The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I know I'm gonna delete my bagel w/ jelly I usually eat at dinner to help offset it lol. The boss made me.

 

damn it. My edit was too slow. See edited post above ^^

 

I will say, I did upper body today and I am more vascular right now than I've ever been. I still don't walk around vascular though…it's only when I'm lifting. Kinda frustrating, but at least some progress is being made. Down 15 lbs in 15 weeks, so I'm right on track though

 

You pussy!! haha jk jk

Tomorrow is my birthday and this is the cake my boss is making me

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

GAINZZZ OF FAT

 

Screw you guys. I went and got a single serving german chocolate cake.

 

lol judgement free at planet fitness? nahhh not in the ghetto ones

 

I'm sure there are tons of people that would argue that hunting is pointless and not needed, unless you compete. I'm sure I could conjure up an entire report on how it's a waste of time and money.

Most people here have hobbies that require some sort of physical activity. Body building, as much as you disprove, is actually quite healthy. Good for the heart, strengthen bones, increases endurance, makes you stronger, etc.... Some here are obviously a little more extreme with cutting cycles and macro counting, but that just shows that they take their time seriously.

Then there is crossfit. A workout that makes you better at nothing other then wearing colorful knee-high socks to the gym.

 

We moved on due to people getting upset. All good points though

 

Babytaco,

Your making assumptions on stereotyped hype and misinformation.
Speedojosh nailed it on the head. Id like to add to his argument, and this is based on personal biomedical and physiological studies.

Bodybuilders "generally" focus on hypertrophy training mixed with strength training and dedication. For an average Joe that Likes to train typically to those standards of bodybuilders it has massive advantages across the years later in life. Muscle maturity gained from years of strength and hypertrophy training pays off as long as you do basic maintaining through the years.

My knee is totally screwed from sports, had 3 surgery on it and I'm under 30. At this point, the only thing that removes my daily pain is by doing mass hypertrophy and strength training and ill be stuck doing this for the rest of my life until i have to get a full knee replacement done.My point I'm trying to make is that "bodybuilding" type training isn't bad or unhealthy but truly is multifold in what can be done with it

Now i do agree, on one point though, If your taking drugs and all sorts of supplements that have the ability to be detrimental to your health just to " look big " ill support that notion with you

 

I did make some large assumptions. That was mostly just to keep things simple. I would need to define and pull examples to convey my thoughts a bit better but in the end it looks like we agree for the most part. I didn't intend to say the training is "bad". Hell, at this point I couldn't tell you what I have argued. I am mostly fed up with the image and the BS the industry feeds.

Anyways, we have moved on. Back to cake and such.

 

Went to my parents' house and used the clubhouse machine.

Lat pulldowns..3 sets of 10, 45-55-65

Curl pulldowns..3 sets of 10, 45-55-65

Seated row..4 sets of 10, 45-55-55-65

Ab crunch..4 sets of 10, 45-55-55-65

2 more exercises I forget off my head, all in all 30-40 min.

Then came home and did my usual of 50 minutes.

Yikes am I sore..

 

done correctly, the HIIT design of crossfit isnt that bad
