Can you train an underweight man such as myself to have the Randy Orton build?
Can you save 15% or more by switching to Geico?
Sure you can budy, it will take a long arse time though. Weight doesn't go overnight. You would need the right mix of eating healthy and working out and you really want to be like Orton some roids and a good tatty artist would be needed as well.
What are your favorite quotes for fitness?
Do or do not. There is no try.
Pain is your friend, It lets you know you are still alive
Believe and Achieve
Big isn't strong. Strong is strong.
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
When you’re happy and your smiling, haters are frowning. When you have a clear conscious and your mind is free, others are confused. When you can see where you’re going and no longer living in the dark, others are blinded by your light.

ACSM Certified Personal Trainer
In the Process of getting my Bachelors in Exercise Science
Currently in home training, independent training at local gyms, and an aspiring boxer looking to go pro by age 23.
If you're 6"5, yes.
Btw what's the fuss about this Ab Circle thing? I spend almost 1 hour daily in between treadmill and elliptical machine and this hot Mama on TV is trying to convince me that i can get better results in 3 minutes using that?
Is it worth it?
Bump!
I'm 23 now and weigh about 136-137. Been exercising/working out since about mid-August. I work on my legs every other day (jogging 20-30 something minutes) and some other short exercises, and do some upper-body workouts every other day. I want to get a personal trainer.
You need to eat everything.
Carb, protein, fats — they’re all essential to your body; the key is moderation.
You need to eat at the right time.
Don’t starve when your body needs energy, and don’t over-eat when you have enough. Timing your meals allow you to stay full on less food.
Your diet should fit your needs.
Diets are not one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s bodies, lifestyles, diets, and dieting goals are different. A weight loss diet for one person might lead to weight gain for another.
Healthy dieting requires:
TIMING (of meals)
VARIETY (of foods)
BALANCE (of nutrients)
MODERATION (of portions)
Meat - Stick to white meat. It is easier for your body to digest, processes faster through your body, and doesn’t sit around in your stomach making you sluggish. Examples of white meat are chicken, turkey, and fish. Funny how white meat happens to be lean animals that can fly or move quickly? Red meat is the stuff you try to avoid if you can – which is beef or pork. Maybe it’s because our cows and pigs are fed crap that it makes their meat less healthy for the body.
Proteins - Besides meat, eggs, tuna, greek yogurt, beef jerky and almond or soy milk are an excellent source of pure protein.
Fruits and Vegetables – Everybody needs vitamins, this is a requirement to be a healthy person in general. Eat a wide variety of them. Remember the more colorful the better. Broccoli, Spinach, Blueberries, Apples, Oranges, Cherries, Carrots.
Liquids - Water, water, water! One gallon a day is minimum for everybody in general. Two to three gallons is a must if you workout hard and/or live in a hot state. Again, this is a minimum, if you can drink more, do it. Stay the hell away from alcohol, it will slow you down, fatten you up, and put you in more situations where you are likely to be straying away from the healthy boxer’s lifestyle!
Fats - Honestly, this has more to do with your genetic makeup than anything. If you have a body that builds up fat easily, stay away from saturated fats for at least five days out of the week. Mono and poly unsaturated fats are good.
55% - Carbs
25% - Fats
20% - Protein
Try to maintain that balance.
Knowing WHEN to eat,
is as important as knowing WHAT to eat.
Our #1 problem is figuring out when to eat. (Most people know what to eat. Fruits are good, junk foods are bad, etc) If you’re eating healthy but still not losing weight, it’s probably your timing that’s off. If you don’t eat at the right time, it matters very little whether you eat healthy or not–because the food gets transformed into fat anyway!
The #1 diet problem
Not eating when the body needs food,
and then over-eating when finally eating.
… so when do we eat?
The body’s daily energy use
Your body is constantly using energy, spiking its energy use during your workout.
Your diet should follow your energy use as closely as possible.
