Post subject:  A crazy idea i came up with

Mind over matter, a fact I've come to accept. I'm very paranoid about my weight. The slightest weight gain I'm like shit, lol.

so I decided as of today, I'm just not gonna look at it. I'm working out everyday, and watching what I eat! With my mind less on it, more weight should drop.

Lets not waste time, improve your knowledge and make sure you do it right.

> Your Overall Aim - Once you know what you want to achieve long and short term, set yourself Realistic objectives to meet.

* You need to asses your nutrition, this is the number one most important factor, you need to eat correctly as well as train.

* Training must be appropriate and you must have a plan to follow.

* Don't Be a Scale Junkie!
If you live and breath by the numbers your Scale spits out every morning, I have news for you. These numbers don't mean anything! Well, actually they mean too much. Your body weight takes everything into consideration: muscle, fat, bones, organs, etc. That is exactly why you need to ignore your weight according to the scale.

I currently read 190lbs on the scales ...Wooooooah but guess what I'm 11% Body fat! Body Composition is what you want to focus on, that's the important factor.

Research, Research, Research.

the only reason one should care about weight is if they are in a contest involving weight or weight classes (wrestler, mma, boxer, horse jockey, ect). otherwise its all bmi. how much muscle you have and for your personal concern, your body fat percentage. weight fluctuates throughout the day tremendously.

for instance, i weigh in when i get to the gym, and when i leave. after drinking a bunch of water and forcing oxygen into my body i can gain up to a 5lb difference from when i walked in to when i walked out. try it for yourself and see.

just watch your diet and workout regularly, then get a professional body fat check once a month. many large gyms will give you one per month as part of a membership package

Yo guys! Thanks for the advice. I'm working out six days a week currently. Not working same muscles, but its all planned out. I decided to go all natural, and not use anything from GNC. figure it might be healthier. My goal is to be 185 by June 8th. Currently right now I'm 204, used to be 179 in September.

Nonesense..It's not all BMI - Your BMI is not always that accurate and it tells you nothing about your body fat percentage.

"Body mass index is a calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate how much body fat you have." - Normally a high BMI reading is assumed to be that fat levels are too excessive however not in all cases because Body Mass Index calculations don't take Muscle Mass or anything else inside the body into consideration, just like Weight Scales.

It's all Body Composition

Muscle weighs heavier than fat, chances are u've probably but both on if your using weights.

6 Days a Week is ridicious and so unnecessary, your probably doing more harm than good and wasting your own time. Advanced Bodybuilders don't even train that a week.

6 days is too much. 5 days is too much. 4 days is reasonable but 3 days a week for weights is better - Depending on your level.

Even if you say that you aren't working the same muscles each day it's still pointless, there is no need for isolation exercises.

You want to be focusing on the following - However not all at once.
Long Distance Running
High Intensity Interview Training
Compound Lifts (Bench, Press, Deads, Sqaut)

woah chill out bro. i meant to say body fat percentage. but a bmi is a much more accurate reading of your body composition than a scale. and the differences in bmi readings will shed light on ones progress. it may not be the most accurate, but i dont think giovanni needs to know his EXACT fat to muscle ratio. a rough estimate will work fine

everything else different cloud said i agree with.
