About Me...

I consider myself an average 33 year old guy who is married with two young kids. I work full-time during the day so my plan is to start my workouts no later than 5:30am. I know this is not going to be easy but I am determined to get in the best shape of my life!

    B-LINES Resistance Bands

    Resistance training bands are becoming very popular in the world of fitness today. They have been proven to help you burn fat and lean muscle faster than ever and are just as effective as weights. They are also very affordable, especially if you compare them to weights. You can pretty much incorporate them in everyday exercise routines. Most of BeachBody’s fitness programs utilize these bands. The P90X program which has more of a focus on building muscle can be 100% completed with resistance bands. You can even buy a door adapter and perform an alternative exercise to chin-ups with them. Resistance bands are also great for the traveler as they fit easily in your carry-on and are light weight.

    Personally, I was very skeptical about buying these resistance bands. I was always used to going to the gym and using their mass supply of dumbbells. I figured if I did not like them, maybe my wife would use them. I can tell you that I like them very much and my wife loves them. I am still a bit old-school and love free weights / dumbbells. I do highly recommend them if you do not have a full set of dumbbells though. I only have 30 and 40 pound sets of dumbbells so I use the resistance bands for all exercises that fall below the 30lb mark and I actually use the bands for exercises that exceed 40lbs. You can control the tension by shortening or lengthening the band.  

    I am not so sure if I will ever give up my love of weighted dumbbells but I know many people that have and only work out with the bands now.

      abone: Your workouts are not only impressive but very inspirational too, keep it up!

      Matt: Hey man, I just wanted to say that your blog is great! Two months ago my roommmate and I decided we were sitting on the couch too much, and we renovated the garage and turned it into a home gym, with floor mats and dumbbells, etc. We decided to do P90X, but since we're both traveling a lot this Summer we're not starting until the first week of September. Getting ready for P90X, I've been working out in the garage doing cardio and weights for about an hour a day, and I've been cooking a ton of healthy, high protein foods too. Altogether, I'm down about 15 lbs, and I feel great. I can't wait to start P90X next month, and I'll be reading your blog along the way for tips. Thanks for everything you've done!

      fightFATblogger: That is a significant drop. You may want to look at my P90X MASS routine, read the articles under the "popular post" column. Also, I highly recommend buying a 40lb exercise vest...I absolutely love mine and it crushes you during the chest workouts (I bought mine on amazon for $70)

      Otis: Hey I am 6 weeks in and I went to the gym to do some bench and I have gone from benching 315 to barely being able to do 195. I am pissed! I have lost so much strength!!! Any advice? I am ready to quit! Losing that much strength isnt worth the 2% bodyfat I have lost or all the beer I havent drank since day 1

      fightFATblogger: Thanks! Check out the link below but minus out the casein protein shakes to start. Both Drisc and I lost 27-30 pounds following this program for 90 days (I allowed myself about 5 cheat meals in 90 days)...we pretty much kept our calorie count between 1700-1900 a day. As you get more fit, your body will demand more calories (metabolism increases) so throw in those casein shakes or something similiar. Everyone is different so listen to your body to make sure you are eating enough. P90 will definitly get you ready for P90X, keep in touch... http://fightfatblogger.com/nutrition/
