Anybody work out!?

[beavereater]

I've worked out before (Joined a club and went once or twice a week :P ) but I don't know the proper way to get into shape...I mean 6pack and all!! Since moving to Japan, my beer drinking sky-rocketed...summer is here, and although it may be a little late to start for this summer...I figure why not start for next summer. SO...anyone know how to work out and get results??

[northcat_8]

I workout regularly.

Only way to 6 pack abs is through diet. You need to rid yourself of as much body fat as possible. I forget the exact percentage but contrary to popular belief, just doing situps won't do it.

You need a high cardio, high intensity workout and a good diet...if you want 6 pack abs.

Evander Holyfield only did 25 situps a day when he was a fighter

george foreman trained by putting a sandwich between his knees and taking a small bite each time

I do the 12-ounce curl

[tekkieman]

...I mean 6pack and all!!

6 pack abs are for amateurs! I have “kegger” abs!

I've been meaning to start working out again.

I used to walk a few kilometres every day and then do weights twice or so a week but with work, university and this place its hard finding the time. I think I'll try and start it up again over the university break.

I'm not too sure about the whole diet thing though. Whilst I can definitely cut back on some of the junk I eat I don't think you'll ever see me eating stuff like rice crackers and protein bars.

Then again, I've also been meaning to learn French but like this, it'll probably never happen.

Does -ion count?

[curryman]

I try to work out atleast 3 times a week.
I'll look at the menu and work out how much my take away is going to cost :P

[northcat_8]

Beavereater - it just depends on how much work you want to put into it. The best way I have been able to maintain a good regiment is to just schedule it as part of my day. It's as much a part of my day as going to work...er...um...bad example but you know what I mean.

During the summer I lift every M-W-F 8:00-10:00 am, during the school year I lift from 6:30 - 7:30 am...actually I haven't lifted during the school year this year because they are rebuilding the weight facilities where I teach...but usually. I am happy summer is now in session, I need to get my fat out of shape ass back in the rack.

I'm 6'5" and weigh a buck 80. If I worked out, there'd be nothing left. People hold me by my ankles to get the football out of the street drain. I have washboard abs because my ribs can be seen through the skin. I have well toned forearms and can kick most people's butt in armwrestling, but that's due to a different workout program. My knickname in High school was Popeye. Solid legs and arms, but no body mass. My waist is still a 30".

Different workout program. Funny how that tones only certain muscles.

Holy crap, if you were ever on the run from the police, you could hide by turning sideways Do you have to hop around in the shower to get wet Doramius? Just teasing ...

I must admit, I believe I'm 2D. Being this tall you'd think I'd stick out in a crowd. My friends lose me in a lightly crowded 7-11, and I'd be standing in front of them. I can't stand sideways for too long or people think I've left the room. I'll have to make a new thread just about the funny things that have happened in my life. My friends get kicks out of it. My wife, though she doesn't mean to but can't help it, laughs at what happens to me too.

My wife called some carpet cleaners because of a recent & bad carpet stain my son left from his juice cup. She didn't tell me she had done this. This morning the carpet cleaning lady came and knocked on the door and the door wasn't completely latched from when my wife left for work. Not knowing this I didn't pull it closed, so the knock caused the door to open. There I am feeding my son in my holey underwear with half my nutsack poking through and the carpet lady says, "I'm here to clean the stain." Talk about 'Awkward' and I was wondering what stain at first because the juice cup at that moment wasn't the first thing I thought about when she said stain. This was just this morning.

I chase a 4, 2 and 1 yo around the house after work and 10 hrs during the weekend...

Not high cardio but high fun..

That's great stuff. Write it all down and when you're old and bored you can write a book about it. Sell a million copies I'd buy it

[Doramius]

I'll title it "WHY ME! A book for those who need self reassurance of their own lives."

That's pretty damn skinny.

BULLSHIT!!! I'm not buying that You were earning your red wings on floor and you forgot your flow control techniques and ended up making a mess...didn't you, DIDN'T YOU Dammit, how many times do we have to go over it....pinch, pressure, purge...NOW NEXT TIME DON'T FORGET IT


Some people just have a high metabolism. I use to be skinny...155 lbs at 6'2"....that was many years ago, now I'm 220 lbs which is down from 235 when I was lifting heavy.

Oh and just so you know...you will gain 4 more pounds per week drinking Budweiser than Bud Light it's a fact.

You could also try using it to your advantage...

If you stand sideways and stick out your tounge you could be a model for a zipper.
You could tape a flashlight to your head and be a street light.
You could pair up with a fat guy and impersonate the number 10.

