Workout Thread II

[mattsb84]

Are you training for something specific or just general fitness? Any thing keeping you active is good, but weight loss is going to be 90% diet. What steps are you taking to get that in check?

The worst I've seen was a bunch of dudes at 24 hour fitness taking a ridiculous amount of selfies.

 

The worst I've seen was a bunch of meatheads at XSport casually discussing steroids.  

Also, great YouTube channel that is essentially a parody (sort of) of meathead culture: BroScienceLife.  Hilarious.

BroScience is great.

I count my calories.

I'm having one of those days where it seems like maintaining a healthy lifestyle is hard. 

 

Wake up at 5 or 530 to bang out a quick workout before the kids wake up. By the time they're put to bed and  things are tidy, it's 9 PM. I know many don't adhere to it, but a good night's rest is essential to health. Plus, as far as I've read, working out an hour before bedtime isn't necessarily a good thing. Lunch would be a good time to squeeze in another workout. 

 

I'm just exhausted and complainy tonight.

Good squat today, I need to work out my abs more, its holding back my squat.

are you trying to get 2 workouts a day? How long is your morning workout?

[Elessar78]

15-30 minutes. HIIT style.

How do ur abs hold back your squat???

[Momma There Goes That Man]

15-30 minutes. HIIT style.

I think I'd probably just try to squeeze that morning routine out to 45min or an hour if possible rather than look for another workout in the evening.

[Elessar78]

closed the door to my office and banged out a quick workout

[PCS]

Pretty much what I do. If I feel like I want a second workout,(usually on light or cardio days),I just head out to the garage for a 3 or more rounds of Tabata. Done in 15-20 minutes.

After a small injury, I'm back on Stronglifts. Being a pretty skinny dude (6'4", 190lbs), I'm excited to see some results in a few months. I just hit 100lbs on my bench reps  which I'm really proud of, and eclipsed 200 lbs for my deadlift.

 

Will a clean diet + the stronglifts program eventually result in decent abs? Or should I be supplementing my program w/ an ab routine?

[Dr. Do Itch Big]

Back stability. Helps me stay up right without leaning.

[Momma There Goes That Man]

They say one of the best ways to avoid back problems is having a strong core/abs. Speaking from experience, I've always had abs and have played sports and lifted far more than anyone else in my family and they've all had back problems. Never bothered me

[Dr. Do Itch Big]

Today is back and shoulders, followed by bjj.