Bad diet plan of eating 3 big meals a day.
over-eating converts surplus nutrients to fat
fewer meals leaves you hungry & weak in between meals
starving often leads to more over-eating
One of the biggest diet mistakes is waiting too long in between meals. If you wait till your stomach is grumbling, your body is already starving (decreased energy and recovery rate). Extreme hunger is usually countered with the next diet mistake, over-eating, which increases fat storage. One mistake usually leads to the other, putting your body in a vicious cycle of starvation (decreased metabolism) followed by periods of over-eating (fat gain).
Good diet plan of 6 meals a day
smaller meals keep you energized and full throughout the day
snacks keep you from starving during long workouts and in between meals
smaller meals keep your metabolism high while avoiding over-eating
Eating smaller meals more closely matches your body’s energy use. Your biggest meals are in the mornings and the one before your workout. Smaller meals keep you satisfied without putting extra calories into you.
Start eating before you get too hungry.
Stop eating before you get too full.
Biggest Meal in the Morning
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s the first supply of nutrients for your day and kickstarts your body’s metabolism. Once you have a full breakfast, you can make it through the rest of the day on smaller meals to avoid getting hungry. Don’t be silly and skip breakfast as part of your weight loss plan. This leaves you hungry and sends your body into starvation mode (decreasing metabolism), making it stingy for energy and storing everything you eat as fat. You You need to have energy to start your day; you need to eat good breakfast.
Breakfast AFTER Your Morning Run
If you do your runs in the morning, it’s best to eat breakfast after that. First off, running on a full stomach is a terrible idea. Secondly, running on an empty stomach helps you lose weight because your body will be burning off stored fat instead of the food you ate that day. It’s not necessary to do your runs in the morning, but the common belief is that it burns off fat stored from the previous night and energizes you for the day.
Aside from breakfast, the workout meal is the second and only other big meal on your training day
QuotedForGenius.Most diets aren’t about action; they’re about thoughts.
You spend mad time thinking about not having food.
Either you follow your diet or you don’t. It’s all or nothing.
If only you had the willpower to step away from the mayonnaise. If only you could stop after four Pringles. If only you had the power, the strength, the discipline, the cojones, the energy, the drive, the motivation to control your waist, then you’d finally have the body you want. You’ve placed all the responsibility for dietary success or failure on your little 3-pound brain.
But you can’t defeat nature.
Truth is, your body is built for eating. It’s full of hormones and neurotransmitters whose jobs roughly translate into "pass the pound cake."
example:
Overeating is like drug addiction. Studies show that obese people have reward centers in their brain similar to the reward centers of drug addicts.
Stress eating is cyclical. When you eat to reduce stress, you activate the reward centers of your brain. When the feel-good effects wear off, you reach again for the thing that made you feel relaxed: food.
Heavy people respond differently to certain foods. For example, in heavy people, the parietal region of the brain -- the control center for the tongue, lips, and mouth -- is activated by sugar. In skinny people, it isn’t.
To expect that your will or your fortitude can override chemical messages like these is the equivalent of seeing my ex override being an attention whore.
To get on the road to waist management and stay there, you have to first strip away the guilt that comes with eating, the guilt that comes with diets, and the guilt that comes with occasionally enjoying foods that aren’t at the platinum level on healthy-eating charts.
And you have to start listening to your body and responding intelligently to your cravings and your emotions. You have to train your brain to stop obsessing about eating right.
Over time, you’ll learn what your body is saying and why, and you’ll learn how to eat right to manage those cravings. Because the unrecognized truth about dieting is that when you stop overthinking, you’ll stop overeating.
That's a premium 'article' on nutrition and diet right there.
Grasias bro!
Metro, I need some help.
Here's my situation.
I've really let myself go in the past 2 years or so. I'm about 6'1, 225 pounds, but most of it is in fat.
Honestly I seldom exercise and I truly don't know where to start. I want to lose most of this fat and gain quite a bit back in muscle, but considering muscle weighs more than fat, I don't know how much progress I will actually see if I work on both at the same time.
I'm 17 right now so I know this is a pretty easy time to lose weight compared to much later on in your life and I need a good place to start and a good system to implement.
I guess I also need help on my diet too.
If you need me to get into specifics about my diet I'll be glad to. I don't think it's all that bad.
I somehow have dropped a few pounds in the last few weeks even though I work out every day. Why? I even do a little more than I have the last several months.
