or just drink more milk. you are trying to get more muscular and stronger, not fatter.

I think my body's limit of milk intake is around 1L a day unfortunately. I'll give it a shot with a lot more Lactaid pills and see how my body reacts.

How are you drinking it?

I find it a lot easier to get through a bunch of milk if it's in a glass vs the jug. Granted I don't have glasses at home so I swig of my jug =[. If you're also trying to do the whole gallon in a 2-3 hour time span it makes it kind of hard.

Those are my experiences at least.

anyone know of any good fat buring exercises that don't involve jumping around or having high impact.

Reason being is that my floor is very off and when I do thigns like jumping jacks the room shakes. So I can't really do stuff like that.

I've been doing some stuff with bands and it has been ok but not very effective. I've lost maybe 20lbs in the past 6 weeks. I want to lose a lot more.

Anyone have ideas?

Thanks

Like body weight exercises? Check out the general training thread, it has body weight exercises under one of the sections. I believe the general idea is to get a doorway chin-up bar and rings so you can do the intense exercises.

If not body weight, lifting heavy weights a la Starting Strength is a great way to lose fat. And of course, losing fat is mostly diet based. Count your calories and all that.

Lastly, 20lbs in 6 weeks seems like quite a bit- be careful you are still being healthy! Training is a process, not just a couple weeks or months.

I've heard people in this forum advise getting 1 gram/lb of bodyweight of protein each day. Does that include people who are significantly overweight? I'm lifting weights, but I'm definitely a beginner as of yet, and I weigh over 200lb still. Should I be eating 200+ grams of protein each day? That's a lotta chicken!

According to fitday, I've been averaging ~135 g/day for the past couple months, but it's been slowly decreasing to ~120g/day.

Yes, you should still eat 1g/lb. Eating lots of protein will help keep you sated and is also beneficial when you're trying to lose weight due to various other reasons. Some even say you should eat even more protein when trying to lose weight but shoot for 1g/lb for now.

I know that chalk improves grip and all that great stuff but I'm wondering, does it also prevent callouses or is it impossible to prevent them when lifting heavy?

Losing weight is 80-85% nutrition. Fix your diet. See the general nutrition thread or Paleo diet thread.

Also, do heavy weight lifting if possible... if you don't have access bodyweight exercises are OK but try to make them difficult. See the general training thread for more details.

Yes. Protein in general is thermogenic, and will also help in any lean body mass gains you're getting from lifting as well. It helps. Cut protein if you need to as you get leaner. Just make sure to drink enough water.

If you were about 130 lbs and trying to gain weight to 180 lbs I'd say to eat 180g/day.

When I'm lifting I generally increase weight as I go along. For example, when I bench press I will do 3 sets of 8 reps increasing the weight by 5 pounds between each set. The only warmup I do for the exercise is maybe do the bar 10 times or so.

My question is would it be better to do 135 pounds for 3 sets or is it okay to do 130, 135, 140?

I find that I tend to feel stronger after 1 or 2 sets and mentally it's more comfortable for me to say, "I'm not THAT tired, I can add a few more pounds."

This really is just personal preference. Long time ago I mostly did the 130/135/140 thing, but by now I just find it so much easier to track progress with the same weight across all sets. I find it just a little bit easier to evaluate: no need to think about how much weight I should add between sets, no temptation to do more if I feel strong or to do less because I feel lazy and weak that day. I always seem to run into some kind of trouble when I do sets with increasing weights. But if you can be strict about your work-sets, there should not be much of a difference in results either way.

It is impossible to prevent calluses. However, check out those two videos if you are worried about them. First one is how to grip the bar correctly and the second one is about how to take care of your hands.

Sup guys, going to try to become great warrior, like Thor. I've never done an ounce of gymming activity in my life, and I asked around my friends to see what they would recommend. Don't want to hit the gym so I would like to buy some basic equipment. Apparently I'm supposed to get a set of adjustable dumbbells, and a barbell as well. Anyone know of any good products in these categories? Money is no issue (to a point), as long as I'm paying for quality.

Get a good power rack, a good adjustable bench, olympic barbell and a few hundred pounds of weight.
All in all will cost you 1000AUSD or more.
Post some good australian fitness stores and i'll see if i can find the right stuff.

^This is a good setup there. The adjustable dumbbells are personal preference I suppose based on what exercises you plan on doing but I would consider an EZ Curl bar if it is easier on your wrists for Bicep/Tricep exercises. They are also great for seated calve raises!

How long can one expect the novice effect to last? That is to say, increasing weights with each workout going just under the reccomendations Rip makes in the book Starting Strength? I know it'll vary but generally, how many weeks can a healthy but untrained 26 year old male (me, natch), expect to keep upping the weights?

Depends on how much you eat and how well you sleep. For me, I've progressed to 265x5 DL without having failed a set so far. And even if you miss once or twice, as long as you're getting it by your 3rd try, you're making progress. I'd never done DLs before starting SS 2 months ago.

Also depends on how much your weight & height is (165->175 lb & 5'11)
