Back Day Row-A-Thon


On a separate note. I am going to finally start including cardio. I know I know I should have been doing it all along. The truth is Im lazy and thats more than most will admit. I have decided that 4 days a week 30 min walk on incline treadmill should do me fine for now. Let me know what you guys think. I don't want anything too crazy just let me know if the frequency is right or not.

Strong sessions NG! Agree that the cardio is good to add in. Find a cardio routine that's not boring: heavy bag, shadow boxing, something like these. It keeps your mind off the cardio lung pain! Lol

Well I have treadmills in my housings subdivision. I can be alone and go anytime of day so I think I'm going to start there.

For me the treadmill is boring but I've seen people actually dancing in unison with the forward motion. Lol
 
I don't mind the treadmill so much. I prefer 1:1 sprints, and it seems to make the time fly by.

Incline walking will burn some calories to though. Frequency looks good to me.
 
HIIIT on the elliptical seams to go pretty fast for me and can get my heart rate up to about 170bpm
 
Wow so its been a little bit since my last post huh. Don't worry I am still in the game. ITs been a real learning experience for me the last few weeks. You know you can do all the research and watch all the videos but its nothing like trying to implement all the things you should REALLY be doing. I have started a REAL cut no BS excuses or shortcuts almost three weeks ago. I have no plans for this to be short term. I can be honest and say until this point I have never really done any consistent cardio or consistent CLEAN eating until this point in my lifting career. I don't know I tell myself that I have been building a foundation and while most of that is true. It really amounts to not being 100% dedicated. So up to this pint in my cut I have stuck to eating three Strict Clean meals a day and if we do go out with family I am very very mindful of what I am eating. No more one bite of cake or eating one of my wife brownies. Its just counter productive. The only sweets I have are frozen yogurt at 100 calories a serving. I don't feel thats going to hurt me any. Other than that it has been plain rice non sodium related baked chicken and some form of green/fiber twice a day with a healthy home cooked meal in the evening. This may not be as extreme as some of you but its the best I have ever done and my schedule really doesn't allow more than four meals a day. Now to cardio. Like I said NEVER done it. I hope this complete honesty helps some people out. I have stuck to 5 times a week. 30 min inline treadmill brisk walk. I may have to adjust this in a few more weeks but I am pretty happy with the consistency and effort needed for this. So far I have been extremely blessed with an awesome supplement company. Invalid Link Removed has been a family for me. They have never judged my through this for any of my downfalls and this is beyond appreciated. That being said, their supplements have been nothing short of fantastic but, do to improper diet and training I don't feel I have seen the complete benefit of their products thus far. I can only imagine what they will bring my in the future with proper diet and training. I am considering August my goal date for the end of my cut. This gives me 16-19 weeks total which should be plenty to get where I want to be. I am not looking to get show ready. I just want to be the best version of myself that I have ever been. I hope all of you that have read this to this point will stick with me in this. Look for weekly pictures and at the end I will finally step on a scale. Keep me motivated and encouraged. Post things in here. Meme's, quotes, whatever. It helps I have a AM family as well as a Mind and Muscle one!
 
From a Guy who lost 85lbs many years ago, your journey will be worth it. I am glad you have decided to become a little healthier !! Best of luck and if I can be of any help let me know!!
 
Looking forward to this new journey with you, Collin.
 
Cheering you on NG! True cutting is hard, with so many foods around us that are loaded with empty calories but taste so good!
 
You can do it ! Take it from someone who has been there. I weighed in at a blubbery 360lbs back in 2007 .... Doctor told me to lose weight or risk serious health issues aka Death. Lost over a 120 pounds from 2007-2010. Been addicted to the iron game ever since. Weighing in at a fairly lean (16%) muscular 260lbs today and feeling great! You WILL succeed brother .... stay focused stay dedicated see results ;)
 
Ok guys and gals. End of week three on my true and honest cut. I will be cutting till August by the way. Invalid Link Removed
 
Have you stepped on the scale ?
 
No. I am going to be doing base on how I look and feel. The past has proven that stepping on the scale just drives me bonkers
 
Leaning out bro! Nice!
 
No. I am going to be doing base on how I look and feel. The past has proven that stepping on the scale just drives me bonkers

I can understand that. Just keep your eye on the prize and you will be fine....
 
Mmmmmm salt free chicken and rice. The dream baby. The dream
 
Mmmmmm salt free chicken and rice. The dream baby. The dream

Are you going with Brown or White rice? I prefer brown rice ..... slower digestion and lower on the glycemic index ..... the better option in my opinion
 
I prefer brown. My time in the morning only allows me white to cook. Also the 50lb bag a Costco means it's much white in my future
 
That's me, too. I prefer brown but I don't have time for that. lol
 
That stuff is 45 min compared to 15. Seems crazy just to poop a little better lol
