Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 153

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.

So....anyone have a good workout for someone who is getting back into weight training?

I do the C25K program and I'm looking for something to do on my off days.

I've posted a ton of routines in this thread. Just search for them, and pick one you like!

There's no secret to getting back into weight training. Just pick up some weights and go!

BACK from Week 2 Day 1 of C25K. Feelin' fine.

For dinner:

Nutrisystem Buffalo Chicken wrap
8 small olives stuffed with garlic
1 slice of whole wheat bread with fake butter spray
Broccoli with "cheese" sauce
Frozen mixed berries

Silock · 04-26-2010, 07:59 PM

Got a great chest and back workout in today.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 04-26-2010, 08:00 PM

Hey Silock, how much water weight can I expect to gain from Creatine? How fast will that happen? I think some of it already has.

Silock · 04-26-2010, 08:26 PM

A couple of pounds, but it goes away after a couple of weeks. It's just initially that it can happen. Some people don't experience it at all.

**Saulbadguy** · 04-26-2010, 09:02 PM

What kind of supplements, if any, should I be using? I'm on a calorie restricted diet of course (Nutrisystem), I could probably find out what i'm deficient in (according to the RDA).

I don't know much about creatine, glucosamine, chromium, coq-10, etc etc...any help?

Silock · 04-26-2010, 09:57 PM

Multivitamin and a good fish oil pill. Vitamin D3 if you don't spend a lot of time outside, and your blood levels are low (get it checked at the Doc first).

Creatine is the only actual workout supplement I can whole-heartedly recommend right now.
