Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 246

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.

It's all good. As for injecting GH... go for it. I probably will at some point when I hit my 40s. It's like the fountain of youth. But for now... fasting is infinitely cheaper lol

Oh, and FTR, I don't have anything against Fasting. I don't think it is 'unhealthy'. And, if a person's primary goal is getting lean, then it makes a ton of sense. I just think that it is all based on goals. Perhaps I am archaic in my thinking. You have shown me the error of my ways in the past.

I don't think there's necessarily a right or wrong way to do things, really. Some people want to fast, some don't. Some want to eat a big meal before working out, some don't. In the end, it's the results that matter. And if what you're doing works for you, then stick to it. There are a lot of things that influence muscle growth and strength, and while a lot of it has to do with nutrition, a lot of it has to do with the intensity, frequency and volume of training. For most people, the limiting factor in their training isn't eating. You can eat and eat and eat and you still won't be able to gain an unlimited amount of muscle. That would be pretty cool, though.

Ok....so I ended my fast last night at 7 PM. I had a turkey sandwich and some a little serving of chips. It really wasn't an "ahhh" moment when the food hit my mouth......it was just...an "ok...I'm eating like normal" moment. So that's pretty good I think. It wasn't like I was ravenous and had to hurry up and eat more.

I'm going to try and stick to around 1600-1800 calories for today. I did some light cardio and circuit training this morning. I won't fast again until Friday.

All in all it wasn't that bad of an experience.

**Buck** · 05-12-2010, 09:57 AM

I woke up at 8:30 today. Yay! I know this doesn't sound good, but my normal wake up is from noon to 2 pm so yeah.

I weighed myself and I'm down to 305.8, down 5 lbs. since Monday.

I am like completely starving right now but all I have to eat has a lot of fat in it, which I want to cut down on a little.

I'm also gonna go to the gym later and I may go twice today.

Hey guys, I'm new to this place. I've been on a mission to get back into shape for quite a while now. I was up to 220 lbs at one point & I'm now under 190lbs. I hope it's cool if I jump in with you guys.

Welcome aboard.

Cool, thanks. Anyone have any experience with P90X? I've just started my second round & I love it. I got great results during my first 90 days.

P90X salesman? That would be an awesome job.

About your fatty food problem:

Check that out. I've found that eating the right fat helps me burn fat & makes me feel full.
