So I broke down today and...

Ate a sandwich on white bread instead of my regular 8-different-oats whole wheat bread. I was just getting entirely tired of how that bread tastes so I just wanted a little change. Plus I haven't eaten a single piece of white bread in about two months. Anyway, it didn't even taste like bread . I think I'm going to be sick.

I personally prefer wheat bread because it's what I've been eating my whole life but plain white bread is the shit too.

thanks for the info

xpinchx Ate a sandwich on white bread instead of my regular 8-different-oats whole wheat bread. big f'in deal

I think white bread tastes like shit.

NO, NOT THE WHITE BREAD! YOU ONLY HAVE 7 DAYS LEFT lc

I broke down today and instead of just eating my salmon patty from yesturday plain, I topped with some onion rings, american cheese and ate it between two slices of white bread

So I broke down today and...

Cardio after not doing anysort of cardio in 8 months

Cardio after not doing anysort of cardio in 8 months

fucking sucks. I used to be able to jog about 2 miles pretty easy. Put on roughly 25lbs in those 8 months. Just started doing some jogging again last week and I can barely jog 1 mile now.

That's so funny you post this. The SAME EXACT thing happened to me today.

cazzone That's so funny you post this. The SAME EXACT thing happened to me today. The last 1/4 of the mile my ankles were screamin

yes my shins hurts as well.

been there couple times, and I'm there again. But it feels so damn good to feel like I'm doing something worthwhile.

do HARD cardio for 20 minutes a day 4 times a week for the first week or two to get the metabolism going. It gets easier from there

PurEvl do HARD cardio for 20 minutes a day 4 times a week for the first week or two to get the metabolism going. It gets easier from there Yeah, it's always hard getting back into cardio, but after a couple weeks I find running pretty enjoyable.

christophers i only run after ice cream trucks most of my year is this way

Weekend after starting a physically demanding job

Weekend after starting a physically demanding job

I started a job on Tuesday that is both technical in some respects, but physical in others. I'm part of a project to stage 3,000 PCs for deployment, and I spend my days surrounded by HP boxes and lifting PCs from one area to the next. This is my first physically demanding job, and today (Saturday) I had trouble bringing up a small load of laundry from the basement. At work, when I lift PCs off the floor, I lift with my legs, but taking a PC off the workbench to put back into the box, I have to lift from the waist. Should my nutrition requirements be changing? (keep in mind, I have no fridge at work) Any suggestions to keep from blowing my lower back out?

wtfcopycatname

omgz i only clicked on your post cuz i thought it was THE timberwolf... now that click is gone forevar

superbri007 your weak attitude reminds me of michael jackson's frail body man up wigger

get enough sleep.

superbri007 you could wear a belt for support, you often see workers at home depots wearing them all day, its a great idea, makes you stand upstraight and takes pressure off your abs and back muscles A belt would be good except for the fact that I have to wedge myself into some pretty tight spaces in order for me to get all the cables set up right

Damnit. Change your name.

When you have children...

When you have children...

Will you make them eat healthfully now that you've learned from your mistakes? I know I will. My parents let me eat anything I wanted (luckily I was a hyper kid with a high metabolism.) I remember my mom would take me to taco bell and I'd eat 6 soft tacos (Over 1,200 calories ) or I'd eat 5 bowls of lucky charms as an "after dinner snack" (another 1,000+ calorie 'snack') I won't put my kids on a hardcore cutting diet or anything, but I'll make sure they eat right.

I will steer my children far away from what i do

5 bowls of lucky charms? Holy crap! The most cereal I could ever eat was like 3-4 bowls of fruity pebbles. Were you a big kid?

