the Actual Work-Out thread

I am sure he actually believes in taking some of the supplements but most hes getting paid to endorse. I wouldn’t worry about it other than following the diet as close plus protein supp. It is more than likely better than what you’re doing now.
Look at nitroinsane.
I did keto for 14Weeks and starting getting really cut up but then I broke My hand and I haven’t been able to cut off fat as I used to due to lifestyle changes

Well it’s day 2 and I feel like shit LoL

His workouts are pretty brutal, so far I’ve only picked up the green tea extract and multivitamins, I have ephedra pills for pre-workout my buddy gave to me as an Xmas present the other day (200 count), they don’t seem to work =p

Diet so far last two days (Now I have invisalign remember, so unless im drinking something, I only remove these things 3x a day for solid food):

Morning - Cup Egg whites, Cup of Oats with WATER =(

Two shakes throughout the day, one with main lunch and one with dinner, 3 Scoops of Dymatize at 23g a piece, with 2 Cups of skim milk. (I know there’s sugar, but I went from having over 100g of sugar a day down to 20g total from the shake) I researched differences between skim and almond and found that the pros and cons from skim were much better than almond.

Lunch & Dinner (same meal) - 1.5 Cups of brocolli made in a puree, 1.5 cups brown rice (I’m all out, tomorrow switching to lentils) , each with .5 teaspoon natural butter to get fats (total of less than 15g for the day). 7 oz. plain chicken with mustard for flavor.

Still need to pick up - Sweet potatoes, wegmans was fucking out of lean steak strips the other day WTF, and Talapia, that I’ll let my mom cook cause I have never cooked fish in my life unless it was in stick form.

God I am so fucking hungry. He says he is too according to his videos so this must be normal??? I work 2nd shift its 6pm and I’m about to eat my lunch. Last night before I went to bed I had 1/16th of an ounce of a slice of prosciutto with the fat trimmed just for the sake of flavor. I think by 9 tonight I may go run and get one of the 5$ wegman’s chickens and strip it down to the meat no skin

I think since I’m only having 3 meals per day I need to increase the amount I’m eating.

i would add another small meal in if you could just to avoid feeling like shit, eventually you’ll be able to tolerate it more. the chicken is a good idea

This doesn’t directly relate to what is being talked about but feel like it didn’t deserve its own thread. The woman wants an ellipitcal. I searched craigslist and there are all sorts of different styles and price ranges. What would be a good brand to look for or any kind of info to get me started on my search for one.

what

Wait till u get triple dropsets and super sets

Well the diet sucks, I can’t look at brocolli anymore, I substitued green beans for now and fake spray butter YUM. Splenda on everything, still make my shakes with skim milk though. Chicken is pretty much the norm with pork tenderloin rather than steak. I notice my dumps look very different now, hmmmm

Basically. I cheat a lot because I can get away with it (no health problems, not overweight, and in no hurry for six pack abs) but I still say in general grains are bad, legumes hurt my stomach, and dairy makes me shit my brains out. Lots of meat, veggies, potatoes, yams, some white rice, fruit. Lots and lots of butter. I put butter and coconut oil in my coffee. Bacon and eggs every day for breakfast. Throw in a few short heavy lifting sessions a week and a run or sprint session once in a while. I haven’t felt or looked this good in 10 years.

Its the actual work out thread. Figured a question about an excercise machine wouldn’t be out of the questio. Lol

I do a decent amount of brown rice. On week 10 it’s pretty horrible. Chicken and turkey is all I eat. I have 5 meals a day.
I don’t think I have had more giant shits in my life

It’s like soft serve!

Okay, I guess I see where you’re coming from with the digestive points.
I personally love dairy, and could never give it up.
To each his own though, because that’s great it’s working for you.
I don’t actually know anyone that does it so I figured I’d ask.

Yep. “Paleo” is funny because for some reason people turn this one into a religion or insist that low carb is right for everyone. I’m not sure what’s so controversial about eating meat and veggies, butter, fruit, etc. You know, “food”?

People think nothing of mixing a scoop of a chemical powder with a glass of another animal’s breast milk, yet I’m the weird one for eating an egg yoke. :squint:

As for actual workouts, today’s deadlift day! Woot! I think I’m going to see how many sets I can get at 315. Triple plate sets are so satisfying. Follow that up with a pair of fastish supersets of other pulling stuff to get my heart cranking, then see if I can get north of 180bpm on an incumbant doing 8 sets of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off sprints. Then take tomorrow off, do some lighter mobility type general horsing around stuff on Thursday (front lever/back lever/skin the cat probably throw in some farmers walks and whatever else tickles my fancy) and then depending how my back feels Friday do some squatting. Overhead squats, maybe front squats. Probably not back squats. Once I got north of 300#'s on deadlifts and back squats doing them both in the same week has been just asking for a back injury.

At some point I should probably stop doing my own programming. Meh.

Everyone is different. Some can tolerate dairy, some can’t. Some can tolerate gluten, some can’t. Some people’s cholesterol is effected by egg yolks, some aren’t.

Try everything and see what works for you.

That sucked. I couldn’t hold on to 315 for more than 1 rep at a time. Ended up deadlifting 275x5, 275x5, 315x1, 315x1, 295x5, 295x5, 295x4.

I was pissed that my back could deadlift more than my grip could hold so I ended up doing a bunch of farmers carries right after. Along with pulldowns and incumbant bike sprints till I almost passed out. Trying not to puke now. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I agree 100% that everyone is different.
I’ve seen people make progress with approaches that have never worked for me.

As for in the gym, I’m working through a 20 rep squat program right now.
As much as it sucks, I love it.
I haven’t been this completely exhausted since I used to row.
My strength is definitely going up very quickly, and once I’m done I feel amazing.
I just have to get better at concentrating on my breathing, as the last workout landed me some excruciating exertion headaches.
Anyone else experience them?

Once in a while, usually on my way out the door my head will start to feel like it’s in a vice for a few minutes.

In the gym I don’t get them, but I’ve almost blacked out a few times after doing a few really heavy reps. I figure it’s partly from not hydrating enough the morning of my workout and partly forgetting to breathe while under load.

I don’t know if I’ve posted in this thread yet, but for the past 1.5 years or so, I’ve been doing a combination of P90X, Insanity, The Asylum, and Yoga, combined with running every now and then. I am still a pretty small guy, ~ 160 pounds, 5/11, but I have ~ 7% body fat, I can run a sub 7 minute mile pretty easily, I can do 60+ pushups without taking a break, and I can sprint a < 45 second 300m, and snap out 10+ pullups. I don’t do actual weight workouts too often, but when I do, I can bench over 200, which I would like to think is good for my body type.

So, I can say from personal experience that these programs work as a good alternative to gym-going, as long as you can motivate yourself to actually do it.

Try using an over/under grip, if you’re not already.

If you’re doing a lot of grip work you will want to do regular forearm massage. Bunched up forearms, biceps and triceps are a big cause of elbow tendonitis. Here’s an example:
