Couple Questions(For Durden7, Trainers and other experienced people):
1. Have any of you guys like taken a "break" from exercising? Just to let your body rest for a week or something..
2. I have been gaining weight lately, and I do not know why.. lol.. I am at 158lbs right now, and I was trying to get lower to reduce body fat.. I know I have a good diet, I eat 2 big meals(breakfast and dinner) daily with snacks(fruits, almonds, oatmeal) in between, I take my 2 protein shakes daily, and I also do 15mins of cardio daily and 30mins on my rest days. What would you think, I need to cut back on to lose some body fat. I personally don't think I eat more than 1700-1800 calories daily.
3. Lower back, (directly on top of the glutes).. I feel that sometimes, when doing ab exercises I get soreness there and sometimes when I do Bent Over Rows, and Squats.. Is this normal?
4. What would you recommend for effective Shoulder and Tricep exercises? As of now, for shoulders all I am doing is Arnold Presses, and Front DB Raises; and for triceps all I do is the Cable Tricep Extension with the V Bar and dips.
Thanks.
