Just food for thought.

Like life, we have to weed through the garbage to find gold.  There is alot of garbage on the internet but it is up to the individual to "debunk" what is right and wrong.

Thats why I said for me, and I didn't speak on behalf of the rest of the world. As such I offered advice to someone who was looking for it. But thanks for trying to read my post atleast... means alot.

That 'barren site' is listing a routine that has worked for thousands and has created some of the strongest athletes as it's a routine taken from another place and built upon. It's not complicated at all and he goes through the whole routine with you and why you do it certain ways and why you leave out other things. Even links you to a previous even simpler article he wrote on the same subject. If anyone (even a newbie) really takes the time to read it and click the links he has put to videos of exercises, and look up the other exercises he has missed, its all very straight forward.

Answers don't come cheap in the world sometimes though (as they shouldn't), either you can pay for a trainer as you mentioned (but you are not ever guranteed a good product from a generalize trainer at a gym), or you can spend more then 10mins looking through a site and studying what you are about to put your body through and research how you want to train. I opt for option #2 and thats why I put so much time and effort into my athletics and coaching practices. Not to mention I offered to help in this thread with any questions. =)

I'd like to comment on something else too but please don't take offense.

The "I do more work" means nothing when you are in the shape you are in meford. I don't mean this as an insult at all, but to be in the shape you are in there are obvious lifestyle AND exercise flaws. I'm sure you will be the first one to admit it, so again, it's not meant as an insult, but letting you know it's a common thing heard day in and day out in the fitness world from people all shapes and sizes that like to use these lines for whatever their personal reasons may be. I can't tell you why you use them nor would I guess, but I can tell you that they are usually used as a way to block other things people dislike in their lives, and to hide the true nature of things. We like to point the finger at others instead of looking at ourselves alot, its almost part of our DNA =P.

Again not an insult, I'm just pointing something out that hopefully you yourself are aware of as I've seen you post many of times on here about your own weight and how you should fix things.
