Dammit!!!
LoL

Wait until you run out of calories and you haven't even had dinner yet. I am Sparky223 on MyFitnessPal website if anybody wants to friend me.Quote:

almost forgot I have been taking some post workout called afterglow- great stuff and has a lot of BCAA.
Same here, seriously overhauling my diet tho. Wife working late has us eating dinner around 7 or 8, and it's usually rather high in carbs. So no more carbs after 6.
With that said, I have been getting stronger, that's a plus. Just ditch the late carbs and increase the cardio and my results should improve.
No tips on the arm workouts, I just now started focusing on bi's/tri's, doing them on leg day.
Look up Jim Stopani. His workouts and nutrition are legit. I use a lot of his programs.Quote:

His "shortcut to shred" program is a killer.Quote:

What gym are you going to? If you workout at 24 fitness on Arapahoe and Parker let me know. Been going at 530 in the morning and it's nice on there at that time.Quote:

You can't keep up with me Ducky =) Ha, JK.
The CFO decided to get a membership so it looks like I'll be starting Starting Strength. Hard to beat $15 a month for both of to go to the gym with 24 hour access, 3 days a week. That's all I need for the program I'm starting.
I started my program on Wednesday of last week. Jacked up squat form and being sedentary for a year resulted in the worst DOMS I've ever had. It finally relented yesterday but I was crawling up and down the stairs for a week. God forbid I had to sit on a toilet.
Ran for the first time in 6 months last night. Back to the ole hobbling around like an old man with super sore calves.
Question is did you buy yourself some good shoes and keep an easy pace? Otherwise you will be a hurting unit and then some. Getting good shoes and easing into it are key.
Started up myself again last month and learned from my mistakes...
I'm always sore after running in my barefoot shoes. Even after the 70 miles I've put onto them.
I'm a lazy runner so I tend to only use my calves unless I'm sprinting. I need to work more sprinting into my runs.
Same here except its only been about 4 months for me (been lifting still). My calves are fine, but I'll be damned if my foot isn't killing me. I think I need to have it looked at.Quote:

Have one cheat day on the weekends, the hardest part has been giving up my morning Dr. Pepper. Oh man I love me some DP in the mornings.
I decided at the beginning of January that I was going to take my excersising and lifting to the next level. It wasn't my New Years resolution even though it was close to the same date. I have always excersised on a pretty regular basis but I was just maintaining the same body I had been since high school. After a lot of researching and talking to some of my friends, I realized I needed to change the way I eat. I needed to treat my food intake like fuel for my body. I never actually ate "bad" but not good either. I had this mentality that I could eat what ever I wanted as long as I worked out. Although that is some what true, I was looking for something more specific.
I decided on the Ketogenic diet. It is deigned to use fat for its primary source of energy rather than carbs. Basically, 0 carbs during the week and protein and fats only. Friday at 4:00pm till Saturday at 12:00am I can have carbs with little fat mixed in. I bought some supplements from bodybuilding.com and I have never been closer to reaching my goals since.
I started out at 192lbs (I'm 5'10"). I dropped to about 170 and then started gaining weight back without increasing in waiste size. My shirts are getting tighter in my chest and arms. I am now at 178lbs. I workout five times and week and take weekends off. I eat five times a day following this plan:
6oz of meat
1.5 oz of leafy veggies
40 grams of peanuts or almonds.
I sometimes replace a meal with eggs or protein shakes making sure I am getting the proper protein and fat ratio. I take amino acids while working out followed by whey protein immediately after working out. Sams club has become my new favorite store since my grocery list contains the same thing, I can buy in bulk and save money. I also enjoy cooking so it's fun trying new keto recipes and cooking meals for the whole day. I wanted to share what I am doing to reach my goals. I truly enjoy seeing other getting fit and excersising.
I just want to loose 10-15 lbs. I'd like to be able to mow the lawn with my shirt off and only have people be grossed out by my pale skin, hairy back, moles, and no muscle mass. Having extra fat is just too much.
They've changed the programming at my box. It's now brutal but I love it.

Try a keto diet. I am willing to bet you will loose the weight you want in a month if you stick to it.Quote:

Try using this. You will need to know your body far perecentage.Quote:

After awhile you figure out foods that you can and cannot eat while you are in ketosis. There are many "hidden" foods you can eat but everyone's body reacts different to this diet. I have found many keto friendly restaraunts. You just have to be creative and read a lot of labels.
Thanks. I've read about Keto before. I need to read more recipes to commit I think. I don't even want to know my body fat percentage...
Can anyone here perform a muscle up?
Is that the awkward pull motion when I try to muscle up off of the toilet?Quote:

It's like a pull up but you actually pull all the way up and do a "tricep dip".

About 2 years ago they were a regular part of my routine, but that's also when I was doing weighted pull ups and dips.Quote:

I looked it up. I think I'll always weigh too much to do that. I'd have to drop 50 lbs.

Nope not even gonna try that one, I would face plant and break myself.
Yeah I'm 210-215 now without being a body builder. I might have to go down to 150, then put all that weight back on in arm, chest, and back muscles. Then I could do it.
Before I broke myself I could get a muscle up and I was at 202.. but there wasn't nearly any squish like there is now. Working on it though.
