Franchise weighing in 7/14 7am

[Franchise]

Did 20 min cardio, 2 miles, chest and situps for 50 min. early this morning.

Weighed in at 270.

Being 6'4 and with my families background, this is a venture nobody has taken. Dad, 310ish, Brother 290, Great Uncles 340, we are all big and enjoy eating alot, but tall as well. In 6 weeks my goal weight is 240. Ive done it before, but just got lazy this past year. 6 weeks folks, I will be there....Larry, Im gonna make a run for ya money

Good luck to all.

PS. two-six's comments were very accurate. Early morning cardio tricks a chemical in your body, if you drink 2 cups of water before you go to the gym, and do cardio, you can burn almost twice the carlories if you ran in the evening.
I drink 2 cups water, eat healthy snacks, and less bread and no sweets, and fat free milk. Along with Ephedra (this is not recommended, just what I take) lookin for 240 by November.

Thanks Larry!

early workouts are rough, but if you guys say they work, i'll try it.

After 5 days of very strict dieting and 20 min. every morning of cardio and 2 weight lifting focus areas, and a shitton of water I weighed in this morning at:

256

Be careful. I have always read that it's rough on your heart to lose weight too fast.

14 pounds in 5 days????

yea, I told you I take it off real fast, its just the keeping it off thats a bitch. My family is known for losing weight real fast. My brother before he went to boot camp for the Navy lost 30lbs in just a month to make it in.

Thats also after i took a big shit and piss. I will slow down after this though, it happened last time, took me forever to get to 235. My goal is 240, then I will see after that.

coritsol and testosterone levels are the highest in the morning. If you are trying to lose muscle mass, this is a good way to do it.

you saying it is good to do cardio in the morning, but wait until later to do weights?

I dunno about that and searching the web I haven't been able to find anything to prove it but I have found a lot in favor of morning workouts. Number 1 being that if you workout in the morning you are more likely to stick to it.

Here's a good Q&A that I found though.http://www.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding_60/68b_fitness_tip.html

Here's something else that I just found.
