DonJon

Feel like Ive cheated on my favourite thread by not coming in here daily as I used to.

Hope everyone is training hard

Competed in Crossfit comp in Australia the other week

Workout # 1

As many rounds for time within 10 minutes.....
5 x 80kg deadlifts
5 x pushups
5 x 24 inch box jumps

I got 11 sets out and was pretty stoked. A few guys did 13 and 14 sets.

These are the 'elite' men who did same workout but 120kg deadlifts and then had to do box jumps with 20kg....most of whom are special forces chaps

Great for conditioning and overall muscle tone.........but there are more effective ways to gain muscle mass though. Depends on what your goals are.

if you wanna spend a couple hundred bucks to work out in your living room gahead..

or you could bang out some push up/pull up/burpee/jump squat type stuff and murder some sprints.
stress gone
money still present

Well......p90x can be had for like $80 on ebay.......and it does help motivate, keeps you to a routine and offers guidance as well........

But I agree.....once you know what you are doing, p90x really isnt necessary. Ab Ripper X is pretty badass though.

megatron

yea i always make fun of p90x like all that stuff is common knowledge. but of course it's not. it is great if you're in need of direction and committed. i wouldn't mind checkin it out.

I swim almost everyday. I'm going to have to switch to walking after dinner once it gets a little cooler.

Now that my kids are back in school, I'm starting my routine again.... weights, running, bike - whatever I can squeeze into my morning at the gym. Plus, working out with friends - makes it so much easier... :thumbup:

megatron

i'm in night school now. work 7-5. class 7-9:45 4 times a week. i'm going to get fat

ZiggyStar

Alright....last August 25 I started posting in here and lost a heap of weight before tour which has continued for the past year....I've probably gone down 2.5 dress sizes and I'm now 53 kgs / 116 pounds. I'm 5"1'.

I'm going to New Zealand in 8 weeks for a holiday....and I want to strip any remaining fat and get tight, toned, compact and fit(ter). I'm pretty skinny now so don't really need to lose weight....just replace it with small muscles so I get nice lines of definition. I do not (and I repeat DO NOT) want to bulk. My frame is too small for bulk.

So I'm going to exercise for the entire 8 weeks and see how much of a difference I can make to my body!

I've started jumping rope....done 4 sessions now over 8 days....fuck it's hard....but feels so good.

And I've also started doing random youtube 5 or 10 minute workouts for abs, arms etc -- try to do a couple of different ones a day. I get bored so like to change it up with different videos.

Which leads me to my question....what is the best butt exercise/s?

The Juggler

squats or lunges....

ZiggyStar

Hmmm.....there seems to be various ways to lunge. What's best?

This way (lunging and then going up and down without moving feet):

Or this way (lunging one leg, feet together, next leg, feet together etc):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_RYVmpWDq4

Or is there no difference?

ZiggyStar

Squats -- should I being doing the toes forward ones....or toes angled outwards? I'm thinking forward but thought I'd double check.

They are great for your butt. Give it really good lift. Good for your back too.

Hmmm....I don't have a bar....and the bulkiness of that chick scares me! :?

Any others?

ZiggyStar

And when people say "do lunges and squats to get a good arse", how many are they talking about doing in each session?

Twenty? Fifty? Hundred?

DonJon

YO team whats going down?

Miss this little thread better start getting back in here.

Cut my toe on the rocks in the surf and had to get stitches. Been no running for me for about a month.....lots of rowing and strength work. Lots of beer too - got a nice little tummy

Feeling pretty out of shape but still getting there 3 days a week

Ziggy yes lunges and squats....even weighted lunges are good. Do say sets on 20 (10 each leg) and do maybe 5-6 sets amongst other stuff. Promise Ill email ya

Yesterday 8mins of pain....2min wallballs/2min 22kg kettlebell swings (alternating 2 sets of each) for number of reps... got 141. Think ive done 200somthing when fit

Another Crossfit Games in 9 weeks so Id better start ramping it up

You better email me, fucker! :x Sorry to hear about your foot.

Thanks for the advice ---- 5-6 sets of 10 each leg. (Meanwhile I'll probably die from doing 1 set of 10 on each leg! haha)

Will jumping rope make me bulky? I've read that it's even better than running/jogging....and a hell of a lot more convenient for me when I get home from work after dark.
