So fightbeat, how's your training going?

[Buddy Rydell]

Myself, I'm not able to run as much as I'd like due to my knee injury, but I still jog, walk, and hit the weights and other cardio machines. How about an update from those of you still exercising?

[LOK]

going Great Buddy..

I can honestly say I'm in better shape than I've been in at least 5-6 years

been running daily, doing my chins and pushups and situps and supplementing with once-twice a week at the gym with weights..

[Hut*Hut]

been on holiday in London this week and it turned into a prodigious piss up, so off the wagon a bit. But overall things are progressing decently - My modest goal of a 350 dead by the end of summer is pretty much in the bag, so I'll probably try for 400 by the end of the year.:crafty: Just maintaining weight at about 175 and looking to get strong and wirey as a motherfucker. Long term goals (year long goals)- 180 milt press, 450 dead, 60 chin ups.

60 consecutive chinups in one set with no rest? That would be impressive indeed.

Myself, I'm shooting steady at the ropeclimbing. I still do 50 hspu every two days along with 50 chins every two days. Jogging on a daily basis, walking, and doing windsprints.

I've changed my weight-training drastically though. I've started doing supersets for everything, and I'm seeing really good results. I'll post my weights and sets when I have time, which will likely be tonight after work.

Way to go, Lok and Hutster!

What happened, Tyler?

Myself, slow and steady goes the course because it's getting increasingly challenging to find time at home to get enough sleep and/or training time.

I found a good training partner who pushes me...I feel and look great as usual.

My shoulder was hurt as you know, taking it easy during that time ended up making me slack. Got back in the groove, hurt my back.....slacked again. Injuries fine now but was sick for the last month, back at it again now. A couple years ago when I was at peak form, got really sick and have been battling the same motivation I had ever since, once you go down that road of very hard work.....knowing what it took to get there can be a daunting task. Seems like every time I start to get going, something happens :dunno: If I was to be optimistic, at least I am not starting from the very scratch like I was in January after over a year layoff, I have been exercising here and there since January....just have not made any significant gains :crying: I really can't believe it is June already :old:

[Buddy Rydell]

Well, today I hopped on the ol' treadmill and did three sub-10 min miles. I'm gonna get up to doing that for 60 minutes and then start increasing the speed.

Just for a little eyeopener, the 10km (6 miles) was run in just over 27 minutes at the Olympics. :lol:

[LOK]

I have really incorportated sprinting in my training..

in HS I had a 11sec 100m two days ago it was like 13sec..

I think I'll be able to tie if not beat my HS times in all runs.. and I'm 50-60lbs heavier now:lol:

Well, the advantage now is that you have all the experience and knowledge to know what to do and what NOT to do. I'm gonna try to break all my high school bests in different events. If I can manage that, I'll be golden! :bears:

I'll say the sprinting workouts are awesome.. they work you.. I was suprisinly sore!

[Buddy Rydell]

Yeah, sprinting definitely does it to you.

On a different not, Tyler, how's the shoulder doing?

[slystaff]

I'm in good shape. Do my daily push ups and situps...hit teh weights three times a week and do skipping in between.

I can't run though because of bad knees and so tennis and sex are my cardio....

It only lasted about a month or so, back to 99% ....no need for surgery :mj:

Wicked. It's no fun having an injury. Trust me, I know. Hopefully it's back to 100% soon. I just have to keep increasing my windsprints. The bodyfat has largely come off, but I'm just not losing weight. It's being replaced by muscle. Not much I can do about it, but the idea is just to stay healthy regardless. I got my heart checked and it's a-ok.:bears:

Checking your weight can be overrated when you are training, I had a sticking point too back when I was real serious about it, eventually it started moving again.

Put up the 580 on the bench and deadlifted 520. F*ck cardio! It's all about the bench. I bench and deadlift 7 days a week. DeadLift I do 3 times a week, Bench I do 6 times a week. Everything is good. Also have my supply of steroids to help me. I got a wicked steroid deal on this from some under the table place where my buddy Manvinder hooked me up. I got 12 months supply of steroids.

