about resting between sets, isn't the general rule to rest just enough to be able to complete the succeeding set? 2 min does seem a bit short, especially if the weight you're lifting is near the max weight you can handle...do you feel like you can complete the next set with the current amount rest? i think that's what you should always ask yourself before moving on to the next set.

anyway i had a eureka moment at the gym today with the overhead press. i thought i had the form down and all after having some 10-15 odd sessions of overhead pressing, turns out i was wrong.

during warm ups i pressed the bar overhead and i just knew i finally got the technique right. yay! but man if i had only been doing the exercise with this form from the get go i'd proly be pressing more weight right now. oh well.

No, it won't last well over an hour though it should last thereabouts.

1-2 min rest is not enough... hence why none of you are seeing the linear progression gains talked about by Rip and other people

What are your primary goals? Just to lose 6 pounds? What's the timeframe?

What do you have? Gym access? BBs, DBs? Can you cook your own food? What's your diet like?

Just off of what you posted I can tell you that eventually you need to run either more miles or run faster, and that it's impossible to spot reduce (crunches won't burn the fat solely in your stomach. if they burn fat at all.)

Well, as I mentioned I'm still not at my max with any of the lifts, so I am going up in weight every session, I guess the weight increase will naturally force me to have longer breaks as I approach my max.

my primary goal atm is to slowly lose the fat in that area like I did when I did track. all I did was run back then and it disappeared pretty much. dont care about pounds, just want alot of fat gone in that area. its getting to the point where im worrying if i'll soon get moobs.
time frame... a month or 2 for some results at least?

no gym access atm, no bbs/dbs

yes i can cook my food but i prob wont make a whole diet. i dont really eat unhealthy or anything, just the normal rice/sidedishes (im asian) or occasionally some pasta. chicken or some kind of meat like once a week. i actually ate a shitload and had lots of snacks in korea, as i had lotsa money to spare and i wanted to make the best of it lol

hmm is 2miles per day too little? its kinda tough already for me since im rly outta shape compared to before.
if not crunches, what should I do?


You simply ate more than you burned when you were in Korea on a daily basis. Just eat less, and/or burn more, to lose the fat. There's no magic workout that'll spot-reduce the fat around your belly.

Two miles is not a lot, maybe 200 calories, iirc.

2x410. POW POW
Finished up with 4x6x185 barbell rows, 3x8 chin ups, weighted abs and then a good running session of intervals. I feel phenomenal today, such a good workout. Riding the endorphin high as i destroy a pound of marinated chicken and wash it down with some protein.

hey guys, dunno if this has been covered yet, but i'll ask anyway. I want to be able to run 5 miles in ~45minutes by the end of the summer. and i'm wondering how to do i go about accomplishing this. Currently I can consistently do 3 miles in a little under 30 minutes. after that my legs start getting tired and I can't keep up the pace. the goal of this is to get in shape and be fit (and hopefully lose some stomach fat). I currently do cardio 3 times a week (either running for 30 minutes to see how far i can go or biking 20-35 miles on pretty flat terrain) and lift weight 2 times a week. i'm 20, 5'7", and 140 lbs. thanks in advance.

edit: some dietary info: I eat a lot. like i can eat as much as a 6 feet guy. my metabolism is quite fast, which is why i'm only 140 lb.

False, you probably just aren't eating enough. This phrase is a common pet peeve of mine :p

ah ok, whats the best way to burn calories?
that seems ridiculously small... 100 calorie per mile

cant think of anything else which i could easily do around my neighborhood


If you want to burn fat, your best bet is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), a quick google search will hook you up with the basics.

Anyone here does crossfit?

I just moved last month and joined a crossfit gym. I had been doing weights for a couple of years and wanted to do something else.

It's a great way to exercise!! - and a lot more fun than lifting (at least for me)
