Hall Of Fitness

I was wondering where to get my protein for our here on my deployment back in June. I contacted TrueProtein.com and got some great deals. Guys all I ask is you check them out. Their prices are VERY competitive and unlike alot of the 'big box' supplement makers, when you order 5 lbs of Protein with Chocolate flavor, you get 5 lbs of protein, THEN they add in the cholcolate flavor. This give your more protein for your dollar. Use Discount code JNR490 to save 5% off your entire order and 10% if you order over 16 lbs. Again all I ask is you check it out. The site may not be 'flashy as hell' but in the world of fitness when did shiny become a requirement? J

I stumbled upon this website while looking for new lifts, and was encouraged to make a topic about it. It gives a description of each muscle group as well as exercises to isolate them. Seemed pretty helpful to me. Exercise and Muscle Directory

Thought I would start this on here for the members who are active. Just post what you did that day, it is not meant to be a show off topic, just a daily running log for everyone. For example: Today 500 calories on the elliptical 250 Crunches 50 Push ups

I've recently started working out again to try and get back in shape. I'm not really "out of shape" but could benefit from gaining some muscle and getting back to where I used to be cardio-wise. A little background: I ran cross country my junior and senior year of high school and track my senior year. I haven't ran since until this past month I also worked out heavily the second semester of my senior year. This was at the close of cross country season - 6'0 and 155. I've never had a lot of body fat but I was at a ridiculously low percentage at this point. I started the semester with my bench press and power clean 1RM at 135 and ended with 170 on bench and 190 on power c…

Pretty cool vid. This was in back in march. Been training since. Went from 230lbs to 213lbs in an attempt to do a bodybuilding show 2 weeks after this, however I didn't do as well as i had hoped so i said forget the bodybuilding for now. Bench press I was like wtf is going on, but it was def the dropped weight Dan kyser won 1st place overall btw

Decided I wanted to burn off a little fat I gained from Freshman year. Started debating if the supplements or my diet was causing me to see a lack of results. Old routine (6 months, from 180 to 160): -Emerge Pre-workout + appetite suppressor -Take Five Slow Release Protein (Workout) -Whey -Breakfast without carbs (The last month of this routine, I began replacing a meal a day with fruit/vegetable juice. Dropped ~5 lbs in that month.) Began more weightlifting, instead of mostly cardio and core, and switched up my routine. I have definitely continued to gain muscle, but it doesn't seem that I'm converting the fat, just that I'm putting muscle under it, mostly around t…

OK, so here is where I am at. I have been working out pretty steadily for 20 years, I never go more than a week or so off. I lift 3-5 days a week and cardio 3-4 times a week. I either run 4-5 miles or do something like an eliptical for an hour. I'm 6'3 and about 215 pounds, give or take, so not too much fat. My body is still in OK shape for pushing 40. I have normal aches and pains but nothing I can't get through. I don't take any medication at all, and the only supplement I use on and off is Creatine. I drink 1/2 - 1 gallon of water almost every day. I want to start pushing more endurance. I am deploying next week and one of my goals is to be able to run (jog)…

I know I'm on a roll tonight of post but me and my friends started lifting weights and we are addicted now we will lift for hours and I love it but I'm getting a lot bigger and quick I'm getting stretch marks pretty bad do any of yall have some home remedies our any type of location or anything to help this?

Do you have a favorite food recipe? Post it up! Here is one of my favorite breakfast recipes : Oatmeal, cottage cheese, egg, banana pancakes 1/2 cup oatmeal (Quaker oats 100% natural whole grain) 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese (Friendship 1%) 3 whole eggs 1 banana Grind all the ingredients in a food processor minus the banana. Mash the banana into the mixture. Pan fry the mixture with coconut oil (the MCT oil is an added bonus) into 4-6" round cakes. Makes 4-5 cakes depending on size. I top the cakes either with honey or peanut butter but taste great with nothing else added. A buddy of mine likes to add coco to the mixture. Good sources of protein, ca…

Powerful read, another reason why I cannot take crossfit seriously. https://medium.com/health-fitness-1/97bcce70356d

So I used to be in fantastic shape during my military career until I destroyed a couple of discs during my tour in Iraq. Here is a pic of me before my back started falling apart And then I got slammed with a bunch of anti-anxiety / depression meds for ptsd, as well as opiods for my back pain. I don't think the drinking helped either. Well I'm going back to the gym this week to get back to where I was. Sometimes it's hard because I can't get too aggressive at the gym, but we'll see and I'll post progress here as we go.

I was going to resurrect my old thread but since I'm starting at about the same place, ill just start a new one. Starting weight 299 as of July 5th BF% 33 I did a juice only diet for 4 weeks. Lost 22 lbs. Did the 7 small meals a day diet, gained 10 of that right back. I started Intermittent fasting. Eating 2 meals a day within a 6 hour window. 2000 calories 200+ g of protien 100 carbs (only on heavy lift days) 50g fats I'm 268 another month later Total lost in 2 months 31lbs BF is at 28.3% Ill be updating weekly from here.

