Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 115

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.

**** YEAH! Class is cancelled tonight. About to head out to play soccer.

Still haven't eaten today. Odd. Will report back on fasted performance after 1 hour spin class, 1 hour of lifting and then soccer. Shouldn't be too bad.

This ON Whey stuff is pretty tasty. And cheaper than Jay Robb. I think I'll switch.

NP.

I'm not quite at the 100 lbs mark. I'm at 3x5 per side at 70 lbs + the bar. I'll get there in a month or two, though.

Indeed. Only this is worse, because my undergrad was all paid for by scholarships and I'm paying for grad school on my own lol

Did you get extreme milk chocolate?

Silock · 03-30-2010, 07:14 PM

Yeah... I'm tired. Could still sprint quite a bit, but recovery between was a bitch. Might skip leg day tomorrow, or at least go light.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-30-2010, 07:34 PM

I'm not going gung ho this week. I had enough frustration last week and discovered I, indeed did consume about 25% more calories than normal due to the extra working out. I'm going to take the advice I've been given on numerous occasion and just chill out. Relax. And enjoy the ride.

Ran 2.5 miles today. That's it outside of some leisure Rockband playing.

What I am focusing on is eating more cleanly. Instead of starving myself all day and then eating something that may or may not contain the calories they claim it does, I'm focusing on eating whole foods that I'm preparing.

The fact is, when I eat salad I lose weight. Now, I've lost some weight not eating salad, but I lose weight consistently when I eat salad. There isn't anything out there that I can't live without long enough to finish this process.

I guess what it comes down to is I'm going to quit being cute about it and just do what I know works.

Hammock Parties · 03-30-2010, 07:44 PM

At least you didn't get discouraged and quit, Floppy.

Well done.

Can anyone compare the EAS chocolate whey to the ON whey? I'm about out of my EAS and need to buy some more. I'll pony up the extra $$ for the ON, if it's worth it...

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-30-2010, 09:48 PM

So I do a full body workout 3 times a week. What could I throw in that would build my forearms up?

Start by making sure you grip the bars as tight as you can when lifting
