Evilpie's get off your lazy arse and get back to the gym diaries

[GreekStein]

I cant wait till you two are a couple. Gonna be so cute.

We'll invite you to tuna night.

I had the weekend off because to be honest my body was aching a lot more than I expected. There's no point going stupid and injuring myself so I had a lie in on Saturday morning and didn't train at all.

Yesterday I walked about 8 miles with the dog which is always nice and again didn't train.

All weekend the diet was good. I cut it down a little bit because of no training but I didn't have anything unhealthy at all.

So back on it this morning with a good chest session. Felt a bit stronger than last week which is to be expected. Didn't do anything heavy but I'm trying not to go silly because I could set myself back if I do that. Hopefully next week I'll be able to match Cos' 75kg. I certainly couldn't today

So it's still going very well and I'm still optimistic about sticking to it. The weekend will be a set back but it's a planned set back which I had organised before I got back in to training so not a major problem.

I find it a little com that I can lift more than you atm.

I find it 1000x as depressing knowing it takes you all of 3 weeks to piss all over 'Desmond' and 'Troy' the Greek Guns.

I went to Luton this weekend and had a fair bit to drink on saturday night followed by a macdonalds bagel and hash brown at 6am. Ate well when I got back home and did a little bit of bike work at home.

Back training today although my neck is killing from putting shieldsy on my shoulders in the club and then putting him down basically using only my neck. [  ] wp.

Do you include the bar in your 75kg?

If not it might take 4 or 5 weeks tbh. I did 40kg this morning + 20kg for the bar. This was after incline dumbells which I managed to get up to 25kgs each. Still a long way off the heady heights of 50kg that I used to do.

75kg = 27.5kg on either side of the bar. Bar obv = 20.

I fatigued very quickly doing this though. When I was training regularly a few months ago I would do 80kg bench and 30-35kg dumbbells on the chest press.

The other day when I did the 12 rep sets of 75 I could only do 20kg chest pressing as I felt pretty drained.

Hi gents,

I've been training for about 3 months after getting a bit fat when i started to sit on my arse for a living. It's going ok but i've plateaued a bit on the weight loss and the gut doesn't seem to be going down much. I can't be arsed with protein shakes, i don't want to get massive. I'm trying to cut down on the beer and some shit meals but it's hard because i'm lazy as fuck. I made up my routine on my own with the odd snipit from what people have suggested.

General diet is -

Toast and marmite, wholemal bread with olive oil spread. or a bowl or muesli.

During the moring at work i have Apple, banana, Orange and a low fat youghurt.

Then i go to gym

For lunch i usually have a sandwich, usually tuna or egg mayo but once or twice a week i have a spicy italian subway on honey oat.

i usually have a banana, orange and apple in the afternoon

In the evening i have whatever the missus makes, mostly daals and rice or currey and rice with yoghurt and salad, these are fully home prepared without ghee. Can also be anything from tortellini and sauce to egg and chips.

I drink water and tea all day.

What do you reckon to that?

My routine at the gym is -

Mon - Chest and triceps
Tue - Legs
Wed - off
Thurs - Back and Biceps
Friday - Shoulders
Weekend off, the days move about a bit but i try to keep that order

I play 5 a side twice a week, kickboxing twice a week (just started this) and everyday at the gym starts with 15 mins on the crosstrainer/bike or rowing (the devils cardio workout imo). How on earth does rowing burn half the calories of the crosstrainer? I fell like i might die after a hard 20 minute row but the equivalent on the crosstrainer is a relative breeze (random on level 15).

Generally what do you think? Anything i should definitlychange?

First off, stick to the rower, burns far more than a cross trainer, ignore what the display on the x trainer tells ya, they are too easy to workout hard.
secondly, drop the cardio + weights in the same session. Just do a dedicated cardio session a week, but make it varying in intensity to reap the most benefits.

What is your weights routine like? If it's all isolation stuff it wont burn the fat. Need to be doing compound lifts with heavy weights( heavy for you)
Diet is unbalanced for fat loss. looks like too many carbs and not enough protein.
People use protein shakes as it's sooo difficult to get the protein requirements needed. If you don't get enough protein the body eats the muscle as fuel instead of the fat

dont eat bowls they will rip ur bum hole open when u poo it out

[scotty2hatty]

Pretty sweet thread. Think I'll add my tuppence regarding something which is very loosely related.

I'm currently in the last week of a weight loss bet - ends next Monday - and obv looking to get down to the lowest weight possible. I've had some advice from Byronkincaid which is very useful. This isn't a healthy thing, just doing it for pure monetary gain and peer adulation.

I'm at 12st10 atm but am aiming to get down to 12st which I think I need to be to win the bet if my calculations/beliefs are correct.

Anyway, I don't want to not eat anything for 7 days - what can I eat for one "main" meal a day atm? Perhaps some grilled meat and veg?

Also, some help required for last day stuff - would a sauna help with a few pounds on the day?

Any help is appreciated.

This is a blatant 'I have a Jacuzzi' thread imo.

Yeah don't kill yourself but you can lose a good few pounds just sitting in a sauna for a while and doing some exercise to basically drain the sweat/water out of your system.

Don't do this too long before you are getting weighed, ideally just before obv so that you can drink straight after and instantly put those few extra pounds u just shed back on.

Ok cool, i hate the cardio bit anyway.

Mon - Chest and triceps
80 press ups
bench press with dumb bells - 4 sets of 10
Flyes - 3 sets of 10
One where you have shoulders on bench and lower the dumbell over your head - 2 sets of ten
Dips - 1 set of ten

Tue - Legs
Squats with weights - 4 sets
Leg extensions - 2 sets
The one where you pull your ankles to your arse - 2 sets
Calf raises - 4 sets with wieghts

Wed - off
Thurs - Back and Biceps
Curls -  3 sets of 10
Preacher curls - 1 set of 10
pulldowns - 3 sets of 01
deadlift (i think its called that) - 4 sets of ten (pure evil)
2 sets of some small of the back machine they have in the gym

Friday - Shoulders
Shrugs - 4 sets of 10
Seated press - 3 sets of 10
lateral raises - 2 sets of 10



I lift as heavy weights as i can on all excercises although i've leveled out a bit after the initial leaps up the weights. I don't know what compound and isolation excercises are?

Basically a compound exercise moves through more than one joint where an isolation exercise will move more.

For example, a bicep curl just moves your elbow so is an isolation exercise whereas a chest press will move your elbows and shoulders. This means that your are training more than one muscle at a time.

Looks like Vegaslover knows his stuff and that he agrees in the same training principles as myself so welcome to my little thread mate.

I agree with the cardio thing. Just do 10 minutes on the rower to warm up and that's it. If you're playing 5 a side and kick boxing you're getting more than enough.

I'll move on to your weights routine next post or this one might get a bit long.
