[ClintsFitness]

i hate when so called trainers put heaps of isolations in fullbody program, wtf? i only use basic shit, bench, dips, seat row, latpulldown,leg press,squat variant to suit client

[buildingbodies]

@ClintsFitness agreed



[scottclements78]

How hard is it too explain something in straight forward english. Blah blah blah. Answer the damn question!

[buildingbodies]

@scottclements78 Straight forward english.....

Get off your ass, hit the gym with a full body routine three times a week on non consecutive days with one exercise per bodypart for three sets of 15 reps.

[lakotachance]

@buildingbodies I love this comment to Scottclements78... You tell him is all that i have to say about that!

[buildingbodies]

I'm not up to the challenge... YOU ARE. It's up to you if you want to live less of a life then you are capable. To live in pain and with feelings of low self worth or head towards personal pride, unlimited energy and passion for life and all it holds. The choice is yours. You are certain to succeed on this exciting journey if you simply join the rest of us that are already doing what it takes.

[fatass514]

Hey Ray, I'm starting the 3 day full body routine, and I intend to work out in the morning at 7am. That's what fits my schedule best. When should I have breakfast? Before or after going to the gym?

[buildingbodies]

@fatass514 quick and easy would be a protein shake and a bowl of oatmeal, about 9 almonds. Some people can get away with nothing in their bellies for fat loss training but most will need to eat 1 to 1.5 hours before training in the morning. And you'll find it easier to loss weight if you stop using "call names" like "fatass" according to most sports psychologists

[lgnlint]

5'6 and 200lbs is super fat dude...

[iTzDannnyBoi]

Lol. You are a funny dude.

[kirkula]

hahaha, you're a wacky dude! :-D

[mrcookie0808]

LMFAO. ok dude this made my day...cool bamboo plant...

[buildingbodies]

Awesome, I hope you didn't miss the pencil sharpener...

[mrcookie0808]

wait. what pencil sharpener? lol

[GooseCaller14]

Hey, im 14 and 260 lbs not all fat though. I started workout this week and im doing 30 reps with 60lb bench (im weak I know), 30 reps on 30lb curls and 30 sit-ups. all about 25 mins. Am I doing anything wrong or what should I improve.

Thanks

[buildingbodies]

Go read the article I put a link to over in the video description. It will tell you everything I can't fit in this little box.

[FlinstoneX]

Nice job. I remember when i was 14 and i started weight training. I had NO idea what i was doing, and found out eventually that it was not helping me at all. So i stopped on it. For now, i train with my own body weight however much i can. Next year im taking a strength training course in school, so that will be my fresh start. Good luck and check out ray's website!

[buildingbodies]

Thanks Flinstone. You're 16 now if I read your other comments correctly. As the the MMA conditioning, it's just a matter of moving fast during your training and doing it frequently enough so that your conditioning level stays up. Keep up the bodyweight stuff, it will pay off huge. Look at gymnasts.

[TheHockeyplayer4eva]

If your looking to lose wieght,20 mins of cardio 3 days a week will really dramatically drop your wieght,if your looking to build muscle,increase your sets,so do the same thing,twice everyday

[Robbycg123]

I read the 3-day beginner workout routine article. Do you think it is okay to substitute Tricep push downs for dips? And its okay to use the bar to do curls with both hands, right?

Thanks,

Robby

[buildingbodies]

Totally. If you have an injury or simply feel the exercise more then go for it.

[Robbycg123]

Thank You!

[xXShamedGloryXx]

Thanks i'm following the beginner workout and its working great.

[buildingbodies]

Thanks for letting me know! I love to hear feedback about my programs. I'm glad it's working for you and keep working hard!

[arsh91]

i had a question.. what is better, cardio first then strength trainig, or strength training then cardio?

[buildingbodies]

gaotbait87 just answered that very question below. But the answer is weight training first then cardio.

[gatorbait87]

oh and when I say muscle, as in "( more than one joint/muscle)" I mean muscle group.

[gatorbait87]

...fat requires oxygen to be metabolized, while carbs (glycogen) don't.

also, the reason for cardio after strength training is that you expend more energy with strength training than in cardio (increased intensity = increased carb consumption). So do strength first to get a highest quality workout possible and then do the light cardio to burn more calories (which are actually Kcalories, but it's always seen as calories on nutrition labels)

[gatorbait87]

Always start off light, when beginning and getting back into it. Key things:

- cardio AFTER strength training

- more muscle = increased cal expenditure throughout the day

- compound exercises (more than one joint/muscle) are important

- when doing muscles like chest or back, isolate the larger muscle groups first to avoid the smaller ones from failing first and hindering your workout

- for fat burning, do less intense workouts (light cardio) more oxygen = more fat bured because ...

[Razornoose]

sorry i ment ''i CAN now finish the full three sets''

[Razornoose]

i dont look much different than last week which is all good cause i would of been extremely surprised to see those kind of results already. i cant now finish the full three sets but i am still struggling with my extremely weak chest muscle. does this mean i should work this harder or what? also i was lookin at the site but im still a bit confused about nutrition. is there any food i should avoid or eat more of.

keepin you posted.

Tom.

[Razornoose]

hey man!ok its been about a week now so ya a new post.

ok firstly i just want to say thanks for replying to my comments. not may people would take the time to lend a hand like that so thanks.

right to business. after this week i already do feel a bit of difference. i am much more energitic and do feel a bit stronger and i can run much further. today i am 12:6 stone im not really sure what weight system they have in Canada but ya last week i was about 12:9 stone so i am also lighter.

[Razornoose]

ok also when i say completed i wasnt able to complete to three sets because yet again i am a beginner but i did complete two sets of the workout. i finshed the workout in about half an hour to 45 minutes. so i have a question for you.

i could manage to do this everyday but should i? or should i rest?

anyway hope to hear from you soon. ill keep you posted.

[buildingbodies]

Awesome, you're on the right track. Keep doing only 2 sets until it starts to feel easy for you. Only do the workout every second day so that you have a day off to rest or go for a light jog or walk to keep the blood flowing.

Keep working hard because you will be able to get this workout done in well under an hour if you only take 1-2 minutes between sets and then start working on combining the exercises into groups of two ( called supersets).

GOOD LUCK RAZORNOOSE! Go army...

[Razornoose]

ok so i have just ''completed'' youre workout and i admit being a beginner im wrecked but i thought ill keep you posted on progress since you made the workout. i just changed a thing or two on it. firstly when i checked out the work out i was good to go but then i realised i did have a barbell BENCH or a row machine! so for bench presses i will be doing press ups and for rowing i will be lifting my barbellfor a hunched over position so it is like im doing and reverse press up

[Razornoose]

ill goin to try this for 4 weeks cause you really sound like ya know what youre talking about. thanks for the vid! although i dont need to loose weight i need alot of strength training cause my army recruit camp is in seven weeks and it will be hell if i dont strat something now.thanks again and wish me luck!
