new guy said,

"Weight: 135 (pre-crap); 133 (post-crap)"

Heh.  Hadda laugh.  I'm trying to stay down in weight and I even shave, pick my nose, and brush my teeth before weighing.

Every micro-ounce counts.   :'( :grrr:

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

deadlifts for someone starting out on a fitness program = bad idea
work on your core first

Wrecked by yesterday afternoon's deadlifts.

Wrecked by last night's Knob Creek.

Not liking life, right now...

yeah, sorry
i thought you were a newbie to weight training
go light, have good form, and work your way back up to strength

Copy all, Q.

Mahalo, will take your suggestions under advisement!!

Mahalo for the concern, macsak.

I'm not so much "starting out on a fitness program" but perhaps moreso, "resuming workouts, with renewed interest and focus, following surgery."

Definitely easing my way back into the swing of things.

I want to avoid injury at all costs.

As an aside, I thought deadlifts, along with squats, crunches, military presses, bench presses, and rows, represented the most basic and fundamental workout exercises?  ???

Dang....I've been so busy I only just now got to read everyone's commnets and replies. I'm happy to say it looks like we have some pretty good advice being given from our members...good stuff guys!!  :thumbsup:

Here's a lil input.....

Training - 45min per body part/muscle is usually good and the workout should consist of at least 3, maybe 4 different exercises per muscle group. Power lifting is good. however, as we get older some of the basic power/compound movements can be challenging to say the least. If you've just got cleared to train again I would suggest sticking to machines & cables in the begining just to ease into it. This way you can get your joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles a chance to warm up to the idea of moving weight around. Once you've gotten the body used to resistance training and you're feeeling stronger then add more advanced lifting techniques to the routines. Of course you know your body better than anyone else and if you feel you're good to go then rock on and kick some ass!!

Diet - Stick to lean meats such as chicken breast, fish, turkey and lean cuts of steak. For carbs use sweet potatoes, yams, oatmeal and lastly brown rice. Eat plenty of salad/greens but not that iceberg crap! The darker the green, the better it is for you. Nalo greens, spinach and kale are all great! Calories between 3-4,000/day should keep you growing and as long as you follow the foods mentioned above you should put on healthy weight and not fat! Try to eat a meal or protein shake/bar every 2-3 hours if possible and make sure each meal conatins all 3 food groups....protein/carb/greens. Also, aim to keep protein at your desired weight. Example: I want to weigh 250 pds so I consume between 250-300 grams per day, if you want to weigh 160...try to get between 160-200 grams/day.

I hope this helps. Of course there's already been a ton of great info shared so far so this is just a couple things I wanted to add.

Let me know if you have any questions!!  :shaka:

I dont think this chart works well for hawaii people. I think its the same chart as when i joined the air force in 2008. I was 6'2 and weighed 251 so they told me i had to lose a lot of weight. I had no belly at all but there were guys with beer bellies who made weight. Some guys just have heavier frames & some are heavy due to more muscle mass. I ended doing the tape method and was cleared good to go.

Dont worry about charts that list "ideal" bmi. They are just an average so many people will not be ideal on paper but have excellent body mass with definition. Just build your body to what you like.

for the shoulder:
do some rotator cuff exercises, concentrate on external rotation mostly
as this is much weaker than the internal rotators, generally speaking.
but i cant really give specific suggestions without knowing specifics about your shoulder.
you may also be over working the shoulder, bc it gets worked in back, chest, shoulder workouts, as well as bicep tendon may also play a part in the shoulder.

I am not a firm believer in doing abs every day.
I dont really have a six pack either.  LOL.
but I would say, nothing is written in stone.
if your abs are still sore or aching from the previous session, its ok to skip a day or 2 on abs.
I personally only do abs once a week, like any other body part.
but again, my abs are nothing to write home about.

isometrics, waste of time.
if you can do isotonic exersice, do it that way.
there are certain techniques of using isometrics, like on the power rack, and isometric contraction is stronger than isotonic,
eccentric, or negative training may be beneficial, but use sparingly.

but as a whole, training is very individual.
what works for me, may not work for you.
a lot is trial and error, particular to the individual.

but sounds like your training is coming along great.
you have goals and measurements to track progress.
you'll make your goals, I'm sure!   :shaka:
