The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

Okay, so there are a ton of guys in here that are working out, trying to work out, or 'thinking' about working out.

So, I figured I would start a thread. I am all about making myself accountable. The more people that I tell about working out, the more people I would let down by not going.

If you go to the gym.... then post here when you get back. If you do P90X, post here when you get done. If you ride the excercise bike.... post it here.

Anything you do to get in shape.... share with the board. I know I have gotten some great advice and feedback.

Also, post what you eat. If you post everything you eat, and you know others will be critical, you may think twice before you grab a Twinkie.

Okay, so, I went to the gym. I did five minutes on the cross climber to warm up. I stretched for about three minutes.

Then, I did three sets of squats with just 135. I did back extensions and hanging leg lifts. Three sets each. I did leg curls, calf extensions, abductor and adductor excercises as well.

On my leg day, I do very light chest exercises to work on my explosive power. I do three sets of six pushups as explosively as I can. I throw the excercise ball up like a chest pass while laying on the bench.

Then, I finished off my workout with 30 minutes on the eliptical.

As far as my diet.

Breakfast two pieces of peanut butter whole wheat toast, protein shake, and banana.

I have had another banana, two yogurts, and a handful of cashews as snacks.

I didn't have a 'lunch' per se.

Kids had sloppy joes with lean beef (as if that makes it great).... I took a baked potato, and put a serving of sloppy joe over it, with jalapenos and 2 oz's of lowfat cheddar cheese.

I have also had shotgun with water, and synthesize with water.

I won't eat again before bed.


Okay, I know putting everything down here will open me up to criticism. I know some will think that I am doing things all wrong. I appreciate any advice, but I have done a lot of reading and talking to trainers.... so, I have an idea of what I am doing.... or at least what I think I am doing.

The point of this thread, isn't to get into pissing matches about how to do things.... but rather to give ourselves a gold star for making an effort.

Try not to beat anyone down on this thread, because this is about encouragement.

I am looking to take off about 50 lbs as fast as possible. Once that is up, I will be doing a traditional diet/excersize program.

Amputate a leg.... that is very quick.

You probably have huge legs.

Nothing worse than a guy with a huge gut and skinny legs.

Yeah, I definitely don't have skinny legs.

I had the absolute best workout I have had since I went on vacation. I don't know what it was, but I was a beast..... okay, so, I am not Silock beastworthy.... but I was a beast in my own mind.

Tonight was backs and biceps. I just started doing bent over rows.... I was doing all my back other than pullups and shrugs with cables. I now love them. I may marry them.

I did six sets of wide grip pull ups six reps each. I did three sets neutral grip, I was rowing sixty pounds, and I got on the lower cable row and went with a wide grip with 160.

I was reverse curling 50lbs, and I was doing hanging incline curls with 40lb dumbells.

Like I said, not Sillock or Hercules, but easily my best workout since coming back from vacation.

Oh, and I was shrugging 225 with good form.

Okay, now all the really big strong guys can come crush my ego.... but I feel pretty good about my workout.

As far as my diet goes. I am eating very well the last three days. I get up, get a protein shake, and then have a piece of toast with Peanut butter and a banana. Then for lunch, I do a piece of toast with peanut butter and an apple. Then for snack I do an apple and cottage cheese. And, for a late afternoon snack, I mix in olives or almonds.

Then, for dinner, I am downing a protein shake and a banana.

And, I just told my wife that she can't expect me to eat something that is counter productive

Could be a bunch of things. It could be blood in your stool (bad...), or it could be the result of something innocuous like eating licorice. I'd keep an eye on it.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the cable machine. Love it love it love it. It's really great for muscle activation, so it makes a great auxiliary muscle group worker.

And don't use me as a benchmark Makes me uncomfortable. For real.
