Sevenstring.org Get in Shape contest - starting today, June 25th! - Page 10

Papa Shank · 09-16-2008, 11:56 AM

I think I'm going to have to get back into exercise and nutrition starting Thursday, focussing on the big three and running twice on workout days (road running in the morning pre-breakfast going for best time over a set distance and treadmill running going for best distance over a set time). Also worth noting that the only reason I'll be doing anything before breakfast is to unload my colon (anything over 2 miles of fast paced running seems to do the trick).

Can't wait to pig out on clean food

budda · 09-17-2008, 07:30 AM

havent been to the gym since friday.

sick, not eating right, sleep is iffy..

it'll throw a kink in the works for a bit

FortePenance · 09-17-2008, 07:47 AM

I'm sick, I sprained my finger and have an essay to write but i'll probably go on Friday anyway. I was considering going tonight but I figured resting my newly hurt finger would be a better alternative.

And doing my homework. >_>

DelfinoPie · 09-17-2008, 10:46 AM

So I'm kind of walking funny today, all that running around yesterday has shocked my legs into doing something!

Weights today, and then cycling before dinner

B Lopez · 09-21-2008, 02:05 PM

10 miles in 30 minutes on the bike today.

Drew/other bike people, how long should that take me?

Thats a pace of 20 miles an hour. Seems pretty damn good to me.

kmanick · 09-22-2008, 12:20 PM

when I was training for my Sprint this past August I was riding 10 miles in 20 minutes and then immediately running 4 miles as close to or under 32 minutes as I could.
My cardio went way up this summer doing that every other morning before work.

10 miles in thirty minutes is pretty good. 3 minute miles.

I'm down to 208 (from 218 in July).

DelfinoPie · 09-22-2008, 12:26 PM

Football again tomorrow, possiby, the forecast is one of heavy rain

Either way, cycling and weights every day until Christmas seems do-able regardless of the weather

B Lopez · 09-23-2008, 06:32 PM

Did "Tabata" this morning.

Afternoon:
5k on the C2 rower: 23:37

Gilbucci · 09-24-2008, 07:33 PM

Got my diet in check again

I was going to exercise tonight, but I feel sick as a dog, so I'll do it tomorrow. I'm at around 190 right now (I'm 6 feet tall) and I want to get around 170-175.

FortePenance · 09-26-2008, 11:18 AM

Those stairs look really cool man. >_>

Anyway here's a pic of me, i'm a giant queer.

Anton · 09-30-2008, 07:14 AM

Winter is coming so I need to be prepared to gain a lot of mass

Depends what you're riding on. Level terrain, minimal to no headwind, no traffic lights or rtoad crossings you have to stop at, and on a road bike (super-low rolling resistance), you should be able to get that up to high 20's, maybe even over 30. Mountain bike on the same terrain, it's a bit more respectable.

Rolling ups and downs, and your average speed is naturally going to drop a lot, so if there were some significant hill climbs in there that's not bad at all.

FWIW, there's this bike path near me that I ride end to end every now and then. It's about 26 miles round trip, and including stopping for traffic/other pedestrians and crossings, and the fact it goes slightly uphill for 2/3 of the way out, then slightly down, I've gotten as fast as sub 1:20 end to end, about an average of 22 miles an hour. Given a lesser pedestrian load and some lucky breaks on the crossings, I'm hoping to crack one hour by the end of the season.

190.0 this morning, still - I've had zero time to excersize lately. :/

B Lopez · 09-30-2008, 03:05 PM

This morning:

Squats @ 315 lbs/143 kg @ 5x5
Then some sprints.

Drew, you probably wont get any less than 187 with your size/workout. Start working on how you look.

Do your pecs get sore when you bike? By the time I'm done they're cramping and sore for daaaays.

FortePenance · 10-02-2008, 09:34 AM

I'm hoping to break 150lb soon. I'm 149lb atm. Hopefully 155 by the time this whole thing ends, that would be great.

ILdÐÆMcº³ · 10-14-2008, 12:48 AM

I lost a pant size in the last 3 weeks but no weight. Which is alright because I would assume that means I've also made muscle gains.

Your weights probably shifting so definitely yes, give yourself a pat on the back.

This sort of goes without saying but use your testosterone to your benefit. We're all dudes here. Get competitive, workout with other guys and do your best to best them, feel guilty if you lose, etc. Join in on some kind of local pickup game, like basketball or baseball or anything that you can play for bragging rights.

Having weight loss goals are great and you can reach them, but it takes so long that your determination is bound to waver if you do not get your blood boiling from time to time.

budda · 11-06-2008, 07:10 AM

I'm back down to 208 most of the time, and i think that im starting to finally lose my flab around the pantline, at least over the belt buckle

.

i dunno if i mentioned it, but i have a program for the gym, as well as when im going - so now i can hit the gym 3 times a week and i know when, and i know what im gonna do while i'm there

. oh how i want to lose the moobs and the muffintop lol.

I just cant figure out how come i keep running less and less on the treadmill - i think its mostly mental block, but i went from being able to do half an hour and now 20 minutes seems like a chore

and im trying to eat healthy too, but that has gone a bit downhill since those first two weeks of college

Tiger · 11-06-2008, 11:13 AM

^ Dude definitely get on a stationary bike for a few weeks. I had bad shin splints this year so for the first month prior to my reentry I rode a stationary and it is so much more fun than running. The one I ride has a random program so each day is different, and the time flies by so much faster than on a treadmill.

Treadmills suck! I am running on one for the new few weeks and its the most boring thing in the gym. Dont blame yourself if it feels like a chore cause it bloody well is.

Its also easier to get your heart rate low enough so that youre burning fat instead of your carb/protein stores. Just pedaling in la la land for an hour burns 400 calories and it can get way more intense depending on how you work the machine.

B Lopez · 11-06-2008, 02:18 PM

yay weightlifting

squat cleans, 265lbs.

fun facts

1. it being the school gym, if there's a lineup we have to limit our time on cardio machines to 20 minutes.
2. i LIKE the treadmill and jogging!
3. time flies by if you stop paying attention to the clock - i also employ this as best i can while at work

.

im not sure what a good heart rate would be for burning fat stores instead of the carbs/proteins.

canuck brian · 11-07-2008, 10:42 AM

I'm actually staying weight stable but my measurements around the spare tire are going down a little bit. I'm having a lot of issues getting to the gym lately.
