STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

Hmm, how should I go about doing HIIT?

I usually do 15 incline, 3-4 mph on the treadmill before I lift just to warm my body up. I wanted to start really incorporating cardio since I never do it.

For 20 mins:

30 secs running
1:30 jogging
30 running
1:30 jogging
And so on, and so on

I would be doing that on an elliptical...is that sufficient cardio post workout?

20 mins is pretty long for HIIT. i like doing it for 15 mins. i'd also cut the jogging to 1:00 and running (90% effort) to 20 secs. if you can, do this on a track instead of the elliptical.
 
238 from 320
Had a baby cheat day last night and tonight going to Golden Corral. Idc idc idc brb all you can eat wings brb soft chocolate chip cookies
400

Can't wait for your next post talking about water rention again :lol
 
Thanks, I'm estimating at my current rate I can be at 200 or less at my 1 yr mark in July or August. Then I wil be evaluating how thick I am and how much of a bulk I want to do.
You don't need to bulk at all. I'd say at 200 you be slightly lean under all the excess skin. From that point your goal should be to start toning,. You can bulk if you want, but know that fat will also be gained. Not sure you want to gain more fat after losing so much. People look bigger when leaner so I'm sure a 200 or 185 pound lean you would be ight.

I want to add thickness to my chest, and when I say bulk I'm not talking eating 4000 calories I'm talking like 200 over maintenance. And what do you mean by toning isn't that essentially cutting still? I mean using bodybuilding rules the only way my muscles can grown is from excess calories and the only way to becoming more defined in a sense is from lowering body fat. Wouldn't eating at maintence but continuing to lift as usual just maintain what I have and at most just give strength gains? I mean my logic could be wrong

Right now I can see the excess skin and the hard to get rid of fat(especially your chest). Once you reach 200, lower the carbs, do lean based reps(I like 15,12, 10, 8), since you mentioned your chest, diamond push ups and dips will be your friend in toning your chest so your skin and fat don't sag.
 
Progress slowly being ruined.... :{

In the winter was up to 187 at my max was really hoping to work toward 190. Had football saturday then gym then soccer sunday morning. Weighted myself after soccer....down to 174lbs. Ate had a protein shake and re hydrated back up to 181...but last week i was walking around at 184lb.

I need to learn how to eat through the pain :lol

Sidebar: Field turf sucks. We had a guy red carded early in the second half...we lost 3-0....the left side of my leg is missing 20% of my skin thanks to the turf. I woke up this morning and my boxers were stuck to the abrasions on my leg...they like were pussing over night....hurt so bad to peel it off. Can't sit down today without pain....eff this
 
going to incorporate the timing schedule with my normal chest routine tomorrow morning :smokin

The timing won't work well with simple chest lifts since they don't fully utilize your whole body to do them. Might not be bad for a burnout but that's not really the intent with these I don't think.
Gonna try tomorrow.

Haha good looks. Let us know how it goes. First time I tried it I nearly fell down a flight of stairs trying to leave the gym.
 
Need a spotter... badly :{

Anywho, got my bench up to 205 this morning, my top 1MR was a year ago, 50lbs ago lifting 235. I'll be hitting that shortly :smokin
 
Back in the gym this morning!!!! Did legs. Felt amazing.

But all I kept thinking about is eating my lunches. Lolol

400

400


Up to 196.6 lb. Progress baby!!!
 
Why not just ask anyone that's in the gym with you? I normally just ask someone else that's also benching to spot me in between their sets.

You know you're not going as hard as possible if you aren't lifting a weight that may kill you on the last set :lol
 
I get a better workout by myself. I've noticed if I go with a buddy we end up taking a lot and it slows me down a lot. I prefer by myself. And if you go around the same times everyday then you see a lot of the same people so its not awkward to ask for spots.

I used to out Vaseline on my legs when I played on turf. The friction wasn't as bad that way.
 
Back on track today.

THIS... did it on flat bench today... felt a burn, but not sweating or fatigued like it was designed to do... got a great pump out of it though :D
