routine?
I follow an IF diet because it's just easy for me, and because eating drains my energy for some reason. I start eating at about 12-1 pm and stop eating untill about 7-8PM.
As for workouts: Mostly a Starting Strength routine, wich is basically bench press, squats, deadlifts, and power cleans 5x5. And supplemental leg raises to train the lower parts of the abs.
I still ate, Chips, cookies and junkfood atleast once a week, In the time frame of the picture I posted (and no cardio). I think I have a relatively low % bodyfat because of the IF diet.
I'm gonna start a cutting phase when it stops being cold. So no more junkfood and lots of cardio.

Anyone follow PHAT here? I'm aiming to hit 1000 total bench/squat/DL weight then focus a bit more on hypertrophy with PHAT (I'm following GSLP right now). Curious if anyone has any experience with it.

Campus gym doesn't have 2.5lb plates--my minimum increase on lifts has to be 10lbs now unless I lift with an uneven bar (I do this with OHP already). I see a plateau for my bench in the future.

also, I have no idea what PHAT or GSLP is.

Greyskull LP is a beginner/intermediate three day split routine that still focuses on strength, but includes some hypertrophy. It's basically Starting Strength with a few bells and whistles added in. I really like this routine since it's fairly easy to understand and follow, and it's given me results beyond what Starting Strength taught me because of the way you progress with lifts.

GSLP sounds more adaptable, except for the fact that I'm geographically limited to gyms most of the week(monday > thursday), so I'm currently working a really intense 2-split thursday to sunday.
your progress with GSLP has me curious, and I will try it once I'm done with school(april).

Once I'm over my cold I'm going to restart my regular cardio reg, and start getting ready for Boxing Camp this summer. I'm excited because I've always wanted to learn boxing.
Fitness thread - chrome - 2013-01-27
I propose a challenge to you all:
Take the USMC fitness test.
It's very simple:
- As many pull-/chin-ups as possible without letting go of the bar, no kipping (They must be strict pull-ups)
- As many crunches as possible in 2 minutes; arms crossing chest, elbows/arms must touch knees to count one rep
- Run 3 miles/5km
I plan on doing this today to count for my cardio. Will post results here once I'm done.
Scoring:
- 1 pull-up = 5 points, maximum of 100 points
- 1 crunch = 1 point, maximum of 100 points
- 18 minute time = 100 points, subtract 5 points for every additional 50 seconds.
- For most of you, 225 points is considered "1st class"
- 175 points = 2nd class
- 135 points = 3rd class
EDIT: My result:
- 20 chin-ups (+100)
- 60 crunches (+60)
- 3 miles in 19:31 (+85)
245 points

Starting Dr. Oz's 3 day detox today... pretty excited.
Haven't been very strict adhering to my regimen; I've been playing DC3 twice a week but it's hard to get myself to go running. Also, I don't know how they got there but my kitchen is full of cookies. After the Superbowl's over though the hubby promised to run with me once a week. Gah!

Those drinks sound, well, awful.
Popped over to /r/bodyweightfitness to begin what appears to be the simplest thing in the world:

Idiot-proof and scheduled is good. I can do idiot-proof and scheduled.

that diagram shows basic calisthenics.
a very, very good starting point, if a gym is out of the question.

Megh. The drinks are pretty filling but I find myself craving crackers or chips or something salty to balance out all the sweetness.
OR A STEAK.

A gym is... not preferable. I have no upper-body or core strength worth mentioning so I start with basics.
For the rows, am I risking damaging muscles by using something like a support column in my basement to pull on? So my grip would be vertical and centered in front of my chest rather than at shoulder width.
Fitness thread - Unauthorized Intruder - 2013-02-01
Hey, I've started diet for a month now. I've just read the articles about diet. It says I shouldn't eat below 1200 calories a day. When I looked up on a calorie table, I'm eating around 700 kilo-calories for lunch.
The number is too different, 700k and 1.2k. Does the article mean 1200 kilo-calorie a day or 1.2k and I still eat too much?
Further information, I do a one-hour running 3 times a week (up to 7 if opportunity arises).
I eat a sausage and a cotton of milk for breakfast but some day I don't because I wake up late
For dinner, it's a pack of Jícama, Syzygium or 4 oranges with orange juice.
Fitness thread - Imitazion - 2013-02-01
calories are, for short, called kcal(which is kilo calorie).
you shouldn't eat below 1200kcal/day, and your lunch is 700kcal.
Fitness thread - Unauthorized Intruder - 2013-02-01
well then it's dangerously low. Lucky I hadn't found out any later than this.
I'll eat more breakfast then.
Fitness thread - Imitazion - 2013-02-01
700 seems reasonable, even for every meal of the day.
Fitness thread - chrome - 2013-02-01
He's right, you shouldn't be eating less than 1200kcal a day bare minimum. Even then, 1200/day is enough to sustain a very tiny person who does very little every day.
On another note, I'm annoyed:
Deadlift: 5RM is 335, guessing my 1RM is 365~375
Squat: 5RM 295 (3 plates pls wat r u doin), 1RM ~335
Bench: 5RM 185, 1RM ~205 (AND I JUST RESET TO 165 BECAUSE I STALLED YEP CALLED THAT ONE)
OHP: 5RM 110, 1RM 125
I weigh ~180. I can squat and deadlift almost 2x my bodyweight.
Oh my god my numbers are so disproportional. My arms aren't particularly long so I shouldn't be that horrible at pushing weights, and even if they were I wouldn't want to blame it on that. Hell, my chest/shoulders are aesthetically well-proportioned compared to my lower body, but ironically they can't keep up in the gym--I should be able to do my projected 1RM as a 5RM for my bench and OHP. WAT DO
To add even more to the dilemma, I want to start lifting for aesthetics, which means I want a good strength base (I think I said earlier I want to hit 1000 DL/squat/bench first). But because I want to lift for aesthetics I don't want to eat at a huge surplus because I'll end up gaining fat, but if I don't eat at a surplus I won't gain strength, and if I don't gain strength I won't have a good base for aesthetics, etc.
