This is when I decided I needed to make a life change: 6'1" and 258 lbs. As you can see, it wasn't exactly what you would call 258 lbs. of rock hard muscle!
"After" photo, side view. I feel great...much better than I LOOK, that's for sure! :-D
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've allowed stressful events in my life sabotage the progress I've made over the last two years, and that ends NOW! I WILL be seeing my abs by Christmas, and I will NOT allow stress to wreck me again. Instead of hitting the table, I'll be hitting the bench...COUNT ON IT!
I do a set of 12, then 10, then 8, then 6, increasing the weight each set and resting one minute in between. After the set of six, then I do a set of 12 followed immediately by another 12 of a different exercise. Example:
Bench press: 12 x 140 (rest 60 secs.)
Bench press: 10 x 150 (rest 60 secs.)
Bench press: 8 x 160 (rest 60 secs.)
Bench press: 6 x 170 (rest 60 secs.)
Incline bench press: 12 x 120 (NO REST)

See above.

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Pro: Better motivation when you pay for it!
Con: Having some dude who doesn't take his health seriously hog the machine/rack at the moment I need it. Why waste my time and yours if you're hitting McD's afterwards or boozing it up the whole weekend?Pro: Better motivation when you pay for it!

This is somewhat of a follow-up to my last post about pet peeves. Of all of the pet peeves I have in the gym, this one probably chaps my derriere the most.
Basically, what I call "Monday warriors" are the people who swarm to the gym on Mondays to undo the damage they did...
