Tortorella's Rant Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 lmao I dunno. I think I hit my peak strength wise. That or I am not eating enough like before to continue to press the same weight consistently. 120s incline for weeks straight 5x5; then the other day struggled for a single set.

Sean Monahan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Took three weeks off the gym, in which time 90% of my diet consisted of McDouble’s, ice cream, and Little Caesar’s hot and ready pizzas. I lost 9 pounds. And people say losing weight is hard... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just really busy with coaching and school and organizing a fundraiser. Had some late nights at baseball, getting home in the wee hours of the night on Sundays after being away for the weekend. It definitely ruined the rhythm and I’m happier being back in it but it was kind of nice to be a fatty for a few weeks. That said, by the end of it I felt like crap. I can’t imagine how people do that all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksPatsFan Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It’s crazy how much I am being humbled by adding CrossFit in twice week. The technique involved, especially with snatches, is still hard for me to grasp given the movement patterns ingrained in me for years of bodybuilding style lifting. 115 lbs snatch is like a 1 rep max for me which is super humbling considering a 5’3 girl with perfect technique snatched 200 beside me lol. But it it’s good to have goals to reach for again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've stuck to my running since being a bit slow at the SunRun. I'm doing 5k in 25mins then relaxing for another 15 mins or so. I will get a 10k under 50mins....one day. I have also stuck to staying away from beer and replaced it with vodka soda with a splash'o cran. I am looking lean and mean. Still 2 days a week in the gym for strength training. Still kicking and punching for fun. I met a guy in my building that is a pro mma fighter ( though not very many fights yet) he's also a Jiu Jitsu coach at a local MMA gym. I've always wanted to do more grappling and I am excited that I might get off my duff and experience some high level teaching. I hope I follow through on that...I plan to move from the city in a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been something I’ve been considering for over a year but this year right from the hip has been bad - elbow is mangled, however it is healing slowly.

I have a 'poppy' hip, I think from lots of kicking in my day. It does give me some issues now and again but I try to be patient with it. I'm getting on too, Just turned 45. Maybe kick boxing isn't for you but you never know. Though you can start JJ at anytime. I know guy that started at 54, has been doing it for a couple years and even goes in tournys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a change for your body in which it didn't know what to do, so it burned it off, or did you eat that enticing food at certain parts of the day, giving your body an opportunity to burn it off? What's the your secret? I'd love to go to Mc'ds and Little Caesars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Biking everyday to and from work (13km and 40 min each way). Freaking tired. Feel it in my legs/thighs. Too tired to do my regular weights/workout. Hoping it gets better so I can get back at the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine I was still in a caloric deficit despite eating so much crap. I just don’t have a very big appetite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) I think the secret to losing weight is..... Cut back on carbs Cut back on sugar Replace wine with vodka Only beer allowed is Guiness Smart smoking but only when drunk Listen to Electronica or Acid House instead of pop/country/jazz/rock Do 10 pushups everytime you want to open the fridge ( put a 10 sign on the fridge door ) That is the diet that i have been on. Lost 20 pounds over the last 2 months... and its SUPER fun...... Edited May 24, 2019 by kingofsurrey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is called paying the toll. I do push ups and sit ups before every shower each morning. ...wait a minute, I was sure there was another element to your fitness guide?
