The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

A pimp for all these companies...I need some royalties, dammit!

 

So very true or at least a sponsorship..

Thinking of trying Vitamin shoppe instead of GNC..convenience of GNC is nice though

 

Just got back from the gym. LOVE going in the mornings when I can make myself get out of bed. A little more rushed for time, but super sets help.

Leg day:
Squats 5x5, then 3 sets of singles

Superset
Leg press: 3x10
Leg extension: 3x10

Tri-set
Walking weighted lunges: 3x8 (each leg)
Hamstring curls 3x10
Calf raises: 3x15

Lunges with hamstring curls almost killed me. Shouldn't be able to walk by the end of the day.

 

I did legs today as well. First day back from vacation and first leg day in two weeks. Strength loss wasn't really noticeable, but I was tired as shit.

Kneeling Single leg Hamstring curls 15,12,10,12,15
Leg Extensions 12,10,8,10,12
Front Squats 4x10 @185
Smith Machine Calf raises 30x4
Barbell Lunges 3x8 each leg

Tomorrow is gunna suck.

 

Orange triad looks good, might try that when I need more multi's.

You have to be careful with your fruit and vegetable juices though. They may contain so many fruits and vegetables, all the sugars included, but they dont have any of the fiber to slow down the digestion of it. They give you a huge insulin spike and the body just starts storing it as fat. From what I understand it is not much different than drinking soda.

 

Oh geez, now drinking fruit juice is bad. Look at the fiber content in naked juice boosted (blue machine).

Drinking fruit juice as bad as drinking soda? Dear lord....what's this world coming to.

 

Not to mention I lost 20 lbs last year drinking a 12 oz coke everyday lol

 

What?!

 

Calories in vs calories out. You can lose weight eating bacon and pizza everyday if you're still below maintenance at the end of the day

 

I didn't say that, I said you have you be careful. Some are better than others.

There are a few factors playing into it but getting high sugar content without the fiber to slow down the digestion can cause an increase in fat storage, similar to soda. And that's all beside the fact that heat treatment of these products can destroy the micronutrient profile (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants).

 

First 5am wake up in like two weeks! Feels great but man was it hard to get out of bed haha. Took the pup for a short walk/play ball. Just got to the gym. 20 minutes incline walk on the treadmill and then some squats and deads. 45lb, 5 mile hike tonight.

 

My weight is still up from my cheating Saturday...hate that shit

 

Going to the Braves game tonight....the temptation to drink a $9 Bud Light is gonna be tough to resist.

 

Sounds easy to resist. #1: it's bud light. #2: it's $9.

 

Although, it being $9 is enough to steer me away

 

I'm not a beer snob. I usually drink whatever is put in front of me. But, if there's a choice, but light isn't going to be the one that's there. Lol

 

Dos Equis Especial

 

If I'm drinking to get drunk, it's either Bud Light, Natty Light, or Michelob Ultra for me. If I just want a beer with a meal or something, I like something a little better (Sweetwater, Sam Adams, etc.) I'm gonna try to stick with water today though. I'm also downing a shake before I go in to keep from getting a hotdog or a funnel cake lol

 

You get drunk on flavored carbonated water? Get a good beer, drink less, get more drunk.
