hey pple i was 93kg but i trained my way down to 68kg already. knowing that fat burning does not equal to spot reduction but the weight i lost was from my arms and legs... then my tummy still damn flabby and got the stretched marks (many lines one). now in ns already, almost everyday doing cardio and strength training.
so 2 qn, how to tone my tummy area so no more stretch marks.
secondly, some of my fren bought the protein from gnc, i was wondering if it is necessary for me if i want to really tone up my chest and tummy regions.
any bodybuilders care to shed some light? -
u do need protein, whey protein but GNC is too pricey...PM me and i get u cheap stuff.
stretch marks ah....dis one i can't help liao.
if u need help in wat exercises to do to build chest i can help lah...i last time skinny oso...but now better lah...not massive but ok only. -
hum... to get rid of your flabby stomach, u need to do cardio excerise to burn the fats... as for protein i don't think you will need it... as you have the weight and build already you don't need protein...

Yes. Nutrition is very impt to training. U can train like siao but if U dun eat right U cant grow. And protein is the most impt amino acid if U wanna build muscles.Originally posted by thousandisland:hey pple i was 93kg but i trained my way down to 68kg already. knowing that fat burning does not equal to spot reduction but the weight i lost was from my arms and legs... then my tummy still damn flabby and got the stretched marks (many lines one). now in ns already, almost everyday doing cardio and strength training.

For chest areas, maybe U can start doing bench presses (Flat, Incline or Decline), dumbbells presses (Flat, Incline, Decline), flys (Flat, Incline, Decline), pullovers, dips, pec deck or even cable crossovers.
Since U r a beginner, juz choose one or two compound/mass building exercises and do ard 3 sets for tt ex. For e.g. 3 sets of flat bench press (1x20xW, 2x15xW, 3x12xW), 3 sets of Flat flys (1x20xW, 2x15xW, 3x12xW).
*1x20xW --> means 1 set of 20 reps x W (the weight which U can lift 20 reps without pausing for rest using perfect form), 2x15xW means the second set of 15 reps with the weight U can lift for 15 reps using perfect form etc.
For abs, U can try doing crunches, leg raises.
For upper abs, you can try doing a few sets of crunches. For lower abs, a few sets of leg raises. For obliques, you can do twists or twisting crunches.
One thing to note is do not neglect Ur other bodyparts. All muscles on your body are impt in bodybuilding.
Good Luck for Ur training.
Cheers.
Note: Results may vary, it all depends on your genetics. And results doesnt show in a few days, you need a period of time before results show.
Bodybuilding is a life long commitment.
P.S: U can try buying the protein supplements from Chunyong. Chunyong and I are using the same products and since I started using the supplements one mth back, frenz said that I haf grown bigger.

i tink you need to build some muscle in the torso region, with such great weight loss , you should be quite toned by now.
And the stretch marks are a problem , i don't tink that u can get rid of that by exercising, go see a doctor or a beautician , they will know how to handle that -
will 2 weaks if gym inactivity cause lost in muscle mass? i had to skip gym for weeks as they r undergoing renovation...i did simple pushups n dumbell exercise but doubt it will be of much help since they r too light...

hey thanks people for sharing the tips... however since im in tekong now, i cant go to the gym at my whims. however, we do strength training (10 sets of exercises, 10 reps, 2 x 4kg dumb bells) and AGR, 30:60. so is there any way to tone up my chest area w/o going to the gym like static exercises?
also is the nutritional intake for my meals sufficient in providing me with the proteins i need to build muscles? f.y.i - we eat considerable amounts of meat and fish everyday. -
u mean if u r inactive n muscular, the muscles will burn the fats for energy they need? isnt it gd?Originally posted by chunyong:if u do some light workout everyday and takem ore protein wun bah...carbs inpt too...the more muslces u have, the more energy they need, the more fats will be burned for energy...dats y the more muscles u build the more carbs u need daily -
Juz tk in more protein for the body to catabolize...Originally posted by chunyong:if u do some light workout everyday and takem ore protein wun bah...carbs inpt too...the more muslces u have, the more energy they need, the more fats will be burned for energy...dats y the more muscles u build the more carbs u need daily -
Having more muscle mass means the metabolism rate of Ur body is higher, thus more fats will be burned but protein will also be burned by the body for energy, out of 1 pound of weight lost, a certain percentage of comes from protein taken from muscle mass which means U will lose muscle mass...Originally posted by borntolive:u mean if u r inactive n muscular, the muscles will burn the fats for energy they need? isnt it gd? -
waa so chim...

but if u got no "excess" fuel to sustain then muscle will 'die' off...meaning shrink cos to avoid depleting the fuel reserves needed to run other things more critical.Originally posted by borntolive:u mean if u r inactive n muscular, the muscles will burn the fats for energy they need? isnt it gd?
so as u grow more muscular, ur fat reserves will deplete but if u take massgainer and dun work out well then i think its more fats then muscles -
if you want toned and defined muscles, there is no other way than low BF %, which means that you need to do alot of cardio
-
it depends on how long you are inactive, if you are inactive for too long, your muscles will slowly deplete because your muscles are not being worked, therefore your body feels no need to have so many muscles.Originally posted by borntolive:u mean if u r inactive n muscular, the muscles will burn the fats for energy they need? isnt it gd? -

Hmm... Can tell me how u plan ur jogging? Coz it quite difficult to start jogging anyhow likdat. How long did u run when u started? what other things u do other than that? coz i'm going into NS soon too, and i wanna slim down real quick~Originally posted by thousandisland:oh i slimmed down when i was in jc1. took about half a year. basically, i avoided rice and other carbo food and started jogging everyday for around 5-6 days a week. slowly and slowly, the weight came off. -
if you really cant think of any routes or anything, try going to recreational stadiums or parks to take a jog, most importantly, try not to stop at all on your first few weeks, then when your body is used to it, man you'll be enjoying running. it is the getting ready for flight that is hard. =)Originally posted by joeacid:Hmm...

why do zinks nowadays wanna work out so furiousLy? to make up for their tiny members down there? or girly looks?
why zinks have so much body fat their gals especially wanna shove it against my face for wat? their soft bo0bies or bums should only be reserved for kena whiny zinks not real men like myself or other good looking handsome muscular light skinned men.
