Welcome to the chamber 2...

[Deathscythe]

Time has finally come for me to get back in the gym.

is finally back in the gym. I have pictures to put up shortly. I want to re-encourage people to get back into shape, and who better to do it than one of the mods right?

So here we go.

Week 0





This is the beginning for me. Not a bad place to start, but if you've seen me before, you know this is a definite letdown from where I was before.

i shall join you......

i'll do the whole before/after stuff too.

wedding is just under 7 months away, so that gives me 5 months to kick my own ass.

i currently weigh 295lbs, end goal is 225lbs, so 70lbs in 5 months..... wish me luck.

If you want to lose weight and be challenged, Take the insanity workout set from Steve.

I can guarantee that you will get close if not past that.

i might jump into this thread this go round.... but for the flip side... bulking up.

[Deathscythe]

That's fine.

I'm going to possibly make branching threads for all of us. Commitment is necessary though.

Getting bigger is pretty simple for the two of us. Him going in the other direction will take work and eating habits that are disciplined.

Just started back up this morning. Want to get back down to 150 from about 160 and get cut again.

i already have the P90x dvds..... but we'll see. for the 1st month i'll slowly get into it and once i'm feeling good then i'll go crazy with something like P90x or Insanity.

idk man, when u have a screaming metabolism its a little more dificult.. would be help for people built like me and rob and have a following would be more motivation for me. and keep me honest.

John has put so many things on here about diet. I think for you, a simple cardio regimen and a changed diet would do that.

I used to be that way. But after my knee surgery, things changed. I still have a high metabolism, but not to the rate you guys do. I was around 165 until I got hurt.

There was one other time back in '08 when I was that light. Then I got introduced to weightlifting. And haven't looked back since.

Start off slow. It'll become an addiction to you. Then it will be fun.

Yup that's exactly what im doing. Rode the bike with moderate resistance for 45 minutes this morning. Good start to. He day.

my thoughts exactly.

i need to start of with eating/drinking healthier....... then add walks around the neighborhood...... then an excersize routine that includes stretching...... then join a gym to seriously do work.

I can do the bike no prob. That's actually fun. Just makes your day better.

Awesome.

[rallycobalt06]

yea so i have a plan..... mentally....... now i just got to execute it physically.

might also play basketball a couple nights a week at some local gyms, cardio really seems to work best for me.

[I XsTaT1c I]

Im pretty sure im SOL

What do you mean by that?

Basketball is a great physical activity for cardio. Stop and go movement so quickly is what the body needs to be able to shed quickly.

this might sound odd..... but i've seriously about doing route running and having my brother pass me a football and find out what workouts they do at the combine.

not only do i want to lose a ton of weight, i want to be in the best damn condition i can be in.
