IC Stop Making Excuses and Let's Get Healthy Thread

[DarthRozay]

Lemmys gone nuts

Lol just don't go overboard bruh you still need fat to be healthy

 

[ShottaDaBeast]

Lol after counting im already at 1600 kcal

Why?

as Humans we currently consume way more than we need to survive. You can still build muscle while lowering your caloric intake. you just have to find your number of calories that your body needs to build muscle. once you find that then your body will metabolize food more efficiently

Thats what im talking about.

WE HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN OUR ACTIVITIES AND OUR CALORIES INTAKE AND QUALITY.

3000 calories might be good for a bodybuilder but not for me.

For my last semester I'm getting myself a bike. My new apartment is about 10 mins away (biking) from my main campus. I'm looking to take some pressure off my knees.

But man....I did not know bikes were so expensive. Walked into a store today and the cheapest entry level bike was $400 new, $250 used. Some of those road bikes are as much as $8,000. The store owner said his bike tires are $1,000 a pop. I got my 07 Toyota Corolla for about $6,000 some years back. Crazy man, I was budgeting like $100-$150 for a bike.

Try Craigslist. I bought a Trek for $170.00. I had it for 8 years or so.

i dont know what it is but lately both of my achilles have been sore as fuck walking down stairs is especially a bitch.. i think i noticed this around the time i went kayaking

Be careful, my Achilles were always hurting before the left one finally ruptured. Was out of commission for about 6 months and still not 100% 10 months later.

3. 50 Burpees in under 3:30 (got them in 3:53 a week ago)

4. 700 M Row in under _____? (going to test myself next time I hit the gym and come up with a number)

Workout at home. Not everything needs to be done in the gym.

Whats a super set

Two exercises back to back, usually but not always with opposing muscle groups.

e.g.,

Tricep move / Bicep move ( skull crushers, bicep curls )

Chest move / back move ( bench press, pendlay rows )

Quad move / hamstring move ( leg extensions, leg curls )

Weight is usually lighter and reps per set are usually longer ( 8-15 or so ) since it's likely you won't be going all out.

So nobody elses do 8 sets of 40-60 with the extra light weight (50 pounds) for toning

More reps if lighter weight...if its 30 or less ill go 120 reps per set

Or am i doing that wrong too

I don't know anyone personally who does that and I wouldn't do it but if you're liking the results you get from it, it works for you. Personally it sounds like a way to get a pump in the gym and for a few hours after but might not be the best way to see real gains that hold up if you try to diet any fat off. If you're already lean I can't call it.

For me it's easier to keep it simple with the bulk of my rep schemes for sets between 6-12 and let diet and a little cardio take care of the toning (as that in itself is a matter of shedding fat while keeping muscle). Keeping heavy-ish on the weights gives my muscles and strength a reason to stay even when I scale back on food.

Even when I do cardio type stuff with weights and timed rest intervals between sets I usually stick to 15-20 reps a set. On the rare occasion I go higher I'm usually just testing how many reps I can take a weight for the hell of it with other people.