I'd let me kids eat whatever they want and look however they want

I am definately going to make my kids (if they are boys) start lifting weights in the 7th grade. My middle school and first 2 years of high school were miserable because I was always worried about being chubby. Always. They will thank me after seeing results!

nathanbx I'd let me kids eat whatever they want and look however they want kit kats for breakfast, snickers for lunch, and butterfingers for dinner? be honest with yourself, you aren't going to let them eat whatever they want. obviously you want your children to make choices for themselves, but you have to give them a healthy eating base so their overall health will benefit as children and as they grow.

disblohs kit kats for breakfast, snickers for lunch, and butterfingers for dinner? be honest with yourself, you aren't going to let them eat whatever they want. obviously you want your children to make choices for themselves, but you have to give them a healthy eating base so their overall health will benefit as children and as they grow. No, I will let them eat whatever they want. If they want kitkats for breakfast, more power to them, I'm not gonna be having all that shit in the house, but if they get ahold of it, I'll let em eat it.

nathanbx No, I will let them eat whatever they want. If they want kitkats for breakfast, more power to them, I'm not gonna be having all that shit in the house, but if they get ahold of it, I'll let em eat it. that's a great attitude. "hey, my kids got ahold of some cocaine! more power to them!" do society a favor and don't have children....ever

disblohs that's a great attitude. "hey, my kids got ahold of some cocaine! more power to them!" do society a favor and don't have children....ever Believe me, I don't plan on it. And you're comparing cocaine to chocolate snacks, do society a favor and /yourself.

nathanbx Believe me, I don't plan on it. And you're comparing cocaine to chocolate snacks, do society a favor and /yourself. your nonchalant "they can do whatever they want" attitude will carry over into other things. don't act like you would let them eat whatever they want because it's their life and then you would take it upon yourself to control every other aspect of their life. if you do have children, i hope they learn proper nutrition (among other things) in school because they obviously aren't going to get the guidance they need at home.

oh goodie, it's lunch time. i think i'll go have a bowl of chocolate syrup with baby ruths mixed in

I have the ultimate solution....I'm not having any.

I was thinking about this the other day, my parents (my mom really), always tried to get me to eat right, and stop eating all that candy shit, but of course me being stubborn, didnt listen to her and I turned into a fatass If I were to/when I do have children (not literally, but you catch my drift ) I will do my best to try and keep them on a straight path, and eating healthy. Introducting healthy foods early in life so they are used to them, and eat them. I'd also have my children start weight lifting when they are young (~middle school), and thats if they're boys of course. If they are girls, I still would want to keep them on a healthy nutritional path, and introduce some other exercise into their lifes. They wont become a couch potato, like I was

xpinchx Will you make them eat healthfully now that you've learned from your mistakes? I know I will. My parents let me eat anything I wanted (luckily I was a hyper kid with a high metabolism.)

I let them eat candy and sweets. they are limited in the quantity that they are allowed to eat though. for the most part they eat healthy, and reasonable quantities of food. I've only cut my oldest off a few times, when she has gone back for more and more and more...

superbri007 I know that i'm only 21, but I'm already thinking about family, and I'm still in college. I can't wait to get out get my job, get a wife, and then have kids. Is that like, natural in our genes, to want to settle down so early? Am I weird? hahahah thats sweet. wait until you're ready though- financially and mentally/emotionally

superbri007 I'm scared to have sex with any girl here at Quinnipiac University. Yale University has parties called "Quinnipiac Party's" wear the girls wear next to nothing, and the guys wear popped up collar pink shirts so you can tell what im dealing with at school. too many hoes here

i will control what my kids eat. since i'm eating healthy, so will they. i don't keep snacks or chocolate in the house, except for my protein shakes. i think it's very important to learn good eating habits early on so that you have a strong base for the rest of your life. i will also never use food as a reward for my kids...as my mom did with me.

nic379 i will control what my kids eat. since i'm eating healthy, so will they. i don't keep snacks or chocolate in the house, except for my protein shakes. i think it's very important to learn good eating habits early on so that you have a strong base for the rest of your life. i will also never use food as a reward for my kids...as my mom did with me.

I'd rather borrow kids from my friends and spoil them so I can be the cool uncle, then return them at teh end of the day. they're great for pickin up hotties cause it shows you like kids, but aren't tied down by one of your own. but back on topic, if I ever have kids, and thats a BIG IF (caue I like my freedom and having disposable income) I won't be anywhere near as anal about there diet as I am about mine, but somethings, like what we decide for on dinner would be an obvious carryover from my diet to their's.

I won't be too strict on what my kids eat, overall I eat pretty well anyway, I just will make sure the junk doesn't get out of control. However, I will make sure they stay active. No sitting in front of the tv/computer all day doing nothing. If they are into sports, great, if not that's ok but they're helping me in the yard once in a while.

