To get down into the mid-200's by this time next year.
Goal (Long):
Going through my first online bootcamp proved to me that I can do this. I went from 377 unhealthy pounds to a more manageable 307 in less than a year's time, and I wasn't really putting all my effort into it. I can only imagine what will happen, now that I'm about to dive back in and "leave it all on the stage." Because I'm so close now to having all the things I want: to get rid of my CPAP machine since I have greatly reduced the effects of my sleep apnea problem. To decrease and finally get rid of the number of blood pressure meds I've had to take for years. To have more energy and mental clarity to get through each and every day.
Oh, yeah - and to look 'slammin'' with my shirt off for the first time in my life!
What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?
Working with the elliptical machine, but the same could be said for the recumbent and stationary bikes, too. Anything where I can use my iPod is all-good for me. Cardio with no music is cardio I'm not going to do (except for lap swimming, of course!Working with the elliptical machine, but the same could be said for the recumbent and stationary bikes, too.

What traps workout has worked best for you?
I haven't incorporated any exercises into my routine that isolate the traps yet. I rely on compound back exercises to hit those for now.

What forearm workout has worked best for you?
Don't really have a forearm workout yet...I'm concentrating on "bringing sexy back" to my bi's and tri's.
Why I like this video: I don't really remember when it was I came across Steve Turano's clips, but whenever I want to do a little research on something related to workouts, he seems to follow the K.I.S.S. rule pretty consistently, and a lot of what he has to say reflects "uncommonly" common sense.

Well, anyone who knows me also knows that I am a MISERABLE blogger. A lot of people can't get by without blogging about twice a day; if I do it once a week that's a miracle! I've still been keeping up with the pool training and with my Wednesday ass-kicking sessions with Scott (the trainer in...
Had a great ego day yesturday. When to SIX FLAG did not where a shirt in the water park. In the past I would where one to cover up but not this time. I had a little tan NO man BOOBS no gut and some muscle to show. That was a great ego boost. I also tooking in 2 protein bars so I would not have to eat fried food all day, yes i know alittle weird but all this hard work and to eat fried food and feel like shit the next day. I don't think so
Still no chest workout but to day I did 3 set of tri extentions and 3 set of peacher curls NO PAIN in my chest. I will add to this workout slowly. Also change up my leg workout order placing squats last. Holy Crap my weight has drop by half but what a burn and pump . Must change thing up more.
thanks did a kill leg workout yesturday and those babys are sore as hell. But what a great feeling. I chest is feeling better but can't go back to soon are it will be injured again. Watching my diet and hope I don't lose to much muscle in my upper body or I will look like one of those guys who only work there upper body but in reverse. have a great day
I pulled a chest muscle last week and workout out after so it go worst. so I am taking two week of for upper body and hitting the cardio and legs.Yesturday did 90 minutes in incline ramp whilte watching the Tour Du France. those guy are in sick shape they rode 357 KM no problem
just read the 4th of july blog. glad to see that you had a good time, but got back on the horse when the holiday weekened ended. i did the same. hell, we gotta have some fun! btw, your right on about getting rid of the old clothes. i gotta make a point of doing that this weekend. be good!
thnx bro..it was hard sticking with working out when u didnt really know what to do and didnt really know how to eat, but after the 3rd year, i started reading mags and it really helped me turn my life around in the gym..
keep doing what u are bro...
no sweat! the Pure Protein bars are awesome tasting too, IMO. stick with the chewy chocolate chip and the chocolate peanut butter, those have the least ingredients, cals, etc etc. glad i could enlighten you my friend. continue the crush!
hey Samuel, just droppin by and it looks like your still makin money! i noticed your bars - next time you run out or if you hit a plateau - give Worldwide Pure Protein bars a shot. 6 pk at walmart is about $6, but they dont have sugar, high fructose corn syrup, any of that good stuff so they may speed up yur weightloss. chewy chocolate chip and chocoalate peanut butter specifically. have a great week!!