:P :P :P

My Dad is really thin...and my Dad's son is a smartass...I've... ...um, I mean he has teased his dad about it for years.

[beavereater]

With my work, I have SO much free time...its not always good, because it also means a little less cash in the pocket. But I can definitely spare 5 or 6 hours a day to training. The reason I am planning to work out is because my new office is next to a modeling agency :P Lot of hotty Japanese girls coming and going, some of them being students. Anyway, the manager at the office, a lady who was not at all attractive, made a comment that if I only lost the beer gut, and toned up, I could work for her. NOW...how serious a comment that was, I have no idea. But she asked me to do something before x-mas comes around because she has a lot of jobs.

Either way it will work out. I get a lot of fun dressing up as Santa and walking the streets of Japan, taking the subways and trains (All about 2 weeks before the 25th) Good promotion for my school!!

You burn 6 calories per minute while having sex. And that is both pre and post orgasm...

So you'd have to screw your brains out for a week just to burn off one 6-pack? Very disappointing :P

Sounds like there's fat in all of our futures

[freak_in_cage_10k]

at uni i lift weights 5-6 times a week.

you must give your muscles 48 hours rest between lifting so i do a split routine:

Day 1: Chest, Legs, Arms
Day 2: Shoulders, Back, Cardio
Day 3 same as day 1

etc etc

i have exams at the moment and so im only going to the gym once a week which sucks!!!! im going downhill SO much! my bench has gone down from 95 KGs to 80!!!! the closer you are to your physical peak (not that i am!) the quicker you loose it from not training!!!

if you dont have time to go every day, go every other day but train all your muscles each session! you will still get stronger, a split routines is more for the intermediate stage!

i dont have a six pac, i find watchign what i eat very tricky!!!! THE best way to get a six pac is as follows:

1) do weights as building mucle burns calories. it takes 50 Cals per day to keep 1lb of musle alive every day so even if the muscle is doing nothin it will burn cals! do abbs exercises also, but not every day!!! everyother day!!!

2) do your best to have a healthy diet!!!! the less fat you have on your stomach the ore your six pac will show!!!

3) do cardio (eg running etc!) this burns off the calories well, so if you cant resist a bit of junk food accasioanlly, atr least the cardio will counter that!

u can get a six pac from just good diet (as northcat said) , but it wont be very impressive without sit ups, and skinny guys who walk around with good abbs (cos they are just thin!) and no muscle elsewhere look stupid!

6 calories is a minimum if you just lay there and twitch every once in a while
I also think the 6 cal, is with the common thought that it takes longer than 3 minutes :P :P

I don't know how true that is, I read it somewhere or maybe it was my physiology professor in college, I don't know, I heard it somewhere though.

How many calories when it's vinyl?

[northcat_8]

Because of the lower melting point of vinyl and the increased heat due less lubrication as compared to the human female, I think vinyl is calculate in Joules

Remember 1 cal = 4.184 J

SO BECAREFUL

So they're "family Joules".

Another one to consider is static electricity on those dry, enthusiastic days. I'll have to watch for my hair standing up and stop for a while. Drawing an arc off willie the one-eyed wonder worm is not something I want to experience

[Doramius]

Try pissing on an electric fence. I think a static shock could be tolerated after that.

[northcat_8]

My friend pissed on an electric fence once while we were out rabbit hunting...christ I almost pissed myself laughing at him...he was pissing by a fence line of a cornfield that a farmer had turned his cattle out in after picking the corn....I was just standing there, he let out a holler, fell backwards, still pissing, he pissed straight up his chest, all over his clothes...we still laugh about that...well I do, he doesn't recall it as a funny moment.

[flaninacupboard]

Well he should!
i remember a friend of mine he pissed himself "a little bit" when he saw my wonky leg after i broke it. he actually fell on the floor he was laughing so hard........

[Doramius]

You usually end up pissing all over yourself when going on an electric fence. It causes your friggin' penis to roam like a struggling worm while your bladder still is emptying. And you can barely do anything to stop it. Then you just roll and moan on the ground while your balls, kidneys, and back all ache. You only hope you can still hae kids after an event like that. Yeah, I've pissed on an electric fence before.

What's funny is getting friends to piss on the post after you did, but turning the power on after you're finished. You might lose a few friends with that one, but it's funny as heck.

[flaninacupboard]

that's a SWEET idea, little remote control in your pocket. dare your mates you can piss on it and not cry, piss and say "Argh!" but then it's their turn, and you switch the ****** on

I that's such a

we're ******* twisted
