The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

So I think I have figured out my biggest problems guys! I eat to much and dont have much motivation in the morning to go lift! What should I do? what do yall do? how do I fix it? HELLLLPPPP!!!!!! ASAP!!!

Ty

Thank you all in advance!

 

Work out in the afternoon! lol And only eat what you need. And make sure its good! Eating a maximum of every 3 hours is great, keeps you in fat burning mode. Eat fiber, veggies, good carbs and protein. Stay away from processed food dude, its not good at all for you! Shop around the outside aisles of the store, thats where all the good shit is! Do High Intensity Interval Training when you do your cardio! And get on here to stay motivated...post pics, show your progress, we'll encourage you any way we can.

 

Haven't actually worked out in the gym for just over a year I was 165 with a 270 bench, 405 dead lift, 365 squat, and a 240 power clean.....getting a membership shortly and getting back into it!!!! Can't wait! New goal is to pack on mass.......we'll see how it goes

 

aarom1mcc has some good advice above. One thing I did to help fix that problem for myself was to slowly cut away things that were bad for me before I started working out.

First, I took away sodas and drank water... then slowly added juice to my diet instead when I wanted something other than water. Then desserts. Stopped eating those and in lieu I had a Jolly Rancher or Atomic Fire Ball.

And once a week I will reward myself with a soda or healthier dessert option (jello, a single scoop of ice cream, pudding, etc.)

Think balanced meals, eat more steamed vegtables & salad to fill you up, and eat slower.

 

nice!! that's my favorite pose as well

 

You've got a little more going on there then I do! What do you do for those rear delts?

 

i do reverse pec deck flyes, and behind the neck barbell presses (form is SUPER important for that one).

we might be around the same weight...what are you? around 150 lbs?

 

KUDOS! I couldn't have said it any better!
I am currently in the best shape of my life and I am 48. Dropped 35 lbs with P90X!


JDM your back definition is incredible

 

Thanks bud! I will start posting some progress pictures etc
and that HIIT stuff how do you do that and what is it exactly?

 

I'm 6'1", 187 lbs. Those reverse flyes you do on a machine correct? I've shy'd away from behind the neck shoulder presses because of the possibility of injury but like you said, form is important!

Thanks! Yea I know a few guys that have done the P90X and the Insanity workouts..lol they come into work all fuckin tired and sore as hell. I noticed they have a type of martial art in P90X, how does that work? Is it just punching and kicking?

You can do most anything HIIT. The program I'm on starts off with a 5 minute warm up, then you go into your intervals. Yesterday I did 12 sets of 30 seconds high intensity with a 3 second rest. I think today its 40 seconds high, 20 seconds rest. Running, rowing, bag work, jumping rope are all very good HIIT workouts.

 

Thanks buddy!

Ah, gotcha. you're taller than me. I'm 5'10" @ around 150. Yep, I do the reverse flyes on a machine. I find that i get better isolation than dumbell flyes.

 

Aaron how do you know if it is high intensity or not how do you do intervals? Damn I sound stupid, sorry !

Well since my real life friends dont seem to care about lifting and gettin in shape i will try and share my workouts here. Right now I am 5'9" and about 145. Workout for today:

Run 4 miles then right into an ab workout with 40 4-count flutter kicks, 40 crunches, 30 seconds of 6 inches, 20 oblique crunches on each side and 20 4-count mason twists.

Then get lunch and go to work

Just back from the gym. Push/Pull workout 10/20, 9/18, 8/16, 7/14, then a max set of each. Then into ammo can presses/declined situps. 20 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, max of each. Take about 10 minutes off and look at females on the treadmill and then do a short back/bi workout.

Now wait on dinner

 

Yes, yes it is . . .

 

Just started training for realz for a "murph challenge". Ever heard of it? It is pretty intense. The workout is as follows:

1. Run a mile
2. Do in no particular order:
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
3. Run another mile
4. Complete all of this in under an hour

I heard it was named after an armed service member who died in action. Apparently the dude used to do this regularly w/ a pack and combat boots... BA uh?

I did a half murph at lunch the other day and it was no joke. Got a lot of work to do if I am going to do the full thing under an hour before Easter (going to Costa Rica baby!)
