Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 79

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.

If it's to me, do it. I just want good information, even if the price is you being an asshole.

It's okay, I love dicks.... wait... what?

Is it something I said?

NewChief · 03-09-2010, 01:14 PM

Took yesterday off. I'm chomping at the bit to get into the gym this afternoon.

Having a little tweak in my knee today from doing reverse lunges on Saturday. I'm slated to do some KB front squats today, so I might have to lay off if my knee bothers me.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-09-2010, 01:19 PM

OMG. Easily the most difficult weight lifting session of my life. It was sooooo gratifying finishing it. Jumped on the treadmill and ran a mile and a half, then spent over 15 minutes on the elliptical. Almost time to bump that badboy up to level 18. I'm able to rock out 65-70rpms pretty consistently on 15.

I feel like I'm really hitting a groove. I love every oz. of it including the pain.

Silock · 03-09-2010, 02:27 PM

Grats, man!

Silock · 03-09-2010, 02:28 PM

Just finished an hour of spin and more lifting after. ****, I'm beat as shit. Glad tomorrow is a semi-off-day.

I'm sure it's directed toward me.

Not exactly, but if I say something now, it's just going to come off wrong. And I've learned not to be untimely and controversial when I'm in a bad mood lol

SenselessChiefsFan · 03-09-2010, 06:06 PM

I am getting ready to go to the gym. Legs, lower back and abs day. I am starting to get pumped up to go. I don't know if it was being sick last week or what, but I just haven't been as geared up to go lately. Normally, I am counting down til the time I get to go. Now, I feel like, ugh....time to go to the gym. Once I get there, I do okay, but I am just not looking forward to it as much. I guess because I already look like Lou Ferrigno... so, I mean, how much bigger can I get, right?

Anyways, pretty good on the diet today. I have been under 1500 calories so far. I will just top it with my before bedtime shake. A little higher than I was aiming, but, still way under my BMR.

Wow, I've learned not to be that way when I am in a good mood. I used to do stand up and everything is a joke to me. I don't joke as much on here, because frankly a good joke is more in the delivery than anything, and it is hard to get that across on a message board.

But, I constantly get myself in trouble. I was at a dinner, and we were talking to this nice black couple. They were in their 50's and the wife was an absolute doll.... even at her age. I was flirting, and she said she was old enough to be my mother. I asked how old she was, and she told me.... I nearly fell over. I said, I hate black people..... and my wife about fainted.... I was just joking that they looked like they were in their 20's and that black people tend to age better than us white folk. Anyways, about half the party thought it was funny, and the other half was offended. Oddly, it was the African American population that thought it was funny.

If I am in a bad mood, I choose my words more carefully, and I rarely unintentionally offend people. Now, people may get offended, but at that point, I INTEND to offend them, so I am okay with it.

I ate too much at the end of last week. 3-4 days in a row. I doubt I lost much in that time although my calories didn't exceed 2000 but 1 time, and 2500 1 time. Although who knows how accurate that is? When you're eating out you can only trust that the nutrition info online is accurate, and that's not necessarily the case.

I'm sure I didn't put anything on though, today I graduated to 42 pants for the first time since I was in high school. I wear my pants low, otherwise I'd be wearing the 48's around my belly. It'd be nice to think I could just pull that off and not have to keep buying clothes, but unfortunately the length would mean high water pants all the way around.

NewChief · 03-09-2010, 08:05 PM

Worked it tonight. The squats were completely fine with the tweaked knee, though I ended up tweaking my back a little tonight. Nothing that should keep me from working out, though.

Weight is 190 steady, now. My 34" jeans (which used to be my tightfitting jeans) are feeling a little big on me, which hasn't happened since high school.

Silock · 03-10-2010, 12:50 AM

Squats = tweaked back eventually

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-10-2010, 12:55 AM

I'm thinking about adding a night time session at the gym. Maybe start mixing in some other cardio machines. I'm already doing 7 hours a week at the gym. Going at night would add another 3-4 hours. I don't really need to worry about injuries since it's just extra cardio right?
