Way to go Chuchnit! I got my arse back in the gym last September just to have to quit 2 months ago due to my medical conditions. Felt good while it lasted though, lol. The trick now is staying with it.

Staying with it isn't a problem for the first few months granted I can keep my hours at the office where they are. My problem is that I get so darn into it that I burn myself out. I have the mindset that if it doesn't hurt, I'm a big pussy. Sometimes I go too hard without giving my body a week off. Then on top of diet I get real tired and totally burnt out. I'm gonna try and just keep it casual this time so I don't wear myself out. :thumbsup:

I used to bring protein powder to work for two of my 8 daily meals :laughing: Got up at 0430 and lifted every day, different muscle groups each day. Got down to about 12% body fat, then... crippled ... now? ummm.. husky LOL

Actually sat on the universal machine yesterday though! huh.. it's a start dammit :laughing:

What happend?

Going from a PT nut to a vegetative state is not good at all. I try and just keep busy around the yard and stuff for my "exercise." Last time I tried doing pushups and crunches everyday, took a week before I was laid up for two :(

Was surprised how quickly the body remembers though. Thought I would be doing sets of 20 for a few days... jumped right up to sets of 50 by day 3. Now if I was stupid enough to try doing them again I would probably be winded at 20reps lol

Yuck. I used to drink so many protein shakes that I would prolly gag at the smell of muscle milk, muscletechn, or that other brand I used that was so cheap. Dpsnutrition.net FTMFW!!


It was a long walk to that machine. Just getting there was a start, LMAO. J/k Maddawg :)

Yes going from hardcore activity to nothing is almost worse than never doing anything. In all fairness a severe case of shin splints hampered me for a while. Then life grabbed me by the nuts and took my time away.

fellow lifters up in this bitch :)

I hit it hard about 5 days a week. Leg day squat till I puke, gotta get serious with the cardio again though. get it chuch!

Rofl @ Muscle Milk... Every time I see that stuff on the shelf I start laughing (insert phallic humor here).

My problem seems to be the opposite.... not doing anything makes me skinny.... I used to work out to gain mass, but the past to years have had me in the "fudge it" room. Never got in to supplements.... my diet consisted of high protein foods like canned tuna and chicken, which for some reason always looks and tastes the same. A little hotsauce fixed that right up. :thumbsup:

My walk around weight is 155-165, and the biggest I ever got no matter what was 178... then I'd poop and lose 5lbs.... j/k.

I tried working out twice last year, and couldn't get into it again.... Tried running and felt retarded. Something tells me I'm going to need a health problem to get my ass in gear again. :thumbdown: Big ups to ya' Chuck, pound those weights so you can challenge Splave to a wrastlin' match... :laughing:

Yuck, leg day :P I usually skip those :laughing: I get sick everytime I do legs. Literally throw up. It could be due to the fact that I try and superset legs to get it over with.

Musclemilk is actually an ok protein shake, but its a little high in sugar and calories. I have to buy and drink low low calorie protein to be able to loose weight. Crap I can't remember the name of what I used to buy.

Oh I gotta get me some more crack-in-a-can. NO-Xplode. That stuff gets me so amped up that I gotta build my tolerence to it before taking a full dose. Otherwise I puke.

Oh and I have about ZERO wrestling skills. I gots a little bit of BJJ, but guys who wrestled growing up always gave me fits. Their base is just so darn strong. Plus I take it since Splig is from NY, he prolly wrestled since he was five, rofl. Plus he is a giant!!

I was drinking BSN protein. About the only protein shake that tasted good to me. My problem wasn't trying to lose weight but gain weight as I weigh 155 when not working out and about 165 when working out.
