swim many times a week as well. Super full body workout and gets you lean and burns a shit load of calories.
