Weighed 180 lbs - 20 years old - cut .3% body fat / US Coast Guard boot camp - PRIME SHAPE workouts and running miles daily
At 61 years of age - 178 lbs / down from 228 lbs at my most highest point.
Bike = 2000 miles
Diet = water and smart only when I feel an urge to bring body "FELT" stamina up - to meet that spiked demand. Three or Ten bites of solid mixed protein and fiber - water and hydration - eating 2 meals at best per day.
If I tried to follow the old USA - formula of 3 meals per day - to kick off more sales for AG industries in the 20s - old post Depression era revival of "THREE MEALS PER DAY" which helped stimulate AG.
The pre advanced Vikings/Norwegians lived on two - research VIKING DIET). But they mixed all with SEAFOOD as their primary PROTEIN.
Fish - and beef or others (I'm a flat out Fish Prime Eater) = balance - strength and nutrition without the extra third BS meal per day.
Many days I roll 1 MEAL - I am not 20 and the burning candle within is consuming fuel - based on energy outputs, I'm not 20 and blowing and going at those levels.
Dialed the formulas down and hit the marks!
F - All the other's doing the diet and work out stuff till you drop stuff - do not dip down where your muscles are on decline ever. If the fat forms in skin - cut the BS OUT.
If the flab goes to bone - then follow the money grabbers - it may work? And stare at those who make the money grab - weight reduction formulas for success.
Starve - hit bottom and rebuild with INTELLIGENCE TILL YOU DIE
Make your own benchmark - the resources to find the right intake - it's everywhere with a trend - 1500 - 1900
Arms and back done! Right bicep was getting tender but didn't over do it.
Leave this evening for a wedding up in North Dakota the next few days so have to find some way to work out. Hotel gyms usually suck and running in 25 degrees doesn't sound to fun....
I’ve read most posts in this thread. Kind of embarrassing what I’ve been doing compared to the workouts y’all are knocking out.
That being said, my goal is 3 days a week, lose a little weight, but mostly improve my cardio. At times, doing simple tasks I’d catch myself short on breath.
Last nights work out. 15-20 second breaks in between each set.
1 mile run- 10:03
Each X3: 10 push ups, 10 lunges (each leg), arm curls w/ 25lbs, shoulder press w/ 25lbs,
15 leg throws.
A good gym day. Had to hump it a little so my wife could get to work a little early. Back and leg supersets 4X8
Sled leg press/t-bar row/ab roller
Super squat/weighted calf raise/BB row inverse grip
Leg extension/weighted pull up neutral grip/incline sit up
Bilateral leg press/v-bar pull down
Started my weight loss mid January and just now started working out over the last couple of months. Spent the early part of the year trying to heal my knee from a partially torn meniscus so didn't even chance working it in the gym. I started at 425 lbs in January and down to 352 lbs now. Still a very long ways to go but making progress everyday. My Cajun buddy moved back to the area 3 weeks ago and been hitting the gym hard with him. He has been keeping me in line working out. My knee pain is down drastically now and starting to see more positive results. Hopefully I can keep hitting the gym like I am right now, so that I can keep strengthening the muscles around the knee and keep the weight coming off. My goal is to be close to ideal weight for me by next deer season.
Skipped this morning. Stayed up late helping the wife make Thanksgiving dinner stuff for her office today. I'm pretty sure I cleaned every dish, pot and pan in the house at least 3 times. LOL!
X 5
100 jump rope
10 curls w/ 25lbs