I make sure my daughter eats a well balanced diet. At the same time I don't deprive her of candy and junk food. Thats part of being a kid.

xpinchx I won't put my kids on a hardcore cutting diet or anything, but I'll make sure they eat right. same here.

Fucking I'd be having them on a nazi regime. Big bowl of proddige mixed with flaxseed oil and protein powder for breakfest, school packed lunch is a salmon sandwich with 2 pieces of fruit and a bottle of water. For dinner it's either salmon or stake, drenched in olive oil, with potatoes and a side salad with fruit for desert. Snacks: Fruit, Walnuts or Water If they don't like it, THEY'RE OUT OF THE FUCKING GENE POOL

i will just make sure they get exercise and eat in moderation. Nothing too extreme unless they are getting to be real fat

I am going train my kids up to be ultimate athletes, good strength speed and agility. I am not teaching them through my mistakes, I have always been very health concious. Right now I just hope I don't have pansey kids, but when the time comes I am sure i would like them anyways. Right now whenever I think about kids, I never think about a girl. I would not know what to do.

When you have children...

progress pics of me v. 1st real thread

Finally posting some progress pictures. The first string of pictures has me trying to look sad in the first picture and the reason i put it in is because it emphasizes the fat. for some reason i was an idiot and mixed up 2 of them in the first string of pictures. Comments definitely welcome. Point out spots I need to hit harder and if you have time how i should improve that area. Also any other advice you think might be helpful.

looking leaner

dmaestro looking leaner thanks

very nicely done. i would say trap work and a tan would do ya some good

aenz very nicely done. i would say trap work and a tan would do ya some good i'm a pale bitch i'm thinking about laying out soon enough.

yeah, tan > *

mike yeah, tan > * that broly in your av has one hell of a tan...that must be why he looks so big

lost alot of fat in your face. keep itup

mtnbike4522 lost alot of fat in your face. keep itup thanks a lot man.

Needs more chest..and well...needs more everything. Bulk!

GilgaMesH Needs more chest..and well...needs more everything. Bulk! i have another thread about this right now. i want to bulk, but i can't stand my love handles and i'm afraid they'll blow up if i start bulking.

Well fat gain should just be accepted on a bulk. Ya have to be willing to put on a little pudge if you want to look good in the long run.

GilgaMesH Well fat gain should just be accepted on a bulk. Ya have to be willing to put on a little pudge if you want to look good in the long run. could i make any sort of gains doing a month long bulk and then start cutting again?

Not really unless you're on the sauce Why not just endure 4-6 months of being a bit chubby?

GilgaMesH Not really unless you're on the sauce Why not just endure 4-6 months of being a bit chubby? because i've been enduring it for 20 years and i'm still enduring it right now

And if you really really bulked hard for a month, you could certainly put on a decent amount of mass, but nowhere near enough to fill that frame, methinks. If you clean bulk for 4-6 months , you will gain plenty of quality mass and only have a little fat gain. I personally am not into the clean bulk. Dirty bulkerZ 4 life, yo!

Dirty bulkerZ 4 life, yo! maybe i'll clean bulk..see where that takes me for awhile

Just make sure it really is bulking. If you're going to do it clean, you'll have to stuff yourself and religiously keep track of calories because many people that "clean bulk" don't really bulk at all

GilgaMesH Just make sure it really is bulking. If you're going to do it clean, you'll have to stuff yourself and religiously keep track of calories because many people that "clean bulk" don't really bulk at all i've always wondered this about bulking. is it possible that while someone is bulking their frame starts to fill out more so they actually look better than while they weren't bulking. for example, would my abs and obliques get bigger and fill out more so that my stomach might actually look better while bulking? probably a pipe dream but

Well yeah you'll get fuller. There are a lot of things that go into how much fat you gain as well (how many calories over maintenence, genetics, how clean, etc) but I know personally, even though I've gained some fat, I think I look better than I did when I was 180.

you might have convinced me gilgamesh. as much as i want to be more cut for this summer, i probably wouldn't end up taking my shirt off anyway.

I'd put those pictures in order! Confusing shit! Good progress.

