I don't know about jacked, but I'm going to put in a respectable half marathon time is all I know.

Jesus fucking christ, totally forgot about the holiday today, lol. Gym's not open. :/

LOL!

It if wasn't for "missing the bus" and having to run to get the next one a street over, I probably would have got all the way to the school before I realized it too. Cause as I was running I thought "Why am I running? Buses aren't running today, it's a holi--oh shit :/."

And yeah I was only halfway up my street, phew!

i punched and kicked the shit out of things in boxing class today. pain is awesome. pretty soon, i'll be posting pics of my guns.

Omg I hate the cook at work. She's always making tasty pastries and shit...I've been bad with my eating the past couple weeks and have put on a couple pounds. And that's not even what bothers me...it's breaking my discipline. SHIT.

Finally getting back to working out after a while slacking off. Feels excellent.

sculpting + psycho cardio classes + 60 min pilates

I hope I get to work out my cock tonight...

Yesterday did squats, leg extension, deadlift, leg curl, standing calf raises, v-ups, side crunches, and ran about 4 miles.

I just weighed myself and I've only lost maybe 5 pounds since I started lifting, but I have lost 3 inches off the waist.

Today I think I'll do speedwork. Probably intervals, but maybe a 5K for time.

LOL I think I need to come to this thread more often. Haven't been here for about a month and haven't worked out in about the same amount of time (was nursing a minor injury though).

Today or tomorrow I'm starting a brand new routine. I'm getting one of those 12-in-1 pull up bars today for like 40 bucks. I desperately need to work on my lats. It's gonna be a mix of the P90X routine with some of my own little twists.

Should be interesting. How are you fat ******s doing?

Fat. I need to stop drinking so much beer. :/

Something in my left knee is fucked up badly! Upper body for me only right now.

One of my girlfriends read in a magazine, that ancient Greek woman took 1 tablespoon on a empty stomach & 1 tablespoon before bedtime. Through time this contributed to healthy looking skin, hair and proper functionality of the large intenstine. They say that all Greek woman use this method till this day.
You can't just drink olive oil alone and think it will do wonders. She did have a healthy lifestyle but noticeable changes were witnessed after a while.

today: 30 min biking + 45 min pilates + 60 min psycho cardio class

it's GO time.

Feels great afterward doesn't it?

i kicked my own ass yesterday and again today. i win.

so what's everyone up to? haven't done upper body in about two weeks hurt my shoulder and gonna take this week off again.

anyway so at the gym today and not sure why this bothered me because it didn't really affect me but some young dude is pretty much on the perimeter of my space bubble while i'm doing my lunge-deadlift-calf raises circuit. he clearly could go to another bench 4ft way but decides to sit right next to me and didn't even move the bench an inch. anyway some little dude comes to that bench between the young guys's set and the young guy straight up let the other guy take his bench then ran away to the bench without saying a single word. not gonna lie, the first thing i thought was "pussy" then i was like hey he let this little dude steal his bench yet he had no qualms about impeding in my area and forcing me to miss out on prime mirror space. anyway at the gym if you are using something you are using it, there is no running away. i liked the little guy better though because he clearly noticed he would crowd me and moved the bench, no fuckin way i'd move since i got there first.

Been visiting my parents and I really like using the exercise bike at their house.

I'm still doing pretty much the same routine @ increased weight. I switch up between the same handful of exercises for each body group though. I keep forgetting to ask my bf to show me the proper technique for deadlifts...I mean I guess I could Youtube it, but meh.

Oh, I also changed the positioning of the back pad on the leg press so it works my hips more...and I've totally noticed a change in my body shape. So weird. Good, but weird.

I'm doing free weights at home and I'm making good strength gains. In fact, I'm deliberately holding back from switching up some weights simply because I'm too lazy to have to completely reload the dumbells/barbell. That's the one disadvantage of free weights - you can waste a lot of time mid-routine switching your weights.

it's been a month since anyone has posted here? put down the Doritos, get off the f**kin couch and go beat the crap out of yourselves somewhere


alright, whatever. Ive been doing a new workout for the last 30 days. it's super simple. reasonably quik (about 1 hr - 1 1/2 hr) and just incorporates old school, large muscle group free-weight exercises in a push/pull daily routine. IOW i push free-weights out one day to stress the front upper-body and the following day i pull weight to balance my back with the front. in between these upper body sets i work in my legs i.e. leg press, leg extentions, leg curls, calf exercises ect..

like said, none of this is new or complicated. what i like about this routine is that it quick and because i get bored easily doing the same exercises day after day i can substitute many different exercises/machines that work the same general muscle group. IOW if one day i don't want to do a bench presses with a straight-bar i'll do dumbells or Hammer-Strength, anything really that works out chest laterally. same thing with incline bench, military press, curls, rows, legs and it's good to confuse the muscles every so often and make them work in ways they're not used to. you'll notice too it's just repeating the same routines every other day with one day of rest at the end of the week so yeah, im gonna get bored iwth this as well eventually.

the focus here is upper body but you can't ignore the legs so i make sure i incorporate a leg exercise btween upper body sets everyday since i hated going to the gym just to do legs. also consolidating upper and lower body in one day gets me out of the gym faster htroughout the week it seems like.

granted, in order to have all these execises to switch up whenever you want requires a decent size gym but i'm far from rich.

day 1 :

1 1/2 mile warm-up treadmill.
leg press - 4 sets, 8-12 reps.
bench press - ***
sitting calf raises - ***
incline bench press - ***
curls - ***
military press - ***

day 2 :

1 1/2 mile warm-up treadmill
Leg extensions - 4 sets, 8-12 reps
overhead cable pull-downs - ***
leg curls - ***
lateral rows - ***
standing calf raises - ***
shoulder shrugs - ***

-take about 90 sec between sets and no longer than 3 minutes between exercises.

-fail on the 7-8th rep on the last set

-stack or not stack weight between sets (personal preference)

-if youre pressed for time that day but still want to hit it do a three set workout - maybe even up the weight with slightly lower reps.

-form is everything.

again, all of these exercises have multiple ways to hit their targets given the right equipment available. switching up different equipment is key not only keep interested but also keeping the muscles on their toes.
