^ you may want to trade in those bacon cheeseburgers for lean, grilled chxn. Much healthier.

2/4/2010 7:53:39 AM

I think he's trying to gain weight. Chicken probably wouldn't give him the calories he wants without filling him up too much.

2/4/2010 8:35:27 AM

"another chicken"

2/4/2010 8:37:17 AM

where's he trying to gain weight by eating 3 bacon cheeseburgers? In his arteries?

2/4/2010 8:50:15 AM

Skinny people can have heart attacks too.

2/4/2010 8:56:52 AM

the man is a hard gainer, let him eat what he wants! he's still sub 10s BF

2/4/2010 10:19:23 AM

after 5 months of bulking, day 4 of cut month is halfway over

2/4/2010 10:24:42 AM

^^ Just saying that there are fats that are healthier for your heart. You can damage your heart even if you're skinny.

2/4/2010 10:40:28 AM

a little over 6 miles.

2/4/2010 11:07:19 AM

saturated fats are fine for us men, not in absurd amounts, but he's doing just fine, gotta boost those T levels

2/4/2010 11:19:58 AM

i'm eating a banana.



you're welcome, arteries

2/4/2010 11:30:59 AM

sorry boys, i was hungry.

getting to 4000 calories on nothing but chicken and rice gets old after awhile. i'm throwing the poor bird into the crockpot before class today. Is blood pressure a good measure of the damage I have done? What did you other hard gainers eat to gain weight (echo?)?

2/4/2010 11:32:32 AM

I wish I could eat 4,000 calories per day.

1,500 FTMFL

2/4/2010 11:35:33 AM

yesterday was:

standard warm up 200 free moderate 2:50, 50 kick 1:10, 100 IM 1:15, 50 easy x3 0:45

hand stand contest (underwater) I won.

we did the main set twice through and the 5x100 and the 25's 3x

main set: 1100 yards

5x100 on 1:30 with a descending target pace (1:25 +5 seconds rest, 1:20 +10, 1:15 +15, 1:10 +20, 1:05 +25)
200 free moderate/easy 3:00
4x 50 kick (1:00)
4x 25 free easy/fast (:30) :12 or so for the fast
4x 25 stroke easy/fast (:35) (ended up being back/fly)

150 yard cool down (out of time)

total yardage: 3550

2/4/2010 11:55:14 AM

^^

1500.....no wonder you advocate clean eating. I have not been truly hungry in 6 months. I lose weight under 3000.

2/4/2010 11:58:22 AM

Do you really need 1,500 for as active as you are? I eat more than that and I'm definitely not a marathon runner.

2/4/2010 12:03:40 PM

I wonder how much I actually need a day.

I venture to say I eat somewhere between 2000-2500 a day.

2/4/2010 12:09:02 PM

I'm cutting calories right now because I'm a little heavier than I want to be. My body fat is about 14% based on my last two measurements and I'd prefer for it to be right at 12% for my next big race.

After a marathon or a long training run, however, I eat whatever I want. It's pretty hard to accidentally eat more than 2,000 extra calories.

2/4/2010 12:11:23 PM

so far today...

1.5 cups oatmeal
9oz pork tenderloin
3 eggs
1 apple
5 big ass carrots

2/4/2010 1:54:28 PM

What is that 800 total. I DRANK that this morning.

2/4/2010 2:08:51 PM

whats an ass carrot?

2/4/2010 2:10:15 PM

ugh. gonna go take out frustration @ the gym after this damn test

2/4/2010 2:11:20 PM

^2 each carrot is roughly 1 "couric"

^3 1200 cals, halfway there

lucky!!!

Sometimes I wish I were a boy.

2/4/2010 2:19:56 PM

I hate carrots.

So far today I've had:

Turkey wrap w/about two servings of turkey in it.
Apple
Fiber one granola bar
Two cups of chex mix
Two and a half pieces of pizza

2/4/2010 3:03:58 PM

a half a piece of pizza? lololol

2/4/2010 3:10:19 PM

It was all that was left, my gf brought the pizza back from work yesterday so I nommed the leftovers.

2/4/2010 3:48:12 PM

did shoulders, back and abs last night

2/4/2010 4:11:49 PM

I got a cardio question,

Ive been trying to get my heart rate up, but cant seem to get it and sustain it above 140bpm for long. After about 5 minutes my leg muscles are just dead. Any advice?

Any advice?

2/4/2010 4:18:32 PM

keep going

2/4/2010 4:20:17 PM

2x PowerBars
16oz of skim milk
0.4lb Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat

2/4/2010 4:20:58 PM

AntecK7, what's your diet?

Quote :

"keep going"

Probably the best advice. Your legs will just adapt if you put them under the same duress. Longer duration for improvement, sir.

2/4/2010 4:23:20 PM

What kind of exercise are you doing?

2/4/2010 4:38:20 PM

Below the Belt w/ begonias tonight

then maybe a run after (if I can breathe... damn this cold )

2/4/2010 4:41:11 PM

The jury is still out on the matter if saturated fat is the culprit behind heart disease. Some of the latest research is beginning to point to sedentary lifestyle + processed carbs + obesity as the main culprits.

We evolved as humans on a diet extremely high in saturated fat, and it hasn't been until the introduction of refined/processed foods that heart disease is such a problem.

Also, look at the Inuit tribes. They eat almost nothing but meat and have better health rates.

##

To the dude who wants to keep his heart rate high...

Google the tabata method. You can use a variety of movements with this method, not just your legs.

Do a set of 10 one-arm dumbbell snatches, each arm. Start with maybe 1/8 your body weight and see how your heart feels.

WHAT THE FUCK

everyone who has claimed to want to go to the gym consistently (been trying to find a CONSISTENT partner) is a pussy and bails all the time.

6/7 days of the week isn't difficult.

Spring Break a Sweat alone tonight I guess

2/4/2010 4:44:59 PM

Filled the tub full of oreos and took a cookie bath.

2/4/2010 4:46:35 PM

Shameless self-promotion ... I just started a blog to help myself find motivation as I train to qualify for the Boston Marathon (in 2011). Does anyone else have a fitness blog? If so, I'd love to follow you.

http://thecowchaser.blogspot.com/

2/4/2010 5:50:52 PM

oh nice lucy! i'll follw you on my Google Reader. i like hearing other people's stories of motivation.

i've actually debated recently about creating a work out blog. mostly because i've found my love of running again and have been working out more hardcore than before.

yesterday: ran lake johnson.....it was a bit icy in some spots but it was nice out.
today: treadmill for 30 minutes; 100 lunges, 40 squats, and abs

2/4/2010 6:18:29 PM

Cass, you should definitely do a blog. I love reading fitness/running blogs bc that's where I get some of my best ideas for training, motivation, new products, discounts, races and other awesome fitness-related topics.

That's why I love this thread, but with blogs you can share more information.

2/4/2010 8:18:35 PM

90 minutes of raquetball, 3mi on treadmill afterwards.

I'm beat!

2/4/2010 8:21:48 PM

I <3 racquetball

Swam 750m at the pool. Would've loved to go longer but it was my first time in the pool in a few months so I'm taking it easy.

Need to run long tomorrow to keep on my 1,000 mile pace for the year. Almost at my first 100.