Socrates I'd put those pictures in order! Confusing shit! Good progress. lol..yeah...the first string of pictures is shitty. i didn't realize it until i after i made it and then i was too lazy to fix it thanks

i think you look really good. great progress!!! i'm impressed.

Showing some improvement.

Lifting in the same gym as wanna be UFC fighters blows

Lifting in the same gym as wanna be UFC fighters blows

theres 2 'fighters' in the gym and they seem to alternate days of coming in so as to hassle me to the fullest. Scenario 1: me and my friend are on incline bench...after every set i finish, 'fighter' #1 proceeds to walk over and tell me some bullshit i dont care about how he switched jiu jitsu gym from the black dragon school to the gracie school. he then proceeds to bring up 4,000 different submissions he just learned and prefaces every one with 'you're a wrestler...you know know this one right?' and then proceed to say 'here man youre too tall, i cant do it on you...get on your knees so i can do it' then he proceeds to put me in some dumbass sleeper hold variation nearly knocking me out so i have to tap his arm...he then gets this dumbass shitfaced grin on his face and says 'har har hardy har har pretty good hold eh?' as i think 'yeah man, next time youre in a fight and the guy is over 5' 5" just ask him politely to get on his knees so you can do your flawless submission repetuoire' this goes on between every set causing a 5-7 minute break between every fucking set (Reapeat paragraph Mon-Wed-Fri) Scenario 2: 'fighter' #2 takes a break from his incline situps and throwing punches at the top of every rep to take notice of my 'undefeated wrestler' shirt and waltz on over. meanwhile my friend and i are in the middle of deadlifting. he proceeds to butt in and say 'hey....are you a wrestler' (he obviously is very perceptive and has 40/30 vision or better because it has registered with him that i wear wrestling apparel every day to the gym). he then goes on to tell me about how he trains with a wrestler who was a two time state champ in west virginia where the west virginia state tournament consists of 2 parapolegic mutes with down syndrome. thinking im enthralled to hear this, he then goes on to tell me about every single principle of brazilian jiu jitsu and how i should do it. (meanwhile nearly 5 minutes have elapsed) he then takes an abrupt change in subject matter to the tv show 'the ultimate fighter' 'have you ever seen the ultimate fighter' 'no' (a lie in a futile attempt to stifle conversation...bad idea) 'ohhhhhhhh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, well in that case (insert backround story, physical specs, fighting backround, and undergarmet preference of every single fighter on the ultimate fighter.....then after that he spends 5 more minutes telling me how the show was only supposed to give out 2 contracts at the finale but the fight was just so damn fucking a sweet they DUH DUH DUH gave out 3. (insert me shitting my pants out of suprise). then after that riveting 15 minute long sabbatical from lifting, he proceeds to walk back to the corner and throw some lightning fast jabs and ultra smooth kicks in the mirror (Reapeat paragraph Tues-Thu) note to self: never wear wrestling apparel again or get swamped by the 'everything we wear says "tapout" on it' crew

As an mma practitioner this UFC show has become a blessing on the one hand and the gayest thing on the other... Tons of people are showing up to train, all because of the show. They only last a month or less, they don't realize its seriously hard work. Then there are all the people who just watch the videos and pretend they can do something like it (like backyard wrestling). The exposure is good in terms of making the sport larger...but there are always bad things that come with expansion, like the douchebags you saw.

that's great. I wish i had people like that at my gym. But instead I only have immigrant farm workers children.

You can thank the stupid "Ultimate Fighter" reality show for that. Now kids everywhere think they can train to be UFC fighters and practice in their backyard, thanks Zuffa.

Jeff Coleman You can thank the stupid "Ultimate Fighter" reality show for that. Now kids everywhere think they can train to be UFC fighters and practice in their backyard, thanks Zuffa. meh, local shows will be easier to set up and probably more frequent now though.

Lower devisions like IFC, GC, KOTC, SuperBrawl etc. have NO problem getting fighters. So dont expect there to be more shows just because more people want to fight, if they wanted more shows they would contract more fighters.

my friend is the NY state champion in mma or whatever

I understand that the idiots are strong now..but why even cater to them? Tell the little chump to back off, you're lifting and don't have time for him..don't feed his stupid ego trip.

