The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Not sure why everyone complains about cuts. Mine is going well . Boxed wine and cheap chicken alfredo. Hit 195 today! 10 more lbs to go.

 

Damn 20 hour day yesterday (Friday) burned some good calories.
Even got a 1 mile run in and 70 minutes (600 calories according to my Fitbit) of tennis.

 

So close you shoulda gone for the 20k

 

Looks like me from a couple days ago

 

@zacharypaul89 have you went full scoop on me Hyde yet ? I just realized I have a day or two left of my ripped and have been wanting to try Hyde

 

Went out to eat last night and did pretty good. Had a couple vodka and tonics, grilled salmon, steamed broccoli, oysters Rockefeller, and a bowl of pasta....went downhill afterwards when we went to my friend's house and played Madden and drank beer (only had like 3). Gonna grill out tonight...can't decide what I wanna throw on there. Probably chicken.

lol I can gain that weight in 1 meal...newbs

gonna do it today for legs.

 

Finally took a shirtless pic today and was really able to see it.Almost everytime I look in the mirror that 410 lb guy staring back at me. But this time It was like holy shit.

 

Congrats man. Keep pushing

 

Leg day was terrible today. I'm shaking! Took a whole scoop of Mr. Hyde and thought I was gonna go into cardiac arrest halfway through my workout. I was sweating and my heart was beating so damn fast. I'm probably gonna tone it back to 1/2 or 3/4 scoop from now on...that was just a little too much.

all 4 sets of 6-15:
squats
deficit Romanian deadlifts
lying leg curls
leg extensions

superset 3 sets of 8-25:
seated calve raises
leg press calve raises

@BabyTaco, I made my shake afterwards and it is fucking awesome! It tastes like a fruit smoothie. The only downside is it's kinda thick and it's like 32 oz., so it's gonna take like 30 mins to drink.

1 cup skim milk
2 scoops banana creme ON
1 banana
2 cup spinach
1 cup blueberries
1/2 lime

 

Awesome, Ill have to try it out! My spinach went bad and I didn't feel like getting more. I have to goto the store so Ill pick up the stuff tonight.

 

I hate that about baby spinach...it gets all gooey and smelling funky after like 3-4 days. I absolutely hate wasting food, so it really pisses me off when it goes bad. Same with bananas. I get enough to last a week, but by day 7, they look like black mushy dicks.

 

Yeah, I don't eat it enough to justify getting it. If this shake works out I can probably go through a whole bag of it before it spoils though. Bread is the worst here. It will dry out super fast, or mold really fast. Can't win haha.

 

Don't know if I'm Getting old or if my legs are just exhausted, but I was walking up the steps to the house today before I even went to the gym and my quad cramped up worse than I've ever felt. After it loosened up it felt like it was just ripped in half. That Was at like 11 this am. It still hurts. Haha

 

Old man! I hate that! I get calf cramps about once every few months. I haven't had one in a while, but this week I can feel it tightening up like its going to cramp, and then it backs down. I know one of these times, it's going to not let go and it's going to be hell.

 

What is skim milk? Is that the stuff from your kitchen faucet?

 

Fat free, brah

 

I've been drinking skim for about eight years. When our daughter was born two years ago, the doctor said we had to give her whole milk. I thought I might as well just use it too instead of buying two different milks. Man, eating cereal with it after skim for so many years was like putting half and half on cereal.

 

Milk is for babies

 

Milk is for men. Thats why America is all about milk. Other countries can't stomach it.

 

Tried the shake @zacharypaul89 . Surprisingly, tastes alright! I used the original recipe you had found a few days ago.

2 cups spinach
1 cup milk
1/2 cup yogurt
1 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 cup oats
1 banana

I didn't use ice, as I don't have any, and I added oats for my tastes. I think I would add 1/2 cup of water to the next one to thin it out a bit but it pretty much tastes like a peanut butter and banana shake. I can't taste the spinach so I might make this my morning shake.
