Diet and Workout Routines

[SixPACK]

Haha, no. I graduated a couple years back. In the stupid workforce.

If someone wants a quick 30min. workout you can do at your house (if you happened to miss yours, don't feel like going to the gym)

Squats - 60sec
Jump Squats - 60sec
Push-ups - 60sec
Plank - 60sec
Burpees - 60sec
Rest - 60sec
Repeat 5x

I ended up doing a different kind of push-up every time, and added raised knees (put my arms behind my head and touched opposite elbow to knee) for a 3 count and then burpee, repeat..For only a 30min workout, I felt it, in my shoulders, slightly chest (over 100 nose to floor push-ups), tri's and huge in the abs. I would recommend it for anyone traveling or want to get a quick pump in before you go out.

Anyone recommend some simple core exercises I can do? As you know I had multiple surgeries that resulted in my entire midsection being opened up to clean out all the bullet fragments ... I have zero strength there...cant even do a situp. Need to strengthen ASAP.

Planks and core rows come to mind

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

Planks would be my first choice too


Bought some new clothes today..medium shirts and 33/32in waist pants, feels fucking great

Re: pre-workout powder....I got two cans of C4 shipped via groupon for like $38. Good for me, because I can't stand going into supplement shops hearing dudes spit out whatever the Twinlab, etc rep told them to say.

Also, a great way to hit your core is to do short (40-100m) sprints, with full recoveries in between. Your abs contract a ton of times, during a full-out sprint; just remember, to keep the distance short so you can get those tight abz.

Another GREAT core movement is the hollow rock; if you can do ten in a row your first time, without saying F this, it is quite an accomplishment!
Remember:
-rounded back
-tight cheeks
-toes pointed down
-keep the whole body tight and compressed
-rock mo fo!

It looks a bit simple, but it will ruin you lol.

This dude on reddit claims to run 8km a day and lift for 2.5hrs a day, six days a week completely natural with not so much as a protein shake..all while being 41 years old. I called him on his bullshit and instead of showing me his routine that takes so long and is physically doable after running 8km and working a job, he just insults me and claims i have no idea what im talking about and that i dont lift... some people :thumbdown

"Bro, do you even lift?"

Sounds like an asshole. And probably is one.
I knew a guy who was an EMT/Firefighter (so he's obviously in shape)-- he did these insane workouts and tried out for American Ninja. I asked him what he drank (protein before/after). He assured me that he didn't partake in protein shakes, but instead would eat an insane amount of sushi.

People have their own "swear by it" routines (eating and workout). I need a protein shake after, but not before.

dat intermittent fasting. You can totally tell the hormone differences when the fasting window ends and feeding starts. After i smash my lunch usually 800-1000 cals, im in a completely different mood within ~5mins.. its pretty wild. Some times it feels like a high and other times it makes me just wanna nap for an hour if i eat too much (like 1400 cals). Its like flicking a light switch, night a day difference...freaky.

My buddy and i are gonna get our BF% tested at our gym next week, see how accurate my scale is. Gonna set up progress picture compilation next week too. 2+ months of cutting will be in the books

welcome to reddit.

incredibly useful in some applications, but by and large full of immature idiots.

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

I believe you have hit the nail on the head. When i meet redditors IRL they usually end up being idiots in some capacity.. makes me wonder if im an idiot :gap:

Finals time..my diet and gym time are suffering immensely because of it

Why? Dont eat shitty food and spend the other 23 hours of the day studying

plus itll help keep your mind right with all the added stress going on

Wait, you've met reddit users in real life? How/where does this happen?
How many have you met?
What are they like?
Is there a reddit meet up?
Are there Bronies there?