Well I don't enjoy it. How am I going to enjoy something when 60% of my life revolves around working in an office? Maybe if I was a football player or a rugby player and I had to maintain a strong physical build then it would make sense. Because power training and cardio go hand in hand with professional athletics. So training would be my life and it would be motivation in itself.
How am I gonna push myself to improve when I know that as soon as I'm done, I gotta spend 8 f*ckin' hours in some piece of sh*t cubicle with a computer and some f*cktards coming to me every minute with a new project or something?
How does training and the office life even begin to correlate????
Ok, I'm gonna go run 3 miles and then do a heavy training session in the gym. After that, I go shower, head to my car and drive for an hour to my work where I will sit down for 8 hours to work on a f*cking computer.

see Hanzy.. you act as if when some of us train.. it takes over our life.. that is not true at all for me anyway. .

look... at night watching TV, doing pushups during comercials..

or an easy 10 sets during the day while at work..

it is actually pretty easy to get it done and it does not have to rule out other things..

really weather I trained or not doesn't change much at all..

I like to wake up early so there is plenty of time.. during the day in my office, after work.. whenever..

Jealousy is an ugly thing, Hanzy. Some people train, and others sit around and lie about it all day like you claiming to bench 600. :dunno:

I like training, so I do it. I work out and I feel healthier than I've felt in a long long time. Maybe it hasn't occurred to you that we simply enjoy training, Hanzy. Once you get used to it, it's a piece of cake to do it everyday and still have energy to do other stuff. I'm not going to be out of shape when my kids want to play sports. :partie:

Well, like you said, unless a person wants to become a hobo, they have to walk.

The point that LOK appears to be trying to get across is that if you want to be in really good shape, you have to introduce the exercise discipline to your everyday life and make it an ordinary thing like cleaning up around the house, getting your work done at your job, and any other thing you do regularly that benefits you. LOK makes it a part of his everyday life so that he doesn't get tired of it.

Would it get dull to do as much as he's talking about? Probably for me it would, but I do get 5km a day done MINIMUM as well as daily chins, HSPU, and knee kicks. Those are daily things for me that might be quite boring for someone else.

Boredom isn't an excuse though. Listening to music or jogging on a treadmill at the gym while watching tv makes it less boring, and I'm down 20lbs from Christmas. I'm in the process of dropping through the 200 mark (I'm 201.2 according to my scale), and I'm doing what I need to do to accomplish my goals.

For instance, stricter diet. I'm eating tuna, eggs, and other healthy foods as well as having one cheat meal per week (Saturdays). I had pizza last night and still weighed 201 today, so my regimented daily routine, though occasionally dull, is getting me where I want to go. :bears:

[Buddy Rydell]

You don't need to train 1/10 as hard as you're doing just to play sports with some kids Buddy. LOL!

I'm not talking about when they are 4, Hanzy. I'm talking about when they are in their teens and want to play a little football with the old man. :partie:

Plus, more and more research is showing that if you train as you grow older, there isn't as much of a decline in physical ability as there would be if you didn't train at all. I'm gonna make sure I don't break down. I'm staying healthy as long as I can, which is a lot longer than most men in my family who quit training around age 30 and then decline rather precipitously.

Trust me, I am into excercise as much as I can, but setting aside time to do it and taking up your day all through out it.....you are setting yourself up to failure and I don't believe it is beneficial except on the short term. I don't think anything is healthy when it becomes an obsession (every two hours of your waking life, example). Surely you know what I am trying to say here.....

[Tyler Durden]

You might want to think about this too....before I had to stop training, I had the same mindset, "how could I ever give this up when I feel better than I ever have?" It wasn't a chore and I liked it, almost looked forward to the next day. I trained VERY hard and made quite a progress in the months I went through without stopping, my diet and cardio/weights would be foreign and boring to someone else who doesn't do it....but when you HAVE to get out of that groove for illness, you would be amazed how daunting of a task it is when you realize how much hard work you did and have to do it all over again. It can be done, but that is what I am fighting along with some crap with my lungs that isn't helping, but goes to show you the mindset you guys have right now, can change and make you humble :old:

I get what you're saying, Tyler. I really do. However, I've been doing mainly bodyweight exercises and light weights along with the cardio. I know there'll come a point where the law of diminishing returns comes into effect and I'm not getting the results I want for the effort I'm putting out, but that time isn't yet here.

