the un official workout thread

[gasfacevictm]

My opinion:

 

Either do Convict Conditioning or Starting Strength.

 

THIS.

 

Do some simple 5 x 5 shit for like 4-6 weeks and read different things while you are doing that to see what you want to move on to next.

 

Keep up those bodyweight exercises though.

[toluene_causes_tumors]

i'd say wait to hit the weights until you've mastered using your own bodyweight. don't forget stretching. convict conditioning which someone mentioned is good.

bodyweightculture.com and dragondoor.com have good info too.

and these workouts usually don't require any equipment which saves money and means you don't have to deal with all the kinds of bullshit that come along with using a gym. best workouts i ever had were outside, and i worked at a gym for 3 years.

[SystemFailure]

I'll tell you what a work out is. Shoveling the drive way with a fuckin Spade shovel because your actual snow shovel snapped when you were bum rushin with it, it hits a ice patch and you pole valt your fuckin groin into it.

 

Fuck

 

But yes, Convict Conditioning. My routine has been

 

20 push ups

20 leg raises

20 squats

50 jumping jacks

 

I cycle through this from top to bottom but the jumping jacks are being done in between each other exercise to keep up the heart rate. Cycle through until you've done 5 sets of each

 

This isn't going to make you ripped it's going to make you strong.

[RUSO]

I just smoke crank and workout for one 24 hour session and I'm done for the week.

 

that's genius!

[BELTOLEUM]

5 minute ab workout

 

-30 seconds crunches

-15 seconds side crunches

-15 seconds switch sides

-30 seconds reverse sit up

-30 seconds side, middle, side

-30 seconds cherries

-30 seconds wobbles

-15 seconds bicycle one leg(like 6 inches but with one leg)

-15 seconds switch legs

-30 seconds bicycle

-30 seconds plank

-30 seconds 6 inches

 

then after awhile you can increase 45 seconds or a 1

or just do two sets of 30

 

 

 

 

When I workout which is like once a week maybe i do:

all at home

(2) 5 minute ab workout

(4) 20 curls

(4) 20 hammer curls

(4) 20 forearm(behind the head)

(4) 25 pushups (about 3 months ago i used to be able to to 50 without stopping)

(4) 30 squats

calf raises, until it burns

forearms twists(?), until it burns

and two other things i don't know the name of or how to describe

Was this meant to help the guy asking for advice?

Ab isolation workouts are useless unless you are in single digit body fat and trying to enter competitions.

This guy is overweight and a beginner.

[BELTOLEUM]

Actually im really thin, and probably have under %15 body fat

thats just the shit i used to do in school...and when i was working

out and doing that every other day i began to notice it fast

 

Also what i was told is that it works out your whole abdominal region

instead of just your abs, but i never bothered to see if that was true

i just figured he knew what he was doing

[morton]

Hey now, I am not overweight. At least I do not think so, 5'11" 168 pounds is normal I think.

I was referring to morton being overweight.

5 x 5 for beginners works your entire body .

Why focus on just your midsection?

Isolation moves in the beginning is a waste of time.

My mistake.

You're not overweight.

[Mr. Incognito]

i warm up with ab isolation workouts almost every day, but it is definitely my least favorite part of my body to work out so i skip out on lazy days..

[morton]

I just swam a mile, straight with no breaks.

 

Was not really a goal I have just been increasing time and yardage in the pool gradually over the past 6 or 8 weeks. My goal is to get up to around 2000 yards per day and swim 6 days a week.

 

Been working through the "new blood" workouts in Convict Conditioning at a similar slow and steady pace, feel good. I work one day on two days off and usually combine the workouts with jogging around my apartment complex and use the stuff I find out there for bars to pull/push off of.

[gasfacevictm]

2000 yards is only 720 feet farther than a mile.

Hit that shit.

[morton]

 

quite funny video^

[gasfacevictm]

Those videos are great.

The one with the Crossfit dorks talking are hilarious.

So is the one with the powerlifter talking to the bodybuilder.

[Frate_Raper]

I work out on the regular, but have put on some extra winter weight after my fucking knee injury. So I;m back on the cardio grind.Was really fucking mad last night on my way to the gym,was listening to slayer and 100 demons on the elip, when I realized that I was giving'er pretty fucking hard so I checked my heart rate.......i was at 195 bpm. I dont check that often so I don't know if this was normal or not.....any of you regulars check your heart rates etc?

[gasfacevictm]

I don't really, but that's pretty high.

You doing long steady cardio or sprint intervals?

[KINGSHITOFFUCKMOUNTAIN]

No.

Caffeine doesn't make you piss any more than water does.

Myth busted.

 

actually caffeine is a diuretic - it suppresses the released of a hormone in your brain that causes you to retain water in your kidneys... knowledge son

 

 

like dude said though. drink water.

[gasfacevictm]

That blog has some interesting stuff on it.

I have been peeling through the articles for a few days.

 

Anybody got any tips on overhead squats that have worked for them?

[vanfullofretards]

Yeah, don't drop it. :D

 

 

 

I'm finished with chest exercises, my man boobs are big enough.

[gasfacevictm]

Chesticles.

[DSD666]

my workout plan use to go like this, do push ups, lift free weights, go to the bar, drink 8-20 beers, fight biggest man possible, get my ass beat, or win and not remember, repeat 3-4 times a week. military workouts are good. if you're motivated. best shape I was ever in, and never lifted a weight the first 6 months I was in. run, situps, pushups, pullups, mountain climbers, etc.

:lol::lol::lol:

sounds like the "fight club" work out.

[Qawee]

i did squats on monday for the first time in 6 months and now i cant move my legs

[DM!]

what do you guys think about the one hundred pushups thread? i think im gonna add it to my workout... it seems interesting

[vanfullofretards]

People over complicate exercising/working out like CRAZY!

 

 

It's simple.

 

The more work you put into it, the more you'll get out of it!

Seen my mum for first time in a year and a half recently. For a woman who once rode 100km in one day on a pushbike in her 50's, she's SLOWED down, a lot, like a fukn scary amount. Good motivation for new years resolution=some form of exercise every single day, rollerblading, bike ride, swim, surf, rock climb, callisthenics, whatever, just something that counts every day. No more partying too much and losing days in bed listening to drums in my head and drinking water.