So I've decided to get back into the gym after awhile. I started using the JEFit app on my ipod/Note 2, it's a great app that has tons of submitted workout profiles, you can also make your own, it tracks your progress, suggests where you should be hitting after X weight. It's pretty awesome. Also it syncs your data to their website so whether you use your ipod one day or your android device another day it'll all be up to date. I work out 5 days a week which usually looks like Mon: Chest & Tricepts Tue: legs and Abs Wed: Back And Abs Thu: Biceps and shoulders Fri: Run day Sat: rest Sun Rest. So monday: Bench Press 5 sets of 6x125 lbs Incline bench 3 sets 8x95lbs D…

November of 2012 I was fed up with my inactive lifestyle. I was drinking a case of beer a week and over eating at every meal. I decided I was going to start to run again as well as do mild weight training and put more thought into my diet. I also registered for a Warrior Dash that was in August 2013. This would help motivate me to make a change. My goal was to be able to run this in a decent time. A few weeks into my running and my knees were in constant pain. A soreness that bothered me all day every day. February 2013 I was diagnosed with degenerative joint disease in my knees. I supplemented my diet with Fish Oils and Glucosamine Chondroitin. After a couple months thes…

I needed new pair of running shoes badly. I have a high arch and neutral pronation. I tried on a few different brand shoes and bought a pair of Brooks Ghost 6. The Ghost 6 fit my arch the best and has very good comfort without excessive padding. What really set this shoe apart is the flexibility of the sole at the toe area. Flexing my foot, standing on my tip toes, there is very little resistance from the shoe. This is the first shoe that I experienced this with. I'll update in month or so after i have +40 miles on them.

Ok so this might get a bit long winded. So everyone believes that their metabolism is what keeps them skinny or fat, which to an extent is true, but in reality what you eat is. In simple terms Calories In > Calories burned = Fat Gain Calories burned > Calories in = fat loss Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. During this complex biochemical process, calories in food and beverages are combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function. Even when you're at rest, your body needs energy for all its "hidden" functions, such as breathing, circulating blood, adjusting hormone levels, and gro…

Now before I began let me say that everyone is different and this may not work for you, but is my personal experience. So I have my first bodybuilding comp in 4 weeks. I've known about it since Jan. February-weight 240lbs-20%bf -Was trying to eat every 3 hours -had all my food in Tupperware hauling it around with me. -I worked out heavy weights 3 days a week ending with 30-45min cardio -I did lose maybe 2lbs for the whole month, but nothing noticeable March-weight 238lbs -Ran across the Hodge twins on you tube (hilarious vids btw) -I began skipping breakfast and lunch(eating 1 big meal , protein shake, and maybe some leftovers)-sleep repeat -1 hydroxy cut pill at wo…

With the new year i know the gym is about to be packed with a slew of people trying to get back into the gym. Its a good thing, but the key is to stay motivated and not lose track of your goals. I've far surpassed my expectations in the gym and find it hard to focus these days and wonder what is the point. But i still drag myself in after an 8hr day and find friends ive met along the way to boost me through whatever i may be doing that day. So for all the rejuvenated gym goers heres a list of things that may help you stay on track. 1.Friends or network of people you frequent at the gym 2.Music 3.Some sort of tracking -if you run i would suggest the Iphone nike+ app(Music …

I'm looking for a good routine to do while I'm deployed. I was looking to do a 4 on 3 off ( running with 1 cake day). I need a good upper body/lower body routine to do. I'm looking for something realitivley easy to learn so I can just hop into it. I have full access to a gym so machines wouldn't be limiting. I'm not looking to get huge but I'd like to get fit while I'm here and continue it on to after I'm back.

taken from another forum so i can't take responsibility for how great these are. Choc, PB protein bulk bars 3 cups oats 1/2 cup PB 1 cup whole milk 5 scoops choc whey protein 2 whole eggs 2 tablespoons milled flax seed Mix all ingredients in a bowl until it becomes a good sticky consistency. Pour into a greased baking dish (I prefer glass) and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Don't ask me about serving size or nutritional info because I wasn't born with a vagina... Just pucking eat em. They're amazing!

First a little back ground info. 5' 3" with weight fluctuating between 150 and 160. Fat content normally between 10 and 15 percent. I have an auto immune disorder called Lupus so I workout 5 to six days a week, eat extremely heathy, and get blood work done every 6 weeks. I've used BSN cellmass for years and my creatine levels were always around .90 mg/dl. For the past two months I've been using Six Star Nitrition creatine x ^3 from walmart and after a 16 hour fasting blood work my creatine level was 1.17 mg/dl. For reference the lab references normal levels between .63 and 1.13. I can't really say I've gained any weight from it because I've been taking 200 mg of Megace …
