Can I be serious about getting into great shape if I have an office job? @MartyWallace the first six months was wasted doing p90x (only gained a few lb muscle). The next six months was StrongLifts 5x5 program, which took up 30 minutes a session (90 minutes/week). I would say I had notable progress after doing SL for 3 months, and realized the bulk of my overall progress after completing the 6 months of SL. Keep in mind, I could have seen even better progress and gains if not for the fact that I'm doing a bastardized version of SL5x5 (per doctor I cannot squat or DL until done with rehab). |

Can I be serious about getting into great shape if I have an office job? Here is a inspirational story for you, but first some background: I am a web developer who works 40-50 hour days, I have a son, and I go to college. My entire life I have been scrawny (90lbs middle school, 110 lbs high school, 130 lbs college). After less than 2 years of working out (1-3 days/wk, sometimes less) I have jumped to 170 lbs and gone down from 20 to 10%bf. I have six pack abs, amazing definition, and I had to change my wardrobe because of my larger arm size. If I can do it, I am sure you can; just put the effort in and don't give up. |

How can I measure my fitness at home without any instruments? I would suggest breaking this question into multiple separate questions. Points 3, 4, and 5 are all unrelated to the question raised in the title. |

Building a custom upper body routine Perhaps I should have worded the question better; I was worried the abs/core work would interfere with the rest, not the stretching. Specifically, I know that I will be using the core stabilizer muscles during some of my primary lifts, and that combined with the ab workout on rest days has me worried there will be a negative impact. Also, as far as handstand work, are you referring to handstand push ups, or just free-form balancing handstands? |

Building a custom upper body routine @DaveLiepmann Health is my primary goal, but only with regard to the rehab days. size and strength would be my primary goals. |

Building a custom upper body routine @Kate I put abs on the rest days because I imagine I will be too exhausted at the end of the A/B workouts to do the planks/crunches. As far as why I'm doing pushups/inverted rows, it was mostly just supplemental exercises for building bulk. |
