The Official Hype Fitness Thread 6.0 - Part 5

[ComicChick]

i lost my fitbit last night at work. pretty darn pissed about that. so darn expensive

 

[NickSox]

^A fan of IIFYM are ya?

Lol, I actually had to look that up. I guess I am a fan! I just always use my fitness pal to track my food and if I'm on a cut, I'll eat under my "maintenance" calories. I just never believed that eating at certain times had any bearing on weight gain, as long as you're at or under maintenance and eating healthy, whole foods.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, meal timing is absolute broscience. More doctors need to get into endocrinology b/c there's too much conflicting info about metabolism coming from "dieticians" and personal trainers. IIFYM doesn't work for everybody; myself included cuz I can't eat 4 cheeseburgers everyday and not feel horrible eventually, but some people have great success w/ it.

 

[mrvlknight21]

Dear Christ that is comprehensive. I still don't know how you havent had a wierd poop but i guess everyone is different. I usually have 3-4 shakes a day that may also be a factor as well.

LOL! Well, I wanted to be sure that you knew that I have been at this a long time and havent had any "weird" experience (although I am still not sure what you mean by weird or different in regards to poops or whatever).

I think I am part mutant. I have tried 3 or 4 pre workout supplements and havent felt the energy, focus, etc that everyone else claims to have. So, yeah, it seems that supplements have a different (lesser?) effect on me.

3-4 shakes a day seems excessive (generally speaking of course).

Poops aren't weird just like all in one solid chunk after a protein and post workout meal, no biggy just was making a funny really. Haha

I take 3-4 because I have a job that doesn't allow me to get lunch at proper time and I use them as my "snacks". I'm an outside sales guy on construction sites and I want to maintain a diet but I need to intake a good bit of protein to keep the first healthy and I'm currently doing high rep, high weight work and having the extra shake or two can really make a difference in my workouts. I've been at it for about 10 years so it's taken a while to finally get my programming down. Haha

Broscience is the best science Brah!

Just wanted to pass along my satisfaction with a fitness related product. As most of you know, I train at a MMA gym and a lot of my cardio comes from hitting the heavy bag. Well, I have used a few different programs to follow to hit the bag on my own (at home or at the gym during the open bag workout time).
These programs call out combinations which instruct the person what to do (jab, cross, hook, roundhouse kick, etc etc etc). It definitely helps you focus on the task, forces you to keep up the intensity and takes some of the "ok, what now?" questions out of the picture once somebody buys a heavy bag to use for exercise.

The issue for me has always been how to listen to the program without bothering others and without earbuds falling out. Some ear buds dont stay in when running, let alone twisting and turning for kicks and punches.

Anyways, I stopped by Best Buy, to see if they had anything and I will admit that I am a little tech-ignorant when it comes to some of this stuff.
Well they had the Motorola S11-HD (not the flex model, just the HD) on sale for $69. I spoke to a sales rep who said that he owned this same one and it was a good one (could have been lying, but I took him at his word). This was about the most I was willing to spend, so I gave it a shot and I am very glad that I did.

I have used them 3 times for my heavy bag workout and the entire "headset" has stayed in place and played the boxing combinations for me crystal clear and plenty loud enough (using my Sony Experia Z phone). I also tested the range a little bit and at 60 feet away, they were still clear and loud. Also, they only need to be charged for 5 minutes for 1 hour of use. I have not used them for music yet, but I suspect that I will be satisfied with that as well. I see plenty of these (used) going for less on ebay and all too. Either way, if you are shopping for something similar, I recommend these.

The s11-hd "flex" version of these was priced @ $129 Monday. FYI.

On the subject of earphones etc, has anyone ever tried an underwater iPod? I'm wondering whether I should get one for swimming as it would make it more interesting.

I saw some headphones like the ones I mentioned which are waterproof (actually has a swimmer on the package), so that might work as well. Cant recall the brand, etc, sorry.

Definitely. And I definitely don't just eat whatever I want as long as it's in my macros. I stick with good, healthy foods. Although gotta have those cheat meals here and there!

 

[the last son]

Been off for four days and think I'll be ready tomorrow. Feeling somewhat better. Slight cough, but feel I could have went today if I need to.

 

[Warhammer]

I feel as though my diet is sorta like IIFYM. I mean, 90% of my diet consists of healthy food (brown rice, vegetables, oatmeal, eggs, fruits, milk, water, no fast food, no candy, no soda or juices, etc), but my meal plan is never necessary planned out. I guess it helps that I am an ectomorph.

 

[the last son]

Waking up I still have a sore throat. I feel fine otherwise. Think I might try and workout.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Ok again I'll explain my workout routine.

Monday:1hr treadmill with weight vest. 4-5 miles and 30-50 min chest
Tuesday:1hr treadmill with weight vest. 4-5 miles 30-45 min biceps
Wed: 1hr treadmill with weight vest. 4-5 miles. 30-45 triceps
Thurs:1hr treadmill vest. 4-5 miles. 30-45 back/shoulders
Frid: 1hr treadmill w vest. 4-5 miles. 30-45 legs
Sat: Off
Sun: 2 hr walk/jog with no vest.

I'm gonna be starting on something like this in a couple months because I'm going on a dirty as all sin bulk. But, I'd recommend separate back and shoulders days and a combined bis/tris day.

 

[the last son]

Getting ready to do a 10 mile jog outdoors. First day back to working out in 4 days so expecting to be a little rusty.

You plan on lifting heavy?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

As heavy as I can go. If I'm not on at least 46 kg dumbbells for dumbbell bench press by March at the latest (when I'll start going clean and increasing the cardio), I'll have considered it a failure. Hopefully by summer I'll be at 50 kg dumbbells.

 

[Warhammer]

Why do a combined tri/bi day when sore triceps and biceps take away from chest and back workouts? I know at least for me, tearing up my triceps on a separate day significantly hinders my chest workout.

I tend to lump the 2 into the same category. But based on your explanation, I was definitely talking about nutritionists.

Space your arm day about 3 days after chest and back. They should be recovered enough in 3 days.

I slept a little too long today so it ended up being a rest day lol.

That's the ticket.
