10phone2 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 one thing to consider is that you need to get your body use to a higher heart rate. I would guess mix in interval training to where you go balls to the wall for 3 minutes straight so you almost puke, don't stop, and go at a normal pace for 3 minutes. Alternate for 30 minutes and that should get your body to lower the hate rate for regular speed. Keep in mind, it's just an idea. For my cardio(I'm not training for bicycling), I alternate 4 days: day 1: endurance day 2: interval speed training mentioned above day 3: change of direction day 4: running hills/stairs/plyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Finally back into the gym. Had a pretty big health scare over the last month. Had a lymph node that was swollen up larger than a golf ball and not going down. Doctor was scared it was lymphoma, pathologist even thought lymphoma when he first viewed it through a microscope, luckily it was just a scare and I'm in good health. Now time to tear it up again. I decided to eat what I wanted so I can shock my body back into fat burning mode. Back to lifting hard and heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPL_Josh Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Took 5 months off from dl after a back strain from poor deadlift form with 600lbs. 2 took months off completely from lifting with a heavy school schedule. (Had to manage my A in organic chem) Didn't bulk last year like I normally do. Wanted to compete in the 198 class. Got down to 195 felt like a bitch being so small. Bulking to 225-230 and cutting back to 220 normal weight class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm at 264 from 310ish. Had to get refitted for my tux for Sean and Erica's wedding, and went down in size for pretty much everything. Happy with my progress, but still have a ways to go.

Aaron Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I started lifting, and today was the start of my third week. My goal is to start decreasing quantity of food asap, then after I can get that under my belt for 2 weeks straight, transition into healthier food. 1 month from now is my goal for eating healthy, less of it, and to continue working out.

Rally Pat Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Officially have lost 50 lbs as of this morning. Lots of naysayers along the way, and my progress has slowed a bit, but I still work out every day and I am still making progress. Kind of looking to take it to the next level, but I don't really know how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am planning on getting back to the Gym on Saturday after a few months of on and off. I hurt my hip and I have just not had the motivation to get back at it but I am ready now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Going to start making regular posts in here. I started working out 8 weeks ago, made it through 6 full weeks without missing a day. I then missed 2 weeks. I wasn't dieting, but the results from lifting alone were pretty good. I want to add Insanity to the arsenal of options, so when I get bored with lifting (like I did 2 weeks ago) I can start up with something else, and so on. I started dieting/calorie counting today as well. Through breakfast and lunch, I am at 870. Dinner is usually my biggest meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Back in 06 I lost almost 70 pounds by doing 80% cardio and 20% lifting. You HAVE to give yourself a day or 2 off during the week. Or you will get burnt out very fast. I ended up gaining it back by forgetting my eating habits, not working out, and being laid off for 5 months didn't help either. So I'm finally going back to the gym. Just make sure you give your body the rest it needs. I'm sure others will post about calorie counting, but make sure your eating enough protein. Don't drink your calories, and make every calorie worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I hit the 50 lbs lost mark, and seem to have plateaued, so I am looking for a "next step". I had been using things like Lean Cuisine to force portion control, but I want to get away from pre packaged and processed meals. I do a preset course on my elliptical every day, with the resistance cranked all the way up. Looking for help or suggestions. I don't feel comfortable joining a gym yet, but I think I need help with making more progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't clear, by not missing a day, I meant of the days I designated work out days, I made all my commitments. Thanks for the info.

Pat, I am not sure exactly what you are looking for/doing, but you can come work out at our little work out facility at our housing development with me if you want. My brother wrote me a work out plan (lifting) so we will have something to do. Other than that, we have an eliptical, 2 treadmills and a stationary bike. PM me if you want, if not, no biggie.

jeffro Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 What do you guys recommend eating/drinking right before cardio? Starting a running/jogging routine tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I finally got cleared to do upper body work again, after 7 weeks off. Stupid ACL surgery. I just have to wear my brace and I am good to go. Longest 7 weeks I've had in awhile. Only problem is that I have to wait atleast another 5 weeks to jog/run. I'm hoping to be ~20lbs lighter come spring time as well. I think I can manage that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Trying to cut down to 170. Currently hanging around 179-180 with top 4 abs poking out, trying to ditch the last of the lower back/stomach fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief2011647545501 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I signed up for the Arnold Pump and Run.

Aaron Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I under-ate for breakfast and lunch and ate a ton for dinner, but still sitting at 2500, which was my max I wanted to eat a day. I'll be working out around 730 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
