Ello

Thanx for the replies.

I have increased the weights to he current level over the last 8 months, I find the weights quite tough as in by the time I've got to the 8/10th rep I have o push myself to get to 12. I'm being told loadsa different suff by guys in my gym - some say I should be doing more reps i.e 25 but wih lighter weights, others say only do 8 reps wih heavier weighs as this builds strength rather than size. I do try and vary what I do but do end up going back to same old stuff as I get so confused wih all the diferent advice. Thats what I meant by not sure about weights not how much I weigh

I won't bore you with what I was eating before but now I am planning my food in advance including promax diet protien shakes as I'v never used this before so maybe I wasn't getting enough protien. I'm also going to cut back on my carb intake as this seems to be the major thing in losing fat but I'm trying to find out how much is enough. I came accross this on the net and thought it sounded pretty interesting - don't know what you guys think about it? http://boards.muscleandfitness.com/i...ST;f=3;t=48706

I would love to train with someone else and also have been looking for a personal trainer but can't find one locally - I've spoken to a couple but wasn't convinced they would give me what I wanted as they seemed a bit vague & didn't have much experience either.