Real fighters wouldnt be focusing half their week in the "gym" Most explosive moves can't be replicated with your typical gym set. I don't think this sudden burst of popularity will last very long, give it a year or so.

superbri007 holdempoker.jpg except poker isn't going anywhere

superbri007 holdempoker.jpg Theres this really annoying kid at my school who thinks he's the shit and now walks aroudn school with either cards in his hands or poker chips at all times. He's always like "man I can't stop thinking about poker," "I want to play poker," and he always asks every fucking teacher/student "do you play poker?" "Are you any good at poker?" blah blah blah blah blah.

b-stevens Theres this really annoying kid at my school who thinks he's the shit and now walks aroudn school with either cards in his hands or poker chips at all times. He's always like "man I can't stop thinking about poker," "I want to play poker," and he always asks every fucking teacher/student "do you play poker?" "Are you any good at poker?" blah blah blah blah blah. i love hold em.. but i dont walk around with chips and cards

jonno i love hold em.. but i dont walk around with chips and cards the other day in class he enlightened me with the "reason" why he always has them on him. He told me that he shakes when he's not playing cards... like it's some kind of physical addiction.

I'm gonna guess that they just train in grappling and aren't really fighters... anyways people who preach about it incessently are gay.

buy your own equipment and lift at home, i did and it was worth it

there was always a good mix when i went 2 the Y, couldnt tell ya now cuz i work out @ my house.

Good think I work out at our school football weight room so I know everyone in there and no random people come in I can also do some lifting at my house

make sure you have plenty of weight on the bench next time he comes over and be like, "wow, i got something new i learned two, here sit down on the bench and i will show you", lift bar up, drop on his chest.

tize he would karate kick sarges face doubtful and most likely you could make sarcastic comments like "ohh is the baby going to tap out?" worst case scenario step on his foot and run.

Jeff Coleman You can thank the stupid "Ultimate Fighter" reality show for that. Now kids everywhere think they can train to be UFC fighters and practice in their backyard, thanks Zuffa. Yeah now I can go to my local bar/club and there will be even more lightweights to beat the shit out of on fight night!

b-stevens Theres this really annoying kid at my school who thinks he's the shit and now walks aroudn school with either cards in his hands or poker chips at all times. He's always like "man I can't stop thinking about poker," "I want to play poker," and he always asks every fucking teacher/student "do you play poker?" "Are you any good at poker?" blah blah blah blah blah. work on your grip and learn to tear decks of cards in half.

Be like "Black Dragon this, motherf**ker!", and then use your index and middle fingers to gouge out his eyes.

Its pretty stupid to compare sport fighting systems to combat systems. Its like comparing stock cars and formula, they are two different things. Also its the fighter not the system who is ultimately responsible for the outcome of a fight. Anyway, yeah there are a lot more people interested in MMA now that TUF aired but I am happy for it. I'm glad that every third guy is talking about armbars and rnc's, even if they are looking at kimura's and neck cranks. Whatever, until NHB fighters start making the money they deserve, I'm all for the blatant commercialism. If it means that there will be more wannabe's walking around acting like jackasses, so be it, it better than fighting for 500 bucks and having no health insurance.

Grouch that's great. I wish i had people like that at my gym. But instead I only have immigrant farm workers children. Gilroy

Lifting in the same gym as wanna be UFC fighters blows

Good laugh

Good laugh

My mom's boyfriend, last night, tried to tell me: "For your body to build muscle, you must rip the muscle you have, by lifting weights. After this ripping, your body rebuilds the muscle and builds a little bit extra to accompany it." I was like, ahhhh ok. I am going to bed now.

tize is he swoler than you? He's 40.

JuggetEQ He's 40. that doesn't answer the question

disblohs that doesn't answer the question He is my same height and a little bit bigger than me. He lifted for years and has been off of lifting for years.

tize how big are you? in what way?

tize im swoler than most 40 year olds that bone my mom I am gonna bone your mom, then cock slap you like a true broly would.

ACURA TL-S I am gonna bone your mom, then cock slap you like a true broly would. Ok

tize who is this guy; hes no fun I was just laughing at the BF. He has no clue how muscles are contructed.

tize well you should have countered his contructed uncorrectness why prove someone wrong? It proves nothing. I just creates hostile situations.

Good laugh
