1. Mirror is the best measurement device at your current stage. Since you are a beginner, muscle mass is easily build up so you MIGHT be losing weight at the same time building muscle mass (called beginner's advantage) so the weight will stay the same, but you should see any differences on the mirror. IF there's no differences on the mirror measurement, you might need to fine tune your diet.
2. Always count the barbell weight. You are lifting the barbell too right? Not the weight plates alone? The 7" Olympic Barbell weights 45lbs while the normal short bar is 25lbs IIRC.
3. For beginner's I would recommend routines such as Stronglifts 5x5. Why? Cause it has 'build-in' motivation driver. Read more about that.

QUOTE(han2019 @ Apr 13 2013, 01:13 PM) cuz i don't know the weight of the bar.. lol i went through googles, people do add it to the total weight they lift... nowonder the numbers are so big.... and that they are 315, 455, because of the 45lbs barbells.. Logically thinking, you are lifting the barbell too right? So why shouldn't the barbell weight not be counted? If you don't know the weight, it's very easy to ask someone in the gym about that. |

QUOTE(kaizer3000 @ Jul 22 2013, 12:37 PM) i can relate to u bro, its DIET. seriously... even if u dont go to work and work out 5 hours a day, but if ur diet is like a fat greedy person it will still gain back ur fat... but mine is worse, i have gastric, which requires me to eat very frequently... but after taking medication for gastric and watching my diet ( i only eat once per day....else i only drink milo or water) now i am losing 2kg every 4-5 days without doing any exercises...except some minor walking to work exercises...haha This is recipe for disaster. You are not having a good diet but you are starving your body from nutritions. Guess you might be proud losing 2kg every 4-5 days without needing to even do some exercises.

QUOTE(kaizer3000 @ Jul 22 2013, 03:45 PM) yeah, did think of that...problem is, my old diet gave me "over nutrition"...thats how i gain fat! plus i didnt say i dont eat whole day at all... :3 anyway, i planned to drop till around 60+kg before i start maintaining it....back then i was over 84 kg!! It's not the nutrition that makes you fat, it's the calorie and yeah, you did said you eat a one meal a day and drink milo and water. Sure, I really wish you'll success to get that 60kg but bear in mind, you are losing a lot of muscle mass with your current diet. Prepare yourself to be not able to eat much because of scared of gaining weight. |
