Wow!
Misfits are my favā too.
I gotta agree about the Glenn days too; but donāt like him much as a person tho.
.
Just some thoughts from an ignoramus.
Misfits
Wow, I never thought there would be a Misfits topic on here, haha. A friend of mine had a video of Danzig jumping on a guy at a concert, back in 82. The guy was hitting people in the pit, and Danzig just frigginā leaped off the stage onto the guy and started pounding him, it was crazy.
In three words I can sum up everything Iāve learned about
life. IT GOES ON.

I have been weight training off and on for about 8 yearsā¦
I have studied weightlifting more than I actually train, since there is a lot of information to digest and itās always good to know what is going on with your body and what can be dangerous or unproductive.
I would consider myself as knowledgeable as a personal trainer when it comes to actual lifts and form, and MORE knowledgeable than most personal trainers when it comes to most supplements, going down to the cellular lvl on what is happening when you work out, etc. I donāt claim to know everything but I have studied enough to know what I post. I will generally not make a post unless Iām sure of what Iām saying.
Oh and no I donāt have a personal trainer certification as it isnāt exactly a career I would be getting into. Certifications are only a piece of paper saying you pasted a test. Knowledge is whatās really valuable.
And yes almost all of the previous information is false and based on bodybuilding myths of which there are quite a few. I just donāt want newbieās to read this and get the wrong idea about what to do. Feel free to post any other questions you may have. I donāt regularly come here but I check every couple of days.

Cool. Thanks for your response.
nospam,
I added on weight. Yeehaw! Man those sets are hard now. Still doing three sets, Iām just now making that face :mad: . Iām getting closer to a pull upāalmost half way (I do three sets of ten, one of these days, Iāll actually get all the way up).
Robin
Surrender yourself to nature and be all that you are.
Way to go Robin! Stick to the three sets for now and you will make great gains. The main thing is you are in there and doing it. Specifics can come later as your knowledge of weightlifting grows and you get to know your bodyās responses/needs more.
Iām getting closer to a pull upāalmost half way (I do three sets of ten, one of these days, Iāll actually get all the way up).
It took me quite a while to be able to do 1 set of pull ups (10 reps) fully and properly (lifting has proper form -smoothness, speed, cadence, mechanics, etc-similar to kata) let alone 3 sets! 
Iād be interested to know your dietary habits?
nospam.
nospam,
My diet is quite healthy. Iām still mucking with the caloric side of it, because Iām working out more now with the weightlifting.
In general, I follow the American Dietetic Associationās recommendations. I actually get the full five fruits/veggies thingāmaking sure to have at least 2 dark green veggies. I fell into this diet because itās the one that keeps me from going insane. Iāve tried others, and with this I get to have everything I like. I eat throughout the dayāincluding nuts, and I make sure that I get enough fiber (going for real whole wheat, soy products and things). I have the full write up of my diet at homeāthat includes caloric, fat, protein, carbs.
From what I remember of the numbers, theyāre as follows:
Calories: 1700 (roughly)
fat: 42 grams
protein: 81 grams
carbs: 240 grams (I believe)
Iām 5ā4", around 120. With the weightlifting, now though, I think my numbers might have to change.

Whenās dinner? 
Iām 5ā4", around 120. Hey Robin, not many a gal will be found so easily giving out their weight! hahaha Sheās a contenda
So, do you have a food weakness? I know for me when I am being faithful to my food intake, I can be found chomping away on plain ripple potatoe chips and onion chip dip! Matter of factā¦
spammajamma.
I know Iām one of a few who gives out her weight. But, itās not like I can hide it. Besides, having weighed 175 when I graduated highschool (10 years ago), I still take pride in my low weight.
Food in general is my weakness. I know there are good meal replacement shakes out there, but I prefer to chewā¦ CHOCOLATE, especially (though, I figured that would have been obvious). Sometimes, I just need cake.
