I have been doing what I use to do when I started to workout and I am getting the results again. Now I remember when my uncle who was a professional full contact martial arts expert told me that doing high reps of dips push ups and crunches was the stuff. I think some of these so called nowadays experts are messing people up. Now I come from a family of athletes and I saw all types of workouts so I am open to different techniques. I am not against the technology nowadays but some of this stuff to me is out of control. Now I have heard that doing 300 400 crunches a day (different variations) is pointless. I disagree I have seen many people benefit from that. My ex did that and he is in excellent shape. Yeah he lift weights but he did dips and pushups. His triceps were very ripped and defined.I use to do that and I got the tones abs.   So when this stuff came out that doing high reps is pointless I stop. Dumb move on my part. My questions to all these so called experts is how can that be true when people I have seen do that and all the other old skool workouts and are in excellent shape.  I got in a lot of trouble listen to all these so called experts. When I first started running my uncle said take more protein and start doing squatting I did not listen cause I was all gym uppity. I was thinking what did he know he hung up his gym shoes years ago.  Well he was right. I should have maybe by now my legs would have the mass. I was reading all the new books and listening to all the experts. Doing that time they were telling runners take high carbs and very little protein. Now they changed that. See so some of this new skool stuff is not right. Now I like the new sports technology that has come into play but there needs to be balance. Listen I grew up in the hood and some of the men did not have a gym a membership or some fancy Hammer Strength equipment in the basement and they look better then people who do. Also they did not have to take all this high tech supplements. So explain that so called experts.  Also they are in ripped and swoll. So what are they doing? Look at these rappers. They have a interview with Nelly on here. He does not have some special exclusive workout. They are mainly old skool. Also they are in shape like hell so all you so called experts explain that. There needs to be some exposure with thinking everything new skool is right. I am all for the information and new technology but at the same time there is some things that can stay the same.  Also what if you do not have a gym what are  you going to do not workout. Yeah explain that so called experts. I am sick of these trainers with all these different theories. Nowadays there is to much confusion. I think it is on purpose because it is a market and confused consumers buy anything. What do you think? Explain so called experts.

I am have lose precentage on my body fat. I am just trying to figure out where. This is  confusing me. I need some understanding on this one.  This is strange.  I am really going through this time with all this working out crap. I have done some research about body fat precentage.  I have come to the conclusion that is just too complicated. I have never dealt with this issue until now. Does anyone have any tips. 

You know I normally have been able to workout during the monthly visit but lately I have to push to workout.  I have never had this problem in the past.  Today I just could not go. I missed my leg workout yesterday. I did not feel like squatting and  leg pressing doing this time. At least I did not get all bloated like in the past. I noticed that my joints are more sensitive during that time.  I just feel blah. I do not know if it has something to do with my age. I use to push through this when I was a little younger.  I could not go at all this week. I been running outside. Now when my monthly visit come the gym is a place I avoid. This is weird I was cranky like hell for 2 days straight.  I am working my abs like crazy could not do it this week.  What is wrong with me?  I wonder do the major fitness girls go through this.  I am blah mother nature is not being nice to me.  This monthly stuff is just taken it toll on me. Anybody dealing with this? I do not want this to affect my training.
