For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

[RKenshin]

Psh, CS, you've got as good of a chance (if not more) as me and anyone else! I got lucky in it coinciding with my cut/tough mudder training lol... But I think it'd be pretty close comparing, say, going from 10% to 7% BF and biking X more miles a week (your potential hypothetical) and going from 17% to 12% BF and running Y more miles/week (my potential hypothetical).

Could be close!

Especially with it coming to a vote (not to mention everyone else's various fitness goals too).

I want to join, but I just tore ligaments in my right foot last tuesday from football, so I don't think I can make anything happen to the extreme it would take for me to improve passed others . Besides being at a 7.3% BF, hitting my goal in almost every weights category, I don't want to really get any bigger/leaner. I wish everyone the best of luck though, I cannot wait to see results.

http://www.bluegartr.com/image/png;b...AASUVORK5CYII=Here is my current schedule. I've been eating around 4000-4500 calories a day and I've put on 12lbs in 6 weeks. I was planning on starting my cut on the 19th but the 15th is cool! I'm going to drop to 2500-3000 calories out of the gate. I'm going to move from DB's to BB's on most lifts and I may even move from a 3 day upper body to 4 day push/pull workout. I'll post up my diet plan sometime this week and hopefully have someone critique it. I may throw in some fasted AM cardio.

Really stepped it up a notch today on the workout. This thing is just the kick in the ass I needed.

[Nabent]

This is the push I need, with so many of my friends flaking out me, I need this.

[AoE]

Thinking about this, not really to compete, but to regain some motivation for when I finish the semester and have more free time on my hands.

[Sho]

I think I want to sign up as well for myself.

Pillar Man status would be so godlike right now.

[Gustave]

How do you plan on standardizing the goals?

[Fievel]

This is the push I need, with so many of my friends flaking out me, I need this.

I'm definitely with you there. I've had four different people, friends and family, flake out on me when it comes to working out in the last two months. Always say they want to lift with me and that they'll stick with it then a week later stop coming and ignore my calls/texts until finally giving me some bullshit excuse on why they can't.

LAZY! Really sucks though, I hate lifting alone.

[dejet]

Find someone at the gym already.they always turned out to be my best partners.

[AoE]

I don't mind lifting alone but with school and work, it's really easy to make excuses not to go. I've been feeling like shit lately and I know part of it is because I haven' been working out lately.

[Fievel]

No gym membership, I have a weight set at home that I use.

Also, looking for a little advice on what lifts I can add on. I have a very basic lifting schedule and have really been wanting to expand on it

I lift every other day cycling an A and a B workout like most people, A is Squats/Bench press/Pull ups. B is Deadlift/Bent over row/Standing military press. I do all of these 5x5 except the pull ups which I just do three sets of as many as I possibly can.

What I'm really wanting to add on is exercises/lifts to work on my core/lowerback/chest/arms a bit more, just not sure exactly which lifts would be best for those.

[Cream Soda]

I can workout with partners or solo. Makes no diff here.

[Chrius]

Anybody use Bodbot.com ? I've been doing that for about a month now and like it. Suggests exercises and whatnot. Supposedly keeps up with you, making adjustments. Can banish exercises can't / won't do. I've set it to schedule M,T,Th,Sat workouts and added in a static 40 minutes of elliptical to appear every M,T,W,Th,Sat. For reference, this is what it has planned for me this week. I do the elliptical at the end, but IDK if it matters because I'm terrible.

No i have not but i will definitely take a look at it.

[Sho]

I'ma slacker without a partner, real talk. My roommate has been on my case for going to the gym however. Definitely going to step it up.

[Chrius]

Also, bodbot says it will move towards separating muscle groups to different days eventually. I'm just beginning. There's a setting for how much you've been working out before starting

[myreality]

Well now is the best time. We can all try and show up RKenshin and Cream Soda.

[Serif]

If I wasn't in Japan during this I would def be down. Might try to catch up to you guys when I am back in the country. Not sure how I could compare when I am not really going for strength that much anymore?

[Meresgi]

I'm down for this competition stuff, I need to really get myself going again, been working out here and there but need to cut out my shitty diet and lose some weight. Hopefully I can remind myself about posting updates and shit.
