I know that its a mix, its always a mix even if you've been working out for 5 hours. Im just saying the relative levels of what is being used. Some people can only do 15 min of cardio on a treadmill, when they get done their heart is thumping and they are gasping for breath, they definitely had an effect on something.…

Strength first. Use up your bodys glucose to fuel those lifts, get more gains. Then when your body has used the glucose go into fat burning mode with the cardio. Otherwise, youre using glucose to fuel cardio, id rather use fat, and fat to fuel lifts which is inefficient. Im not a biochemistry major but it makes sense.

Mcdonalds asian grilled chicken salad with italian dressing--310 calories ( I hate the sesame it comes with and is 30 calories more). Fruit parfait from there is about 140 calories, its likely loaded with sugar. Chik fil a chicken with buffalo sauce is surprising low calorie (they use peanut oil) then hit it up with a…

This is what I do: stretch/warmup 20 min. Strength/skills 15~1 hour. Hour long is typically a weight training session and I try to have a rest before the xbox. 15 min is like practice on cleans, snatches etc. Long Wods 45 min + I skip strength or anything else because 45+ of xfit is plenty. If I did a 7 min amrap I would…

I second that opinion

Nope. Im usually too tired and exhausted after 5 good hard days. By that time I hurt everywhere, and need the recuperation. I also catch a flick or something with the significant other and the next day feel like a new person.

This good. You could also simply "lunge" up a small box/cardio platform while keeping your weight on the midfoot or heel portion of the foot. A glute exercise machine can also work although I find these less effective.

Hello. I do xfit about 5x a week. This is what I do: I do not log any pure strength workout whatever calories I burn there are just bonus. I log the regular crossfit as calisthenics (yeah I know those 20 heavy cleans in the middle of a wod are probably more). I log metcon workouts (like full tilt about to puke 10 min or…

Nice stats bro!

Barely made it in: Deadlift 410 Bench 265 Squat 325 I suspect bench is higher ive only been training 3 months and havent maxed in a month. I just started 20 rep squat challenge aka breathing squats. Has anyone ever done that routine?

I still think your first post was rude but I apologize for my snippy remarks. I see your post on squat photos and see you going really low and even read about you doing pause squats! Nice!! Anyone that goes in and does squats like that is great by me. You have some good flexibility there. I did paise squats at the gym…

Now THAT was an interesting post. Thanks!

Yeah pictures sent to someone with a drinking problem would be bad! I never thought of it like that. I agree with you about in office stuff. Maybe the work deflects it.

Immune to cheesecake! I want your super powers.

Nice deflect bra. We can post it in the fitness forum :)

Yo dude you are rude. What is your deadlift weight? Mine is 410 lbs at 205, not awesome but decent. Just curious if you can double your weight in deadlift. Before you ask yes deadlift is THE exercise to gauge overall strength due to working so many muscle groups...not that I like it all that much. Don't post bench score…

I like my butt. It has to be at least decent. I see none of the "big" dudes at the gym that can lunge what I can even after a full squat workout. I have found nothing works your gluts like a lunge workout. I once had one of the big guys tell me I was doing lunges wrong because I was doing them in place (full motion knee to…

A dessert book..thats hilarious. If it was a low calorie dessert book then that would have been sweet. I dont mind going slightly over calories occasionally, say 1x a month maybe but im going to try to stay in bounds. 4 weeks this Monday in the zone!! I smell ribs in the crock pot for the 4th...I will not give in I will…

Yeah I hate it when I eat something now and I think it might.be ok and its high calories. I actually get mad now. Teeny tiny container of sweet walnuts at which wich yesterday was 200 cals...so not worth it.

Its fine! I still believe in you. Did you eat it all? You'll be fine, just make sure you also start your first day with a 5 mile run :)

This is beautiful. A woman finally understands!! Never before in the history of mankind has communication between the sexes taken such leaps and bounds, im actually crying now...so beautiful.

Men are never insensitive to their spouses, simply begin each serious conversation with..."I want to have sex...blah blah blah." You will have his complete attention. If not then he can turn his man card in with me. We will put.up a Conan poster written underneath: "Crush those Oreos, see them eaten before you, and hear…

I log mostly everything I eat. They are right that being very consistent is the most important thing. It does get faster as you are using it. I use a slighly different method. If im not quite sure of the calories of something I typically just look up "lasagna" find a fairly high.calorie one and log a single serving as 1.5.…

Good job!! We get free food at work all the time. I hate when its pizza. Last time I had a single slice too (hard right?). Thats good for me too cuz im the type to eat like 5 slices. Then headed to chik fil a for some chicken for protein. Chik fil a has surprising low calorie (if you do it right)food and thier buffalo…

Thanks thats a nice compliment. I had great funny people respond!

Uhhh Conan is quite ugly I think. It would be more so in a woman. He has a nice body though. When my kids were little they made me check out Conan book and read them stories. I love me some sci fi and fantasy. Strangely I always wanted to be the oriental kid that knew karate. Maybe you should get a job at medieval times?…

It was fun. Im going to add you.

You are highly.motivated to get it right!! Good job. I just usually overestimate food calories that I dont know likely to the detriment to my.next meal

Frozen cookies and pies would definitely help my self control.

Haha. Saddly I enjoyed this immensely....I dont know about weird al but someone should call.my wife and tell her I need a date.
