alrite, lately ive been getting more and more out of shape and my eating habits have gotten worse and worse, i live in tha middle of nowhere and the nearest gym is like an hr away, my sleeping habits are horrible but i sleep alot. lately ive been jogging as soon as i wake up, just until i get tired and then doing stuff on the total gym(lol) for a bit.
none of this really seems to do anything with the way i eat so help me out, be my personal trainer!

I post nonconstructive piss

- Eat small, frequent, balanced meals (with protein!).

- Drink lots of water

- Avoid processed and refined food as much as possible and eat whole food instead.

- Keep your Potassium:Sodium ratio high, ideally 5:1 or so, or at least as high as possible/practical.

- Take a quality multivitamin everyday.

- Sleep lots

Also, maybe try to get a more comprehensive workout in.. for example you could do a lot of bodyweight exercises in addition to the total gym, and move that entire workout to another point in the day where you're more well-fed. Then you could do your jogging either in the morning or after your de facto weight workout as much or as little as you desire.. you really have to go on feeling there. If you're getting tired and fatigued throughout the day for example, you'd obviously cut back a bit.

alot of junk, lots of pizza,steak, subs and chinese food. its hard to give a perfect example cuz i jus eat whatever.
i dont have any problem with a massive diet change id actually prefer it. water is the only thing i drink as of late.

im tryin to think of a routine i can follow every day to help myself make it a habit.
so far ive got... wakeup-run-chores-total gym-eat somthing with my multivita-4hr poker session-situps-push ups- eat somthing again-?
is there some sort of schedule i should focus on for eating habits, like a small meal every 3 hrs?
thx

Ok so this is strictly about diet, so I won't even mention working out.

If you want to lose some pounds quickly, feel great about yourself for a while and then go back to your old ways and gain it all back (and then some), sure, why not. Then again if you want to change your lifestyle permanently, get fit and stay fit, you might want to try a more gradual approach.

What I did was lose 1 - pick up 1. As in, get rid of one bad habit and start a good one, and stick to them! This was more than 10 years ago, but as I recall my first month objective was to stop eating baked shit. Donuts, cakes, pies, rolls, tarts and other shit, no more, ever. At the same time I started eating salads every day. Not necessarily as a main course, but making sure I get my greens and veggies every day. The next month lose another one and add another one. Keep doing it until you're not a fat bastard.

Here is a sick workout i found on www.rosstraining.com, which is an awesome site that everyone should check out.

http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/deckofcards.html

You can use any exercises you want.

For example
spades- burpees
clubs- chin ups
hearts- push ups
diamonds sit ups

Just pull out a card and do that many reps for the ecercise that matches the suit, then pull out the next card etc. Time yourself and try to beat your time next time you do it or if you're not in good enough condition you can do as many cards as possible for half an hour and then try to do more cards each time until you can do all the cards.

I saw it when the thread was still alive and thought I commented on it at the time, but the 2 sickest things in here are the explosive bench press "throw" (albeit stupid, IMO), and snatches from the hang with a ridiculous amount of weight. Lots of good stuff in here though from an explosive/athletic standpoint.

i would advise against most people trying the bench press throws at home, or even at the gym with a spotter. You would probably get kicked out real fast.

Update on my progress:

lazy as fuck. sorry everyone. lol. i plan on working out starting thursday, then a weekend day, then mondays. Im sick atm and my tues and wednesdays are the busiest days of my week.

Im doing the famous couch to 5k running plan (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)

Today was the first day of week 2. Holy fuck I thought I was toast, but I made it.

For anyone wondering, I'm about 5'11, 202.8 lbs this morning. I dont eat right, and I drink too much beer. I'm actually really scrawny, i just have a huge beer belly.

<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

so today was back day, and I started with deadlifts. After my last set I was going to rack my weights and I felt something trickling down my shin. Fuck. I caught my shin on the way down and it was bleeding pretty good.. blood from my shin down to near my sock. I felt kinda bad because were it someone else, I'd be pretty pissed off (I'm big on cleanliness). Anyway, I washed up real good in the bathroom, got a few band-aids on, and sprayed down/wiped off the bar as best as I could.

I think I'm going to wear long pants or shin guards whenever I do deadlifts from now on.

Also, to the person that does lat pulldowns (because you are clearly not strong enough to do legit pullups), yet proceeds to use the whole weight stack and somehow turn the exercise into a full body momentum swing then allows the weight to crash down: you are a pathetic human being. And stop walking around like you have lats; you don't.

Yea you have to wear pants when you deadlift/clean

as someone said "we don't want you leaving your DNA on the bar"

my shins are pretty banged up from deading

Yea, I love that lat pulldown guy too, violently swinging his body, do a fucking row genius. Also, t-bar rows much better.
