Fitness, fitness, and more fitness!

NOTE: Both these videos feature shirtless guys, so I am only posting the links and I am not embedding the videos.

Landmine press is a very intense workout for the shoulders, with minimal stress on the joints, unlike the overhead barbell press. It is very easy to set up, because all you need is a barbell with some plates. Check out the video explaining the workout.

French press with the dumbbell variation, is a triceps workout. This is Scott Herman explaining how to do the French press, BUT, he is shirtless. Hence, I am only posting the link.

I just get the six star protein mix at wal-mart. It only comes in chocolate or vanilla.

I like the vanilla.

What kind do you like?

Dude it's okay to post a video of a shirtless guy. I have a poster of one hanging in my room. In fact, he's almost naked, wearing nothing more than a towel around his waist. His name is Jesus and he's hanging on a cross. Now if you posted a video of a shirtless women, that is not allowed.

Currently obese and losing. I used to weigh upwards of 400 lbs, and am slowly nearing 300.

For now, I largely rely on calorie restriction to do so. Living conditions at present remove any significant affect over my diet, so I rely on whatever foods are available to me. Ideally, my preferred diet would primarily be ruminant meats (beef primarily), dairy, fruit, eggs and underground vegetables (primarily carrots and potatoes). What control I do have for now, however, is largely used in restricting intake of margarine and other seed or vegetable oils. I also try to maintain an adequate sugar and salt intake.

Since I'm working on weight loss primarily, I consume a rough intake of 1500 calories a day while remaining somewhat sedentary. I plan on adding calisthenics into my routine once I have lost a bit more weight. I don't want to risk doing any serious damage to my joints, after all. I do walk a bit, but the distance is insignificant.

In either case, my priority right now is the weight loss, and with that, I am proceeding as planned and am quite happy with that.

Wow! Congrats on the weight loss! I'm on the heavy side too and I highly recommend getting some good running shoes and insoles if you haven't already, even if you just plan on walking in them. A pair of good running shoes can make a huge difference and its better for your knees too. I always buy Asics.

Just got home from the gym. Jogged 2.8 miles in 54 minutes (I know its slow, but its faster than what I did three days ago), and did 75 crunches. I wanted to do more but it was already 1:20am and I wanted to go homey. My legs are probably going to hate me tomorrow..

Way to go zero!

Thanks Hellooo.

Interesting! ..I've been very curious about mine because I'm the same weight range numerically, but my clothes have definitely become baggy (to where I've been taking some of my work clothes to be altered, so exciting). I'm going to look into a good body fat scale for my home

Thank you!

My current circumstances do not allow me the luxury of new shoes, I'm afraid. I'm already limited in what foods I have access too, because I have no say in the matter.

That said, I actually find myself barefoot more often than not. it does wonders for the smaller muscles of the foot.

You're killing it...great job!

Most of our modern food doesn't have the nutrition it should have as the soil is depleted. The reason why most athletes die at a younger age than couch potatoes (63 compared to 75.7) is because athletes throughout their lives sweat all their minerals our of their system and never replenish it with new minerals. Coloidal ones are the best. Most people who adhere to an organic life style often also die still too young as the soil is often not build up and still depleted. So the key is to have good exercise and good supplements as now we need nine apples a day to keep the doctor away as the Vitamin C levels have dropped as well. Joel Wallach MD was a VET treating animals for 20 yrs before he became an MD and he treats his patients the same as he treated his animals with great success as we are all build from the same components. he wrote the book:" Dead doctors don't lie" So good. 80% of a healthy life style comes down to the right food and 20% is exercise. Cutting out carbs (grains) especially wheat which has been gene spliced in the 60teee and added with gliadin, an opiate protein that switches on the opiate receptors in our brains that makes us to eat more. But a slice of bread has a higher glycemic index than a table spoon of sugar (72 compared to 59) so that's why so many loose so much weight cutting out grains. Check out Cereal Killers, awesome doco. We have friends who reversed their cancers, Paul reversed his lymphona now 18 yrs ago and Melinda her leukemia last year in three weeks with chlorine dioxide or MMS. My wife reversed her cancer jut last year May after a year battling naturally and then finally finding out through a CTC (circulation tumour cell) blood test in Greece, that her Melatonin levels were impaired and DNA damaged. I suspected domestic radiation exposure, got myself trained up as a Domestic Radiation protection specialist (doctors know that Tamoxifen doesn't work properly (a breast cancer chemo) when exposed to radiation (wiring in the walls or wirless man made radiation) and within 2,5 weeks her back closed up completely after putting shielding in place as we had been fighting and pulling out almost one hundred tumors out of her back with black salve. Anyway, our bodies are amazing and if you give it the right building blocks it can repair itself just like Hippocates said, let thy food be thy medicine and the medicine be thy food. Sadly enough we are all so programmed so go for petro chemical drugs ones we have anything worse than a cold for which we know we can use lemons because of it Vit.C levels. "Eat the fruit and the seeds their off" said God as well. Daniel and his friends at a vegetarian diet and were stronger than the others etc etc. The germ theory is only half truth as not everybody you get contact with when you have the flu gets sick and that is because of their inner state of health and how well they have taken care of it with nutrition and of course ir depends on the make up or genes passed on. But in the end 1800 there were many different schools of medicine but through the Flexner Report of 19010 the Rockefeller and Carnegie Group monopolized petro chemical medicine by giving hundreds of millions off dollars into those Uni's who were prepared to promote it. By 1922 most naturopathic schools were gone, by 1935 10.000 herbalist had lost their jobs and by 1950 anyone who didnt have a Flexner approved medical education couldnt become a doctor and thats why the Fitzgerald Report in 1952 shows clearly in the congressional records after they were investigating a son of a senator who was healed of cancer naturally that "there was a real war going on against unapproved natural medicine". So that's why the bias is so string these days. Anyway, this is a major subject. Best of all is when you are sick is to walk by faith and appropriate what Jesus has done on the whipping post as we were healed by His strypes. So either, way, natural or spiritual approach, it doesn't matter as everything is made from sound or light waves anyway and God spoke everything in existence If you break down a atom you get a quark and if you break it further down what's left are just sound or light waves. So we are all electrical beings and run on 4 pico Amp. (0.0000000004) and therefor are very dependent on the natural frequencies of this earth like all other nature. Schuman Frequencies and brain waves, Hartman and Curry Lines etc etc. God bless.

I've listened to Dr. Wallach when he was a guest on a nightly radio show. His talk was very enlightening.

Wow, congrats, you are doing great!

That's awesome, zero!

Do you have centres where you could get such an analysis done for a fee? I'm thinking that buying a scale would be expensive, wouldn't it?

Yesterday was supposed to be chinups + biceps day. But, I skipped it because I was feeling lazy. :/

Measuring body fat is a must. Once i took a fitness walking class and at the end of the class i still weighed the same, however, I lost about thirty percent of my body fat.

Throw some blueberries in there as well

Thanks to the both of you!

It was chest and biceps day.

15 pushups
Incline dumbbell press
Decline barbell press
Flat cable flyes
30 pushups
Barbell arm curls
30 pushups
Preacher dumbbell hammer curls

Boom!

Everybody knows that friday is deadlift day.

135,185,225,275,315,365 x(5)
170 (10) x5

Hanging leg raise - (15) x 5

Front Squats - 135 (10) x 5


The hanging leg raises are probably the hardest part of the workout...
