^damn! in that case i'm glad to see you still posting, man.

today i snuck off to the gym at lunch and pounded my back, lats and biceps. had to walk back with my arms at full stretch so my bis don't cramp, i felt i could be close to it.
 
I've been eating mostly raw lately in order to detox any of that great-tasting-but-shit-for-me holiday food my mother prepared. Starting to feel skinny fat, so I'm going to get back into the body-weight stuff. Pushups, sit-ups, crunches, pullups (with my finger-tips on the door frame, as the land-lord doesn't allow drilling into the wall... :| )

50 push-ups (10x5)
100 sit-ups (25x4)
50 squats (25x2)

Gotta do this shit everyday. And increase reps every couple days. Hell, if it's free and takes like 15 minutes, whats the excuse not to do it?

do you think bodyweight exercises will build mass and help you not be skinnyfat???

Not looking to build mass right now. Last winter when I did a similar bodyweight routine and ate healthily I gained a little mass, but just generally toned up (ie shed more fat).

Oh, and I just shoveled the drive-way/sidewalk for an hour... 1 foot of snow, yipee.
 
cool...bodyweight stuff is great for conditioning and raising your metabolism...just make sure you are feeding the workout...a great time to drink fresh fruit juice is right before your bodyweight workout.

do you have a juicer Changed? You should look into one if not...it will change (;)) your life!
 
I don't; I thought about buying one but they are too expensive. I have a blender and was making smoothies w/ watermelon, banana, hemp protein powder, spinach, and greek yogurt, but I got sick of the taste.

anyway...
 
this one's from the jailhouse.

get a deck of cards and remove the nines and face cards (I guess you don't have to do this...). flip over the first card and do that many pushups. get up and run in place. flip over the next card and do that many pushups. get up and run in place. repeat until the deck is finished. It's 199 pushups. I just did it in the sun and got a good sweat going.

My personal hero, Jack Lalanne, has a pretty well known juicer.

But I've never really understood the point. Is there any reason that drinking an apple should be any healthier than eating one?

3 sets of barbell squats
3 sets weighted pulls/chins
4 sets tricep isolation

I have chronic LBP from past injuries and poor posture, I thank science every time I go to the gym that I am able to squat heavy without discomfort. It's so weird, random every day movements can cause my lower back to spasm painfully and give me a real feeling of weakness. For some reason though it doesn't affect my squats and my squats don't aggravate the area post-exercise. LBP is just about the worst donkey dick one can blow when it comes to injuries but in this case it doesn't bother me so much :)

Time to shower and eat wahoo
 
Get my body armor for my ribs so i can do everything but squats and dead lifts - will be lifting tomorrow. Get some #s up here. :) - now if i can just sleep lol.

Hey dude, I'm no orthopaedic surgeon but have you ever thought that maybe you don't get back pain because your body has adapted to the stimulus of barbell back squats?

When I was younger and used to compete in various stand-up martial art competitions I used get back pain. Then when I added in some brazilian jiu jitsu training the pain went away over time. Which was a really awesome fringe benefit. I put this down to strengthening my back in such a way that it had gotten stronger from random stimulus in a bunch of different directions.

You get the idea. Anyway it might help.

This is what I normally do everyday. I LOVE it!!! We have such a beautiful walk where I live, I never get sick of it.

But yesterday, I actually RAN!! I haven't done that since HS! It felt great!!!!
 
4 sets Bench Press
2 sets Hack Squat (just to increase the HGH response primarily)
3 sets of Shoulder Shrugs (supersetting 2 of these sets with 2 sets of bench press)
3 sets of Weighted Pushups
3 sets Arnold Press
3 sets Tricep Curls
2 sets Hammer Curl
2 sets of Bicep Curls
2 sets of Lateral Raise/Front Lateral

Completely worked out to failure today. What a great workout. Think I may have to quit the Creatine though as it gives me insane nausea now, which is a shame as its really effective at its job.
