Be honest...how bad is my loose skin?
- Thread starter OrangeB12
- Start date
Ah yes, college years. I gained like so much fat during those years. My diet was almost always Taco Bell, Papa Johns, and other garbage. I can understand your pain with the diet, especially with a large schedule of classes. But hang in there, you're doing a lot better than most college students.
Hey mr. I havent read alot of the posts it went slightly off track
I think the best thing you can do is give it time and patience. I have a friend whos loose skin tightened up over time. The best thing you can do in my opinion is listen to the diet advice and pack some muscle on.
Good Luck
P.S Congratulations on the weight loss.

Yeah! I can see progress too. Keep it up and your goals will be realized!
Stay determined and never lose sight of your goals!
So did you gain some muscle since then? What are your before and after weights?

I go to the gym 6 days a week and hit a different area each time for 45-50 minutes, and end with some cool down cardio (About a mile and a half of running).
My diet consists of a lot of protein, chicken, egg whites, tuna, almonds, veggies, fruits, whole grain breads, etc...all the good stuff.
I see some "definate" progress. Do you shoot for any percentages of the three nutrients or are you more concerned with calories or are you paying close attention to both?
When you go to the gym 6 days a week, do you mind me asking what you are doing? Im just trying to get a general idea of what it is, not that Im going to critique it (no regime is absolutely perfect in my opinion).
Keep ON ROCKEN...........You are doing well........I knew you could-----the raindbow is near, my friend!

Orange, do you mind putting the sets and reps with those listed exercises?
How do you feel personally about this routine you are doing? And, if you dont mind me asking, young man, what made you decide to do this routine arrangement? Do you think its possible there are too many exercises per muscle group?
Best wishes to you!

As long as you hit this routine with intensity and ferocity, you will see gains. When you plateu, it's time to look into different stuff.
I think you should be doing good mornings on your back day, just because they offer an enormous amount of core development. Remember, your core is not just your abs, it's everything in that area, front and back. That means spinal erectors and ****. If you get your spinal erectors to be huge, you will help stretch that skin back a bit more.
On your leg day you should squat. If anything, cut everything else you have out and squat. Putting weight on your back and stabalizing it is probably the best "core" exercise you can do. If you don't know how to squat, learn. Mike Robertson and Elitefts have excellent articles on how to squat. Google them. Even though you're squatting on your "back" day it is good to squat again in the week for your leg day.
