Have you guys seen me?

 

Yeah, you're that Sumo Dawg dude posing with all the guns.

My weight has fluctuated some. At my heaviest I was 240, now I sit here at about 210 beginning another diet and exercise regiment for my wedding coming in October. I hope to lose 10-25 lbs but plan on gaining it back. I am a carb guy all the way.

Im tired of trying to loose weight now focused on growing 3.5 feet taller. at least Im in shape,in 1st grade we learned that round was a shape

"When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons... were the fatties."

 

I'd like to drop 20 lbs.

Yeah guys, for all the talk of the ZA in the other thread, you gotta realize that you are either in shape when it happens or you are fffffffffffffffffffff'ed!

I am absolutely completely out of shape. I am about 290lbs and my ideal weight would be 185lbs. At 5'9", 185 is really too light for me. It was hard with the hand to hand because at 190lbs, you can move the other body around. For me though, I would like to see myself around 205lbs.

 

I am actually setting up a training regiment now. Cardi is the key to it all, but stacked with some hard training, you be locked, cocked and ready to rock in no time.

 

High speed, low drag baby!

Diet, not cardio is the key to it all actually.

 

The most effective cardio for fatburning is High Intensity interval training.

Bssically, wind sprints.

30sec max, 1mn slow, 30sec max, etc for about 15-20mn 2-3xs a week is all you need.

 

Adding muscle helps too as every lb of muscle you add, your basal metabolic rate goes up for 50 calories per day.

+1. Diet is 80% of the equation, whether you are trying to lose weight or put on muscle.

 

I work with a guy that does spin classes at the gym 3 times a week and does weights the other 2 days. When he first started working out, he lost about 25-30 lbs in the first month to month and half. Pretty typical for someone who just starts working out and changes their diet a bit. Since then, he's lost like 5 lbs in the last 5 months. No amount of cardio will make you lose weight if your diet sux. Some people can maintain their weight with cardio and a sh*tty diet.. but cardio and a sh*tty diet won't really help you much. Yes, your cardio levels (lung function, etc.) will absolutely improve... but the way you look may not.

My routine was as follows:

Day 1- Chest and Biceps

Day 2- 45 min elliptical

Day 3- Back and Triceps

Day 4- 45 min elliptical

Day 5- Legs and Shoulders

Day 6- 45 min elliptical

Day 7- Pizza and beer (or whatever your preference may be)

Ab exercises Day 1-6

Eating a healthy diet day 1-6 reduces calories. Eating "normally" on day 7 resets your metabolism to go back into "fat burning mode".

 

After about 9 months of this I went from 215 and fat to 185 with less than 10% body fat. Not to mention the endless amount of energy I had(my girlfriend was very very happy )

I am sorry I left that out. Diet goes without saying.

 

The wind sprints, will only help you get faster in my opinion. If your having trouble running, wind sprints will help with distance and getting better times in the mile. Longevity is what I would be looking for.

 

10min warm up, 30-45 minutes of cardio that has highs and lows, then a 10 minute cool down. I think three times a week is good. Personally, I like to do workouts one day and cardio the next. It keeps it fresh. In the summer this would change as the heat will slow you a little and also drain you. So I would do 5 day workouts and 5 day cardio. I would just adjust the times I spent doing each activity and I would also step up the pace,

 

Again, this is my experience and just from what I have seen work for me.

 

Chris,

That was close to my schedule. The only difference was that I did chest/ tri, back and bi's. Gotta have an off day also. Pizza was always a treat.

You would be incorrect. As a former competitive bodybuilder (MANY years ago) and one who knows MANY who compete), High Intensity interval training is by far the most productive for fat loss.

 

Look at the people who do it (mainly wind sprints in this example).

 

Look at the sprinters, Ben Johnson, Jackie Joyner, etc, etc.

 

Those guys are JACKED and shredded.

 

Look at the marathon runners and triathletes.

Who wants to look like that?

They all look like aids patients wasting away.

 

 

Train like those who's physiques you want to emulate.

 

One of many good articles on it:

HIIT is what makes body for life an Px90 so effective.

Mike,

 

Thanks for the info. Not saying I know it all, just stating what works for me. I'm not looking to be jacked either. Most guys that are jacked, it's all a facade. Their mobility is limited and therefore, in a hand to hand, they get winded. I have seen this first hand. Not comparing those I've seen to prof. bb'ers either. I just know what I'm looking to do. If I can ever get there or not, that is a totally other thing.

 

Granted, if the jacked buy usually get's a hold/ grab on you, speed is the only thing that enables you to get out of it. Otherwise your f'ed.

 

Edit:

I guess your right with training for likewise physiques. I am looking for the inbetween of being jacked and the aids patients.

Yeah, those jacked pro wrestlers or MMA guys sure have no mobility or explosive power/quickness.

Certainly those distance runners like the ones who run marathons surely do

Oh when the hip bone is petruding from your skin, it looks weird to say the least.

My goal would probally be 210 I am 229 but I am 6'1 and was 250 in april when I got married. The police academy helps just drink a ton of water and workout.

Oh when the hip bone is protruding from your skin, it looks weird to say the least.

That's actually one of the things I look for in a girl. A nice bruise after she gives me a hug. And if she's a little bit top-heavy too, that's a plus.

 

Here's an approximation of what I look for...these hip bones are pretty good.

How much per hour?

dan.... pics of your wife? =) you are posting toooo many pics of other chicks.

For those looking to loose body fat you will need both an exercise program and a healthy diet. Exercise programs should include both cardio and weight training. Cardio in the morning 1 hour before breakfast will help keep your metabolism raised for the day and 5-6 small meals are better then the normal 3. A good motivator is to paste a picture of yourself wearing just a pair of shorts on the refrigerator door and replace it with a new picture every 6 weeks. In the beginning the picture will help deter you from over eating and as you progress the picture will keep you motivated to continue your program. Throw away the scale and go by the way you look and feel. Your goal should be to loose 1 to 1.5 lbs. a week (52 to 78 lbs. in a year) any more then that and your body will go into starvation mode and store the fat and use muscle as fuel since muscle burns more calories. Take small steps in the beginning and don

Dan,

 

I was referencing a guy, like mikey mentioned the long mileage runners. I can handle it if a babe has a bone popping or two, as long as that bone isn't between her legs!
