The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

It was several months back. I don't even remember what all it was

 

Gave this workout a try today. Gotta say i loved it. I normally have a hard time really hitting my triceps. This definitely works.

 

This is stupid...

thats basically paleo

 

I would pass out and atrophy like crazy if I didn't eat a real meal until evening.

 

Not to mention they dont eat whole grains...

 

Anyone ever follow the rippetoe workout? Any thoughts on it?

 

Crossfit promotes the paleo diet. And no they don't eat whole grains, they eat lots of nuts. If you think about it, its fresh meat, nuts and fresh fruit and greens.

Quite a good diet in my opinion.

 

Hey Sean, Do you have a good ab routine to throw in on cardio days.

 

For anyone who may be interested I have recently been trying the shortcut to size program from bodybuilding.com and must say I has been very helpful for breaking through a stale workout regime. This is a great plan for someone who is in the intermediate level looking to take the next step. Its probably a little much for a beginner. I have just finished month 1 of 3, and already notice moderate strength gains. I have not done a true one rep max in over a year but my 3rep max as of 6 weeks ago was 255 bench 405 dead lift and 345 squat (not sure how accurate the last two are because I do both on the same day), and as of last week after a month of the program my 3 rep max has increased to 265, 425, and 365 respectively. My diet and supplementation has not changed. Heres the link if interested http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html

Weighted crunches are just a plate on your chest while you crunch?

Started Ready, Set, Grow workout. Just needed a switch-up from the day to day grind. Felt good.

Week 2 of my workout..



Week 23..



Not nearly as much of a difference than it should be

I just can't eat enough calories in good foods. Too busy working 10 hours a day...

 

good work!

 

I eat mostly all that everyday. I'm a wind turbine tech and if I eat too much throughout the time I'm at work I have to shit... no toilets up tower lol.. I've been eating more now that its colder and I'm not sweating 15 hours a day! I should see better progress in the winter

 

Well, I got my MRI results a couple weeks ago, I just haven't gotten online in a little bit. They are saying arthritis in my AC joint. What a buzzkill! Now I'm trying to figure out how to work around it but still make progress.

Most of the pain/issues come when pressing. Whether it's overhead, or bench, or incline. Even pushups cause a little bit of discomfort.
