Goddamn it, why did I quit lifting?

I got back in the gym after quitting for fall harvest. Christ, I'm sore as fuck. Jesus what a pussy I am.

As long as you come back you always have a chance to reach your goals man. Eat good and lift on a consistent basis after 3 weeks you'll see your gains. After a few months other people will comment.

I'm hoping to find an exercise routine that will raise my stamina up to take longer shifts at ice hockey and increase my skating speed.

So I've been doing upper/lower split 4 days a week. About 20 mins of cardio 3-4 days a week and 1 HIIT class.

Was thinking about switching it up and doing Upper/Lower/Push/Pull/Legs

Is that just too much especially on a cut?

The "eat good" part of it has always been my crutch. I'm a lot better than I used to be but I also drink beer too often (is that possible) so my fails have always been in the kitchen... I'm like adam sandler in click when he wakes up and hes all fat shaking his body after I go to the gym for 32 minutes expecting to be super cut and thin with ripped abs

You can edit the OP and "go to advanced" and you can change the title there.

[TinyEvel]

BTW I just got my stats from Strava (a cycling/running tracking app) and I rode my bicycle 2,678 miles in 2018.

That's roughly from San Francisco to Boston.

and rode/Climbed 34 vertical miles.

You can do it, guys!

What helps me is just focusing on the calories, protein and fat mins. I'll worry about cleaning up all the other stuff when I can eat around 2k om a daily basis. This month I've done that and kicked the booze as well.

Nice job.

I haven't received all my stats from Strava yet, but I've ridden
3,479 miles in 2018. Will be interesting to see what my vertical miles turns out to be.

Toning exercises are physical exercises that are used with the aim of developing a physique with a large emphasis on musculature. In this context, the term toned implies leanness in the body (low levels of body fat), noticeable muscle definition and shape, but not significant muscle size ("bulk").

Rode the Buffalo Headwaters Challenge this weekend. Around 31 miles with 4000’ of climbing on awesome single track. I was in good shape and felt good until the last 5 miles or so.

I’m 45 now, and no longer concerned about staying swole. Just want that functional strength, high level of fitness for endurance events and to combat my beer belly.

[2112]

I follow Greg Norman on Instagram. The guy is a beast at working out at 63 years old. For you older folks out there it’s pretty impressive.

[2112]

I have a lot invested in my retirement lol and I only got 10-12 years to go so I’m not interested in spending it in a horizontal position or taking a dirt nap. I’m doing everything possible to stay in good shape.

Been waiting for it to get warmer and dryer cuz i like to work out in my back yard like a true thug.

Been warm and dry enough. It's time. Trying to complete my 2nd straight week of 5x a week.

My workouts consist of 20 minutes of basketball everyday followed by 200 reps of various ab excercises (working on getting that number up) and a different muscle group everyday.

Monday: Chest and Shoulder
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Bi's and Tri's
Thursday: Legs and Back
Friday: Chest and Shoulder

Saturday: Rest or play some B-ball or Football at the park with the boys
Sunday: Rest.

Not trying to lose weight. Not trying to bulk up either. Just trying to stay fit and active.

Got back to cleaning up my diet and have dropped 4lbs in 5 days so far.

Switch your back and shoulders up.

? whatchu mean?

[penguinz]

? whatchu mean?do back with your chest workouts and shoulders with your legs.

You are overworking shoulders and underworking back.

So many people overwork shoulders. Especially front deltoids.

Stand up straight with arms at rest. Which way do your palms face?

[lewdog]

I've been saying this for years. If you're a natural lifter, most of the crap you read in fitness magazines has too much volume and is written by juiced lifters! You can't train the same way.

https://www.t-nation.com/training/3-reasons-you-cant-train-like-a-juicer?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=article5065&fbclid=IwAR2JgBKQMq8OiqgHmWl7Hw_8jvYlTg65bS47y3K2R3w-xjGCVQK0k3xq2w0

You've Been Fooled by Drugged Lifters
If you're a drug-free lifter, it's highly likely that you've been duped by lifters who use drugs. They didn't do it intentionally, but you've suffered nonetheless.

Here's what they did: They made you, the natural lifter, assume that drugs simply enhanced the response to training. You figured that there wasn't any reason you couldn't train like the drug user. The only thing that would be different was the magnitude of the results.

Not only was that assumption wrong, but that reasoning messed you up in a number of ways. Make no mistake about it, natural lifters shouldn't train the same way as enhanced lifters. Here's why.

1 – Juicers Convinced You to Use Too Much Volume
We know that building muscle is all about protein synthesis. The higher the rate of protein synthesis and the longer the rate of protein synthesis, the more muscle is produced.

Performance-enhancing drug users have an enhanced level of protein synthesis 24/7 because that's one of the main effects of steroids (the effect of growth hormone on protein synthesis is debatable).

