nothing revolutionary and new for 2009, thinking of maybe skating some (rollerblading or ice skating) and possibly make use of my tennis racket by taking lessons. still plan on being in the gym 4 or 5 days a week.

got a lotta workout equipment for home for xmas presents this year. HOPEFULLY switching things up with the new stuff will accelerate my weight loss and fitness levels! <3 cant wait to give it a go!

went back to the gym today:

ran 1 mile
3 sets of 5 pullups
1 set of 20 leg lifts in cap't chair
held 10 lb weight above head for 2 mins
held 25 lb weight above head for 2 mins
held 10 lb weight above head for 2 mins
1 set of 20 leg lifts in cap't chair
1 set of 5 pullups.

not really a lot - but more of focusing on the shoulders, i suppose. just did the leg stuff for randomness, i s'pose. but it all felt good.

Held weight above your head? Not sure that I have seen that one before, but I guess if your going for a burn it probably works. The only way to gain muscle is to stress muscle fibers and the only way to do that is through stretching them with weight (which for shoulders is at the bottom of the lift) so holding weights above your head seems to be a waste of time. You would be much better off doing shoulder presses while pausing at the bottom of the lift...just a suggestion.

thanks for the tip. although not really looking for building so much as just endurance/tone.

plus i just like to feel the burn sometimes. lol

Fixed!

Just returned from a 19,1 km (just under 12 miles) run, nicely paced at 11 kmh. Chose a nice route through the countryside, resulted in some nice views with the temperatures just below freezing point.

Form is returning, might do a half marathon or two in the coming month or two.

i hate running when its cold outside. i know a lot of people prefer it; but fuck that - i want it 75F outside when i run.

i'd rather sweat a lot; than have cold air rushing into my lungs. lol

going back again this afternoon before i donate some blood. gonna be a pushup/situp day

ran 1 mile

30 situps to the front
30 situps to the right
30 situps to the left
10 leg lifts in cap't chair (center)
10 leg lifts to the right
10 to the left
20 pushups
~20 situps
1/4 mile run
more leg lifts in cap't chair (center/left/right)...basically did them until i couldn't even lift my legs anymore. lol

woot!

I must say it didn't feel as cold as it actually was, and besides that, usually only the first 5-10 minutes are cold, after that you're warmed up enough not to feel the cold anymore.

you can still feel the cold air enter your lungs and suck the life out of you

I always prefered the cold, it forced me to keep a good pace to get back to the house quicker, although the cold has been proven to negatively affect results due to the opposing contraction force it has on muscles which are trying to expand during exercize.

Originally posted by zag2me Trying some new supplements this month while I'm on an alcohol break I took the progain extreme during December and put on about 3kg of weight which was good, unfortunately I've been on a drink and drug binge this holiday and lost it all again, oops. Anyone know if its better to combine the 2 products or just stick to 1 of them? I'm also looking for some cheaper products as these cost nearly 40 quid each! Quite a lot for a 1 month supply Oh well time to start again

Don't waste money on shit supplements other than whey protein. Casein is borderline wasteful, but depends on how/what u eat. Get some whey, and a multivitamin...this is all u need. Eat lots of protein, healthy fats like whole eggs, olive oil, coconut oils, and limit carbs. Stick to Low GI carb sources.

Don't forget flax!

Originally posted by XaNaX i tend to agree for what you would spend on supplements that don't really do anything in a years time you could probably do a couple steroid cycles and see some real gains so unless you want to juice you may as well just save your money

I don't want to destroy my liver, shrink my nuts, and get gyno (man titties) Only way I would juice it up is through my doctor to make sure I wouldn't ruin my body for the rest of my life just to look good for a few years...if that.

that's an interesting comment as I have been taking whey protein for a couple of years with no obvious weight gain at all. I've been taking the cyclone for a month now and have put on a couple of of kilos already, it really seems to have worked for me but I'd be the first to admit my diet is not the best.

you should think about your diet first. skipping that step and going directly to supplements and other stuff doesn't make sense.

Originally posted by XaNaX i wasn't suggesting you juice, what I was saying is if you are going to spend that kind of money on supplements it might as well be on steroids or hgh which will actually result in gains vs. wondersupplement X which wont. either that or just save your money

True that. HGH I don't know too much about. What side affects are associated with it? I know a lot of BB's and Sly Stallone used it to get in shape for Rambo.

I did a little reading on it...looks like they sell it in different forms like powders, pills and such, but the most effective way is local injection, as it breaks down through the digestive system. It's yet another waste of money on anything other than injections, and u don't get big with it, but just a slight enhancement. The medical claim is 8.8% added muscle mass. Dunno how true that is.

I changed my diet this week and already lost 5 pounds without going to the gym. Fuck you, fat!

Yeahhh, fuck you too.

What did you change about your diet? Perhaps I can get some tips off the master.

Eating mostly protein + good fats, lots of green leafy veggies, and cutting out most carbs. Not even eating fruit atm. Slowly gonna reintroduce carbs back into my diet and be more disciplined with when and how much I ingest. Also better portion control and eating small meals on a regular schedule.

I can do the majority of that, but I have a second part-time job during the evening where we are given 5 minute breaks once an hour. I guess I could eat a small prepared meal in that time if i tried. Eating quickly isn't one of my forte's though.

We'll see how that goes.

In other news, now that the winter season has well and truly kicked in here, I'm back to the gym instead of running outdoors 5-6 miles a days.
