Getting back on the wagon

feeds@yuku.com (Duela) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:22:53 GMT

I know a lot of us start and stop our workout plans as life gets in the way. I personally always dread the "starting over" as I am intimately familiar with the 2-3 days of "ouch-ouch" that's bound to come with my inevitable gung-ho overdoing it the first few days. In an effort to avoid that this go-round, I come before my fellow heroes and ask for help. What advice can you give me for getting back into a regular workout routine after being on the road for the last 3...

Oh my achin' back!

Heroes and Heroines,
I need some guidelines and motivation to start strengthening my back again, I broke it in 3 places March 30, and I really want to get back to having a good, strong back.
Let's hear it...good or bad.

Hey guys. I've been wanting to get a lot more serious about my weight lifting for a little while now, and I'm looking for people who live in the Atlanta area that wouldn;t mind another person to train with. So any of you who lift and live in the Atlanta area, please give me a shout.

What to do about nutrition?

feeds@yuku.com (sabremonkey) — Sat, 23 May 2009 20:56:15 GMT

So here I go. I have completed a round of P90x. I did not achieve the results that I desired do to nutrition. At first I ate way too few calories and sent my body into fat storage mode. Long story short I screwed up. I know how many calories I should be eating now but am having a hard time coming up with recipes. I was thinking of an online meal planner but not sure. If anyone has some advice I would be appreciative. I'm going to start again on Monday and hopefully I can make the...

A new start.... Starting all over again is going to be hard, but I'm going to make it.... P90X Style

feeds@yuku.com (Padawan Learner Kenobi) — Mon, 18 May 2009 23:49:18 GMT

So, here's my third fitness thread. The previous threads have been about getting in shape with weights, and those workouts have served me well. But I'm one, like Arnold, to think that doing the same old routine (despite it not being the "same old routine" over and over again) doesn't cut it.

So, I ordered, and started today Tony Horton's P90X workout.... and it totally kicked my butt, in a good way. I found to to be challenging, but easy to stick with.......

Chest workout

feeds@yuku.com (MikeydeeBee) — Thu, 07 May 2009 09:00:05 GMT

So today I did probably the best chest workout I've done in awhile.

I did one major move, with 1 small move.
So some form of a bench press. My bench has a decline, flat, and 3 different incline variations. I then did flyes.
Here is how I went about my exercise.

Bare barbell - 7 reps per angle
Decline/Flat/Incline1/Incline2/Incline3
15lb Decline Fly - 10 reps

20lbs - 7 reps per angle
Decline/Flat/Incline1/Incline2/Incline3

Starting over: From Matt to Bat

feeds@yuku.com (mspauld) — Tue, 05 May 2009 07:05:00 GMT

So, I've got most of the pieces for a Batman costume, and some other heroes in mind as well. The one problem: I've spent most of my life in love with food and not so much in love with exercise. And, let's face it, no one wants to see a fat superhero. So, lately, I've set my mind to getting in shape, not only to be a hero, but to feel better about myself and live a healthier life overall. I've done weightlifting in the past, but I've just gotten back into it and it...

P!ssed about "Online Gurus"

feeds@yuku.com (MikeydeeBee) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:30:10 GMT

So there is this guy I used to be subscribed to. He would release muscle building mass e-mails every few weeks. Most of it was already well known knowledge while some of it was very helpful. Best part was that if I had a question, the guy would actually reply promptly. Well, yesterday I got an e-mail saying "The SECRET IS OUT!" Now I always laugh whenever I see anything fitness related saying "the secret is out" or "I hold the secret"...pretty much anything using...

feeds@yuku.com (Fran) — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:17:39 GMT

So um... help?

Thanks, Fran

I no longer want to use my WHEY Protein supplement. What are other ways I can get good amounts of protein?

I no longer want to use my WHEY Protein supplement. What are other ways I can get good amounts of protein?

I'd rather just eat the right stuff than use the supplements. I did some reading up on the ingredients in the supplement I was using and well, call me paranoid but I just feel safer this way. Any suggestions?

I am open to using WHEY for it's protein. I think it's awesome, but I don't want 50...

today was my first day of lifting weights for bulking up

feeds@yuku.com (MikeydeeBee) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:41:55 GMT

today was my first day of lifting weights for bulking up. I'm following the guidelines set forth in the book entitled "Scrawny to Brawny"

Today's weight lifting started off with a drink 15 minutes before the first weight is lifted.

Drink ingredients

Carbs=0.8g per every kilogram of body weight
Pro=0.4g per every kilogram of body weight
Fat=0g
BCAA=3g to 5g
Glutamine= 3g
Phenylalanine= 3g

So I downed that,...

A new beginning. My exercise progress. Updated May 15th 2009

feeds@yuku.com (CreativeGuy725) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:25:03 GMT

Well I've started the 100 push up and 200 sit up programs. I'm also doing a 100 dip program of my own that I'm making up as I go, but I'm keeping track of it in a similar manner as the programs mentioned earlier. I've also had my first glass of Chocolate Whey today. It isn't bad but it isn't wonderful either. It'll take some getting used to. Here is what I did today. I know it might not look like much but the programs are a progression over a period of 6...
