I bought a few flanels last year and theyre baggy as hell in the body and tight in the arms/shoulders. Everyone of them have ripped elbows on both sides from bending my arms. Big arms suck.

Lost 11 pounds in the last two weeks.
Always amazed how fast this happens with me.
Didn't even exercise particularly hard or do cardio, just a bit of weight-lifting.
A change of diet is obviously the biggest factor.
Not sure how to continue with that. I kinda wanted to relive the glory days of having a six pack, my girlfriend said she doesn't like that and prefers to have what little fat I have for kneading and cuddling purposes.
I don't let her dictate my looks (and she's not aiming to) but a six pack is hard to achieve and maintain, so I might just let her convince me otherwise.

Yeah if you're over 20 I'd say a 6-pack requires either serious dietary dedication (and restrictions) or intense aerobic exercise...I imagine.

Also, you're European, why are you using pounds?

I'm 31 and you're right. I'm in good shape but it's very hard to get rid of this last little bit of fat there and really have definition.

And I use pounds because most people here are american. **** non-SI units, obviously.

does cardio ever not feel like death

is the whole point of it just a mind/matter situation?

would doing sets of short sprints be adequate rather than trying to jog for miles? help me I hate it

H.I.I.T has been know to be great. example would be jump rope for 30 seconds to a minute. then rest for a bit and repeat.

There is no specific formula to HIIT. Depending on one's level of cardiovascular development, the moderate-level intensity can be as slow as walking A common formula involves a 2:1 ratio of work to recovery periods, for example, 30–40 seconds of hard sprinting alternated with 15–20 seconds of jogging or walking, repeated to failure.
