if you don't do legs or abs in over a period of time then it will hurt when you get back into it.

Also that ab wheel is a beast on them abs.. keep it up bruh, every other day!

So I've been going to the gym 5 days a week since last Monday and somehow I've gained 4 pounds. Wtf is going on? Eating habits are the same (which is pretty good imo).

My goal is 140 lbs. Waist 26 inches, toned all over.

I'm currently 156lbs as of this morning. Last monday I was 152lbs. I've been using weights and doing 20 minutes of cardio each day.

My meal plan

400 cals for breakfast

400 cals for lunch

700 cals or less for dinner..

Total of about 1500 cals per day. & I keep it the same everyday.

more than likely you're drinking more water and your muscles/body are retaining more water. It's like that when you first ramp up workout frequency.

FYI -http://www.beachbody.com/beachbodyb...do-you-gain-weight-when-you-start-working-out

As long as you don't feel super bloated I wouldn't sweat it too much. You won't gain that much fat in a week if you're sticking with a meal plan and not binge eating.

You can actually help flush out water retention by.........drinking more water :)

how the fuck do i shape the underside and the sides of my pecs right next to my arms. ive been doing push ups and pull ups and my chest is getting defined but i still dont have the definition im looking for

brah, ima tell you like this, and its something i JUST figured out the other day while doing some circuit stuff and it felt amazing aftewards

there is a youtube vid that i watched but i cant recall it atm, but basically, you have to keep the pecs engaged throughout the entire movement.

what i did was i started out doing 10 reps of a wide stance push up. Im talking the furthest i could stretch my arms while still being able to fully control the motion. Banged those out, then went straight to probably whats considered the standard position push up. This is where i started feeling the tension.

As i felt the outermost part of my peck contract, idk what happened, but something told me (maybe the voice in my head lol) to hold it as I came up, then went back down. So i continued to do that for the duration of the set.

Bam..knocked that out, then went to a set of 10 for diamond pushups doing the EXACT same thing. Only this time, i could also feel my upper back/shoulder area contracting like never before. Kept the tension throughout the entire set...

once i finished that, i went back to standard position and just repped til failure.

I did like 4 rounds i think of that circuit. My shit was shaking after that. Could barely take my shirt off

I hate to sound like some informercial or something, but for the first time since i began trying to do bodyweight stuff, that was the first time i actually felt the muscles i was supposed to be targeting. As soon as i get my lil girl situated for the evening, ima be back at it.

I think I might start doing this. Switch it up to see what results I get.