I go to the gym for an hour in the morning, and I go for an hour at lunch. It really helps with my stress level because many of the documents I work on are time-sensitive. They have to be done quick and that can get on your nerves. Training actually gives me a break, and it has really helped my stress level while getting used to waking up 3-4 times a night because the baby is crying.

It helps me mentally as well as physically. Case in point: I just got back from my 6k jog, and I peeled off my stuff and weighed myself: 197.6. I know a few pounds of that is water loss, but it also builds my confidence because I'm achieving the goals I'm setting.

If I were training for superheavy weights like I was before, I'd be setting myself up for injury. Right now though, I jog on grass or a treadmill, eat sensibly, and do light weights and bodyweight exercises. I know not to try and lift heavy when I'm losing weight, so my goals are realistic.:bears:

Hanzy, Bowe was known among his peers for being fat and lazy. He would go into training camp at close to 300lbs, and he lost 60-70lbs to fight Golota in the rematch. I don't know about his training being harder than anyone here can COMPREHEND.

At the same time, he was a great boxer. He likely burned out from all the head trauma. He took WAY too many headshots, and that isn't a way to have a long career. He was a gifted heavyweight boxer, but not a great example of work ethic in training camp. He had a lot of gifts to compensate for that laziness, but it also allowed lesser-gifted athletes like Holyfield and Bowe to get wins over him.

Heck, his balance was way greater than Lennox's, but Lennox was known for having a very regimented training camp.

[Roll With The Punches]

i've just been doing some stuff at home 2-3 nights a week...basically alternating between push-ups and chin-ups every 30min

and once a week i usually go indoor rock climbing and do some dips and chins when i'm finished there

also at work i've started to run up 5 stories of stairs everytime i go to the bathroom, which is located near the stairs



pretty good, except my weekends are usually pretty out of control with binge eating and drinking :doh:

I go to the gym for an hour in the morning, and I go for an hour at lunch. It really helps with my stress level because many of the documents I work on are time-sensitive. They have to be done quick and that can get on your nerves. Training actually gives me a break, and it has really helped my stress level while getting used to waking up 3-4 times a night because the baby is crying.

It helps me mentally as well as physically. Case in point: I just got back from my 6k jog, and I peeled off my stuff and weighed myself: 197.6. I know a few pounds of that is water loss, but it also builds my confidence because I'm achieving the goals I'm setting.

If I were training for superheavy weights like I was before, I'd be setting myself up for injury. Right now though, I jog on grass or a treadmill, eat sensibly, and do light weights and bodyweight exercises. I know not to try and lift heavy when I'm losing weight, so my goals are realistic.:bears:

1 or two hours a day is reasonable.....I protest to LOK's obsessive training that involves most of his day (here's a free moment, let me get my pushups in) :doh: Having a designated time for it is good, involving your free time all day long can't be good emotionally, IMO.

For LOK, even sex is exercise. LOK develops his buttocks and gluts as he rams his cock in and out continuously, usually 3 sets for 85 reps should suffice. :lol:

It's simple psychology, that was my only point when you use most of your waking day obsessed with it. Few hours tops a day should be it....

IMO, 30 minutes treadmill and 45 minutes of weights 3 times a week is more than enough for any average fellow. All this BS of training while your watching tv or showering, or doing 1000 push ups and chins ups and running 5-6 miles daily isn't going to benefit anybody. The body will break down over time. The whole point of training is to be alive till your 80 at least. No reason why a good diet, basic cardio and weights, and playing a sport like tennis or something shouldn't do the trick.
I didn't realize FightBeat was filled with f*ckin' freaks! :lol: :laughing: All these 'bathroom' He-Men who desire to be something they're not. Please! What the f*ck are you gonna be running 5-6 miles every morning unless you're doing it for a competition or something?

Amen Hanzy! I am only doing it to become Cruiser-weight champion before I am 40 :dunno: I probably will always lift weights of some sort, maybe some shadowboxing now and again for cardio.... but no way will I be doing cardio HOURS a day the rest of my life.....

