I was curious as to who was still at their quest for physical greatness, who has recently started thier quest, where exactly you're at, and also where you are trying to get to.
Currently I am finishing up a 6 week bulk cycle that ends this Friday. 11-10-2006. I am tipping the scale at 238lbs, (as of 6:20am today) and am trying to get down to 10% body fat, and 225 solid lbs by April 2007. I'd also like to drop 10 lbs of fat by Thanksgiving this year. (16 days) :lol:
Here is my workout from last night...
Treadmill: 10 minutes of max incline (15*) at 4mph. (this was hell and I could barely walk thanks to my calves/shins burning so badly)
Flat bench: 10 reps of 225lbs no spotter.
Flat bench: 10 reps of 245lbs no spotter.
Shrug Rack: 30 reps of 385lbs (8 plates + rack weight)

This is where I'm at right now.
I haven't been to the gym in almost a year. I've been thinking about it real hard but thats all the motivation I can come up with at this time :o
I reach an all time high for my weight this morning of 187. Think the bulk up faze has ended. I hope

I'm just starting back up, I can only do certain thing because of my back problem. I have noticed with minor ab workouts it has helped to ease some of the pain, I'll keep it up and hope for the best.
Al your putting up some decent weight there, that is one hell of a schedule for a day. Congrats and keep up the hard work...

I'm 5-11 and 200-210lbs.Don't know all the %fat and all that.I work out mon.tue.thurs.and fri. but I will work out on off days if I miss.
all work out days I set my treadmill to a program which is 2,30min and it burns 300 calories and goes from 3*incline to 6*incline and speeds go from 3mph start and goes back and forth from 3.5 to 4 mph which is slow walks and to slow jog.
I don't work out legs I let the treadmill do that
I have a Weider pro power stack two station so I think it's pretty accurate
Mon.Thurs.

15 reps millitary press high pulley back and front pull downs 99,118,10-12reps 133,150
Workouts take me 1hr15 to 1hr30.I'm pretty faithful on the reps but sometimes I do more and sometimes less to give the muscles a shock.all days I do various abs(beer shows that I have to work more)and sometimes I mix it up with the different pulleys and my buddy has a water bag I have to pick up.

And for what it's worth, these are all free weights, not those cheater machine thing-a-ma-bobbers. :lol:

I am just going about 2-3 times a week, joined lifetime a couple months ago.
I ran a best of 7:08 mile last week, stated right at 8.5mph, 5* incline and ran it straight through.
I usually mix up machines & free weights, and have def gained some strength. I need to work on my abs now though, as I have some definition in my chest & arms, but my stomach is still kinda round. My legs are killing me today, as yesterday was legs/back. :mad:

I sat down on the row machine, grabbed the widest bar, set the weight to 200lbs, pulled a few reps, and realized how truly sore my chest and parts of my upper body really were.

My training is going great. I am holding steady at LOW 220's for my weight. I'm getting leaner and firmer, and my lats are getting WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE. :D
Legs are rock solid and I could probably kick a hole in a steal door. :lol:
I'm almost flipping sewer lids like quarters, so all is going well.
If I see more activity on this board, and more interest in Fitness/Health/Dieting, I will make a Health and Fitness subforum on this site for all of you to enjoy, consult, etc. It will be complete with links to good sites for health info, dieting info, training info, good deals on supplemets, etc.

Large cross on my right bicep
Crown of thorns around my right bicep.
All the work that goes around my biceps go all the way around the inside of the arms also. Talk about and interesting feeling. Imagine being scrathed by a cat, on the inside of your arm, for a few hours. Not so great. :lol:

Going good on the water only thing(no sugary drinks), but I still don't feel too well. My stomach hurts all the time, and it is bothersome if I am working and my stomach is killing me. Seems like once a week I will shit a river, and the rest of the time it is normal. I know that is more detail than anyone cares to hear, but this is a fitness/health thread.

Lifting and cardio. No magic pill. :(

12-28-2006, 01:23 PM
There are fat burner pills that do work, problem is that most(90%) of the people that take them DO NOT READ THE DIRECTIONS. They have to be taken in addition to your workout and diet routine. Most people think they can take them, stop doing cardio and lifting and eat fast food and the pills will do the rest. I just started taking a fat burner in addition to my excersise and diet program. I am doing my best to take them as directred and I will let you know if I have any success with them.
I wouldnt go too low on the low calorie diet though, try to stay at atleast 2000 calories a day if you are working out. I am no pro, but I have been reading up on this stuff and the more clean food you shove into your body the more your body will work and the fat will come off with that. You cant convert fat into muscle, you can lose fat and gain muscle. Biggest aid to doing that is cardio. You can lift all day long and be as big as an ox, but you will still look like a fat ass if you dont get rid of the fat. Nothing comes easy but once you start seeing results it will get you pumped.
I suggest you take measurments right now, around your hips, waste, arms, chest. Write them down and come back in a month and do it again. If you are strict with your diet and workout you will see some results, they may be small, but you will notice a change and it will get you pumped to go at it even harder.
OK, im off my soapbox.. peace out!

