Too much body fat is basically as dangerous as too much glucose, testosterone, salt, iron, high fructose corn syrup or even oxygen.  Throwing off the normal parameters of the human body is never a good thing.  The main problem is that a lot of people who really ought to know better don't seem to realize that one person's normal parameters are going to be totally different from the next.  I get this a lot with my various chemicals (esp. the aggression causing shit - I've had well-meaning docs try to raise those with hilarious results.)

Who says that an obese person is throwing off their genetic body parameters?  They may be healthiest at a large weight, because of a large bone structure and just the genetic components in them that want to make them fat.  There isn't anything wrong with that.  I'm not talking about  people who are at the SUPER extremes of 500+ lbs; I'm talking about people who qualify as being obese but are otherwise healthy, because it is definitely possible.  And there are two types of body fat, so too much of one isn't gonna be bad while too much of another is actually a problem.

If you'd stop ranting for a minute, you'd figure out that that's exactly what I just said.

Oh, yes.  Oops.  But I was mostly replying to the first part about throwing off parameters.  Not the second part where you agreed  :derp: :slow:

For Det, here is that list of Clutch-approved exercises for the circuit I've been on. I've linked to demonstration videos for the more esoteric exercises.

-leg press
-Yates row/T-bar row
-dips, weighted or unweighted
-incline machine benchpress
-deadlift/trap bar deadlift
-machine pullover
-slow dumbbell shrugs (pause 2 sec. at top)
-hip adduction
-hamstring curl
-leg extension
-seated calf raise
-hack squat
-bicep curl
-tricep press
-abdominal machine

There are a couple here I've never tried and a few that require special equipment your gym may not have (trap bars, for example, are rarely seen). However, it should besimple enough to find four to seven exercises that cover most or all of the muscle groups and that you would feel comfortable performing every time you go to the gym.

The important things to remember if you want to try my plan:

1. Do only one set per exercise, but don't end the set until you experience muscle failure (i.e. you absolutely can't do anymore).
2. Allow 3 or more minutes between each exercise.
3. Never perform fewer than 4 or more than 7 exercises in a workout session.
4. Never work out* more than twice a week (every 4 days).
5. Keep a record of your workouts, including date and time, exercises performed, weights and numbers of reps.
6. During each rep, follow a 5-second up, 5-second down cadence. THIS IS VERY SLOW.
7. Aim to reach muscle failure in 8-12 reps, or 80-120 seconds at the proper cadence. Adjust the weight to meet this goal.

* = "Work out" in this case is intended to mean weight training. Do cardio training as often as you want, but realize if you are trying to build mass that excessive cardio is counterproductive.

I read in an article in my school newspaper about exercising. One thing it emphasized was to avoid an exercise routine. You should go biking one day, swimming another, running the next... Apparently if you keep your body guessing, it has to work harder and you get more out of your exercise.

That is true, Buge, but it really only applies to cardio. When they say "you get more out of your exercise" that way, they mean to say that you're burning more calories, but when you're doing weights and trying to build muscle like I am, burning excess calories actually makes the whole process slower and more difficult.

I've got a pretty aromatic fresh vat of Folger's, will that work?