Even if PED users didn't trigger a higher level of protein synthesis through training, it doesn't matter, they'll still progress. A natural lifter's normal state is homeostasis: protein synthesis and protein breakdown are pretty much equal. He needs to stimulate protein synthesis (through mTor activation, mostly) with the workout itself.

In other words, the natural guy is dependent on the training session to stimulate protein synthesis. That's not true of the enhanced lifter. That doesn't mean that the training session isn't important for the drug user, it just means that his workout is pretty much bulletproof.

Even if the PED user breaks down a lot of tissue using too much volume, or even if he doesn't do enough to maximize protein synthesis, he'll be fine. Protein synthesis and growth will still occur. Not so for the drug-free lifter. He needs "Goldilocks" training: Not too little volume, not too much volume, but just the right amount of volume. Otherwise, he doesn't grow, and he could even lose muscle.

2 – Juicers Turned You Into a Cortisol Waste Dump
Cortisol is devastating for natural lifters. First, it opposes protein synthesis by increasing protein breakdown, but it also has an impact on the expression of the myostatin gene, which limits the amount of muscle you can carry.

Cortisol can also inhibit mTor activation via an increase in AMPK. mTor is basically a muscle-building switch, so if you inhibit mTor you stop muscle growth. This means that cortisol not only increases protein breakdown (muscle loss), it can actually decrease or even stop protein synthesis.

The role of cortisol during training is to mobilize energy stores to give your body fuel for muscle action. The more fuel you need during your training, the more cortisol you will produce.

It's easy to understand that the more training volume you do, the more fuel you'll need to mobilize, and thus the more cortisol you'll release. That's why excessive volume is the number one problem for natural bodybuilders. Doing too much high volume in a workout can actually stop a natural guy's gains.

A steroid user, however, is somewhat protected against the negative impact of cortisol. Since the anabolic drugs greatly increase protein synthesis around the clock, he will more than counterbalance the increase in cortisol, within reason.

Steroids and cortisol also share the same intracellular second messenger, so the more anabolic hormones you have in your body, the harder it is for the cortisol to interfere with muscle growth. Again, what's called for is a volume sweet-spot where cortisol release is limited.

3 – Juicers Made You Think You Can Grow From High-Rep Sets
Enhanced lifters can gain a lot of muscle from doing plenty of work with lighter reps – things like high-rep work, drop sets, etc. That's because they don't need to trigger protein synthesis with the workout itself.

Doing very high rep-work will drive more blood into the muscles, and if that blood is loaded with amino acids, they're then supplying their muscles (that already have an enhanced level of protein synthesis) with the nutrients needed to take advantage of their high rate of protein synthesis.

As such, steroid users don't need fairly heavy work as much as natural lifters do. In fact, since many steroids tend to make the muscles proportionally stronger than the tendons themselves, focusing too much on heavy lifting might lead to devastating injuries.

I'm not saying that light pump training doesn't work for natural lifters. Hypertrophy can be stimulated with light weights if you go to failure. The problem is what happens in the body when very high reps are combined with light weights. Sure, you'll eventually get maximum muscle-fiber recruitment as you build fatigue during the set, however, if it takes you 15 or 20 reps to "get there" instead of 6 to 8, then you're spending twice as much glycogen to achieve the same effect.

Remember, the more energy (glycogen) you need to mobilize, the more cortisol release you'll get! That's why super-high rep work is not ideal for natural lifters, especially if you do a lot of sets.


How Natural Lifters Should Train

The volume per workout should be limited. Excessive exercise variation is the enemy of muscle growth. Look at all the top natural lifters. They stick to a small number of exercises. They'll use some variation from time to time, but for the most part they stick to the same exercises.
Push/pull routines are often optimal for the natural bodybuilder. They allow for the most recovery between training sessions.
Generally speaking, most sets should be in the neighborhood of 8 to 10 reps, with higher-rep sets reserved for warm-up or preparation sets. However, if a natural guy is going to do lighter pump work, he should make sure to consume a carb/protein blend pre-workout and during the workout. (Plazma™ is the top choice here.) This makes glucose readily available for fuel so he won't need to mobilize as much stored glycogen and he won't release excess cortisol.
Since a natural lifter needs to rely on the actual workout to trigger protein synthesis, and considering that protein synthesis remains elevated for 24-36 hours in a muscle after it's trained, a natty needs to train each muscle more often. Otherwise protein synthesis in a muscle won't be elevated long enough over the course of a week to get maximum growth. Once is not enough. For the most part, working a body part twice every 8-day period is optimal.

I've joined the best gym I've ever gone to (and I've been to quite a few). It's called Orange Theory Fitness. It's a full hour of HIIT training with a class. Half the class starts out on the treadmills and half on the rowers and weights. Halfway thru, we switch.

Cool thing is there's a heart monitor on everyone that is up on the screen. Once you reach 84% heart rate, you're in the Orange zone. Every minute you are there is a splat point.

When you get done, you've burned 800 calories and each splat point equates to how much you continue to burn over the next 36 hours.

It's awesome.