Geez, you guys don't get it at all. The harder training is for when you're trying to get down to the bodyweight you want to be at. From there you maintain. I doubt that LOK is planning on training as hard for the rest of his life. He wants to get down to his fighting weight. :doh::lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

you are really making me laugh TD>. lol.. I don't know if you are trying to or not

come on "Obsessed" :lol:

it is all how you look at it..

I mentioned breathing and walking.. granted that is a reach as you don't "think" about those..But tha's what I'm getting at.. just doing some exercise daily..

it is not obession.. it is just exercise your body everyday.. IMO that is what we are built for.. not to sit on our ass and plan out splits.. Chest and tris.. back and bi's.. shoulders.. and legs.. LOL.., THAT im "MY" view is obessing.. I'm talking about a much more relaxed view on it..

simple.. I wake up in the morning, I do some chins and pushups.. and bridging.. it is simply getting your blood flowing and using your body a bit

this is coming from a former Gym Rat too! I was a personal trainer as you know and LOVED the gym...
but I started to look at it differently.. people planning their workout splits.. running on treadmills.. I feel like they looked like hamsters on a wheel..

we are built to MOVE through the world..

so.. it is far from obession.. I hardly think about it.. I just "do it" throughout the day to keep my body healthy and strong

[LOK]

Exactly. Hours and hours of cardio! Jeez! :doh:

I can only speak for myself but I hardly do "hours" of cardio:lol:

[Buddy Rydell]

As soon as I hit 175-180, I'll dial back the cardio, but I have dropped about 23lbs since I started training, and I'm likely to drop it faster now because my endurance is up. I'm getting myself into all-time great shape with regards to my strength AND cardio. That isn't unhealthy or obsessed, but just a goal that motivates me to get healthier and to develop a lower level of bodyfat in the meantime.

If, at age 36, I can be in all-time best shape, there's no harm in it. My resting heartbeat is 52-56 beats per minute. My blood pressure is down, which is really important because high blood pressure runs in my family. No clogged arteries, heart enzymes are all good. Kidneys functioning as normal. In fact, most of my readings are getting towards the athletic end of the spectrum according to my doctor.

Or I could sit on a couch and eat Big Macs like Hanzy. :lol:

Problem with guys like you is you neglected much of your life, drinking and eating it all away. Now that you're a family man with kids, you have a different scope on life. You're looking at the long term where you want to play with your kids when they're adults, etc. Therefore you're now more conscious about your health and future. That's ok, it's normal. I know other people who think the same way. It was different when they were independent and could f*ck around at bars and party all the time in their younger days.
Welcome to adulthood! :bears: As for me, I don't need to go nuts about training and cardio. Nobody in my family in any generation ever had a heart attack or suffered a stroke or had high blood pressure. Hell even my granny is 81 and still travelling the world. I'll be fine, even with my Big Macs:) I'll be here 4 Life, photoshopping your asses into the ground as only I can!!!!

Um, no.:lol:

I went to college, went to university, became a teacher, and then won a federal competition to become a nationally-published social researcher and policy analyst for the federal government, which I've done for years now. Along the way I got engaged, married, had a son with my wife, and also brought her mom, brother, and sister from the East Coast to come and live with us for a few years when her mom was divorcing her dad (looking after her family for a few years and making sure the kids got into university on scholarships because we pushed them to study). I've probably achieved a lot more than you have, and although I don't normally brag, I've hardly neglected my life. :lol:

I've been a family man for a long time. You just didn't whine like this when I was just pushing heavy weights because it didn't remind you of how fat and slovenly you are. "Problem with guys like you" is that you have to slag others for pursuing their goals. LOK and I talk training, and we also help others with training advice gained from our experience.

Maybe you should do something with your life instead of whining on a messageboard? Maybe you shouldn't bash others for making themselves happy when you're not? There's the real issue, Hanzy. The negativity isn't about our routines. It's clear you're just not happy. :lol:

it has nothing to do with Ego in my case.. it has to do with pushing my SELF and getting better each year..

I have to admit it got more serious for me after my stroke 2 years ago.. even though I was in shape then and my "shape" had nothing to do with it.. I just think Health is important.

it really blows my mind how much people DONT exercise!! people all over complain about everything and they dont take care of their bodies

I dont see why you even care what we do?

it is not bragging.. it's not self inflated ego..

it is just sharing "training and conditioning" ideas in a forum, under the sub-section of "Training and conditioning" imagine that?

