Yes, the first month or two are ing excruciatingly horrible but it gets better and easier the more you do it :)
Pretty much. |
I used to play basketball in highschool and i think i could only do 20 push-ups back in the day too. I am just not strong, or ever wanted to get stroner.
Now i wanna get cut though, so i guess i need to get to work. I would try to see how many pushups i can do right now but i am drinking wine and i am kinda drunk. |

| Pullups are my only problem with this one. Definitely can't do 30 with my fatass. everything else is manageable. might implement this for my days off (right now i do monday/wednesday/friday + sunday soccer match). |

man
i used to be able to do just about all that without too much problem, now my knees kill after literally 1 minute of running
ing bull :mad:
not to mention i went to a specialist and they couldn't identify anything specifically wrong, just want me to do physical therapy to strenghten the muscles around it to make up for it. that ain't a cure, thats a ing fix :( i did exactly that years ago and when i stop the routine for a few months all the progress is gone |

no. just good genetics... bad joints though that's why i need the day off.
but i just started after gaining a load of weight over the last year basically sitting in the office and eating like . i went to an audition at the end of august and the casting director was like "yeah you need to slim down".
i was 35-45 lbs over my college weight (i played soccer throughout). I was 190ish getting out of school and was like 225-35 when i started middle of september.
my routine is pretty simple:
Monday - 30 minute run (about 3 miles). Chest/back and abs (200 various situps/crunches.
Tuesday off - light ab work (maybe 150 crunches). some shooting and dribbling for 45 minutes.
Wednesday - 30 minute run (~3 miles). Shoulders and legs + abs (200ish)
Thursday off - abs and the U-14 team I coach practices on thursdays so i do some running and drills with them. kick the ball around and scrimmage.
Friday - 30 min run. Biceps/triceps + abs.
Saturday - light jogging (a mile or so at a light pace). The team I coach has their games on saturdays so i stick around afterwards and find an open net and do some shooting.
Sunday - I play with a bunch of eastern europeans every sunday - we either have a game for our club team or have a pick up game (7on7 sometimes 9on9).
and start all over again. it'll take around 3 months to get anywhere near back in shape but if i stick it out it'll do wonders for my health and my acting career. image is everything these days.
sidenote: the 30 minute runs (or any of the running by myself) i do in the morning after i wake up. and hit up the gym for all the weights after work. abs i'll either fit in right after my run (the best time to do it - you'll burn a lot more calories with your muscles warmed up) or after the weights.
the sunday games are always in the morning too (9 am).
always do some workouts in the morning - it's a good way to get your metabolism kick-started for the rest of the day.
at work i try not to sit around as much anymore. take 15 min breaks every couple of hours and go for a walk or something. i have a good day job where people are cool with it. |

As far as I knew, representing your state and being in all sorts of high performance training squads is a junior elite level, but hey what the hell do I know  |
