did 20 minutes of rowing and 15 minutes on the bike last night. it was a cross train day for me so i chose to do cardio. today, i have a 3 miler to get after, hope it doesn't rain!
Just got done a 3 mile run, took 34 minutes. I also started some peptides to see if it will help out with rotator cuffs and other ailments I have (too many to list). Jumped on the scale this morning and it said 171lbs 17.6%BF and this evening, it read 170lbs 16.7%BF. I remember buying the scale before I joined this site and the scale saying 212lbs 24%BF. I know the electronic scales are not great at determine BF% but I have watched this one go down as the weight went down and would have to say its pretty close.
Nice to see you at it. Keep it up!
Did a full body workout this evening, calf/achilles felt fine while squatting. My knee however on that same leg, felt weak so I backed off. Looks like I will be resting my legs for the rest of the week. Maybe I did too much too fast? I haven't missed a workout on my schedule in 15 days so pumped about that. Looks like I will be doing a lot of rowing tomorrow for cardio!
do u take any joint supplements? Like move free? I was told they help. I have no experience with them BTW.
i tried some super cissus before and all the others. nothing works! never heard of move free, i will check it out. i think sarge had something up in a thread about heavily dosing fish oils and it helped some but i have never tried that yet. i am a teenager in an 80 year olds body! (like TR)
well, didn't take yesterday off. i went hit some golf balls on the range, could not sit still! i think i found my groove with my golf swing and i am loving it. now, i just need to get out and play!
on another note, i am heading back to the home town tomorrow to do some long over do fishin'! honestly, i cannot wait to get out on the open water and go far enough to where my damn phone won't work!
When I drop some bf and have an impressive max on bench, I might just make another vid. I pray you get away and spend some recovery time doing what you love to do, away from the phone and the grind.
well, made it back from my fishin trip even though i didn't want to leave! did ok, didn't get the freezer as full as i wanted to but i have fresh fish! on another note, i brought my road bike to houston and i am going to start training on it again. i will be devising a new routine through out the week and try to see what i can fit in my schedule. the ultimate goal is still the same, get ripped up! i know the keep repeating this, but my diet needs work! i know what to eat, but just don't do it! i was trying to go with straight whole foods for protein intake but i am finding it hard to get all my 250grams in a day, so thinking about going back to the ole protein powder again. my biggest problem is that i am not disciplined when it comes to dieting, but i will try to put forth a better effort. i know it is going to be really tough with football coming up also!
I have some good news and some horrible news. Good news first. I got a raise and ran/walked 3 miles. The horrible news, my cousin got shot in the head last night and is in ICU. It's crazy to think that one of my family members might be murdered!
Finally took the road bike for a spin, did 13 miles in 55 minutes. I def have to build my legs back up. This time a year ago, I was avg around 18-19mph. Felt good to ride!
i have been a lazy ass lately and still have not come up with a legit weekly routine or diet. i am either going to do 60/20/20 or 50/30/20, and try to adhere to it at least 5 days out of the week! i know that my cals and carbs will be higher on saturdays and sundays coming up, FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!
what u waiting on?
5 days out of the week doesn't work for me anymore...u have lost weight, cupcake since u started this journey. I had to adjust my intake downward and change my split.
can you incorporate a modest cheat meal into one of the weekend days and eat the brocilli and carrots with no dip on the other day????
and my most important question - whose team u on this year?????????? ...saints or the cowboys????
SAINTS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not in dallas, in houston so i will route for the AFC Texans.
hahaha, no cupcake here, sugar britches! i haven't hit my macros in over 3 months and really wasn't hitting them then either before that. i was getting close, but with work and taking clients out to eat all the time, it was hard to stay within my macro parameters. like i said, i have been a lazy ass of late but that is about to change. one thing that really holds me back, beside diet, is my nagging inuries. everytime i get going with a full head of steam, i get hurt and take 3 steps back. my whole left leg basically hurts so cardio and leg exercises are pretty much out of the question, which sucks because my fav exercise is squats! don't worry, this dog is still huntin and fightin'! i am just not one to give up!
Did 3 miles this evening in 40 minutes. Caught cramps pretty bad, think I was a little dehydrated from drinking green tea after lunch. It is hot, that is all!
Hey RC hope you had a good weekend. How is your new routine/diet going?
weekend was great!! hooked up with a girl that 10 years younger than me! first 20 year old i had since i was 20! 30 is the new 18! hahaha! i think i have my diet worked out, its just time for me to really put it into action. routine is still a work in progress, trying to see what i can do and can't do, due to my nagging injuries.
i have my diet pretty much laid out and will post it up later on. work is crazy today!
5'10
170.8 lbs (down from 196 lbs Jan 2011)
18-19% (down from 26% Jan 2011)
ok, here it goes:
FAST (15-16 hours) everyday
1200-1230 Meal 1
8-10 oz of either chicken or 96% lean beef
1/2 cup brown rice
raw broccoli and cauliflower
330-400 Meal 2
6-8 oz of chicken/tuna/96% lean beef
1 cup Bing cherries
raw broccoli and cauliflower
730-900 Meal 3
8-10 oz chicken or 96% lean beef
cup fat free cottage cheese
scoop protein powder
tsbp natural PB (want to find some powdered PB)
2200-2300 cals (275g pro/120g carb/60g fat)
i will sub in sweet pots, oats, wheat pasta, and wheat muffins for rice at times. i get bored really easy eating the same things all the time so i try to mix it up, plus i love being in the kitchen(which i need to do more of!). i will also add in egg whites to shakes that make at night and/or "protein ice cream." i have a sweet tooth and the protein powder does the trick! i will also sub out the starchy carb for green veggies on days i don't workout. the diet above is basically a moderate carb day and i will do my best to cycle them. i still am working on my training schedule, went run 3 miles today, left knee is still shaky. i am thinking about slowing down with the running, with the knee pain, and thinking about doing kettlebell workouts with HIIT cardio. i have numerous workouts printed out so i can change it up weekly. i will also have to gauge my rotator cuffs and add in exercises to strengthen them. my long cardio days will be on the bike. i will be adding in a NYC stack (norepinepherine/green tea extract/caf/and other stims) in once i really get my routine/schedule. once i can get my knee back healthy (or feeling better), i am thinking about taking a page out of a wise woman's book and start doing a 20-30 min cardio session during my hour lunch break.

What are you weighing in at now? I have not read the whole theead but if you haven't look into intermittent fasting with carb cycling. It makes cutting super easy.
RC good luck man. Focus and get it done.
my main focus is getting my body back in functioning condition, meaning training with minimal pain. i can't remember the last time i went a day without pain, and i have a memory like a steel trap! it's not really about luck, it's about discipline! like i said before, i may rent a dominatrix to follow me around!!!![]()
