Work is my workout bumping 20 tones a day in 25kg sacks lovely excersive I half 8.5 hours to do I sweat like there's no tommorow

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

worth it?

It made me sweat. It reminds me of college and my lack of co-ordination. There were a few dudes in the class. I would not recommend it for you....too ghey with the cha cha chas and clapping.

I would prefer to spin (RPM) but did not want to wait 30 min for that class.

Tonight: BodyAttack
THAT class is worth it. Tough shit.

^edit: funny we wrote these at the same time :D

oh i know how smokin PI is, but that's from a whole range of training. was just curious about bodystep. my gym has it too, and i wonder if it's worth the time. i saw a class of the martial arts inspired one (bodyattack or something) and it looked really lame. not a fan of shadowboxing, i'd rather just do those things on an actual bag and put some balls into it.

last night ran only 7kms. felt heavier, even though i ran before dinner this time. felt like the extra muscle i put on in the last couple of weeks have made a big difference.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

BodyAttack had zero martial arts
plenty of cardio
no equipment but the occasional mat

 

[L2R]

double checked my gym's timetable. correction, the one i saw is "bodycombat" and it's based on "karate, tai kwan do, kickboxing, muay thai and capoeira".

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

they have that here but there are punching bags involved
perhaps not for the entire class
check it out and report back please

started my first, actual, real, planned workout regimen.... that 5x5 starting strength shit.

feels good man.

 

[Matsuo Munefusa.]

are you doing 5x5 or starting strength (is 3x5)?

5x5 is wave loaded iirc (increase weight as sets go on) starting strength is sets across (3 sets of same weight)

it will pack on strength if your diet is good. I went from a 95lb squat (i was a little guy!) to a 335lb squat in two years.

 

[Changed]

I'm doing 5x5 with 5 more pounds every workout (same weight for all sets). I've heard the 3x5 is better, but I've always been skinny-fat so I figured the increase in reps might help burn fat while building muscle.

I've been eating 90% raw vegetarian for a couple weeks and I feel great and have noticed a good amount of fat loss. I'd like to prove those people wrong that say eating raw/veg doesn't provide enough protein to build muscle...

We'll see in 3 months.
