I'm not trying to get skinny here. I wanna get jacked now. The only problems I'm having is endurance, which I know I need to lose some weight. I'm the only freshman linebacker =)

Problem with that is that if youre already fat, lifting and NOT losing weight will just make you fatter, granted, you will be muscular, but you wont necessarily look any better.

I really am happy that you're doing this man. Stock up on protein and carbs (protein for building new muscle tissue, carbs to keep your muscles energized so you don't get sore), drink PLENTY of water and take your daily vitamin.

There will most likely be times when you want to quit. DO NOT QUIT. Simple as that my friend.

As of tommorow, I am going on a strict protein and good carb diet. I'm also going to start jogging, running, and lifting. My goal is to lose fat, and gain muscle, hopefully at an even rate.

If you hurt after lifting or exercising just smoke a little. Don't smoke BEFORE you lift, though, otherwise you'll never lift in the first place.

So I guess weed can alleviate any kind of pain in multiple ways. Pretty cool.

Be careful not to do too much too soon, or you could get shin splints or even stress fractures. A little pain is okay, but by starting cautiously, you won't be sidelined by injury-
Soon you will have to change your name to slim n' strong!

Take a hot bath to relax those muscles. Take a pain-killer- aspirin, tylenol, whatever. Smoke a fattie. You'll still hurt in the morning, but you'll survive.

aspirin and tylenol are pain relievers, not pain killers :thumbsup:

Sometimes I really miss them..

i remember my first double days in football
some of the worst soreness came from football lifting
there is one quote i will never forget by one of the conditioning coaches back a few years ago, "you're not going to die! ill tell you when you're going to die!"

[NextLineIsMine]

whatever you do man dont give up. I remember football double days and sometimes its just plain miserable, just ignore that desire to say fuck it this sucks and keep it up. Your best friends will be made through the team, it was some of my greatest highschool experiences.
