Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 45

SenselessChiefsFan · 11-28-2009, 07:40 PM

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.

Well I havent workoed out since Thursday night and I feel like a gelatanous poop. I went to LA for the weekend and ate like shit. Of course I tried to eat the best I could, but eating out every meal, not good. Plus it was Vday wknd and chocolate is a must!

So, here I sit feeling bloated and big. I see my trainer tonight though, so its back on! Plus I did my cardio this morning.

Also, I get my test results (Checking my hormones and thyroid becasue it is extremely difficult for me to lose weight. Plus my trainer wants to see all that stuff as well). Its funny becasue I want the doc to tell me Im fine and nothings wrong, but at the same time hearing that would mean I have to work harder??????

Then, tonight I went in and hit my back and biceps. I got 8 pullups, neutral grip. After those eight though, I can't get more than four in any additional set. I do 10 sets of pullups, five neutral, five Wide grip alternating with a minute rest in between. Then, I go do wide grip on the pullup assist machine to work on strict form. I do half my body weight focusing on keeping my shoulder blades together.

Great workout. Nice to see progress. I want to get to where I am doing 100 pullups on back and bicep day. 10 x 5 neutral, 10 x 5 Wide grip.

Of course at that point, I guess I will be using a weight belt.

Okay, so I found out that the average guy has upper arms at 13 inches. (flexed) My upper arms are 15 inches flexed. They are 15.5 inches with a good pump. So, post how big your upper arms are. I know mine will be small compared to some on here.... but I was at least happy to see they were above average.

Where are you supposed to measure from? I'm at 17" flexed on the bicep, but that seems like cheating.

I think that's what you're supposed to measure. That's what I measured at least to get 15".

That is it. At the peak of the bicep, flexed.

Silock · 02-16-2010, 02:54 PM

Hmm. I wonder how big it would be after working out. Would be interesting to see.

SenselessChiefsFan · 02-16-2010, 02:55 PM

Well, I check the calories on the Panda Express meal I have been ordering. It is 510, with 38 grams of protein. Perfect. Now, I wish we had a Panda Express closer to my house. It is fewer calories than subway, and way fewer carbohydrates and sugars.

Today is leg day. I have also moved my lower back to my leg day. I have more time, plus, the exercises for my legs tie into my back and the exercises for my lower back tie into my legs/glutes.

Working in a new exercise today, cable pull throughs. Tomorrow is an off day. That is good and bad. It is good because I can work like a dog tonight.... the bad part is that it is leg day, and I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.

I imagine you will get another half inch.

Silock · 02-16-2010, 03:15 PM

That's fairly disturbing.

Sweet, I'm gonna measure mine. I have huge guns. We should have a gun show on the planet, with all of us posting pictures of our tape-measure wrapped biceps. Arrrrrgh.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 02-16-2010, 04:18 PM

I ****ing hurt today. Got my weight training, and have a nice little routine now.

I also remember why I quit going to the gym after I started lifting weights the last time. It is incredibly ****ing difficult to do cardio for 45 minutes directly after lifting weights.

Time to man the **** up.

Silock · 02-16-2010, 04:38 PM

You don't need to do that much cardio after weights. 15-20 is fine.

After about two weeks you won't hurt so much. It's pretty incredible.

I really only planned on about 30, but it got so much easier after 15-20 that I just went. Bad idea?

Yeah, I remember how brutal that 2 week stretch was the last time I started lifting. **** it. Pain is temporary. Glory is forever.

That depends. What kind of cardio are you doing? I would recommend doign 15-20 minutes of HIIT and not more of steady-state.
