Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 309

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've never had built shoulders until the last month or so. I'm getting pretty happy with mine.

Yes they are....

****. I planned a 7 mile run this morning before work and ran out of ****ing time. I had to quit early because I was going to be late for work. Matched last weeks run and did a 10k in about 75 minutes. Oh well, try it again in a few days.

6.21 mis in 75 mins is pretty damned good, floppy. WTF?

I think I may suffer from bad genetics here.

With dumbbells I do 40 lbs 10 times, currently. I'm pretty cautious with military press because I had a "coalminers fracture" when I wan in HS & when that scar tissue tears, I can't move my head for about a week.

How much do you military press? I don't do it much. I usually do dumbell presses.

Wow, you should be able to nearly double that if you work on it!

Just be sure to practice proper technique. Once you get the weight halfway up, use your back to push it the rest of the way up.

Take it slow, and up the weight. I don't think you're genetically screwed. You just need to use more weight.
