Psychological fitness is more important than physical fitness.

Both are equally important!

Just looked in the mirror. I (partially) see a 4-pack finally forming. I have never had anything like this before. I think I've had a belly since I was around 7. Going to go swimming for the first time tomorrow since I was, what, 5 or-so? (I always made excuses at school to not take part. Yolo.) Fuck yeah.

LOL, good to know Leif!

You didnt take your shirt off in public for 10 years mate? Wow, that is sad!

I wish I was taller so I could get those "V" lines/sex lines/adonis belt/whatever the hell it's called. Damn you shitty genetics.

It's not about height and genetics is an excuse mate. Dedication is they key word, just keep on doing what you're doing and give your body time to change. Not sure how old you are either so that can play a big role as well.

If you are depressed, for example, you don't give a shit about your sixpack.

Far fetched example. If you're depressed then mental strength is out of the question also. I understand if people don't want to exercise, in the end of they day one will find an excuse why not to. Jedem das Seine.

Besides, why not both? Working out regularly makes you more disciplined, you must endure and overcome physical and mental obstacles and you feel better & healthier.

In a sense you're right but having one of them doesn't rule out the other one and quite frequently one is caused by other

You play football 6 times a week, which is already an immense cardio. So i'm guessing in order to lose 3kgs you'd need to adjust a bit of your eating habits. But by any means, you are not fat, ideal weight. Don't overtrain, mate!

For weight training try doing compound movements - movements that involve more than one muscle group.(bench press, pull ups, squats, push ups etc) Isolation movements on their own aren't that good unless you're lagging. (all sorts of curls) Footballers have very strong legs and core so if your aim is to be better at football aim for those groups. Find different exercises to improve your core muscles and mix it up. Doing only sit ups isn't going to help you much, if anything will give you back problems. Strong rectus abdominis, obliques and (lower) back muscles are important for posture and body's stability. Many footballers also do lunges to strengthen their legs but also ligaments. You're right about the less weight more reps part, though!

That was my view on this, do what ever feels right for you and hopefully you'll achieve your goal. Good luck!

Nope, thanks to my genetic makeup I don't put on a lot of weight.

That 'saying' is pseudo-philosophical, far too simplistic. Paul Gascoigne has been in the news lately, try telling him that.

In the end of the day, everyone should do what ever they want. I couldn't be bothered about people, who make up excuses to somehow justify themselves. Paul Gascoigne is far from being physically fit anymore and has got an addiction to alcohol. Hope you enjoy what you do and if that makes you happy - go for it. It's childish to argue, which aspect is more important. In that sense rmpr hit the nail on the head with saying that both are equally important and for many having one improves the other. But then again you can go on and play Freud.

I ignored rmpr's post, just because of how illogical & ridiculous it was to consider the two as 'equals'. Considering our reality and the organ that perceives it.

It's no excuse, it's a convincement.

There are far more important things in life than doing weight lifting etc. If you ask people who are about to die what things they regret, none of them will say 'Oh I feel so sry for myself that I didn't do any exercises.' but stuff like 'I should've spent more time with my family'. As long as your diet is alright your physical appearance will be too.

However, if you have a super-body but you don't enjoy your life all you see is darkness. I know people who are close to me that are going through hell even though they are great in shape. But they couldn't care less about what BMI they have.

I get your point and agree completely. If training starts to interfere with your life, then you must set your priorities right. You're correct about training not being the first thing on the list. Though, when did someone say it should be? It's logical that if a person is depressed that he will most likely think about the topic that made him depressed in the first place. It can be relationships, it can be job related and it can be something to do with his body and appearance. That's why I thought it was a bit far fetched. People may not look back at life and regret not doing enough exercise but isn't that with most of things? It isn't like they will think back and ponder why didn't they attend of discount sale at a local supermarket.

Like I said, there are people who enjoy doing physical exercises and there are those who don't. Simple as that. Moderate activity is good for anyone and to be fair - mandatory. Keeps your cardiovascular system in check, boosts your energy and for many it gives self confidence. We can start fetching extreme examples but the only way to train isn't to perform strenuous regimes for 2-3h a day every day of the week. I'll add one more thing - skinny =/= healthy. There are people who are described as skinny fats. Look it up, you can be skinny as a twig but still have body fat percentage the one of an obese person. So saying that I dont pack on weight due to my genetics is correct, because muscle is heavier than fat - figure the rest out yourself. Believe me, if you are in your sick bed with a diagnosed stroke or heart attack and the doctor says all this could have been avoided with very moderate regular exercise, you WILL regret being lazy and for making up excuses.

Need some help. Bought some creatine powder and on the back it says mix with water or fruit juice, I take its fruit juice as in 100% pure fruit juice like orange, apple or cranberry juice and not like say diluting juice like Robinsons yeah? Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyones takes it with anything else to make it taste a bit better that they could share would appreciate it.

[Leif 6,006]

@,

I think it's best to take it with apple juice or unsweetened orange juice if you don't mind the taste. I remember reading something about the natural sugars in it spiking your insulin levels which basically mean the Creatine is better absorbed.
