The Sideshow Freaks Fitness Thread

[Bannister]

Just keep at it guys. One of the keys to working out is dedication. I seen guys who workout really hard in the gym for a few weeks and expect to see dramatic changes but when it doesn't happen right away they get frustrated and just go back to eating bad food and quit working out all together. I tell these guys all the time not to quit and just be patient because the results will happen.

Do you then challenge them to a wrestling match?

it takes months.....I've been doing 1,000+ sit ups everyday & the 6'er is just now showing up

 

[DarkArtist81]

It does take months. AND situps aren't the best way to get them. Unless you have less than 8% bodyfat. The BEST way to get abs is to overhaul the diet and burn, burn, burn.

I'm doing crunches and eating better to get abs, unfortunately the 6 pack is still buried inside a case

here's a little weight loss plan some of the boys in the meat packing district came up with.

It'll happen man... Just keep at it. And try to cut out even more bad foods if you start to plateau on your weight loss. Or up your cardio. You can do it!

And with that I shall have a beer! Why did you have to say 6 pack!?!?

Uhhhh......Bannister? What are you doing in the fitness thread?

Just a little tid bit about abs. They are no different than any other muscle and should be rested properly between workouts. Doing them everyday isn't going to benefit the cause.

 

[MaulFan]

I might be fishing here, but I was looking in the mirror tonight, and I swear, there's more definition around my lower eye lids, maybe that's just silly, but like I've always had kinda a smooth flow, where like on a lot of people you can kinda see the lower eyelid wrap under the eye in a bit of a curve, I've got that now. I enjoy the subtle things showing up more than muscles because I really have to be making progress for those things, like tendons showing in my hands finally.

Yeah, as you lose weight you will see the bones in your face a bit more. It's pretty cool as it happens, like you are seeing an entirely new you. You will also start to see the veins in your hands, arms and feet...which is neat as well. All of this lets you know that you are dropping overall body fat.

This is really awesome, I applaud everyone that is super motivated and it's only contagious amongst the rest of the freaks. Keep it up everybody!

Yeah, i actually have a semi-pointed jawline when the natural one shows. It's getting there, not yet though.

A big reward for me when this reaches a certain point will be losing weight in my hands so I can wear my class ring again. I got it my sophomore year of high school, but since sophomore year of college, it hasn't fit, but I'd still like to wear it, I just don't want to resize it because you really should resize that stuff too much, at least back and forther smaller and bigger, continually smaller is ok, and doing that would just be accepting my fatness, which I don't want to do, so when I can finally wear it again, I'll know I've really made progress, and I'll be happy to wear it.

Right now I can get it just about my knuckle closes to my hand then it gets stuck , but before I couldn't even get it that far.

As much as I do hope to have this all help with the ladies eventually, it's just a crazy journey for myself. Looking in the mirror and seeing someone I've never seen before is a strange journey, especially where I started, to quote my favoirte Pacino speech, "I don't even like the face I see in the mirror." I'd hate looking at myself, and naturally every bathroom sink on the planet has a mirror in front of it so you can't miss, but now I get excited for an excuse to look

 

[El Roranous]

Any pictures to share Maulfan, I'd like to see your progress.

 

[MaulFan]

I'll try to get some soon, my room is small and hard to get photos of myself in, at 6'4 I need the camer way back and I've got about a 4 square foot walking space in my room.

 

[Bannister]

Uhhhh......Bannister? What are you doing in the fitness thread?

Getting fit. I don't go into as much detail as most here but I am losing weight and working out just like other people in this thread. I even posted a picture of my progress a couple pages back.
