Just do what you can at the gym and get out, as long as you are doing something and eating correctly you will get progress Bam.

I have been doing that...I haven't seen progress for 2 weeks

 

[The ill Jedi]

I am so sore today. I moved up to three miles walking/jogging yesterday and still did my sprints for the ball after and I'm paying for it today. The thing I love is that when I get home and I am resting, I can still feel my heart pounding away 'cause the blood is still pumping! I had taken the weekend off, but I was watching what I was eating, even split a meal at Pitu's party. I'm gonna be back at it this week and aim to stay consistent.

and I think you know the answer to that one, it's either a critique of the diet or the work is not hard enough in the short period that you've been there. Remember initial water weight is the first drop and then from there on it's actual fat deposits. It only gets harder to taper further but you will also get in better condition by trying and doing so. Of course still remain consistent because the next week could be a drop.

Today I am going to do some light drills for my foot. Taking some time off from the gym and going to do more of an outdoor workout.

Time to change things up again. Then I will jump back in the gym again in a few weeks.

Outdoor exercises will consist of using my body weight for everything. Plan on doing climbing, crawling, bodybuilders, etc...

And as always maintain a healthy diet of lean proteins, fruit, veggies and complex carbs.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Staying fit is not a diet but a lifestyle...

 

[MaulFan]

Like for example....yesterday I went to the gym and i wasn't feeling it I was pre-occupied on how I have to get home to finish some stuff before my move on Saturday. So I was only able to work out for like 30 mins:/

I guess this is when life gets in the way.

A clear and focused mind is key. Stress can really hinder how your body processes things and of course, can lead to a pre-occupied mind which hurts your focus and efforts when you do work out. I've been there, I'll start my jog and my mind will be everywhere but the run and i find I just don't have the energy or motivation to go on. I find all I can do is be content with whatever excercise I did accomplish and come back to it the next time, can't feel like you failed or anything or it'll just make things worse.

That's why I like to just be left alone working out, distraction really ____s me up, I just want to put on my headphones, get lost in the music and the work and get through it.

Yuo need to keep it up... The carbs in the Subway aren't good if you are eating them after your workout.

Remember .. no late night eating... small snack to lkick the metabolism is all. Keep it up !

Staying fit is not a diet but a lifestyle...

And not an easy one... don;t be fooled. Those that we admire work hard to keep it.

WOW ! OUCH !

 

[Bamboota]

MF....u always know how to cheer me up.


U know....i think that might be effecting me too....

i haven't got anything to snack anymore....not to mention..that money is kinda tight cuz of the moving expenses...so i haven't really gone out to buy me a pack of almonds and what not.

I usually eat Subway for lunch and a salad for dinner. But I see you point. :/

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

no worries bam you can do it !

 

[Skiman]

Jimmmybones is right about tapering the carbs as the day progresses...

Keep moving Bam!

For those of you who are tired of grilled chicken breasts I recommend trying bison meat. Lots of athletes and bodybuilders at the gym have this. It has a real good flavor and is extremely lean and healthy. Since I'm busy bouncing from work to the gym Mon - Fri I usually do all my grilling on Sundays whether its bison steaks, bison burgers, chicken breasts or sometimes fish and have that for the rest of the week. It helps to rotate so you don't get burned out eating the same meals because once boredom sets in then your willpower weakens and then it's off to Taco Bell.

So have any of you guys tried or done Scooby's backpack and roller pushups?

I love doing these alternate exercises along with my usual barbell and dumbbell weight training

I've been there, I'll start my jog and my mind will be everywhere but the run

That's the best. You'll do some amazing thinking on the run, one of the most under appreciated aspects of it. I find I'll step out the house with all these things floating around in my head, and while running, I'm able to be at peace, and sort out issues that would have taken days sitting on my ass. Running is cut and dry, and helps make gray area decisions either black or white. You'll just know.

[hairlesswookiee]

I started doing my pushup program on Mondays and Thursdays, but I also added doing a couple sets of diamond pushups to the program I posted earlier.

Clap push ups...?

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Wish I could, but last time I tried I almost took a dirt nap.

 

[The Ringer]

UPS just dropped off some superpump 250.

Can't wait to give it a test drive tonight!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

^^^Cool!! I'm sticking with Ja3ced. I tried the Black Powder last week an didn't notice anything other than the bad aftertaste I kept getting. I ordered one of those 5 pack samples for $5 so not a total loss, but I'll just keep on with what I got.
