BG Fitness Competition! TIME TO VOTE BG!

Second week!

Much busier this week (and probably next week too), so didn't get as much workout time as the first week/I had hoped. Got stuck working some overtime, had a physical (yay for excellent blood work results!), gave blood, and a few other things going on.

Still got in a fair amount of running, exercising, etc. Down a good 10lbs from the start too.

I missed this thread when it first showed up apparently. I am out as I am a lazy bitch. However, good job to all of you keeping up with this!

I had a strong start to the week and horrible finish. I haven't worked out in the past four days due to studying for finals and class, though that changes next week as I'm out of school starting Wed. I'm going to hit up the gym and start again tomorrow. Today I'm finishing up studying for my finals. With that being said though I have lost 6 lbs over the last week and a half and I'm running better and lifting more as well.

@RKensin, what do you use for the table output on your workout schedule? I need something that's easier to glance at then just a giant list in notepad lol.

finished up the week doing squats/burpees and a bunch of cardio shit. Legs are killing me but it's been awhile since I really worked them hard. fucking woke up today and had a charlie horse, fucking calf is killing me.

Did back today with a buddy of mine. He showed barbell exercise is.... it targeting the lats? the whole back or the chest? I can feel it in my back definitely.

And question how you would rate it versus t-bar(barbell) rows?

[myreality]

I have not done that exercise so i can't really comment on it. I can however do a little research and find out.

Took a couple quick photos today. Not much progress is shown I don't think.
Will be back in the states on Thursday to upload soon after.
Haven't weighed in since Tuesday when I left. Been off my diet plan since then but haven't been going crazy. This week I've done some hiking and about an hour of open water swimming (like we need to swim out and around that buoy over there to get where we're going, not just floating near the shore).

Edit: photos taken on 4-28

Do your best Chrius, even a little activity everyday will provide results and maintain what you do have.


Hey Cream Soda! I know you just had your bike stolen but how are things? Able to figure out what to do?

Ha, that's just me being an excel junky... it isn't some program output or anything. I put the table together just for this (figured that yeah, it'd be easier to digest than word/notepad).

I could upload a template of it or something, if you want.

Yeah if you could, makes it easier to track my progress then just notepad/printing out a sheet each day. Pretty sure OpenOffice works with excel templates.

Mafkr,

That is generally a press used to work front delts. You could also use the leg press to get same effect. Just have to stand above the seat.

I've been eating 3k cal a day and completely cut out cardio in my workouts and yet I still lost two pounds

That's because lean muscle burns fat longer/better than cardio.

No, it's because my body hates me.

Don't make excuses for it.

I will give all of you my extra pounds. I have about 60 to spare.

/sigh ... if only ...

Stop being a hater.

The key to fitness is to hate your body, because once you accept that you look good you've lost the battle.

I learned that terrible piece of advice from scrubs.

This is scary because i just finished that episode on Netflix right before i came on here.


I hate to say it but if your looking to add more pounds either add another 1000 calories or reduce your workouts. Input/output is key here.

Like i said, don't just run do some light workouts, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, with your running, preferably before you start running. Lean muscle will take care of your extra pounds.

I would like to relate but my metabolism is fucking awesome!
Except i have to work twice as hard to gain muscle.

Seriously though, yoga and or calisthenics or take a few dance classes and learn something fun.

Lmao, I just watched it a week or so ago.

And yeah I know I'm just going to bitch about eating more every step of the way because I can!

[Aksannyi]

My metabolism was great too, then I turned about ... 26. Now it sucks.

I'm gonna hit the pool today before work if it isn't raining. If it is raining, well, I'll figure something else out.