I mean.. if you dont train or want to stay in shape.. why do you even care? why come in and talk trash..?

Stress is when you're living on $1 a day and trying to feed your whole family which is the case of about a billion people in this world. Stress is when you go to the doctor and they tell you something you don't want to hear. Stress is when you can't pay your bills. Stress is when your house burns down and everything you ever possessed in your life is gone! Stress is life! You live in a bubble if you don't know what stress is. No amount of chin ups is gonna help you there.
There's a way of keeping it under control as Buddy said, to work out and try to think positively. Since working out can help relieve stress to a degree. But working out isn't going to solve life's problems either. It can help sooth the pain for a few hours but there are far many more problems people have to deal with.
I agree though that many people are fat and lazy but there are many who aren't who still can't make ends meet. Working out and jogging doesn't pay the bills.

So then what the f*ck would I act like? The Terminator? Would I just do 1000 hindu pushups to mend my spirit when i found out my whole family died in a plane crash? :lol::laughing:


Hanzy.. I'm saying.. it's a different way to look at things..

of course your whole family dying in a plane crash is pretty extreme.. but daily things in life.. work.. etc.. do not have to put such a mental strain on you..

You're the one who claimed to eat Big Macs all the time, and one of those photos you posted had a Big Mac box in it. Gee, you feel I disrespect you Hanzy?

Poor Hanzy. He's so respectful to Lok and to me. And here I treat him with such disrespect in return.

I wasn't ever whining about your exercise routines, fool. I was saying a lot of it was pointless bullsh*t. I was talking to Tyler and from the results he achieved 2 years ago where he followed a diet/training plan(his thread got deleted) showing his improvements. He didn't have to do 1000s of pushups and chin ups and run his ass off daily.
Like I said. 30 minutes treadmill and maybe 45 minutes weights 3 times a week is just fine.
As for me, I can eat Big Macs and still go out and play soccer or rugby without worrying about any injury or needing an oxygen mask. I'm hardcore baby!!!!

[Tyler Durden]

Geez, you guys don't get it at all. The harder training is for when you're trying to get down to the bodyweight you want to be at. From there you maintain. I doubt that LOK is planning on training as hard for the rest of his life. He wants to get down to his fighting weight. :doh::lol:

[Tyler Durden]

:lol::lol::lol:

you are really making me laugh TD>. lol.. I don't know if you are trying to or not

come on "Obsessed" :lol:

it is all how you look at it..

I mentioned breathing and walking.. granted that is a reach as you don't "think" about those..But tha's what I'm getting at.. just doing some exercise daily..

it is not obession.. it is just exercise your body everyday.. IMO that is what we are built for.. not to sit on our ass and plan out splits.. Chest and tris.. back and bi's.. shoulders.. and legs.. LOL.., THAT im "MY" view is obessing.. I'm talking about a much more relaxed view on it..

simple.. I wake up in the morning, I do some chins and pushups.. and bridging.. it is simply getting your blood flowing and using your body a bit

this is coming from a former Gym Rat too! I was a personal trainer as you know and LOVED the gym...
but I started to look at it differently.. people planning their workout splits.. running on treadmills.. I feel like they looked like hamsters on a wheel..

we are built to MOVE through the world..

so.. it is far from obession.. I hardly think about it.. I just "do it" throughout the day to keep my body healthy and strong

E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y???? You are sounding like Jack Lalanne.....which he was obsessed.

[Free Ike]

LOk, I did 250 pushups after I hit the heavy bag, a 210 pound bag for 1:35 minutes. I think I can do 500 and the weekend days. Hopefully, this weekend.

[Buddy Rydell]

I normally run 5k a day for every day of the week. This week I am bumping that up to 6k a day. I also did 55chins, 80 HSPU, and 80 hanging knee kicks each day last week.

