Workout & Diet

[koriwhat]

what's your workout like? exercises you do, routine, ect...?

personally i am on a do-it-as-you-like type routine atm. i workout 3 to 4 days a wk for an hr at a time. my diet consists of practically anything i can eat outside of the-very-bad fast food and sweets(though i do indulge at time). i also take a supplement shake twice a day, it says i take in 580 cal per shake.


Tues = Chest & Arms
Wed = Legs
Thu = Chest & Arms

i am slowly getting back into this whole working out thing so i am incorporating more and more exercises as i go.

my tues & thurs go bench pressing, incline bench, curls, tri-pulldowns(?), butterfly(?), both pulley fly exerise, shoulder pulldowns, shoulder pushups, dips and pull-ups.

i suck with terminology so give me time to research and get all my straight. haha.

then my wed workout goes calf pushdown, calf pushup, calf push, leg press.

i definitely need to read up terminology. hope you get the idea though.

what you need to do is focuse you work out on only one or two muscle groups every day (and work the out of them)

monday - chest
tuesday - shoulders
wednesday - back & abs
thursday - arms

use saturday for a leg workout, doing some cardio and sprints

you will see results pretty quickly if you do it right

dont eat anything and drink a load of coffee

Monday - Basketball, Ab Ripper x
Tuesday- Chest and Tricep
Wednesday - Basketball,
Thursday - Back and Bicep, Ab Ripper X
Friday - Shoulders and Legs

Also, when i do the weight lifting, i do its kind alike the way p90x does it...muscle confusion!

If you noticed too, i dont like working out two BIG muscle groups in one day.

Diet is sooo much the key it isn't funny. I used to hit the gym everyday (well still do) but I wasn't seeing the results I thought I should be seeing for a guy who was faithfully running 2 1/2 miles a day, and working pretty hard with the weights. It wasn't until I started eating right is when I started seeing the results I wanted. I actually followed the regime of Ryan Reynolds when he was super ripped for that Blade movie. Worked out pretty good. All these atkins, and shortcut gimmicks can all be averted if you just stick to a certain diet and are serious about it.

i eat anything i want.....

every other night I JOG before going to bed.... I jog about 3-6 miles sometimes...

I play basketball 3-4 times out of the week, and lift about twice a week

I dont think about food to much, I only eat with hungry

Yah lifting and cardio is perfect cuz the extra muscles cause you to lose extra calories daily.

Well you are still pretty young so you probably can eat what you want. Once you get on the wrong side of 30 like I am you have to watch it.

for my diet it's all about eating healthy food i suppose... because i am what you call too in' lean. at the moment i am just trying to bulk up so anything i can get my hands on is what i am going to eat outside of fast food and sweets. i don't do any cardio unless i go out and play bball and that is rare these days.

if you need to bulk, then definitely try the workout i suggested

muscle is built in time spent resting, not time in the gym

so work them to death, then let them have the rest of the week to replenish

have plenty of protein in your diet, especially about 15-20 minutes after you finish working out, get yourself a whey protein shake

Not to be all nerdy, but there's a really interesting time.com article from a couple months ago about diet, weight loss, and exercise. It basically said now that some long-term studies have been done, they think it's not exercise or necessarily how/what you eat, but rather simply that you lose weight and keep your weight low that is the key to health. The only long-term benefit from exercise is cardiac strength. They said in long-term studies, exercise increases appe e and calorie consumption (either as a true physiological response or a psychological response--they're not sure) and usually people will "reward" themselves for jogging or whatever by consuming far more calories than they burned off with the jog. The new thinking is you'd be better off not having the oatmeal muffin from Starbucks and just staying home knitting. Anyway, you can look it up if you want. It was a really interesting article.

Don't we have sticky for this ?????????????????????????????????????????

I pretty much eat whatever I want and never excercise. The trick is to have a really really big penis.

What was this certain diet?

Nothing that Cosmic Cowboy post in his threads. Nah but just little stuff, like no mayo for my tuna fish, cut back on all the bread. When I ate salads I used ketchup or mus instead of ranch dressing. Cut back on all the fruity high sugar drinks. Piled up on veggies when I ate chicken verses eating chips or Doritos. And it was really hard for me because I love to eat really bad. But once I started seeing the results I wanted I feel bad when I do cheat once and a while. lol It certainly takes some patience because when you are hungry the last thing you think about is a freaking salad. You want the closest food there which is usually something that isn't good if you are on a special diet.

I will check it out. Thanks Summer!

Good job !


But you don't have to cut out all breads!

I managed to lose weight while eating whole grain breads

Ketchup or mus on salads? Is it good?


It would be hard for me to cut out all the junk. I love to eat junk food.
