Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 258

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.

I might avoid an occasional meal by getting a meal replacement smoothie at Smothie King but I've never done the shake thing. Protien Bars but they seem to have lots of fat.

Pretty cool routine. My routine is actually quite similar now that the weather is warmer. I play racquetball rather than soccer and I mountain bike rather than spinning class. I told myself I would try spinning this winter to keep my legs in shape for spring, but too many r-ball tounaments kept me from doing it.

This seems like a really cool thread to keep everyone focused and motivated. I'm glad I found it.

I didn't ask for it, believe me. I arose from the will of the people, much like George Washington. Or Mussolini.

Not all of them. Pure Protein bars are delicious, and only 180 calories.

perhaps your best post 'to date' - what a gem, well done.

**luv** · 05-12-2010, 08:10 PM

I am down 2 lbs for the year. Considering I gained 10 lbs first, I'd say I'm on the right track now.

O.K. I'm a dumA, wtf is Spinning? I do ride my mountain bike as part of my crosstrain though. Of course it's on the raod or concrete bike trail. Sometimes I ride up the grassy hill by Carver MS. When I'm feeling frisky.

Well, it's good to be loved. My boys are finally asleep so I get to finally go work out. Take it easy.

**Buck** · 05-12-2010, 08:13 PM

Not sure if it's the amount of water I'm drinking but my last 4 bms (1 yesterday 3 today) have all been completely water and the last one had lettuce floating around in it.

I don't actually follow much of Silock's routine (at all... I've been on a kettlebell only routine for the last few months, about to switch up, though). I do appreciate his no-bullshit approach to nutrition, diet, and fitness, though. The fitness world is filled with commonly accepted fallacies with zero scientific backing. I like that his (and Barban and others) approach is to cut through the bullshit and examine the science.

HIIT on an indoor stationary bike. The bikes aren't like the regular bikes in the gym, though. They have the SPD clips like a real bike, and spin way faster, with an analog adjustment knob for resistance.
