Appreciate you guys taking the time to comment,even though they are strongly opinionated but i do enjoy the criticism. Yes i know my lack of knowledge on this topic gets me confused. While some people say do this and others say do that. As BP is claiming he's been there done that stuff and did not work for him, well i guess it didnt work for him. On the other hand, i know people who followed the routine i am following at the moment and their results have been impressive. Lets see if it works for me or not, only time will tell. I can't keep switching my routine. Ill keep y'all updated with results @chairohkey IMO , i do not think theres anything wrong with that. You are saying you have done everything perfect from the first time? Also that you have taken every single piece of advice given to you ? Its a forum, im sure asking for an opinion is no big deal. Theres nothing wrong in getting a different angle on things. Maybe the program i am doing does suck, i do not seem to be getting the results i want then i know i was wrong and ill follow BP's advice. As i said time will tell. @sloth! Can't wait to start implementing these

Thanks for the input as i said i already have a program to follow! First week on this and it has been intense! This is has been my workout this week and i will be following it for the next 3 weeks. Then a slight modification after that..

As i said this has been an intense week, sore muscles :/ I am going to following this for the next 3 weeks. Then a slight change around. This is my second attempt at weight training(im a noob ) I tried it out last year , got quite bored of it! But i loved this routine it mixes up the exercises really well and theres something new everyday. For those who want to know, i am following the muscle building foundation (MBF) program. And then i am going to be moving on to the main program after 11 more weeks. ITs called the adonis index and i highly recommend everyone to check it out, www.adonisindex.com @bruce! AWWWYEAH

I was reading her interview, she's been practicing yoga for about 15 years. That requires quite the skill, maybe someday we'll be able to achieve that

Im not looking for a radical transformation, the right direction is what i need. Ill post the routine of weight training i plan to follow later on Thats my waist at naval, my pant size is lower than that between 28-30

Well ive been away from the gym for the past 2-3 weeks due to exams, whenever possible i did some bodyweight exercises along with some mild yoga. Surprisingly i haven't lost any of my progress and i have been able to maintain my weight and muscle mass. Anyway back in november i had a competition with my friend, who would be looking the best April End. We have few of our friends who are going to be judging us. So theres no exact goal, but its mainly the same. Who can get to the lowest body fat % ? Who can back on more muscle? etc. Basically, i have 3 months and i need help setting out a workout routine. I have 4 hours every morning out which i can devote 2 hours to my workout. So time isnt an issue, plus i have a decent enough home gym so once again equipment isnt an issue. So what will get be the best results, I was thinking either start with some lifting. My friend lent me a decent program for beginners which contains the basic lifts and its 5day/week. Looks promising. Second option, to follow Convict Conditioning and to add some yoga to it. If you guys have any other ideas, please suggest. I was thinking i could combine the lifting program with some of the exercises of convict conditioning. Not going to be doing any cardio, as i have a good control over my diet ( mostly Paleo). I have good self-discipline so sticking to a specific routine isnt a problem. Stats:age: 18 Height 5'9, Weight 70kgs (154lbs) Waist: 32.5 inches ( planning on losing about 1 inch of my waist in 3 months) Main goals, Pack on some muscle, lower body fat %. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks

Due to the lack of time available in the mornings , i couldnt do my workouts. I had to switch them after i got home from work. This is when i turned to Yoga and the Tibetan Rites. Honestly theres no better way to start your morning. I was always skeptical about Yoga, but it has been a month and im loving it. Here this should get you started.. http://www.mkprojects.com/pf_TibetanRites.htm

FIrst of thank you for the kind words! Second my pants are staying where they are @grosby, i'm really inconsistent. I feel the need to change my diet/workout plan every couple of weeks. But i got maximum weight loss doing High intensity interval training(HIIT) along with some basic body fat workouts. For the diet, i kept switching. The first couple of months i was super strict, i ate clean completely clean. No sweets etc. The major things, which i recommend to everyone is intermittent fasting and avoiding carbs(mainly white carbs) . I hit a few plateaus here and there, but i just kept going and eventually over came them. @shortaik, yes it was magical. The sudden disappearance of the body hair Or or you can just get me a nerd fitness hoodie, to cover my body! @aj_rock. I'm a measly 5'9

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1234[/ATTACH] August 20th : Weight 82kgs , unfortunately i dont have my measurements December20th : Weight 69kgs. Waist 33inches Body fat % 17-18 Goal, june2012- Body fat % down to 10%

Thanks, i shall check it out. and how often would you recommend doing these? every day with a 2 day break? or every other day? etc?

This is my workout... 20 prisoner squats 10 push ups 20 lunges 10 pull ups 30 second plank 20 sit ups 30 jumping jacks 10 burpees. I repeat this cycle 3 times. This is fairly basic i guess. I really do wish to go to the gym and lift, but that is not possible as i have exams coming up in January. Also i do not want to stop working out and lost my form during the exams. Managing all this with work will be quite fun Oh i want january to skim through as fast as possible

Well i've been working out strong and my diet has been pretty great. Dropped 12 kilos over the past 4 months, and put on a little bit of muscle too. Making progress Started lifting a month and a half back, got some great results. Lately, i've been quite busy. Not so easy to manage work, studies, social life along with working out. Don't get me wrong , i do still work out but the intensity has switched. Previously, i use to spend a good hour -hour and a half lifting. followed by a 20 run. I use to do this every alternate day. But now do you to the lack of time , i switched the lifting part with a home body weight workout, which consists of (squats,pushups,lunges,plan,situps,jumping jacks and burpees) Which takes about 15-20 minutes to complete and depending on the time i have i add a run to it. This is again done every alternate day. I have a couple of questions, Is it possible to get good muscle definition by just doing body weight workouts? Also, whats the best type of body weight workouts? I've seen the advanced one on this site and a few other. Any recommendations are appreciated. I like following a particular workout, instead of creating my own. I have trouble doing that. Additional info : age:18, height:5'9 weight: 69kgs

Wow i cant do that, well i dont want to do that. A spoon here and there has to happen. I dont like to be very strict on my diet. After all its life you have to enjoy it I have going full paleo but my definition of it is completely different. Yeah i'm going to avoid 95% of the time but everyone has slip ups. As long as i get results its all good i feel

Yeah i guess so, the giving carbs part doesnt concern me as i have done it before. But giving dairy is going to be quite a task, but i'm up for it. One more thing, what should i drink after my workouts? I usually use to down 2 large glasses of 1%chocolate milk.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to be going Full Paleo, as Loren suggested. I'll introduce dairy later on, Cheers.

So i've read up on this, and might just make the switch. Or at least try it out for a month or so. My only problem is the dairy part? People who are on the paleo diet have you guys stopped having dairy? I live on dairy, about 2 glasses of milk and 2 bowls of yoghurt a day. EASILY. I currently weigh 150lbs (5'9). But i have been at this weight for 2 months now and it doesnt seem to get lower than this. Just need to lose a few more pounds to get my body weight% in single digits. So should i try the paleo diet without dairy? Its going to be super difficult to give up dairy Any advice on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
