IC Stop Making Excuses and Let's Get Healthy Thread

[So ILL]

Nigga, I'm hungry as a motherfucker, not eating heavy after 7:30 is for the birds, nigga! Let me drink this water and lay down so I can wake up and smash lol.

 

[AP21]

man, the weirdest thing happened to me

so like, i havent gotten an allergy panel done or anything but when i used to drink whey isolate with milk or any form of it 2%, whole, skim, almond, silk, etc...it would eventually make my throat/chest feel like it was closing and i couldnt breathe so I stopped taking that as a supplement. Found some egg white protein powder and its ok. It doesnt have all the grams of protein that the whey does, but it suffices

So, on the weekends i have more time to cook breakfast in the morning and started putting the whey in my pancake/waffle mix. I fixed like 4 pancakes, 3 eggs (w/yolk), and like 4 strips of turkey bacon, and NOTHING happened. I kept waiting for the whey to do something to my throat/chest and nothing happened.

Anybody ever had something like that happen?

But another question, whats a typical day of eating for some of you? Im trying to get more calories in but im still struggling with that. I've never really counted, but I dont think im even getting like 1500.

Try counting your calories for a week. Just guessing, but I would say you are getting over 1500.

A good day for me is about like this

Breakfast Sandwich = 300 Cals

PNBJ = 450 Cals

Fruit= 100-150 Cals

Greek Yogurt = 200 Cals

Snack (Chicken/Veggies) 200 Cals

Dinner (Chicken/Veggies) 400 Cals

1700 Total Cals...I typically try to stay under 1900.

But like I said, that's a good day...Too bad I love Ice Cream. When I went from 260+ to 220, I was able to stay away from all of that bad shit I shouldn't have, but now I be like fuck it.

@ap21. You should download my fitness pal app. I don't think it's 100% accurate but you can log your food and it can get you a baseline.

Not really. It may get a little tight if it's not too strong. You may need to check your form. The movement isn't a squat, it's a hip hinge.

I started doing 1,000 swings a day and my back is doing great. I was deadlifting A LOT before I started this though so my core is rock solid.

Also make sure you warm up adequately.

If you are a beginner 100 is too much.

Its a STEP BY STEP PROCESS.

You have to let your body DIGEST these exercise. If not you will hurt yourself.

When done properly kettlebells are suppose to make your back and lower back stronger not the opposite.

What is your stretching level?

Can you touch your toes without rounding your back?

If not work your flexibility first by example...

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

Done 240 bottom up snatches

60 left but i need a pause

 

[ibestrokin]

@wall @LEMZWYN_LANISTER I don't stretch and its my lower back that is tightening up. All I could do wa 200 kb throws. In two different sessions. And ill make sure im doing correct form. And all I know is that I can bend over and touch my toes

You need to stretch and warm up my dude.

I start with foam rolling, then do a sort of dynamic warm up.

Foam roll

Forward leg swings

Lateral leg swings

Hip rotation

Supine bridge

Walking lunges

Quadruped Thoracic Rotation

Jump squats

Jump rope

My warm up usually takes right around 10 minutes.

Back on that ISO define...

might be a crazy question, but for those who do workouts on the treadmill, bike, and elliptical I normally just set the setting on manual and pick my time/incline level/speed settings, I guess I'm asking, does those other features/settings...cardio, fat burn and quick start matter? I know there's a reason they are listed on the panel.

I tried speaking to the lil workers at the gym about it, they didn't really know, then I tried googling something on it, and it mention heart rate for different settings, but do yall take into consideration/thought when choosing the setting when yall workout on those machines?

at this point now I'm trying to maintain and build my wind up more so...

 

[Mastery]

If you're just trying to build up your wind, the manual settings don't matter. Crank the speed up (add a slight incline if you want to amplify things) and get to running.

When I used to run on the treadmill I would run at a certain speed for 2 weeks, and increase it by .5 every 2 weeks. Had a nigga wind tight as fuck yo.

For example... 5.0, 2 weeks later 5.5, 2 weeks later 6.0, etc... I use to be able to run at 14.0 mph for 30 minutes straight with no problem but I WORKED for that shit.