I'm gonna alternate windsprints and middle distance running on different days because I have to get my wind for floor hockey. That, plus the bodyweight training, will get my weight down rather quickly. :crafty:

If you wanna see real fitness, go to an MMA gym and try wrestling with some of the top guys there. That sh*t requires a hell of a lot more cardio than just running and doing pushups and hitting pads. Even marathon runners can't last sh*t there.
It's even more amazing that mma guys(some of them) can fight for up to 5 minutes of 5 rounds. Then there are guys who can't like Travis Lutter and more often than not, BJ Penn.

Actually it does come in quite handy. Sometimes this job can be killer boring, but I know that I'm going to the gym at lunch or doing a run right after I get home. That definitely gets me through a boring day.

Today, however, isn't boring. I have a fair amount of work to get done and a meeting with my group. Right after, I'm going to the gym, so the workouts actually do take the boredom and irritation out of the job.:lol:

Plus, I know my health is going up. That also alleviates stress, work-related and otherwise.

i think you have it backwards Tyler

LOK's way of training is less obsessive than a proper work out split.......it involves none of the below:
travelling to the gym
gym membership
protein shakes
watching protein and calorie intake and all that shit
doing long intense workouts that deplete your body and drain your nervous system and leave you weak for at least the next day

No, I am not skinny and I eat a lot. In fact, not a day goes by when one of my coworkers doesn't comment on how much I eat. I am 5'11 and 185.

I am trying to get back slowly into shape. However, my body has responded very well. I am not really that sore and I think hitting a 210 pound bag with punches and thai kicks 5 days a week, running 6 miles the other two and then one day when I do both. I also am doing 200 pushups every other day. I am also doing 500 situps 4 days a week.I don't know? Is that slow? I really don't know. I didn't plan getting into shape. I was just stressed out and started a routine and now I have been doing it for 3 months. I only lost 5 pounds.

I will never be a muscle bound guy. I just have very thin frame. I am not ripped but not skinny.

Frig, I did a three-hour hike yesterday and I am definitely not used to that. I also ran at a slightly more than 10km/h pace for 45 minutes at lunchtime. That definitely drained a bit of water out of me. I just might go down to 170. It's been such a gradual decrease that I'm positive it'll stay off permanently.

I'm gonna do a 6km light jog around 5 or 6, and I've got some walking to do besides. At least I'm feeling energetic and not worn like I was a few days ago.:kidcool:

Are you lifting more or less weights now in the gym? How's your deadlift coming?

[Buddy Rydell]

Are you lifting more or less weights now in the gym? How's your deadlift coming?

Much less, Hanzy. I'm doing circuit training for the next 3 months and then I'll likely switch back to the heavy stuff. I'm now running faster than I did in high school when I competed in the Eastern Ontarios. Of course, I wasn't a great runner then either, but my endurance is just as good now. Plus, I'm actually speeding it up. As soon as I start running 10km three times a week, I'm going to make sure one of those runs is on the weekend and then I'm going to start adding to it, bit by bit.

And next summer I'll try running a half-marathon.

[Buddy Rydell]

I'm going for 500 chins tomorrow

Did you get them?

MY guess is no, but you might surprise me. Myself, I'm doing 75 chins, HSPU, and kneekicks everyday. That's on top of the running. I'm going to keep up the circuit training and add some other nightly drills to tighten up for spring.

If I can hit 175 by next spring, I'll be in Heaven. :lol:

I'm gonna try not to lose any musclemass, and I'm going to go lighter and increase my number of supersets and trisets to work on muscle definition. I think I'll make 180 at any rate, but 175 is certainly doable.

How important is your diet in all of this?

[Buddy Rydell]

How important is your diet in all of this?

Very. I've cut out the junk food for the most part although I still enjoy the Saturday cheat meal and an occasional plate of shawarma with lots of salad here or there. I tend to eat eggs (egg burritos with hot sauce for breakfast), spicy thai chili tuna for lunch or a snack, yogourt, lots of water, granola and nutrigrain bars, and either pasta, chicken, steak or turkey for supper.

I have the occasional Diet Coke or gatorade, but typically I drink 2 or more litres of water a day. I also have the occasional Subway cold cut trio.

I try for moderation in everything. I had a beer last night while watching Scrubs, but drank over a litre of water afterwards.

I'm running pretty clean, nutrition-wise. I occasionally take potassium, magnesium, and Vita-vim for extra vitamins and minerals.

