FITNESS THREAD - I went to the gym for the first time in 2 years

[WITCHCRAFT]

I fucking hate gyms, and I'm not so interested in short-term effect chasing, but long-term healthy grow and real applicable strength. And as little side effects and long-term injuries as possible. 

So: working my way slowly through "convict conditioning" (one of the best systematic calisthenics courses around) with some flexibility/energy flow oriented stuff added that I borrowed from several Qi Gong / Yoga traditions. Works pretty well.

I am in my late 40s and feel better now than even at times where I was doing excessive mountain-biking and other sports in the past and was considered quite "fit".

Absolutely no need for supplements or other weird "substances" either.

Moderately healthy food - 60-80% raw food, some good beef and chicken and eggs, lots of nuts and almonds, and lots of sprouts (easy to make, and esp. beans and lentils are great for taste and protein, can eat them raw in salads, throw them in the blender, or fry them in a wok, all delicious). Sugar, wheat, bread, rice, pasta, pizza, oats,  etc. only on "pig days" once or twice a week.

And dogs and gardening for cardio...

Never thought about tossin' sprouts in the blender. I'll have to try that soon. I like growing mine from mung beans.

As far as feeling good, the best I ever felt was when I could just pedal my bike for hours and miles. 8PM to midnight or later. After the first 20 minutes or so I'm just in some kind of runner's high trance. Then when I get home it feels like I'm a balloon and my feet are just gonna drift up of the ground and stay in the air.

also im jelly bout your garden i only have a 2 meter square in my backyard with decent sunlight (lookin to move soon though so maybe i'll have the sprawling hippy garden of my dreams one day~~~)

tons of spinach

I ate a whole can of spinach straight out the can while cookin' up some eggs and chicken for dinner last night.

Mrs. Witchcraft called me many vile things.

okay now time for some serious shit.

if u wanna lose weight and you only do cardio you are a pusy because you will lose fat and muscles equally. you need to lift bruh for gains. here is my suggestion for endomorph fuggets. wake up in teh morning as always. get sum caffein, sum aminoacids, sum carnitine(idc if its liquid or pill but liquid is better imo bcause you drink that shit before 30-45 mins bfore workout/cardio and thats it. pills are more complicated.) go for a walk for 1 hour. return home eat sum clean shit and wait for gym. when u go to gym do your regular workout(dont be a pusy) after dat get on the treadmill boi shits bout to begin. I FUKEN SUGGEST H.I.I.T.(High fucking intensity interval god damn training bruh for real) do 5 sets of hiit and you are done boi. if u eat clean and do dis shit u gon have chiseled abs 4 real bro. and guna say 1 more sheit more muscles= more calories burnt while doing shit. so if you are a weak pusy dont even try to do cardio m8 u gon be skinnyfat 4real. get sum muscles first before u do cardio.

How to annoy everyone at your local gym.

No, no one has ever been annoyed by watching me do these workouts. People that notice come up to me all time and ask about the work out, including the roiders.

[WITCHCRAFT]

Lunch is chicken thighs, spinach, and peanut butter. I slapped it all in a skillet with masala and hot pepper flakes.

Shit is like chicken satay and palak paneer had a baby. iIt's soo hearty and satisfying.

my 5 day routinte, takes me an hour and a half before work mon-fri including showering and changing

monday- chest: chestpress, incline chestpress, flys, incline flys, pec deck
tuesday- back: lat pull down 3sets front 3 sets back, bent rows, dead lifts
wednesday- arm/legs: squats, inclined leg press , calf extentions, some other silly leg machines they have. i do 9 sets on arms, the first 6 are a "super set" so after as soon as i finish the set i grab 2 10kg dumbells and do anoter 10/12 reps. the last 3 sets are with the "curl bar"
thursday- traps/triceps: shoulder shrugs 3 sets in front 3 sets behind, upright rows, dips, seated dip, cable tricep extentions, dumbel tricep extention
friday- shoulders: shoulder press, front dumbel raise, side dumbel raise, shouder press on the machine

its a good routine a different body part hurts every day, i try to mix it up and do differnt things every week, i rotate weekly between dumbells and bar on things like chest press, shoulder press and shrugs. any cardio i do is after work, but thats pretty rare atm. i do love lifting though

Try high intensity body weight workouts with some running/sprinting(this isn't crossfit!) Has low impact on the body, burns fat quick, adds muscle, good cardio,  and the work outs are around 60 minutes(stretch/warm up for 20-30 minutes).

(click to show/hide)

Example:

warm up: 10-15 minutes of dynamic stretching - treadmill(3.0% elevation setting) - walk/jog - 1 mile

Tread mill run/sprint - 3.0% elevation, 9.0spd - 20-30 seconds
- 10 regular pushups
- 10 bicep curls

Static Stretches -10-15 minutes

Whey protein shake with added glutamine after all workouts or strenuous exercises.


You can adjust the workouts inbetween with some other workouts like curls, deadlifts, squats, or more core workouts etc. Try doing this once a week and consider it a full body work out.  Make sure to pay attention to your heart rate and don't over do yourself. Play it safe, if you need a longer break, take one. listen to you body!

For "diet", stick to the basics. Eat less red meat and eat more lean proteins(turkey, chicken, fish, beans, veggies etc), tons of spinach, tons brown rice and sweet potato, variety of different kinds of veggies, tons of fruit(dont worry about sugar), Nuts(almonds, peanuts, cashews etc), unflavored yogurt, oatbran or some sort of granola or oats(no quaker or any of that sugar crap). Drink a lot of water.

For extra help with weight loss, drink a warm class of water with lemon and honey(half lemon squeezed and whatever amount of honey) first thing in the morning. You'll feel good.
