Allee Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Mmm, Ais, what's wrong with Mexican? Chicken, beans, salsa, mexican rice and guacamole, all that good stuff ... yuuuuuuummmmm. I like Fridays. My Friday workout is easy in comparison to the rest of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncermak Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 that's because they replaced fat with muscle! muscle is heavier so less muscle is put on than fat is removed size wise.I would encourage all of you to forget the scales and use a body fat measuring system or simple waist and neck measurements instead. weight is a poor indicator of fitness and strength. Just be sure to use the same method each time and use the same instrument or person to do the measuring so you get a consistent result. women will often maintain the same average weight and men will often gain weight as their fitness levels improve. When you are my size, weight loss is the first key. If I were to stay the same weight but all lean muscle mass, I'd look like the hulk...

Aisling, To get away from Chimis ( one of my faves ) I had to find a burrito place that has this cabo sauce that rocks. Who knows it probably has as much fat as a chimi but it doesn't give you the bloat after. Stay away from the chips too. Seems they are always deep fried. :( Going hiking tomorrow. Ok, Ok. Hunting is pretty close to hiking for me as I rarely get anything. I just make my yearly contribution to Fish and Game. And they are blowing snow clear to the bottom of the mtn today.

carvedog Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Got a nice hike in on Sat. evening. Indian summer beautiful crisp and cold. Split wood for three hours Sunday. Not whole body but good workout. The funny thing is Willy, I did used to live in a van down by the river. Until one day someone stole my solar shower that I would leave out on the rocks. So I moved further out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Todays impromptu workout was: dead lift - 10 reps pull-ups - 10 reps repeat for 30 minutes Wound up doing 8 sets. I'm beat; every single core muscle is exhausted and its 8am. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisling Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 i threw out my back today in a desperation move at clinical. a patient was about to poop all over the floor unless i got her on the commode immediately... so... forgetting all proper body mechanics i just lifted her dead weight up, set her on the commode JUST in time to prevent disaster... paid for it with my back but i think it was worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 You're about 5 months behind schedule!!!! I'm not convinced losing weight for snowboard racing is going to help. There are a lot of REALLY fast fatasses on the circuit. But, the fastest of the fast guys are usually the most "fit".... So, do whatever you need to do to get "fit" and then balance you diet...the body will naturally follow. That said, IMO snowboard racing (as with ski racing) is about power and agility. Endurance was left out when everything went parallel and combined times went south. IMO, the priority is: 1) Food - don't eat like **** (easy enough) 2) Agility - plyometrics (they are boring, but they help when done 2x/day) 3) Power - You're not dead lifting a car, focus on 10-15 reps with HEAVY weight...total body. 4) Cardio - Skip the running, hit the threadmill at MAX incline (15%) for 45 minutes at whatever speed you want (walking, basically). Do that THREE times a week Of course..there is no better practice for snowboarding than snowboarding. Hit the slope, a lot. Ride fast, ride hard.

Allee Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 for the car? Yep, for the car! Very exciting! I do feel bad about not making it to the gym, but not so bad that I didn't have my scheduled day off on Wednesday... I did Pilates and hammered my abs for 30 minutes at lunch to compensate. Today was legs day, and heavy legs too (sets of 5). Legs day bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 So does that mean you're in? If so just post back what you ARE doing. Sure, I'm in.

trailertrash Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 running burns muscle. can you expand on this? it would seem if this were true runners would get slower when training more. thanks john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 can you expand on this? it would seem if this were true runners would get slower when training more.thanks john Sure, think about elite distance runners; they're just a pair of lungs on two skinny legs, while 100 meter runners are much more muscular. Distance runners will do better over longer distances, but there's no way that they can muster the explosiveness to do well in sprints.

ncermak Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 can you expand on this? it would seem if this were true runners would get slower when training more. when competing in endurance sports, the Body requires energy. Once the body utilizes the available energy in th bloodstream, it starts to cut into the reserves. The first to go is the fat reserves, it is more easily metabolized. Once the fats are broken down and converted to energy, the body will begin to eat mucle for energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
