Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 401

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 to do a fitness test for my referee grade level. We have to do a distance run, 50M sprint and 200M sprint.

I can run all day long while playing or reffing a game. But I can not run just to run.

Oh, I see. I thought you were one of those sickos that were running just to run.

Strength, balance, stamina, meditation.

Fitness test for what? How far?

But if you're not running simply to burn calories, distance running is good.

Yeah, it's good. It just isn't as good as most other things.

Most other things being what? How are you defining the relative benefits?

The relative benefits being burning fat and building strength. Compared to something like crossfit, kettlebells, or plyo, distance running is a dog in terms of gains vs. time spent.

Silock · 08-02-2010, 06:21 PM

Distance running isn't meant to build strength, so I'm not sure why you're comparing it to resistance training programs. But distance running certainly has a place in any fitness routine. Neglect it at your own peril.

Brock · 08-02-2010, 06:59 PM

Nah, it isn't necessary. I have limited time and can get a better workout in half the time doing other things.

If you are a grade 7 or higher referee you have to do a fitness test.

I am grade 7 so I had to run at least 2200M in 12 min, 50M in 9s and 200M in 40s.

I did 2600M, 7.24s and 29.73s. I probably and should have done more for the distance but I was already exhausted from little sleep the two nights before (test was at 8am) and refereed too many games in the heat the two nights before.

On the 200M I felt a slight pop in my hip just before the finish. I feel so old now.
