Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 240

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.

I have always worn pants & hoodie when lifting, even in mid summer. I like to keep warm & sweat, plus I like no scraping skin off my shins when DL'ing.

I'll try to picture myself as a MMA fighter next time I'm pulling 500+.

I just think they are attention whores.

correct, I've seen the type, too.

I'm 14 hours into mine. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

I was checking around looking for energy drinks that don't have any calories and I've yet to find any. All of those bastards have at least 10 calories in them. ****ers!

There are parts of it that are not fun. I woke up this morning and was instantly hungry. Obviously that's because I'm used to eating at a certain time. That's why I'm doing the whole fasting thing. I want to get my body out of this schedule where it thinks I NEED to eat as often as I do.

**Saulbadguy** · 05-11-2010, 10:37 AM

6 and a half hours to go until glorious meal time!

I think we are all fasting today. What gives?

I am making it with whole wheat crust and fat free cheese. Yeah I will probably keep it under 800 calories of intake for the day.

What should your calorie intake be on a fast day?
