As long as they don't interfere with my workout then I don't care what they do. At my gym there's this old lady who comes in and treats the ab area as her own personal workout area, super setting between every piece of equipment there and mean mugging everyone. Then she goes and rides the stationary bike in her little tennis skirt and shows her nasty @%$ to the whole gym. I wish I could stomp her out. That and the dudes who look like Mac from always sunny strutting around like they're jacked as hell when they're just fat

Ok, so I was at 230 lbs. I lost a few pounds early on by accident basically. Wasnt trying to lose it, it just kind of happened because I was busy and what not. I decided since I had lost some I should keep it up. Well I am down to 190 now, which feels good, but I still want to get down to about 180. I hate working out so I lost all the weight by diet only basically. I do some pushups and situps but nothing that serious. I feel like losing this last 10 pounds has been more difficult though. Are there any exercises I can do at home that will help get this last 10 pounds off?

I do notice a lot of guy like that, usually just ignore them. It's just another way for insecure guys to feel more confident. But sometimes, I can't help but just laugh. Especially, when they're walking at the speed of 2.0

Cardio or high reps should help with your last 10 lbs. Once you get to a weight that's sufficient to your height, it'll be hard to lose anymore weight unless you completely stop the intake. What I would do is do as much walking or exercising as you can while stay on your diet. For example, when you're going grocery shopping. Park little further then usual so you can get some walking in. You can increase the intensity by carrying your groceries back to the car. I can't stand it when people go to the gym but try to find the nearest parking spot.

Aite so I really need to start eating healthier and start hitting the gym again. Do you guys think this is a decent diet? My goal is to lose fat.

Meal 2 (10:00 AM): cup of yogurt and a banana
Meal 3 (12:30 PM): chicken breast and salad
Meal 4 (3:00 PM): some snack (almonds, string cheese, crackers, etc.)
Meal 5 (5:30 PM, pre-workout): 1 PB&J (organic peanut butter and I won't put much jam
)
Meal 6 (8:30 PM, post workout): chicken burgers or chicken breast, broccoli, carrots, brown rice
Others foods I'll be eating also:
-Tuna
-Apples
-Grapes
-Pasta with chicken meatballs
I'm going to avoid all fast food and soda.
Opinions? Thanks guys.

My opinion is that your post is useless, sorry.
Find the nutritional info on the food you're eating and post that with each meal (calories, protein, carbs, fat). Post your height and weight if you dont know your maintenance calories, otherwise post that.

Whats a good well balanced shoulder exercise routine?
Currently I do something like:
DB or BB shoulder press
Side raises
Smith machine shoulder shrugs (bar behind)
Power cleans
I want to work on the traps too..

Doing my second round of starting strength 5x5. I feel like everyone should a cycle of this at least once a year. Your numbers will skyrocket. Such a great feeling after when you push your body to its limits

As for traps, the only exercise that has really worked for me is upright rows. When I was doing GVT, I would do 10x10 of just the bar alone and my traps would explode

I've read a lot of people on bodybuilding.com and other sites say upright rows are bad for your rotator cuff, too much weight and lifting them too high will really strain it. Is that true?

Upright rows are a garbage exercise IMO. They have a higher risk of injury. I tweaked my wrist and had a nagging pain for several months. Heavy deadlifts are great for traps. Shrugs can also be done as well but I incorporate them into my shoulder workouts. Make sure you don't rotate your shoulders, just shrug up and down with a full ROM

Squats and deadlifts are best kept in the low rep (1-5) range, right? For as long as I've done them, that's all I've done them in and that's how I made my strength gains.
Not sure if I'm missing out on better gains, but I find that keeping the reps low means better form and it's easier to get stronger. I'm trying to get a 280 lb squat and a 350 lb deadlift by the end of next year. It's been a long while since I've deadlifted... I need to get back into that.
