Time to get Fit thread

[eBay Mike]

I got to hike 11 miles of brand new trails above Shell Beach thanks to the invite of a friend on the Land Conservancy board, I don't know if that counts as cardio but it was amazing.

Soundtrack: Fear Factory, Neurotech, and Gojira.

20 minute row
Lat pulldowns sets of 8 to failure 13 sets at 225lbs.

20oz protein shake
8oz spinach
1 banana
1tbsp almond butter
1/2 gallon 1% milk
1/2 cup wheat berries
8oz spinach
1 can albacore tuna
1500 more calories to come in white meat, bean chips, and cheese

How about a full day of your diet?

I forgot what i was doing and did back and biceps today instead of deadlifts.

Pullup x 4 (added two reps to my most recent PR)
Bent row x5
Bar curl x 5
Hammer curl x5
Modified concentration curl x4 with 2x drop sets
I am using marginally longer rest periods between sets to maximize rep count with heavier weight.

I just want to see a full day of some of you guys, especially you.

I wondered why some of you log your stuff but I’m guessing it keeps you accountable. I am considering doing the same, because my motivation won’t be high forever. Right now the motivation is very healthy.

I post my nutrition because Beau posted his - its all about sharing and motivation. Its not for accountability but just to share with others what I eat and my supplements. Also its to point out to others that you need to work on your nutrition IF you want to see gains. For me, getting and staying in shape is 2/3 nutrition and 1/3 workout. I’m not a bodybuilder, I am an older gent that’s been working out since the Orbitron days when I was 13 and enjoy staying in shape.

An hour of core Yoga, free weights after, a 17 minute row and 20 minutes in the sauna. I’m jelly. Energy level was pretty damn good tonight.

 

[Cycle61]

Monday: rest day (did yoga)
Tuesday: core & strength routine, including the beloved Turkish getups
Wednesday: 1 hour hill intervals at aerobic threshold, hr was 150-180 throughout
Tonight: 1 hour easy run, did 5.5 miles at a chill pace while watching Aeronaut's on the phone.

I won our weight loss bet from August-December and the guys got me a fucking rad set of ski goggles as my prize. Stoked because I would never have bought any that nice for myself.

One year ago the doctor said either pills or exercise.

The pills all made me feel like I had the flu.

So I got a bicycle. Thought I was going to die the first time out. Now I crank it hard for an hour and a half daily. Weight dropped 9%, wind came back, depression faded, headaches ebbed, digestive processes improved and my sex life soared.

All the things motorcycling was supposed to do for me were accomplished with out the motor.

Thanks. Your diet is pretty damn solid overall. Gives me some ideas. Thanks.

Lizard, you do quite a bit of volume per workout sometimes. I’m guessing you don’t go too heavy? Either way, nice work.

I’ll post my routine soon. I think I have it dialed in for now. Upper/lower routine with 4 different workouts 2 upper and 2 lowers. 2 days on one day off.

Thanks for the compliment.

I can’t lift heavy like I did in my 20s and 30s. Aging sucks except I know how to better pleasure a woman now, hehe. But I often go heavy on delts and pecs.

My goal is stay healthy, get a little bigger and leaner, and hope I am active when I really old. Side delts are stubborn!

Yeah I usually do a lot of volume. I follow Jim Stoppani on IG. I subscribe to his web site and follow of one his many programs along with using his supps: pre, post and protein.
