Apparently a frozen burrito helps a lot.

lol. It's not a bad meal to have....they range form 285 to mid 300's in calories...no transfat... and adding some pace picante sauce to dip it in...its not bad at all. As long as you don't eat 3 or 4 at one sitting, you're ok.

They say going through a normal routine, your body burns around 2000 calories a day.

By the way, I'm down to 179. I'm disappearing.  Hard to believe that 7 years ago I weighed 210lbs. Rediculous. And I still have a gut.

I'm pretty sure that taking workout/diet advice from a 19 year old doesn't make a lick of sense. Anything and everything you do when you're that age gets you into shape/builds muscle. Anyone who's fat at 19 isn't trying.

Considering I've done the same weight lifting/training/agility program on and off for the last 3 years, yeah I'd say I know what I'm talking about. Especially considering I've put on 8 pounds of (mostly) muscle in the last 4 months since I got on it again. And that's without doing squats. Which is the best way to put on weight if you're trying to gain.

At 19 your body still has an influx of hormones aka testosterone and a bit of growth hormone - not to mention your metabolism should be throught the roof. Once you're 25 your body will start to slow down, by the time you're 30 if you don't have a good diet along with some exercise you'll pack on pounds fast. And in case you're thinking to yourself "I'm different"...you're not.

Oh I know all that is true. I'm definatley not looking forward to the day that my metabolism slows down. As a 19 year old I really can't say shtein about things diet wise, because I could (and do) have the worst diet in the world and it really doesn't matter at this age. I was just talking in terms of weight lifting/training. The program I've been on isn't suited just for young teens-early 20's. The guy who set it up is in his 30's now and still does it, though once you hit stage 4 I'm not sure where you go from there. I'm still back in Stage 2 of it again since I keep slacking off. I am putting up 190 on my 3rd set of 5 right now though, which is a weight I havn't been able to bench since my junior year.

My favorite way to gain muscle weight is definately squats, but if you don't do them for a while it's a pain (literally) to get back into them. Especially since I have no athletic incentive to do them, I don't play a sport anymore so I have no reason to want to be more powerful/explosive/fast.

For big gains try reading Mark Rippetoe's book. A couple guys at my gym similar to you do his routine and have made gigantic gains.

Definately will check it out. I've been hovering at 165-172 for about a year now, I'd like to get up to 180-185. I gotta start running again though so I don't get even slower then I've already become. I miss being fast.

Eat more cheesesteaks, drink more beer and quit acting like women, the lot of you.

it really is awesome to be a dude

There's nothing more embarrassing than going out to eat or party with you buddies and they waste time actually looking over the menu for something lo-cal.

A buddy of mine does that and it's infuriating.  We'll be getting ready to watch the Eagles at the pub and he'll be pissing and moaning because the waitress brought him regular italian dressing instead of the low calorie shtein.

What a flag.

[SunMo]

i'm serious when i say this...you need to knock whatever is in front of him on the floor and mock him for all the bar to see

i don't care how far into a diet i am, when i'm out at a bar...it's body-wreckin time

[Rome]

He gets a beer and an ice water to go with each beer to stay hydrated.  He also pitches a fit whenever the waitress has the gall to put lemon in it.

Swear to god.

We should toss him a beating just for the lemon thing but no one seems to care enough to get upset anymore.  We do mock him a lot, though, but after awhile it's like making fun of retards or AIDS patients.  Where's the sport, ya know?

Dieting is for women.

Exercise is for men.

Beer is for me. Hands off.

How does a dipshtein like this actually have male friends? Where do people like this even come from. I can't imagine finding myself in a situation where I was compelled to hang out with this douche.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Maybe he pays to have an entourage.

[rjs246]

Maybe he should strap on a set.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Maybe he already has a massive beanbag and doesn't care what people think.

Either way, he should self-ban from watching contact sports in public.
