and he grew up to be this guy

[Da Git]

Today I participated in the lowest level regional tournament in Taekwon-Do hereabout. I was mostly a referee, but I got the chance to compete a bit as well. To my surprise (not really...) I found out that I am in a bad shape. I get tired too easily and forget techniques in the patterns. That is, I have practiced the martial art way too little.

All the same, I managed to stumble into a bronze medal in sparring... And I mean stumble. We were only 5 competitors in the class, so it was decided that we would have a mini league with points for wins and draws. I won my first match, and lost my last three. The last one was ok, the middle ones I did real bad. Since I felt I had done so bad I had no thought about a medal, and no time to check the final league scoring, since I had to change clothes to be a referee again.

When we handed out medals and congratulated the winners as referees my name was suddenly called out as a bronze medal winner. It took me a couple of seconds to realize it was me, so when I finally came over to the Senior black belt who was handing out the medals he had to ask if I was groggy from the sparring.

All in all this has made me realize I have to step it up a notch. I want to compete again, but I do not want to do as badly as the middle matches I had today. It serves as a great motivator for further exercise.

How is it going guys?

I have had a few good work outs since last weekend. And I have been able to not buy soda and chocolate (or any other sweets) from Easter until yesterday. I had promised myself one day off, and rewarded myself then.

Now I am to go without buying soda and sweets until the 17th of May (Norway's constitutional day) and then until some point in june. I need two to three week intervals so that I can see an end to my "suffering".

I haven't been able to check my weight recently, but I doubt it is much change. I have been too unfocused in diet and exercise together. Until now. Things (Not me. Yet.) are starting to look better.

Edit: Check out Fitocracy, by the way. It's really fun getting points for working out.

Well, sofar so good for me took up running at some point along the way, and it hasn't been a complete fail. Taking tonight off as my legs are still dead from Tuesday (PT's fault).

[Gork Morksson]

not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination. I really thought that I would atleast loose some of the exess fat by following my 2 page diet book.
page 1: Eat less food
page 2: Do a bit of walking you fat bastard.

Regardless of my body not giving a dung I'll continue running and eating healthier, after all it can't be bad for me

Well, having missed around 2 weeks of training while I was away from home (at Armageddon, mind you), and having missed a few days this week due to sleeping in...

I'm doing good. Well, as good as I can expect after only having done two day's worth of workouts this week >_< (Chest/arms on Wednesday, Midsection today).

Still, overall is good, so I'm not complaining

[raivenblade]

for those who need a little help, remember that pets can be great assistants during your workout

[Gork Morksson]

haha finnaly managed to get out on the tracks again today. I seriously found the one hour gap this whole week so far that did not contain massive amounts of rain

[Borzag]

And threadomancy'd (it was this or the Ponies).

How's everyone else going? I'm doing ok sofar; my weight's about the same, but I can now fit into a size M shirt, down from XXL, and I can lift more. Also, yoga.

Yaaay now let's hear your stories!

[Da Git]

My body still much the same. Maybe a bit better shape, but that's about it. I lift heavier weights than I did when this thread started though.

I haven't been able to keep to a regular workout for the past month or so, and it's been frustrating.

I just got back from a workout right now though, so that's good

Aside from that, I am still feeling fitter overall. And if nothing else, that's a good thing

[Snikpik]

Well I'm still plodding along at the gym and have noticed that i have a) lost my beer belly and My arms, chest, shoudlers and legs have toned up a hell of a lot. Anyway heres my current routine, not including the swimming or any other cardio exxcersises.

Day 1:

(Super set) Straight Arm/ Lat Pull Down 4 10-15
(Super set) Smith machine (wide Grip) Bench Press/
Dumbbell Flyes 4 10-15
(Super set) Chest Press/ Dumbbell Press 4 10-15
Pull Overs 4 10-15
(Super set) Lat Raise/ Front Raise 4 10-15
Smith Machine (Narrow Grip) Chest Press 5 10-15

Day 2:

(Super set) 21’s/ Skull Crushers 4 10-15
(Super set) Tricep Rope Pulldown/
Straight Bar Pulldown 4 10-15
(Super set) Hammer Curls/
Seated Bicep Curls 4 10-15
(Super set) Lat Raise/
Seated Reverse Flyes 4 10-15
Seated Row Dropset 13 10 (a killer back routine!)

Day 3:

Squates 5 10-15
(Super set) Leg Extensions/
Prone Leg Curls 4 10-15
Dumbbell Lunges 4 10-15
Calf Raises 4 10-15
(Super set) Shoulder Shrugs/
Arnold Shoulder Press 4 10-15
Smith Shoulder Press 4 10-15

Fitted in when ever I can:

Planks 3 60 secs
Crunches 3 25
Straight Leg Raises 3 25
Weighted V Situps 3 25
Dumbell Side bends 4 10-15


To be honest I mostly only do 8-10 reps per set but it depends on the weight and if I am pushing myself at my limits. My favourite excersises at the moment are the squat - I dont notice until two days later when my legs really feel it. I also like the bench press, I didnt use to but as I am doing more weight. Doing so many supersets seemed daunting at first but I got used to them and they really halp when I have limited time.

Measured myself a bit today. The measurements are a bit sketchy because I don't trust the scale entirely and I wasn't exact to the centimetre when measuring the waist.

I am now about 94 kgs heavy and 90 cm around the waist.

I doubt I can reach the 80-85 kg goal soon because I have way more muscle mass than the last time I was too heavy. If I can stabilize below 90 I'll be satisfied for the time being. But then I have to step up the training and be even better at eating right.
