If your dad is 5'8" you should be aiming for 5'9" or 5'10" around so make sure you eat a lot.

12 glasses of water is a lot and definitely enough.

I'm Hindu as well, I assumed since you live in Bangladesh that you are Muslim.

Stuff like this doesn't make sense to me. Honey is nothing more than sugar, plain and simple. You have to be avoiding things like this at all costs to lose weight.

Provided you're sticking to your daily calorie limit, there's nothing wrong with it. Sugar doesn't make you fat; fat doesn't make you fat; carbs don't make you fat. Too many extra calories make you fat. Besides, there's a big difference between naturally occurring sugar in honey and refined sugar.

This is a most interesting thread, about those 'transformations' shown by programs like Insanity:

Seduced by the Illusion

It's amazing how the fitness industry tries to dupe us.

Just thought I'd post this:

This is for everyone who says squatting below parallel is bad for you.

Is squatting good for obese people? Especially for people who have lumbar pain issues. I have been having lumbar pain for quite sometime now.

If you're very overweight, and have lumbar issues, I'd have a chat with your doctor first to be honest. Or maybe a physio would be able to advise you better as a lot of doctors don't really understand about weight lifting.

Eh well I've got lower back pain as well that occasionally comes up. I've only started squats recently and in total have ever only done about five or six and that was a few days ago to check the technique (avoiding all leg-related exercises as I've got an injury)... Any link? Does squatting actually cause back pain?

Just joined the gym today and after using the rowing machine for 15 mins I got a blood blister on my hand, haha. I've got a fitness assessment thing next Monday.

My weight is getting low and lower. Even a week ago it was 48 kg now its 45 kgs! I'm as thin as Mitchell Starc or Ashton Agar. I'm following thedon5's advice though,.

How do you get a blood blister from rowing?

Buy gloves maybe. What gym you at?

I'm not really sure, it just appeared after I'd been going for like 15 minutes. The rest of my hands are completely fine, except it which is just below my left pinky. I did play golf yesterday (without a glove), so that might've had something to do with it.

Just the uni gym, pretty cheap ($295 for students) but probably a fair price considering how busy it can get.

Tweaked my back a bit over the weekend so might not be able to go gym all week. I bloody hate it when this happens! It was my own stupid fault: I lifted something the wrong way. Ironic really - I'd never dream of lifting a barbell that way...

In other news, I'm going to sign up for a Level 1 Fitness Instructor course. I enjoy fitness, I love being in the gym and I enjoy motivating people. With any luck that'll happen in October, so I can go straight to Level 2 in the New Year - after that, you're qualified.
