Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 149

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.

Oh, and I fail frequently.

This was a great workout.

Silock what exactly are pearl mountains?

Todays workout was 220 golf balls hit. 75 drivers ina row. That's significant because of the amount of movement and energy it takes to drive a golfball. Did a few abs and played with my ball. My new kettleball I mean. It's not heavy enough for the swing but I'm trying to concentrate and not just shoulder it up. I think I got it. I gonna get a bigger ball soon. ....My crazy crosstraining program is working though. My diet sucks......I've had about 6 ounces of steak today and some booze......

You've know what a pearl necklace is don't you?

Silock · 04-21-2010, 11:29 PM

It's like a superman extension, only without raising the legs. Supermans are probably better, though.

LetsSignRussell · 04-22-2010, 09:23 AM

The only thing I'm not noticing is direct bicep and calf workouts from that routine. Do I just rely on the pullups etc for bi's and squats/deads/cleans for calfs?

I'm getting excited for my race on Sunday. LOL, I hope I'm the fattest guy there.

Simply Red · 04-22-2010, 09:58 AM

i ate a candy bar just now. But I've been on protein overload and fish overload. I just wanted a damned candy-bar!

**Saulbadguy** · 04-22-2010, 10:14 AM

Got after it last night - after I did workout 2 of C25K I did the rounds on the weight machines. I like the weight machines better than free weights, they give me more control and I don't have to be near the douchebags.

The only thing they don't have is a machine to work my calves. What kind of exercises w/ free weights would anyone recommend for calves?

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 04-22-2010, 12:21 PM

Last run on pavement before my race on Sunday. Went just under 4 miles in a little over 45 minutes. I'm ready for this bad boy! I'm thinking about going to the gym this afternoon before the draft starts to get a monster workout in. I'd like to take it easy tomorrow and I'm taking Saturday off.

My birthday is on Monday and we're going out for lunch on Saturday at a buffet restaurant.

I haven't been eating much this week because I plan on "fueling" up for my race on Sunday.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 04-22-2010, 12:31 PM

I just don't understand this. My bodybugg tells me that I burn about 16-17 calories a minute on the elliptical machine at level 17 resistance. That's the same that my heart rate monitor said I burned. The elliptical machine itself puts me at 23-24 calories per minute.

The treadmill says I burn 16 calories a minute while I run. My h/r monitor and my bodybugg put that number at 23-24 calories a minute. Same for when I run outside.

Yet, it's a lot easier for me to run than it is for me to be on the elliptical. In fact, my h/r is higher at level 17 than it is when I run. Makes no sense to me at all. Anyone have any ideas why this is?

You can do calf raises on a leg press or hack squat sled.