Nasty ass zits, huh? If I do it it will be a 10 week cycle, which will be 2 bottles of each. 2 of test, 2 of Deca or EQ.
Just the thought of how big, lean, and strong, I will be REALLY makes me want to do it. I'm kind of a genetic freak (from what others have told me) and I'm pretty damn sure my body would react very well to the gear.

I wont really notice any real results for 3-4 weeks I expect. I will keep you updated. Again, I did not sustitute any food for this pill, I simply added it.

Broken wrist in June? You're fine now. Get out there and push some weight. You'll recover. :D I keep hurting myself and I work through it and never see a doctor. :D
Supps? I have been off them for 6+ months but just started NO-Xplode this past week. I guess it works ok. to be honest I think my results from the shit are all in my head. Who knows.
I'm also taking Fish Oil for my joints.
Protien shakes, but I don't consider that a supp.
That's all.

Me personally, and im no expert, but would ditch the 17hd stuff. I would get your diet and workout in order and see what you can do on your own. YOu might be suprised. I would take it slow on your wrist. By taking it slow I mean, just use light weight and gradually move up as you feel comfortable. Go up in weight maybe 5lbs at a time and test the waters, as long as it feels good keep adding weight as long as you arent sacrificing form. What are your goals?
I know last month I scrwed up my neck doing shrugs, not sure how but I uess its very common. I went and seen a chiropractor that week and man am I glad I did. The pain was so bad I wasnt able to sleep and it killed my workouts for about a week. BUt thats all fixed now!!
Crazzy_Al
01-06-2007, 01:45 PM
I really think that if I go and see a chiropractor all my weights will go up. I am constantly in so much pain when I lift. Especially on my 700+ lb shrug days. :lol:
I am going to change and leave for the gym right now.

As for the diet, i haven't went back on it since Christmas, but i haven't gained anything back. I'm taking a break until the end of the month then starting back up. :o

So don't run. Set the incline high and speed walk. It's less of an impact on your body and you burn more calories that way too.
Also, walk through it. The pain will eventually go away. Seriously.

Well, starting tomorrow, my routine is going to change completely!
I have come to a plateau and it's really upsetting me. I'm VERY slowly getting leaner, I'm barely getting any bigger, and I'm slooooooowly getting stronger.
Gonna start using the eliptical machine again tomorrow. (no more treadmill) 45 mins in the AM on that, then INTENSE abs workouts after that, also in the AM sessions.
PM sessions are going to be HIGH weight LOW rep workouts. Probably the 5 x 5 routine. (5 sets, of 5 reps)
Diet is also going to need to change a bit. I have been slacking a little and that needs to stop. Spring will be here before I know it and if I keep this up I will be the same weak, fat, small, slob I am right now, come "shirts off" season. :(

I'm gonna unstick this thread for now...unless many of you are against that, then I can stick it back up. It will likely end up getting moved into the new fitness forum that's going up in the next few days.

I actually knocked my training down by about half and I feel I have made alot of progress. ive been reading alot about overtraining and what muscle groups require what to develop. Now when I lift I focus on certain movements and then hit the treadmill. I was kinda forced to do this with my wifes schedule. It was the best thing I could have done.

Mine is also looking pretty sick! Krissy told me a few weeks ago that my back is getting too big and that I need to stop training it. It's all bumpy and shit when flexed. :D I have been hitting my back REALLY hard since I changed gyms! :eek: My traps are starting to look like small hills when flexed. :cool: I was going to take a few shirtless pix and post them up, but I can't bring myself to do it. :o Shoulders...forget it. They look like cannonballs. :eek: Legs...I could stomp a hole in the sidewalk. :lol:

Just got it? I sent it when I got in my truck after the gym. :lol: 22 plates...x 20 reps. :lol: I was geeked. I think I could have done more. If I can get someone to push me next week, I am going to try for 30 reps of 22 plates. :eek:

Who am I kidding. There's no fucking way I can push 30 reps of over 1000 lbs. Forget I said anything about it.

Just ran on the treadmill, lifted a bit, and did push ups, sit ups, and lunges. I feel like I am about to throw up....So out of shape.
