I think my new favorite ab exercise is pike roll outs on the swiss ball. God. Damn.

My favourite ab routine is trying to get the can of beer off my abs and up to my mouth without using my hands or feet

Our yard got a bit overgrown for all the rain, so I've been doing yardwork for 2-3 hours every day this week. Lost 4kg since Monday, which is pretty cool.

Also discovered a few muscles that haven't been used in a while

I want to lift weights with Stu. We could have matching Leotards and curly mustachios while hoisting around comically large barbells with unfashionably spherical ends to them.

And yeah, fucking rain and snow this season. I'm going to have to mow this weekend, as our backyard looks like the scene of several commandos sent into the forest to track down an intergalactic alien trophy hunter.

Quite.

So yeah, running at 3500' is still hard. You mountain folk are lucky.

Started doing Xingyiquan the other week, very different from Muay Thai, lots more arm work.

Has nobody seriously posted in this thread in a goddamn year???


I recently started doing a variation of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Golden 6' routine.

I did switch the behind the neck press to a military press, and instead of chin ups (because I am a pussy) I do bent over rows (overhand). I super set most of these with ab/core work like hanging leg raises, planks, and v ups. And instead of bicep curls I do weighted walking lunges (because I don't think the squat is enough of a leg and glute workout for me - I like my legs to burn in between gym days).

So far, so good! I'm basically doing this because I needed change.

one of my sessions this year

I came on my own face in the shower this morning.

is that your Delorean ?

tbh I didn't know what delorean meant so I googled the word. are you comparing me to a car? yeah the treadmill is my comfort zone at the gym.

I actually hate the treadmill, but it's the easiest way for me to get in some good HIIT cardio. 20 minutes at the beginning of my workouts every time. Gets me nice and amped. I don't like working out if I'm not dripping sweat, no joke. It just doesn't feel like I'm working hard enough otherwise, lol.

There's a reason Claire Underwood bought Francis one



I'm four weeks into my new workout routine. Nothing different than what I've always done to get cut and in shape - HIIT lifting. Started playing basketball again for my cardio 'cause I hate running otherwise (thanks to the military). I almost died the first time I went out there in years and tried to play three consecutive full court pickup games. My lunges were in pain. Stopped drinking for the most part, too, and I've quit eating out. Drink water all day, exercise, eat somewhat healthy at home - it's not magic.

Oh, I started going to a new gym too. Boy the meathead quota sure has increased. Fuck I hate gym rats. Ugh.

******s errryday.

Ran every day for the past six days. Feels good.

I'm slow because until a few months ago I hadn't run anything more than half a mile in like ten years. Yesterday I did 3 miles at 9:00 pace and it was pretty hard. Hoping I can get it down below 8:00 pace over the next three months by knocking off 5 seconds each week or so. I have my little running app on the phone that tells me how fast I am going. Modern technology is cool.



I do a 1.8 mile circuit twice for a total of 3.6 miles. I've never been big on distance or going for a long time, so I plan on trying to do the same circuit faster rather than going for distance or duration.

haven't posted in one of the workout threads in forever lol.


recently i've been doing a lot of sprints at the local high school track. 100m. kind of fun to time yourself and try and improve and its a killer all around leg workout.

would suggest it to anybody.

I don't workout much, usually jog around the neighborhood. Lifting weights aren't my thing, but I do try to eat healthy as I can. The way the weather is changing, it's going to be a little harder to get outside.

Welcome to TA! I eagerly await your impending spam thread!

I've been back into running since January. I had to build it up very slowly at first because I'd lost all my cardio fitness and I still had problems with the knee injury that laid me off in the first place. For the last couple of months I've had no problems and really ramped up the volume. Two weeks back I ran a half marathon distance (13.1 miles, 21km) for the first time.

My overall goal is to be at a marathon distance before the end of next year, and hopefully run one at the end of 2015 or early in 2016. Then I can cross that particular life achievement off the bucketlist. I usually take a couple of months off in winter as the weather here turns to shit and it gets dark so early you become limited to running on weekends, when I'm often busy. Probably a good thing because I feel like my body needs a break. I'll just do some 10k runs once a week/fortnight to keep ticking over until January.
