Y'all still been hitting the gym?

 

been a few times, no where near what I should be. Had some foot issues for a couple weeks that took me down.

 

Sprain?

 

Slowly gettin back. Had a nasty wipeout doin some freerunning. Actually blacked out after gettin a nice lil gash above my eye. Was going to vault over a low wall but slipped and went face first. No fun! Minor concussion, no hospital but ive been takin it easy. Took this after i finally stood up and cleaned most the blood

Doesnt look as bad as it felt but it was sore for a gooood while. Spring break is here though so every morning gym time! Then beach!

 

****, I know that bled pretty good. I head butted a dude in college and I got a tiny cut on the top of my head, and it poured blood all over my face and in my hair. Another time at work I was pipe wrenching and the wrench slipped and smacked me right on the brow bone. Hurt like a mother and bled like a stuck pig.

 

nah, I think I either dropped something on my foot, or had a pair of shoes tied too tight, it was like the nerves on the top outside of my foot were pinched, and so every time the foot flexed to walk it hurt. no bueno.

 

Yea it bled for so long i started gettin light headed and had to lay down at one point. Not the first time ive split my head though

 

Rough leg workout this week! They were sore for 4 days!!!

 

I've been doing wall sits to strengthen my legs for bouldering

 

Nice! Glad someone revive my thread!


I've been on the keto diet the last two weeks an its been awesome! Can't believe I waited this long to try it

 

Keto diet?...Details? I'm not familiar with it.

 

Is that like the Paleo thing?

 

Ehh I don't really know..

It basically the Atkins diet for people who are actually active.

It's a simple concept really. Cut carbs. Eat fat to burn fat instead of carbs. Sunday-Friday night, you eat no carb foods (breads, pastas, cereals, milk, etc.). Basically, try to keep carbs below 20g a day. Fiber doesn't count. This puts your body into ketosis, which is when you body has 0 glycogen stored and only has fat to burn for fuel.

Now, on Friday night up until Saturday at midnight is a carb load to replenish glycogen stores. Try to eat around 700-800g of carbs.
The rest of the week, you are eating only fats and protein.

1g of protein per pound of LEAN body weight. (This isn't your total weight). You take your body fat percent and multiply it by your weight. This gives you your lean mass.

I eat around 200g protein daily and around 180g of fat. This equates to around 2500 calories, which is over 500 less than my maintenance calories. This is around what you should aim for, for fat loss.

1g of protein is 4 calories, now multiply that by your lean mass. For me, it's 800 calories. Now, fat has 9 cals per gram. So, I take my 2500 calorie limit, subtract those 800, and that leaves me with 1700 remaining calories. Take the 1700 and divide by 9. This leaves me with 188g of fat that I'm allowed to eat per day. I eat things like whole eggs, bacon, peanut butter, almonds, salami, cheese, avocados, oils, ground beef, steak, chicken, pork.

It's an easy diet to follow, and will leave you feeling better, fuller, and more vascular.

 

Hmm i might have to try that out

Training for a half marathon so this might give me that physical boost i need!

 

You will need carbs for that training, or you will crash hard. If you arent used to it, keto will make you tired very quickly. It takes longer for your body to produce energy from fat rather than carbs

 

Well im not talkin dive in. But slowly tie that into my normal diet which is high carb to replenish my energy since i like to stay active

 

Carb cycling is pretty good too

 

Please explain novice here?

 

Couple days high carbs, couple days low carbs. Always kept me leaner and kept me from plateauing.

 

Off day today. Did triceps and abs yesterday.
Tomorrow's agenda, back and abs.
