havent seen that gif in forever

lets keep this thread interesting. whats everyone doing for workouts and diet and game plan for the up coming months.

day 2:
workout: 40mins weights, 30mins cardio, walked to grab lunch instead of driving, took the stairs instead of the elevator.
diet: cut out the sugar(no snacking), no liquid calories(no fancy coffee drinks, just black), breakfast lunch and dinner i eat whatever i want, not really tracking calories yet.
game plan: cut weight training time down to 30mins of heavy sets, start kick boxing again for cardio, followed by some sauna time. start intermittent fasting at the end of summer, cut down eating window and track calories end of fall.

I started off easy, yesterday did a "workout" wrestling parts into the Grand Cherokee, set the alarm a little earlier to fit in 10 min of yoga before work, ditched the carby snacks and cut off everything but water at 9pm. I'm aiming to keep bumping it earlier to try and fit in some kind of morning workout as well.

Last year I almost signed up for a personal trainer at Bonsor and the form said that if I was over 45 that I needed a doctor's approval before starting so I went to the doc for that but I also watched a tonne of content on Youtube about the risks/precautions for men over 40 and learned a lot about what's realistic about weight training when you're older (like it's way harder). Stay safe folks!

68style 07-26-2024 07:05 AM

Did you ask the doctor about the risks of a particularly rowdy sidepiece past 45? :ifyouknow:

Worse ways to go I suppose

My manager called me at 10:19PM and be like "Jacky, time to lace up!"

And Imma like, but I am watching anime on my cmpt though... he is like... that's not how you lose weight....all I did was jogged for like 2.8KM according to Google Maps lawl.... and told my manager "there are easier ways to kill me, pls no" My manager is a trooper though, he works out like every other day, and is crazy, he will either run or hit the gym, and he chooses "what his body doesn't want to do", because he said if he body rejects it, it means it needs it.

My work has been "very supportive", people heard I was gonna diet and was offered in the last 24 hours

If I'm doing to die hot and sweaty at 45 I sure as heck ain't picking the one with some dude yelling at me.

68style 07-26-2024 08:48 AM

You might decide you like an audience by that point ?

Progress: Went to gym at my condo last night at 10pm (closes at 11pm), this bro guy I rent a parking spot from was there and loves talking to me, wasted 20 minutes of my time telling me climate change isn't real and that the federal government planned for Jasper to burn down to further their initiatives. Managed to get away from him and do 30 minutes of workout and 10 minutes stretching. Walked 3km this morning before work.

Diet: No snacks.

the crazy thing about these people is no matter how much disinterest you show on your face and body language they still keep yapping. i used to work with a really nice serbian guy but he was a total truther and he would just talk his head off about such random shit. i would not entertain him for too long but i always let him talk a bit cause he's a good dude. after just like 2 mins of him going off the deep end in every conversation i would literally stop looking at him and my body would be mostly turned away, and just lose all interest in my face and the guy would still yap for another 5 minutes.

Because most people like that have some form of asbergers or autism where they don’t pick up on social ques

68style 07-26-2024 09:55 AM

Same thing here, dude is a nice guy I even considered him like a "friend" for all intents and purposes... he's helping me move my motorcycle with his pickup truck... but he just can't help himself, it's either politics or BTC... I don't even make eye contact and try to keep doing my reps but he just can't take a hint.

The weirdest thing about it is that he literally used to be friends with Trudeau, like they hung out together and like... 1.5 years ago he was telling me he's such a good dude, doesn't like his policies sometimes but caring and charismatic guy. Fast forward to today and umpteen hours of right wing conservative podcasts ingested, he literally told me yesterday he can't wait for the Cons to get in power and that Trudeau will go to jail soon after for all the crimes he's committed. That did make me laugh, none of these guys ever go to jail no matter what they do lol

Excuse me! Some of us are just assholes okay. I can’t blame my shitty attitude on autism. Although I’m 99% sure I’m also retarded.

This has been the bane of my existence at gyms.

I always feel like after about 3 years I need to change gyms. I workout with my earphones on, intense look on my face, but I still get bros that interrupt me to shoot the shit. I don't mind, but do it after my workout, and not while I'm in my zone.

Eventually you get to know all the regulars that show up at the same time as you, and I end up spending 20-30 minutes within my workout talking bullshit. Some guys treat the gym as their nightly bar hang to socialize, a workout that should've taken 1.5 hours ends up taking 2. It's even worse when it's the conspiracy theory, flat earth, bromasters.

On the note of weight loss, I think most people would be surprised how much walking, even a few KMs a day can make a huge difference. Even incorporating some walking multiple days within the week will yield results (in addition to diet).

You don't need to think you have to be that person with a pool of sweat doing HIIT on the treadmill/stair-master to be effective.

Work out with those over-the-ear chunky headphones that Gen-Z loves wearing so much. If he tries to talk to you just lift one ear and go "huh?" oh sorry I couldn't hear you can you say it again. Do that a couple moretimes and he'll probably just give up

CivicBlues 07-26-2024 12:55 PM

Not a scientist at all, but this video makes sense. Worth a watch. The channel is fantastic too:

Lock this thread. Shut Revscene down. dark0821 - You have FAILED humanity! Good bye! :accepted:

I'm 5'10, 175. Goal weight is 175, but I need to cut about 10-15# of fat from that and bring it back as muscle.
Cardio I'm pretty good. Need to figure out diet and core workouts mostly at this point.
Food wise I do pretty well. Tons of fresh veggies, but have to cut back on fried food and beer.
I'll see if I can get a body fat % as a baseline and go from there.

During my last cut, walking an 60-90 around central park to burn an extra 300-500 calories a day made cutting so much easier. Especially walking between 12 to 2PM.