Last Saturday, instead of a cheat meal, I went to a keg party and I didn't gain anything although I had some draft beer. I made sure to have lots of water and vitamins the next day when I was helping a friend move.

i have been sticking to 100 a day on one weekend day.. but doing them GTG style the rest of the week..

pushups and chins daily and dips as well.

i'm hoping in the next couple weeks to finish my outdoor chin bar so I can work on Muscleups etc..

[Buddy Rydell]

80 HSPU, chins, and hanging kneekicks per day. I'm running about 11km in an hour and doing circuits on the days when I'm not running. I now run 3 times a week and walk on the treadmill everyday. I'm also doing boxing drills and drinking lots of water.

Yesterday I came back from the gym and weighed 200.2 on my digital scale. That's not bad considering I was having a lot of beer Saturday night and eating a lot of pizza. Otherwise I might have been 195-196. So this week I plan on getting down to that. :crafty:

80 HSPU, chins, and hanging kneekicks per day. I'm running about 11km in an hour and doing circuits on the days when I'm not running. I now run 3 times a week and walk on the treadmill everyday. I'm also doing boxing drills and drinking lots of water.

Sounds like a lot of boring pointless sh*t to me. Why not go play tennis for like 2-3 hours daily or go rowing or something instead of doing useless crap like this? Push ups, chinups, knee kicks...:lol:
You train like you're trying to get into the NFL or something.

[Hanz]

I did!

i have been sticking to 100 a day on one weekend day.. but doing them GTG style the rest of the week..

pushups and chins daily and dips as well.

i'm hoping in the next couple weeks to finish my outdoor chin bar so I can work on Muscleups etc..

You could do all that sh*t using dumbells and barbells and the basic benches in the gym.

Your choices are actually a lot more useless to me, Hanzy. I can do the chins, HSPU, and knee kicks at home, in the office, or at the gym during lunch. Why do you care what I do anyway? I come here to discuss it with LOK, Huthut, and a few others...not some Big Mac-munching fatass who sits around whining about my training. It's like me asking you, "Why don't you set down the Big Macs and eat a salad once in awhile. Why not change your blubbery fat ass so you don't have a coronary?" I don't ask these things because I don't care about your training. :dunno::lol:

Tennis, I'd have to go to a court and there are none nearby. Same for rowing. Yes, the Ottawa river is 8 kilometres away, but I'd have to rent or buy a kayak or canoe and other accessories like paddles and goggles. Transport it to the river, get in with a lifejacket, and then deal with freezing cold water and the possibility of drowning.

On top of that, I have a son to look after and, unlike you, I don't plan on selling him.:lol:

So I do exercises that maintain my strength and endurance while I jog and do other accessible forms of cardio. I also do circuit training and it is burning the fat off. I do my training because it accomplishes my goals and keeps me healthy. Why do you care, Hanzy? :lol:

No, actually he couldn't. You need an overhead bar and sufficient clearance to do muscleups.

[Hanz]

They have that sh*t in the gym too.

[Buddy Rydell]

They have that sh*t in the gym too.

But maybe not at gyms near him. They don't at the ones in my area. To be able to do a muscleup, you need a freestanding bar that will support a gym member. It's different than just a chinup bar attached to a Universal machine.

why go to the gym Hanzy? if I can do it at my house?

I don't need to do all that "eat healthy live long/exercise daily" bullsh*t. I'm rock solid. I'm one of the toughest guys around. While fags in my family are watching their diets, I'm eating Big Macs and still doing whatever sh*t I wanna do without needing to do some gayass knee kicks and turning upside down to do push ups just cause I need to make sure I live long to play ball with my kids.
Who the f*ck wants to do that sh*t day after day after day? Hell even putting that much stress on your body is probably gonna f*ck you up even worse than just doing maybe 30 minutes basic treadmill a day.
I wouldn't do any of that sh*t unless I was a pro athlete and my income depended on my performance.
I guess you probably lift your computer monitor over your head for reps at work too during coffee break? What else, do you repeatedly go up and down off the toilet seat pretending you're squatting while you're taking a shit in the bathroom stall at work? :lol:
