I know there have been a few times where I've stopped for like a month or two and have dropped like 10 lbs. and gained no fat. It's all genetics. There are people I see at the gym who work out hard, eat well and can't seem to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossarian Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) OT.. is a BMI of 14.4 good for a 31 year old..??? I don't like that formula, it's a one size fits all thing, doesn't take into account bone structure or anything else for that matter. In any case, congratulations for being 5'6'' and 114 lbs. I'm built like an NFL offensive lineman, only about a foot shorter. As a matter of fact I'm getting ready to pump some more iron so the bullies in cyber world and the "real" world don't pick on me.

I'm no expert, but I see the kind of workout the trainers at my gym make women do. It's mostly weights, with enough resistance to able to do 4 sets of like 12-15 reps. Supposedly, this makes you more cut and defined and doesn't add muscle bulk. I'm sure they do cardio too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do more cardio than weights, but I work on arms one visit and then legs the next on the weights. I am pleased with my progress on my legs, but my arms and middle need a little more work (mid section is coming along nicely, but I am having a really tough time on the arms though).

JUGGERNAUT Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) I don't like that formula, it's a one size fits all thing, doesn't take into account bone structure or anything else for that matter. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The luv handles vs pot belly thing on men I think is mostly genetic. Some men have pots but no handles, some have handles but no pots, most have some pots & some handles. That's why in men you look at chest size vs waist size & BMI as a better indicator. The chest size is a good representation of bone structure & muscle mass. I think Steff's agreeing with me that for woman it's probably hips vs waist & BMI. The hips on a woman are a good representation of bone structure & muscle mass. In general as you enter the 30's & beyond it's best to be more considered about working out to increase blood flow through the heart, arteries, & other organs than building muscle mass or losing weight. I'll take great circulation over a few extra pds any day. Edited March 18, 2005 by JUGGERNAUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 06:06 PM) This thread refuses to die Now that we're on to BMI I just want to add a few things. Don't become a slave to this number. It's not a one size fits all. I have a BMI that fluctuates around 25. I am 6'3" 210#. I have a 46-48in chest, 36-37in waist, & 36in inseam. Am I overweight? Everyone who knows me thinks of me as being thin. All of us have fat & as we get older the biggest battle is the stomach & lats (luv handles). I think that applies to both sexes. Your metabolism is like a big oven. When you're young it runs at very high temps than can burn fat quickly. As you get older the temp keeps dropping & you have to run the oven longer to burn the same amount of fat. As a general rule for real men if your chest size is 25% bigger than your waist size you're not overweight. For real women it's probably a similar function between hips & waist size but don't quote me on this. By definition real men are those men who can at least bench their own wt 3 times How many times can you bench 210 lbs.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I didn't, in 2 months I'd be down to like 140 lbs. :puke Maybe I should juice.......... trying to get us back on track. Im like that too... im 6'1 210 and my waist is 34 but when I do a BMI test it says that I am obese because of the fact it doesnt take in account muscle or stuff like that, so its not the best tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
