Anyone want to have a fitness competition?

[Last One In]

Here's the challenge: do some sort of vigorous physical activity, 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week. This can either be sports, cardio, lifting, or whatever gets your rocks off. So anyone down, because I need a challenge I can stick to?

 

[losermeetsworld]

I work 4 hoursa shift, 5 days a week as a busboy... Go out around the tables, load dirty dishes, clen the table, repeate untill tub is full, and when they're full they tip the scales at around 50 pounds. It's really pretty rough.


Does that count?

 

[Que-Ever]

you could try this- start with 10 pushups, then 30 situps, then repeat. Do 7 days a week. each week, dd one to each set, you you should be up to 12 pushups and 32 situps. It seems to be working good for me, I actually have a ripping six pack now- it's just buried under fat. But I can feel it D:

I did that over the summer.
Tough work, doing that 5 days a week must put you in really good shape.

I've been working there 2 years now, doing that :smoking:


I'm of the type of person, I have a lot of body fat, (gut, mostly... see me in the post yer mug topic) and I abhorre anything cardiovascular, but set me in a weight room and I'm a beast. :-p It's from heaving the tubs around... I can bench 270 easy, never really tried to max out latley, and squat almost as much... Stupid German genitics.. Build but no tone... ****

 

[Glirk Dient]

Hmm I am tempted. I am kind of at a loss with excersizing though. I need to go out and buy some weights. Then I can do sit up/push ups in my house and lift weights...but until I get those weights I plan on being lazy some more.

 

[Greatgat]

S. Recoil would eat us all alive. And then use our calories to work out some more. So no, I will not get involved in your shameless promotion of cannabilism!

but with our added calory boost, it may tip the scales in Norris vs Recoil, to Recoil's side =D.

I'm in.

Ok, starting tomorrow I'll go to the gym, starting at 5:30 in the morning. Later in the afternoon, ill do some freeweights. What is your end of the bargin?

you should start going to a gym. You'll want to go when your actually paying money to do it. Trust me, it works like a clock.

If you started doing cardio those pounds would melt off. you just gotta mantain the lean mass by doing some form of weight training.

 

[short recoil]

Lol, i'm in, to tell the truth i've slacked off physical in the last few months...about time i got going again.

Drink green tea, keep your metabolism up by eating little and often all day and exercising whenever possible.
Eat the right stuff as well.

You're joking right? RIGHT?
Are you doing them properly if you are? a lot of people make the mistake of doing their pec flys improperly like chest press (which i can do 45kg a side or so)

If you're not joking then you have stronger pecs than me.

 

[Llama]

How the **** can anyone lift 45 KG with a chest press / pec fly?

 

[short recoil]

How the **** can anyone lift 45 KG with a chest press / pec fly?

Thats me doing 30kg plus bar per side, which is pretty well my max for pec fly....chest press i do 45kg, the problem isn't doing the actual press it's getting them into position that's the bitch when you havn't got anyone to spot for you.
I really did my back in once when i tried placing them to the side whilst getting off the bench.......90kg on one section of my spine.
You have to be so careful with big weights.

 

[baron insig]

ahh, pectoral fly machine for me,

i dont have the stability to do it free yet tbh

edit:

however, i can, lift a washing machine on top of another washing machine

thats 73.3 kg! up 90 cm

 

[short recoil]

ahh, pectoral fly machine for me,

i dont have the stability to do it free yet tbh

Ah i see, 82 is still pretty reasonable though, i don't bother with machines whatsoever......i maxed out all the ones at my local gym so even if i thought they did good there would be no point in using them.
Free weights are the way to go if you want overall definition, even if the weight is half as much, machines work isolated muscles, freeweights work supporting and grouped muscles as well......you end up stronger and more ripped.

 

[baron insig]

mm, but i wanna get used and sat into a routine with gym, i know freeweights are better, but i waan progress through to them, after getting some stregnth up in muscles, toning cycle with free weights to get stabilisers up to scratch and then start to really pork it

ne how im off to sleep now goodnight"

 

[MiccyNarc]

I work on a farm 6 days a week and go to karate training 2 nights a week, and exercise apart from those. I don't think I need much more.

 

[JNightshade]

My upper-body strength is decent, but chances are I can jump higher than any of you. I skateboard, so my leg muscles are ripped.

 

[Beerdude26]

Hmmm, that's an exercise i've never done.
I bet i'd be ace though, with my stammina

Better work those muscles below then, because none of your trained ones will do any good

A lot of body fat? No way.

Bench 270? No way.

He was just about to eat that snowball, and then shit out a turd the size of Kansas that would create an enormous snowball, which he would pick up and use as weights.
Duh.

 

[Last One In]

Well, day 1. I neither made it for a run this morning o nor did I do any sort of freeweights. Hell, I didn't even eat healthy, which is the baseline for any sort of fitness program. I'll go tomorrow though for sure. So the score for me is: laziness-3(bad eating, no cardio, no FW's), Me-0. Gotta take that lead,

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I'm actually quite curious.


How many pressups can you do in a row short recoil?

i.e without a break, whats your limit?

Same with situps..



At my peak I could do 125 pressups in a row, though admitadly the last like 20 are a lil shakey...
Now I can probably do 100...

My stamina is appalling mind, shockingly bad... I need to sort that out before I go to my next kickboxin competition methinks



Good test to see how strong you are:
Do a one handed pressup with your hand on the floor faceing inwards (ie if you have you left hand on the floor the fingers should point to the right.) the other hand behind your back. Now put a coin between two fingers on your hand on the floor and try to pick it out with your teeth...

I can do it, just!

I ran 5.2 miles in 34minutes 50seconds yesterday in the freezing cold when i was coming down with the flu. No one on here could do that.

Hmm I dont have a prob with the 200 sit ups I do that every night..but 80 pushups all in one go is harder lol...

 

[short recoil]

I can.
The other day i ran 15 miles in freezing cold (there was ice), i can't say i timed myself but it was somewhere around 2 hrs, this included up and down a mile long hill.
I was wearing combat trousers and a gym top.

Despite being a big bloke running is my forte, i'm like a dodge ram srt-10, big and chunky but so much power i can accelerate like a jap sports car. (but yeah, i guzzle the calories and burn the boots)

 

[Llama]

betcha Im a better sprinter than you though

(For my age atleast )

 

[The Monkey]

I do these exercises every day with a 6 kg weight.

2x35 Biceps
2x25 Triceps
2x25 Shoulder
