  Enjoy it while you can ;) Most people obtain results very quickly when they first start lifting, after a while you will have to work really hard at it. And what you eat is just as if not more important as lifting. Sounds like your naturally skinny, so you will probably want to increase those calories "not junk, good stuff and lots of it" and lift heavy " heavy= as much weight as you can do 6 to 8 reps with proper form "  

  BTW dont forget the warmup set before you rack that bar to the point of breaking :)

  And dont use kieren as an example of proper way to do biceps curls :D

6'4" 280 lbs. currently with a 40" waist and to damn much body fat. :D

Goal for the day our 2nd child is due:

250 lbs. and ~10-15% body fat.

Here is my workout schedule also.

Monday:
2 miles on the track plus playing basketball then into the gym for full lower body workout (quads, hamstrings, calfs).

Tuesday:
basketball again with only abdominal work and stretching.

Wednesday:
Full Upper body workout then 2 miles on the track.

Thursday:
basketball plus taking my son's soccer team through practice.

Friday:
Heavy Weight low reps upper and lower body workout.

Saturday and Sunday are light days with running only due to coaching the soccer team and then having plenty of church activities to deal with on Sunday.

This is my "get my butt" back in the gym workout. After being out of the gym since 1998 this has been a real eye-opener. I woke up this morning and could not straighten my arms out because I finished up with my bicep workout. I was laughing my butt off till my wife reached down and pulled them straight. My son had just walked into our bedroom and he was laughing at me for not being able to straighten my arms out even with my pushing with my opposite hand.

Creamo-

Yeah, it was pathetic, sorry 'bout that. Still, as a never-was I struggle to prove to myself I have some value left as the virile young stud my wife married.

Anyway, I found this thread far more positive and constructive than the average AH flamefests we've had as of late. YMMV.

It may be "gay" but it is a hell of a lot better than trashing each other in text as we tend to do in these forums. It also is a good thing to find out who you might trade some ideas on different workouts with. As usual Dowding your input has been noted and cast aside. (Lets see here my tongue in cheek and sarcasm meter are fully pegged out here I hope that he gets it!)

Thanks for participating and we'll see you in the AH skies hopefully sooner than you want. :D

Reschke,

Where did you play college ball?

And to you on that little accomplishment. No small thing to play at that level, I don't care if it's Division 3 or NAIA.

BTW the Nightmares have a former Pro in our squad. He was with the Qakland Invaders (remember them?).

>Kieren, was that a 25 or 45 lb. bar? Not bad! I'm doing 45's on
>each side, but with a 25lb. bar (Total weight 115) on a Curling
>support bench (to prevent bad form)

lol rip, 35 pounders each side on a 10 pound curl bar on a curl bench. With a 45 pund bar I've had two 25 pounders on before but Im rocking and thus cheating a bit. Kieren is pretty strong for an older guy. He should be out picking up on 20 year olds not coaching them :P

PS: I never said I was superman.

Tah Gut,

I played college ball here in my home state (Alabama) at UAB from 1991 through 1994. I was on the first NCAA sanctioned team back then and we were all a bunch of almost Division 1A players that got promised scholarships in two years. We moved up to Div. 1AA in 1993 and everyone that stuck it out for those first two years got a full or 3/4 scholarship. Of the first day in 1991 the freshman class was 100 players with others like me coming out of junior college filling in the other 40 or so spots.

When I came out of junior college I had three years left due to a medical redshirt. I got redshirted in 1993 for an ankle injury that caused me to have surgery on it (I don't know how they got me another year of eligibility but they did). Plus I tore my right ACL off my femur in 1991.

I never made it past the try outs on campus for the NFL, CFL, NFL Europe and then a couple of years ago for the XFL. The XFL was just because I thought I could do it again. I do remember the USFL team that Oakland had. Here in Alabama we had the Birmingham Stallions and they were loaded with some players that went on to the NFL and did really well.
