you don't need this strict diet bollocks to lose weight. It's ok to have snacks during the day so long as you eat proper meals (like veg, meat, potatoes) and do maybe an hour of exercise a day or do 15 minutes during certain times of the day (don't do it before bed).
i don't know why you'd be listening to someone who has no idea what they're on about me but hey ho
Now the thing is with the bicep curl machine I feel that it doesn't hit my muscle and that it just puts strain on my arms but I find that when I use this I can usually lift more than I can with free weights so for Lewis he can lift 18KG using this machine. However I'm more of a free weight and plate person and prefer to use it the non machine way.
Now when I use the free weights preacher curl I lift a 12.5KG Dumbell x 12 sets of 3
Preacher Curl bar around 20KG 7 sets x 3
When I do tricep with free weights I usually do 15KG skull crushers 8 x 3
I actually find this to be a very good thread about working out in general. Many people forget the mental advantage you gain from doing this aswell. Eating healthy has proven to be very good for mind, concentration and mindset aswell. I don't want to say that working out and having a diet will get rid of your mental issues, but It certainly helps. You have more stuff to do, to distract yourself, and like I said, a healthy diet gives you a better mindset. Even if you begin slowly, you will soon feel an improvement.
I went from:
Eat then vomit
repeat two times a day
To this:
Eat then excersise
Repeat two times a day
If you are worried about your weight just don't be silly about it. If you struggle to lose weight you aren't doing it right and likewise if you can't gain weight you are not doing it right. Live to be healthy not for mad gains and shit, get professional help if you're not healthy and don't go to a sea of probable liars who really sit at their computer all day rather than the stories they spew on this post.
