I've not got a huge amount of weight to lose myself - maybe 15lbs - but I want to do it properly and keep the lean mass there so this all makes tons of sense - thanks.<BR/><BR/>My question: I used to do a lot of sport (soccer) and my lower body (legs especially) is still well developed and defined even though my upper half is on the wrong side of flabby. Do you think I should work the whole body anyway or just stick to upper body exercises?<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/>Chris over in the UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-77683562733406068102008-06-30T19:32:00.000-07:002008-06-30T19:32:00.000-07:00Hey Mich!

For instance, 211 means that, let's take the push up, it should take you two seconds to lower yourself, one second pause on the bottom, and one second to return back to the starting position. I hope this helps ...Muatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209630079415529943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-80180461776004776072008-06-26T12:12:00.000-07:002008-06-26T12:12:00.000-07:00What does: @333, @211, etc mean?What does: @333, @211, etc mean?Michhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898202278726987827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-14003502898114105282008-06-06T09:12:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:12:00.000-07:00I believe we are Shane!

When I was at 177, I looked, IMO, emaciated and didn't like the fact that I could actually see and feel my collar bone! So, that's why I changed my diet to add close to 10lbs of muscle. Anyway, if I ever want to develop more mass and less bodyfat, then I just finished reading a book that I'm recommending to anyone who wants to gain mass: Jason Ferrugia's <A HREF="http://mkamdibe.ferruggia.hop.clickbank.net/" REL="nofollow">Muscle Gaining Secrets</A>. It's written for the <I>Average Joe</I> in clear to understand terms.

Well, a friend recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad that he did because it helped me to work on me from the inside out. I've yet to read or buy any of his other products, so I can't vouch for them. However, I always recommend <I>Your Erroneous Zones</I> because of how it helped to change the way I see myself.Muatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209630079415529943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-28800738192148837072008-06-02T10:37:00.000-07:002008-06-02T10:37:00.000-07:00is there a single source that describes the body w...is there a single source that describes the body weight exercises you list here?gr8godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649486079705744450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-86611613698191398462008-06-02T09:09:00.000-07:002008-06-02T09:09:00.000-07:00Hey, I found your blog via the cnn article. I'm a...Hey, I found your blog via the cnn article. I'm a huge Cosgrove fan as well, and I currently use his and Lou Schuler's book for my workout routines. I do have a question for you if you don't mind. It sounds like we have both done about the same kinds of research over the years but I haven't found an answer to this question. When do you stop eating to lose fat (calorie deficit) and start eating to gain muscle (calorie surplus)? I'm 6'2" and about 190. I've been down to as low as 177 and about 11% body fat via calorie counting and weight lifting but I felt that I was just too skinny at that weight. I still wasn't single digits and people were telling me that they were worried about how skinny I was looking. My belly is still a little flabbier than I'd like but I don't want to be a waif. I'd like to put on some more muscle but I have always dreamed of the six pack. This tends to be my biggest hang up. Do I eat a small surplus or focus on a deficit?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, love the blog<BR/><BR/>ShaneShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232428478022226285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-17472356246966674442008-06-02T08:03:00.000-07:002008-06-02T08:03:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315571738029283207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-17681885200189956452008-06-02T08:02:00.000-07:002008-06-02T08:02:00.000-07:00Hello,I am really wanting to lose weight but my la...Hello,<BR/><BR/>I am really wanting to lose weight but my largest barrier to this is my own self motivation. I don't have any. I am not happy with my weight, but I truly lack the motivation to work on this myself.
