Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 255

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.

That's what I've always done, anaerobic (now there's a word you don't hear often) and then aerobic. Running first usually just led to bad workouts; out of gas before I even started. Even now I do all the boring bullshit before I run, whether it's push-ups or sit-ups or curls or extensions or lateral raises or whatever else I feel like doing that day. The few times I've done pushups after running this year, I've always been noticeably weaker than when I do it the other way around, or when it's not a running day.

I was just trying to encourage. Swinging the bat on top of whatever else cant hurt.

I regularly do an hour spin class and then an hour+ of weights after. It all just depends on your conditioning.

I agree, but let's not pretend it's going to make you stronger or anything.

I'm all about exercise that's fun. Batting cages would count, but it's not really that much exercise.

A protein powder that's all protein. Who'da thunk it.

And it was appreciated.

Fell free to suggest other things.

I really wish I had a bike. I'd love to go riding.

Here's my suggestion:

Anything you enjoy doing!

It's better than sitting around doing nothing.

Also, I'm trying to talk my dad into getting a punching bag to hang in his garage. I know I would have to watch my wrists, but I'd love to go to town on one. Great way to relieve stress/frustration. I may have to work on that some more.

I can only go by what I was doing originally in school almost 20 years ago (jesus), which was 6-8 miles/day running and then weight-lifting 3 times a week on top of that. I was never huge into lifting, though. I was doing it for baseball. I've always preferred running to anything else. But, either way, my conditioning/endurance was never any problem then. All I'm saying is that I was stronger and more efficient (and more focused) if the lifting was done first.

Now on the other hand, I think my "conditioning" would fall somewhere in the neighborhood of "pickled".

Looks like I should go for Casein Protein.

Unfortunately it seems like most protein powders are geared towards people worried about their Muscles. Not saying I'm not, I'm just trying to induce ketosis and keep it.

Any protein will accomplish this. All protein is used for muscles. You could just buy some chicken, too.

Most of the things I've been seeing have between 5-15 grams of carbs per serving.

If you are wanting to induce ketosis, don't use protein powder.
