Ive had my eye set on the Bodycraft F430, which is probably what I'll end up getting. We'll see though. When it comes time, I may decide I don't want to spend that much. I'll take a look at the Powertec too.

Powertec upped their prices last year and it's no longer the deal it used to be, otherwise I'd agree. The Bodycraft F430 isn't much more and has more conveniences.

Not to mention, if you buy from BB.com you're going to wait awhile because they've been having trouble filling orders.

faaawwwkk its been a while since I've been on there..

btw, two hours of Jiu Jitsu this morning.. gonna go get some sleep and head back to the Dojo at 5 PM for Muay Thai and another three hours of BJJ and Judo

Hidavi · Nov 23, 2010, 01:51 PM

Been working out on lunch breaks. Working out after work sucks because I get out hungry, then I gotta cook, eat, and then hit the gym... takes like 2 hours between getting out of work and finishing my workout and that's if I hurry. Usually I'm so tired that I kinda kick around rocks for a while before I even get to the gym after work...

Working out on my lunch breaks saves me like an hour of my life and also I still have energy to do it as best as I can.

Unfortunately, most work days I work on the road and I don't really get a chance to hit a gym during my lunch break.

ice · Nov 25, 2010, 07:49 PM

5x5 ATG squats again tonight. Having the day off throws my schedule off.

clerick · Dec 5, 2010, 02:46 AM

I haven't posted my fitness progress for a long time so here it is. Also again it's thanks to ice that i got my motivation in the first place (god i remmember the post pics of yourself thread where I got called fat and realized how bad of a shape I was in). Anyway spoilers for those who do not want.

erek · Dec 12, 2010, 11:33 PM

hadn't hit the gym in awhile.. over a month
on saturday i went

benched... warmup with 135 for 10, then 185 for 8, and then 215 for 4.75 (missed the last rep)

went and ran for a mile, and then did some janda situps... ran 1/9th a mile, more situps, and another 1/9th mile, and more situps

then walked for multiple 1/9ths of a mile... probably at least 1.5miles worth

then did some overhead presses with 40lbs to 45lbs for 8 reps of 3 sets

then did 6 pullups and hit the hot tub

erek · Dec 14, 2010, 07:53 PM

was sore as heck for the longest time over the weekend til today...
drank these two drinks post-workout,

today... i benched, 1 set of 135 for 10reps (warmup) then 2 sets of 215 for 5 reps...

ran a mile, then 25 janda situps, ran 1/9th a mile, 25 janda situps, ran another 1/9th mile and 25 more janda situps... then walked for several 1/9ths of a mile... who knows how long...

went downstairs of the gym and did 6 pullups, then 2 reverse, and another 2 reverse...

then went and did 65lbs each arm flat dumbbell press 2 sets of 8, and then one set of 5 (burnt out)

then i hit the hot tub... got more of those juices for post-workout

ice · Dec 14, 2010, 08:01 PM

First night deadlifting normally in a month. Kept it pretty light, felt good, ripped my knee open again.

Ah, good times.

No, it's just from the bar dragging up and down my legs from deadlifts. Just a small/deep scrape that bleeds a ****load.

Hidavi · Dec 14, 2010, 08:52 PM

Oh ****, scared me man. i thought you ****ed up your knee.

bounty_hunter · Dec 14, 2010, 09:49 PM

question: is it dumb to lift then do cardio? I start with weights and twice now, when i hop on a bike I feel really weird and dizzy. My breathing is all messed up and if i do too much, I feel like throwing up and fainting. The first time was so bad, I had to take a **** at the gym. Took me twenty minutes for my vision to get unblurry.

Whats up with that?

Horus · Dec 14, 2010, 10:05 PM

I do cardio after lifting, nothing wrong with that just have to get used to it. If you're getting blurry vision and faint consistently and for prolonged times you might want to go to a doctor.

it's just after i lift. If I cario then lift, im fine. Its not my body is starting up to fast..or theres different breathing involve when i life something..

CurrentlyPissed · Dec 14, 2010, 10:15 PM

I need help guys. I am wanting to lose weight again so bad. But its hard to get the motivation to. I went from 200lbs back up to my old high of 260. And I'd like to get back down to 200.

Here are the reasons that aren't helping my lack of motivation.

Girlfriend doesnt want me to, I go to school and work full time and she says "she will never see me"

I live with my grandparents, and well we all know how grandparents cooking is, I moved in with them while I go to school to drop down a position so I cannot afford to move out. Period. And there is no physical way to tell them to cook healthy, they are both... Large and refuse to fix their own diets and they take everything way to personal. I've asked them to cook healthier, or even allow me to cook healthier and they refuse.

So it really feels like even if I do go back and work out, I'm still stuck with a poor diet, and a pissed off girlfriend.

I need a miracle.

... /rant off?

Hidavi · Dec 14, 2010, 10:21 PM

Getting stronger. Sounds bad, but the new woman is good motivation to start cutting down again

erek · Dec 14, 2010, 10:23 PM

moderate amounts of cardio and weight lifting are probably good...

CurrentlyPissed · Dec 14, 2010, 10:27 PM

I use to do 30 min of cardio, followed by 30 min circuit training into a 10 minute cooldown in the saunna.

Is that enough to beat a **** diet? I can do what I can at work, but if I dont like or eat my grand parents food for dinner, it will literally make my life hell.

i guess experience might teach you the common sense...

there's just a lot to consider... perhaps start light on all workouts, and focus on correct form and technique then work your way up to harder routines

A2597 · Dec 14, 2010, 11:08 PM

Re-joined the Gym...I want to gain some mass, so we'll see how it goes. (still 6'2" @ 165lbs...basically unchanged for 5 years). Changed diet over somewhat for higher calorie, and eating more (Kinda, I have a hard time over eating nowadays) But more red meat, less vegan.

Been running, nice to see my endurance building steadily. Currently very sore from working out. It hurt so good. LOL

Haha, I'd be in a slightly worse mood if I seriously injured myself

Tonight was also the first night back to shoulders since I tweaked my spine a month ago benching. It hurts to reach up and turn a lamp off, but not to press heavy weight over my head

At least it's not RC related this time. Weight felt light, always a good sign.

Elysian · Dec 15, 2010, 08:19 PM

Worked legs today, really tore em up. Also did some circuit training on the abs/obliques, kicked their asses, as well as my own.
