The not too serious get fit thread

[kopfjäger]

Well.....one probably has to work out more often to maintain peak fitness.....




.....at your age....

Hey...What the...Wait a Damn minute...uh...oh yeah.

Well, it's official, in less than 2 months I've lost over 20 pounds, have gained cardio fitness, and I'm due for new bloodwork (just to check it) next month.

Thanks again for letting me use this thread for semi-public humiliation and motivation! 

Awesome!     Keep it up!

I feel off the bandwagon Thursday - Sunday.  I didn't overeat or over drink, just didn't get to work out due to driving all over and family crap.  Tomorrow I am back to get fit.

I saw my nephew Kyle over the weekend who is a RAW power lifter for the Iowa State University Weight Club.  Here is a Youtube of him and his team that I watched live a few months ago:

He is in the 165 lbs class
@ 1:40 he squats  418lb
@3:48  benches 218 (worst event)
@6:50  dead lifts 502
@7:09  dead lifts 524

Don't laugh at the spotters' mullets - it is old school lifting and older school gyms.

That is the Rule in competitive Power Lifting.

The Deadlift is not an Olympic lift.

I exercised for the first time in several weeks since i had over worked my bad knee.

It was rough, I'm beating a head cold and we went out in 50 windy weather.

Started with some jumping jacks, pushups, several types of crunches.

Then we ran, about 2 miles + or - and constant elevation changes.

I'm a little sore, tired and still sick....

Assuming your body already kicked the infection and it's just damaged tissue healing, working out may help you feel better faster.  I know that when I was working out at the end of my cold/flu/whatever it was, my metcon sucked, but I did feel a thousand times better after working out.

Great work on getting back at it! 

[NAKID]

I did feel better when I was done, but now I kinda feel like shit again.

Gonna try and get to bed earlier tonight and see if I feel better tomorrow.

I would like to get back out there tomorrow, but we have plans for cross training on Thursday...

I woke up with my back hurting in ways I haven't felt in years.  I can only guess that I did something yesterday at the gym, but it felt fine there, and all day after.  Now, not so good.   Workout today:  Lie on couch - 5 hours + 200 remote control curls.

What did you do to yourself?  What was the workout?
