Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 99

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.

Lackluster workout today. Did terrible on my pullups. Only got 42 (total through all sets). That sucks. Did good on the rest of my lifts. Just wasn't feeling it today for some reason.

What do you recommend?

I'm sure you do. I'm sure it tastes good. But it's really all about the marketing. It's a brilliant name, but the end product is completely lackluster.

Just a comparison:

1 serving of Muscle Milk:
300 calories, 32g protein, 16g carbs, 12g fat (19% of the RDA)

1 serving of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey:
130 calories, 24g protein, 4g carbs, 1.5g of fat

You could double up on ON Whey and still come out ahead of Muscle Milk in protein, carb, fat and calorie content.

I think there's some instructions in the article I posted a few posts up, too.

16 egg whites?? Damn. I make an omelet out of 6 egg whites most mornings, and that seems like a lot...

3-4g, depending on size.

Do you just do egg whites? I do the whole egg. I feel like you are giving up a lot of nutrition if you throw out the yolk.

If you are at a convenience store and don't have your own to mix up, what 'gas station' brand do you recommend? I do MM because they sell it at quick trip.

I eat the whole egg as well. Just seems wasteful to do otherwise. I have 2 eggs (usually poached) pretty much every morning.

That's not a good excuse. Why can't you get home after your workout?

I travel a lot for work and its easy to grab a MM and be on my way.

230 cal, 25g protein, 9g fat 12g carb

I don't think its that bad if you don't have a powder with you.

What are you doing, working out in hotels or something?

Pure Protein.

BTW, you can buy individual powder packets of protein mixes. Just add water.
