Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 239

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.

Mine is 2238.

So

2238-1252 (my calories today) = 986

So add whatever I lose at the gym, thats a pretty good day, right?

Yeah, and any other activities you have done for the day (walking, etc). Your BMR is calculated as if you are completely sedentary, if I'm not mistaken.

Yup.

Some BMR calculators try to factor in your activity level, but don't trust those.

**Buck** · 05-11-2010, 12:55 AM

Just got back from the Gym, whew, basically just did 30 minutes of intense (for me) cardio.

I am out of shape thats for sure.

Question, does wearing a sweatshirt help you burn more calories or does it just make you hotter and sweat more? I wore a sweatshirt the whole time and worked up a pretty good sweat.

According to my BMR and what I ate today and my workout...

1252 calories eaten - 2238 BMR - 407 Calories burned in workout = -1393 calories for today. Pretty good for my official day one.

Silock · 05-11-2010, 01:18 AM

No, wearing a sweatshirt just makes you hot and sweaty. I mean, it could lead to more water weight loss, but you'll just gain it back when you drink and eat. Plus, being overheated while you work out can negatively impact your ability to perform and really give it 100% effort.

Thanks.

I won't do that again.

First time fasting is underway. 12hrs to go. Headed to Starbucks for a black coffee.

I am curious to see how the workout at lunchtime goes.

Later.

Let's not forget 'cosmetics' when we go in that gym, Buck, okay?

Thanks handsome!

SenselessChiefsFan · 05-11-2010, 06:54 AM

Am of course.

That's right. I'm 6'0, weight can be anywhere from 216 to 224 on any given day (today was 219). And somehow I have a 43 inch waist.

You've got great child bearing hips

I think people think they look like MMA fighters or boxers when they're doing that. Of course.... MMA fighters only do that if they're trying to make weight.

**Saulbadguy** · 05-11-2010, 07:34 AM

Slightly OT: But one of my pet peeves at the gym are these 2 douchebag guys that insist on dropping the barbell on the floor (and causing a loud noise to emit throughout the gym and sometimes scaring people). Maybe they can't take the weight anymore, but isn't that what the spotter is for?

I just think they are attention whores.

cookster50 · 05-11-2010, 07:48 AM

Ok, I've gone back 20 some odd pages. What is the deal with fasting? Doesn't sound healthy to me.....
