Re: The Fitness Thread !

Thanks Rockfella. One more thing i wanted clarified. Is cottage cheese the same as the paneer we get in shops. Is Paneer a viable option when losing fat is the aim.

What is the diet plan do u follow. If you dont mind can u share what things u carry int he lunch box ?
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

I am not 100% sure about cheese, will let u know later. My diet plan might not suit you and to be honest i am experimentig with my food intake. I take 2-3 boiled chicken breasts 5 boiled eggs, 2-3 rotis and spinach (YES :no:i gulp it down yuks! :() on the workout days i carry extra oats + milk (full toned, though whole milk is best for strength GOMAD!) in my lunch box... drink water whenever possible. I try to eat every 3-4 hours and i am seldom hungry. Even then my results are slow 'coz i don't bench press/overheadpress due to shoulder injury as of now. I sold 50% of my PC components to get of PC addiction, i try to sleep as much as i can, i don't sit on the PC for long hours anymore and i am glad i sold my gaming gpu, overkill knick knacks and the extra bunch of hdds i had with 500+ movies i hardly watched. :lol:

Morning eye openers

Here are some more unfortunate truths: • Your muscles cannot get “longer†without some rather radical orthopedic surgery. • Muscles don’t get leaner—you do. • There is no such thing as “firming and toning.†There is only stronger and weaker. • The vast majority of women cannot get large, masculine muscles from barbell training. If it were that easy, I would have them. • Women who do look like men have taken some rather drastic steps in that direction that have little to do with their exercise program. • Women who claim to be afraid to train hard because they “always bulk up too much†are often already pretty bulky, or “skinny fat†(thin but weak and deconditioned) and have found another excuse to continue life sitting on their butts. • Only people willing to work to the point of discomfort on a regular basis using effective means to produce that discomfort will actually look like they have been other-than-comfortable most of the time. • You can thank the muscle magazines for these persistent misconceptions, along with the natural tendency of all normal humans to seek reasons to avoid hard physical exertion!

Re: The Fitness Thread !

Any workouts that I can do at home? Anything basic? Don't really have barbells etc available, and can't join the gym for a couple of months (exams etc). What can I do with some dumbells, and a hanging bar. At the moment, my basic strength is zero. Can hardly do pushups.
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

Rockfella,need tips on making protein shakes,cant afford those whey protein from outside.

Any way I can make myself at home which would be effective enough to take after workout?

And what are oats called in marathi/hindi ? :P
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

Be careful while you do your weighted squats, overhead presses and deadlifts guys.I didn't follow proper technique and have landed up with lower back injury.And with most of us being in the IT field, we are half way through having lordosis if we are not careful.
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

Yesterday was doing weighted squats using the bar and one smartass trainer came and was lecturing me that it is not good, it won't workout your leg muscles and asked me to do it in the smith machine. I said i know what i am doing :P

Funny how he was telling me that i can do more weights in the smith machine :lol:
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

Squats, push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups, reverse crunches and prone bridges. Start with beginner push-ups with knees on the ground.

Certain misinformed and so-called “personal trainers†will have people squat in a smith machine, which is, quite simply, an idea both hideous and destructive. This is often done under the misguided “squat this way until you are strong enough to perform a regular squat†premise. Even if one overlooks the obvious fact that it is better to learn to do something right than build bad habits from the start, there are numerous other factors to be considered. The smith machine stabilizes the bar for the lifter, which does not teach the skill of balancing the bar, balance being important to any athlete, as well as the fact that free weight squatting strengthens the synergists which goes a long way to preventing injuries. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the smith machine leaves far too many weak links. To say nothing of the fact that free weights provide a greater transfer of functional strength than machines. (23)Furthermore, the bar moves straight up and down, and very few people squat in this manner, which means that the smith machine does not fit a lifters optimal strength curve. (24) The smith machine also requires that the lifter either squats with his torso much closer to vertical than would be done with a real squat, which mechanically decreases the involvement of both the spinal erectors and the hamstrings. While this would be fine if it was done by the lifters muscular control, when the smith machine does this it is disadvantageous to the lifter by virtue of decreasing the ability of the hamstrings to protect the knee Joint. Another mistake made, aside from simply using it in the first place, is allow the knees to drift forward over the toes, the chance of which is increased by the smith machine. As was previously mentioned, this greatly increases the shearing force on the knees. This from a device touted by the ignorant as “safe.â€

Hey Saiyan,

Do the olympic squat not the power squat. High bar not low bar. Google for details. :cool2:

Re: The Fitness Thread !

So what else tips you got for me ? I have reduced substantial weight :D

Kudos to your squat tips I don't feel pain any-more while/after running :d Current scenario 12 X 5 :)

Apart from that any side reducing tips ? Although its gone there is still some flab left which I want to remove :P
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

Quit eating rice, reduce consumption of roti to 2 max in lunch only, if u feel hungry eat dal/veggies/salad but don't starve yourself ever. If possible give HIIT a shot. Warm up for 5 mins/mild jog/stretches then sprint for 20 secs , rest for 60 seconds X 4 times. Do it 3 times a week. See if u can handle it, it is HIIT, much more effective in fat loss but is very intensive and might injure u so go slow and do @ your own risk. Fortune favours the brave :cool2: :hap2:

PS: Sprint should be as fast as u can go... run as if a rabid dog is chasing u to bite u. Manage how u will calculate 20 secs time, a stop watch with a loud beep after 20 secs would be best. Don't stop squatting, start squatting with a barbell now, do 5 sets of 5 reps 3 times a week and add w2.5kg weight everytime u squat OR u will loose strength and u don't want that trust me :)

Re: The Fitness Thread !

Guys, tell me how i can grow fatter quickly(please don't tell me any exercises)...

Iam really getting pi$$ed off when people frequently say,

"dude...why are you so thin?"

"LOL...u remind me of a giraffe" :(

Its more hurting if guls say that :P

I don't understand where my food what i eat goes...!

So guys please tell me what i need to eat to grow fatter..
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

^^ Drink a lot of beer or your favorite choice of alcohol and eat a whole pizza when you get hungry after drinking. If you have a frying pan deep enough, fill it with peanut-oil and fry everything that you eat, it's awesome. Stop visiting the loo so much, that'll get the nauseated look on your face which girls find priceless.

Guys, could anyone tell me if there any +ves/-ves of whey over creatine. Everyone I asked seemed to get a bit confused on this so I am hoping someone can clear this out.

However, since I didnt do any weight training and all, my whole body is very spongy! I mean my belly is so soft you can throw your pillow away and sleep on it,my hands and all upper body is kinda soft and lose ....even more than girls body!! I have love handles i think!

Now two months from now I'm probably going to Goa with class and seriously I need to tighten up my body i.e. TOne up!

Exams are getting over in a two weeks and then I lose my Virgymity!

So guys tell me

1)Is it possible to get my body into appreciable shape in two months,lose love handles and all

2)How much hr/day should I go for it

3)Which excessive to tighten up Belly,chest and arms! I dont want any fancy pack or anything, just good enough to be shirtless!

Anything like this (pic) would be more than OK!!! ..........lol......Am I expecting too much!
