Too easy. Meat of choice, veggie of choice, sauce. Yahtzee!!! Sometimes I'll throw in sweet potatoes.

I don't use mine too much though. I like cooking then eating my meal, instead of making a bunch and doing the Tupperware thing. Minus lunch, I sack lunch it.

 

Thanks, I didn't make it to the gym yesterday. So i'll be doing this today.

 

I love cooking, its always a fun challenge to make all these healthy tasting food taste like burgers and fries

 

Update: I hate you. Lol



10x6 185lbs squats
10x6 115lbs straight leg deads (probably could have gone heavier but I'm fairly new to this exercise)

100 lunges
100 body squats (tabada)

 

Awww you hate me?

How was that last 20 seconds of the Tabada?

 

My Inzer belt gets here monday, oh i can't wait.

 

Not really sure how you went at this workout. Did you just happen to get exactly 100, or did you stop at 100?

Tabata not tabada by the way. Incase other readers are interested in finding out how it's broken down.

 

Lol I don't hate you. But I WAS cursing your name.


I was dying at around the 50th tabada squat. Lol my legs haven't felt this tight in a while. I'll be putting this workout in the bank.

 

This is how its broken down:

8 sets, AMRAP 20 seconds, 10 seconds rest.

 

I was aiming for 100. And stopped at 100.

Oops sorry... Tabata*

 

You can get a timer for the TabaTa aspect of the workout.

 

Oh really? I did it wrong then.

 

That's my bad, I shoulda broke it down first for you...now you can do it right in a few days!

 

That's what I figured when I saw the 100. Also why I corrected the spelling incase others were interested.
There are free apps that have workout timers, and a few already have the tabata breakdown programed in there. I have a free one, that I can set the work time and rest time for however many rounds I'd like.

 

Whats that green drink thats supposed to help cleanse your body? I figure this would be a good place to ask as any

 

All exercise programs should include rest, tempo, load and some sort of progression scheme. Bad programs ignore acute training variables. Sticking points are often a product of poor neuromuscular efficiency rather than muscular imbalances. Train 70-80% to ↑ neural efficiency. There is still merit to training above 85% 1RM, but the primary allocation of repetitions should lie between 60-80% for powerlifting. By using perfect technique in the 60-80% range we can establish more efficient neural pathways without confronting sticking points as often. One of the best ways to gain strength is to lift as much weight as possible for 1-5 reps. Using %'s is not the only way.

 

It still kicked my ass. Until next time

 

I need some help. I haven't been to the gym since October. My body fat % went way up. I can tell. I was finishing school and looking for a job. I start Monday. Now that I will have a routine and set schedule I will be starting back at the gym. I will be going at least 4 days a week. More if possible.

I need suggestions on breakfast and lunch. I know it's been posted in here before but I don't know which page. I am thinking of eating the same breakfast and lunch for a week. Then changing it for the next week, then the next. Finally maybe the third or fourth week going back to the first weeks meals. This way I don't get sick of eating the same thing. I will pack my lunch for work.

I am 6'1 and about 186-190lbs. When I was working out I was about 200 pounds and not a whole lot of fat. I just want to stay around the same weight and lose all the fat and get my muscle back. I know I will gain some weight since the muscle is heavier.

Anyway, ideas on the meals? I am not trying to count calories, protein, carbs, ect. Just want healthy meals. For example I was thinking:

Breakfast: 2-3 hard boiled egg whites, oatmeal, protein shake, banana.

Lunch: Carrots, Apple, protein shake, tuna sandwich.

So I would eat that Monday through Friday. Then next week switch it up. The only supplements I will be using is protein and Kre-Alkalyn.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

That actually doesn't look bad! A huge huge huge tip is to eat as many veggies as you can. I have a hard time eating clean because I get so hungry but veggies will help. Also, sugar is your #1 enemy for losing fat. Stay away from as much sugar as you can. Add in cardio every day and i'd say you're set.


This is just advice though. Do whatever you feel is right.
