Members FaultyChildSeat Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 i bike about 20 miles a day, with hills, on a singlespeed road bike. i'm on my feet all day at work. i eat a lot of fish and fruit and drink a lot of tea. i'm not skinny, but i'm not hesitant to say i'm in pretty good shape. You bike 20 miles a day, and eat healthy {censored} like fish and fruit but you arent skinny? Are you deep frying your fruit?That combination would seriously shed like 30 pounds in a week for me.

Members BrendanO Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have a very strict excercise plan consisting of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. I have the same exercise plan, but without the sex, drugs, or rock 'n roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAmazingBlob Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I"m in very good shape.I hit the gym 4 times a week for about an hour to an hour and a half of lifting. Never needed to do cardio, my body fat % hasn't been above 10% in several years.Is there any easy way to find out your body fat %? If I recall correctly there's some fat pinching test and some way that involves submerging yourself in water... Is there anything you can do yourself? I'd be curious to know what mine is.

If I recall correctly there's some fat pinching test and some way that involves submerging yourself in water... Is there anything you can do yourself? I'd be curious to know what mine is.For the water way, you weigh yourself normally, then you weight yourself under water after squeezing air bubbles out of your body hair and everything, and since fat is bouyant you figure out the percentage that way. Also I guess you can use a scanner or something. I don't know how accurate a hand held scanner is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EpiPaul03 Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 How many of you consider yourself in good physical shape? Diet? Exercise regimen? :poke: I think I'm in good shape. Now that football's over, I'll probably start to get back into lifting again. Pretty much eat whatever I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bob the dentist Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Haha I have an abnormally large ribcage too sheeit. I wouldn't be suprised if I was less than 10% bf. I don't know about being crazy strong though.. I guess my upper body is sorta strong for my age/weight. My lower body is really strong though I don't have a big ribcage, but I have something similar...I have a serverely arched back, so much so where if I don't suck in my stomach and just let myself be at rest and dont slouch I look like I have a gut, even though I'm 5'7" 140 pounds with like 10% body fat. So basically I'm skinny as {censored} but I still have to suck in my stomach all day like a fat guy -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Say Ocean Posted November 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 If I was buff I'd look like super man with my chest One of the guys in the ski training program has such a huge 8 pack that when he's wearing a teeshirt the muscle mass bulges out and looks like a pot belly He's 140 pounds and 5'8 or so but leg presses around 700-800 and can do pullups with a 50 pound weight hanging from his waist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RCC Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I hit the gym on average about 4 times a week and currently weigh 148 and am 5'9. However, I smoke like a forest fire and drink plenty of beer. That, combined with a desk/computer job gives me a bit of a gut that I'm not proud of, but...

Members outkastin2g Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 some of you guys are nuts with workouts...lengthwise. the thought of doing anything so lacking in fun factor for an hour + is crazy to me . i opted to do all short duration workouts. ive lost about 85 pounds this year so far doing only HIIT for cardio and circuit style for weights. gonna change my weight plan next month once i get a legit bench setup and go for some heavier stuff just for the record, ive gone as far as 25 minutes with the HIIT, and the weight stuff generally takes 30-40 minutes including warmup and stretching. nothing like knocking that {censored} out and having plenty of free time after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you need to lift weights.There are a few guys in my grade that can do 20+ pullups, but they all weigh like 100 lbs. I weigh 175 but I can still do 6 or 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tsunamijesus Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 just for the record, ive gone as far as 25 minutes with the HIIT, and the weight stuff generally takes 30-40 minutes including warmup and stretching. nothing like knocking that {censored} out and having plenty of free time after HIIT ftw. im about to go do a 10 minute circuit. i just started a little while ago and am a little iffy about shocking my heart with that, with the recent developments. but hey i gotta do it. 25 minutes is really impressive dude. what are your intervals? 30 sprint 30 jog or 30 walk?

Members Introspectre Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I'm in the gym 5 times a week, lifting and doing cardio every weekday. I have a way to go before I would consider myself in that great of shape, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mavesicles Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 A good way to loose weight is to throw up. I don't do it though, I just saw on Dr.Phil that people are really skinny from doing it. BTW I don't watch Dr.Phil, I just happen to catch the part as I was flipping through the channels.
