PK's Bodyweight Workout Regimen

[Hyzer]

Good luck on your goals! Time to get my 8 hours. 2am-10am

[Patrick Kane]

PK, for lunges/squats, you go down slowly right... but then to go up, you explode with alot of force, correct? 'Cause when I did them going up slowly (like the girl in the .gif) i didn't really feel anything until I did them "explosively".

Btw, for weight loss, I know we need a calorie deficit.

So does that mean we can still eat things like burgers and fries as long as there is a deficit at the end of the day?

EDIT: Nevermind, you answered my question above.

[Baercheese]

If you're trying to gain weight, lots of PBJ sandys

But seriously, I'm doing the P90X Ab Ripper X tomorrow. Would be nice to have a bunch of people do it so we can talk about it after. It's a killer exercise! PM me for the file.

I usually do this, but no harm switching it up.

Those asking about calories, A calorie is a calorie.

With that being said, You get more benefit from healthier foods because most junk food is very calorie dense and doesn't give you the same satiety (feeling of being full) as something more healthy would be. For example: 200 calories of potato chips and 200 calories of chicken breast, the chicken breast has more satiety and obviously offers better value because it is lean and has lots of protein.

Eat what you want but use caution, like others in here have said...Overall you will definitely benefit more from eating healthier foods, but having some of your favorite snacks or cheat meals definitely keep you more 'sane'

People run in to problems like binges and falling off the wagon because they think of it as a 'diet' make it a lifestyle change, let yourself enjoy foods you love to eat but do it in moderation and be accountable for what you put in your body.

Cheers!

^^ Yup, I found that when I have some calories left over at the end of the day i'll fill it with my fav snacks like air popped popcorn (Which is actually not as calorie dense as you might think) and ice cream! It's just easier to fit in that way when it's 9pm and I still have 200+ cals to knock back....guilt free treats!

[Patrick Kane]

Haha nice man!

I had 4,000 calories today. Love bulking!
