Can we get a fitness thread going??

So I've been studying a lot about exercise and nutrition. I was 190, dropped down to 176.
I've a good amount of muscle. I'm about 13% body fat, my goal is 8%.
I have a good amount of good exercises if anyone is interested i my circuit training or super sets.
My diet is basically Eggs, cashews, Almonds, spinach, chicken breast, oatmeal, fiber supplement, whey protein shakes, granola, a little beef.
So, a lot of protein and 20-30 grams of carbs. About 100 grams of protein.

bump ya chubbies

do you activate your almonds?

I posted a depression self help thread in serious once.

Then it sank because it didn't have the motivation to go on.

Your fitness thread will probably just end up in flames or tears and then cry itself asleep with a bucket of ice cream chicken in hand.

Why couldn't you return in September when I was doing body building for 2 weeks?

Ya know.....before I lost my job and had to stop?

8% bf is pretty difficult to get to, do you have a caliper?

I ate a whole Dominoes to myself today.

That counts as gastrointestinal fitness if I gotta digest it, right?

my right leg is a lot stronger than my left leg, my squats are slightly lopsided, plz help.

It only counts if you power shit by flexing really hard to get that last bit out.

That's... An odd imbalance to have.

Might want to just lower your squat weight to the point where your legs can work equally and build up once their strength levels out.

Consider it a part of my daily exercise from now on.

I played football(soccer) throughout highschool, and I'm rightfooted, so my right leg did a lot more work, hence it's much stronger.

Yeah I'll probably have to do that, I'll just have to do more lower sets and only one or two heavier sets.

i haven't been lifting nearly as frequently as i used to since winter break...and now since i have a girlfriend, i don't need to get jacked to impress females anymore (lol not being srs)

but yeah i really haven't been motivated to get back into my fitness regimen again and i don't know why.

Good job. Now you're ready to anally pulverize anybody who sticks it up your pooper inapropriately.

Started upping my running schedule last July.  Currently going around 4mi every other day, and have a pretty garbage diet, but have been losing weight steadily.

Running that far and that long isn't as effective as interval training for 30 minutes or so.
So 30 second sprints and 20 second walking

He used to be so small...

I only started being healthier late last year, but I've already lost 10kgs / 22 lbs from just eating better, only drinking water and doing basic at home exercise. I'm not too serious about it but I feel a lot better already, so progress is progress hah.

Righteous! That's sweet. Working out for like 30 minutes revs up that metabolism for a good portion of the day.
A circuit I like to do that gets my blood pumping is:
12 pull ups
12 arm curls
12 push-ups
12 dips
All back to back with no rests. Do like 5 sets of these and that's all you need.

Over 4 or 5 years I went from 230lbs to 170lbs.

I learned to hate gyms when I was younger (hence the 230lbs), so I eventually just started hiking more.  5 miles reasonable miles kicked my ass, then I started going up mountains and could push it to 8, my best record at this point is 18 miles with two mountain passes and a summit in 10 hours.  I'm working towards comfortable 20 mile days regardless of elevation gain, some point this summer I'll be pushing for 30-40 mile days.

I don't worry too much about my diet, but my staples are peanut butter, tuna, vegetables, nuts, and granola.  I'll have a protein shake after a rough day occasionally.  My diet on trail is atrocious but necessary to gain calories.

I'm not shredded or anything, but the results have been great.

Not the kind of motivation anyone needs

With a good diet and that much cardio you could be shredded.
It's said that 60% of gains come from a diet.
Muscles are made in the kitchen. I love hiking too, I got into it when I discovered a really cool trail 5 minutes from my house leading up to a waterfall.

Nah my friend made me a diet and work routine.

Sounds like the trail that got me back into it, haha.

I'm starting long-distance trekking this summer, maintaining muscle would be very hard to do out there unfortunately.  There's no way to keep up with my dietary needs doing long day after another back-to-back, so your body feeds off whatever it can in lieu of that to get what it needs, which means any muscles I'm not consistently using will be cannibalized to repair the ones I am using.  Some people pack protein powder with them to help with that, but I'm trying to be strict with my budget, so I don't know how I feel about staying supplied with it along the way.  I won't have much opportunity to prepare actual meals, I'm limited by calorie dense foods that can be eaten raw or cooked in a small pot.

But absolutely you could start building serious muscle, especially if you start getting into scrambling and such.  It's a major full body workout. 

Been working out almost every day since Christmas. Gainz are going through the roof.
