Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 175

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.

Yup. It really does help.

Ha! No. Not even close. I can't run 3 and a half in that time. 66 minutes, and mission accomplished. 5.5 miles. H/R peaked out at 178, but it was in the mid 170's the last 15 minutes I ran.

FINE! I'm going for five mis. today. Normal=4 mis.

Push those limits. I wanted to quit at the 5 mile mark pretty bad. I made it though. Bodybugg says I zapped up 1478 calories during that run.

I'm going to start doing sprints on the treadmill this week coming up. I figure it will be a good combination of HIIT, and improving my speed.

So I am going to make up a workout schedule using exrx.net. I want to do a Tue Thur Sat 3 days a week program. I see where I can pick what excersises I want to do but how do I know how many reps to do? sets? at what weight? And when do I do cardio?

RedThat · 05-01-2010, 02:05 PM

Advice to everyone, best time to do cardio is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

keg in kc · 05-01-2010, 02:14 PM

Trying something new today: chicken butter curry in the crock pot. We'll see how it turns out when I get home from work.

Yes. There are no appreciable benefits other than psychological.

Really? lol...is that alll you got you stupid motherfucker? Silock could you please do me a favor and get out here and own this a**hole right now or else I will do it myself.

Okay, so why don't you further elaborate, go more into detail, like give me some scientific reasons as to how it is not beneficial to do it early in the day.
