Snake Plissken Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Any you guys have a period of not being able to get yourself to the gym? Since I've been back from my holiday I was seem to have a reason to not go. Having to work or just generally laziness. Any advice on what you guys have done. Not able to get yourself to the gym? Does not compute. If you make it a habit and enjoy what you do, you'll struggle NOT to go. Have a look at what you're doing, focus on what you want to do and you'll kick on just fine.

Jambo_Gaz Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Deffo having a goal helps motivate. First was last months Tough Mudder, next is my beach holiday at the end of this month and that survival of the fittest in October after that. Once they're all done ill need a new goal though!

Creepy Lurker Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I tend to think that people who lack motivation to go to the gym probably either don't have a decent programme and aren't seeing any results because of that or maybe just don't like the gym and should try to keep fit a different way. It isn't for everyone and if you're struggling that much to do it then maybe you should just find something you enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks for the input. It's not a criticism. I just read through your food list there and thought: 1) How on earth do you know if that's a good diet for your gym work? 2) How much gym work are you actually having to do to burn that off? 3) Is it healthy to be eating that amount a day, regardless of whether you're burning it off or not? 4) How the **** do you find time to plan all this and then stick to the plan?

One rest day/week. Also working full time. 3) Why wouldn't it be? Eating less would at best mean maintaining and at worst losing weight. I want to gain weight. If anything, at my current body fat level losing weight would be more likely to impact negatively on my health than gaining. I started my bulk on 3100 calories per day and have adjusted intake based on results. In this instance, I bumped my intake from 3600 to 3700 as I'd slightly lost weight on the former. 4) I don't do that much planning in advance beyond cooking meals in bulk to take to work. If I can't eat something I was planning to, I eat something else. If you knew anything about nutrition, you'd have asked none of those questions. You seem to have assumed that a healthy diet = a weight loss diet for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I just thought that 'that's crazy, but each to their own' was a bit patronising. I don't see this as all that extreme tbh; I love food, so getting to eat a lot's a good thing. I'm actually a lot less rigid than a lot of people in terms of food avoidance, planning in advance, eating a set amount of meals etc. It seems like you've looked at the high number and thought 'that's mental', but I've reached it through trial and error. It's a pretty small caloric surplus. Weight loss diets are only healthy for people who need to lose weight. As far as the Chimp's comment goes, I'd just like to make it clear that my dong's small enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Plissken Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 At the risk of sounding gayer than two men having sex on top of another two men having sex, I honestly don't take any notice of bursd in the gym. I couldn't care less if the gym has tidy bursd or a herd of wildebeest, I only care if the squat rack is free. Anyway, I'm on day five of my bulk. Unlike last year's gluttony, I'm paying more attention to my intake, getting my macros and training hard but also training smart. At the moment I'm shooting for 2700 calories a day, about 400 calories over maintenance, I'm going to take another look at the end of the month. So long as the body fat stays low (c.9-11%) and the weight increases, I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty JTs Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Got a question for those who count calories etc and plan every meal based on protein intake etc. How long does this take to do and then cook your meals?

Also do you cut out anything remotely bad for you? e.g Pizza (which I cant live without) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do it but find myself unable to. Also do you cut out anything remotely bad for you? e.g Pizza (which I cant live without) I aim for at least 1g protein/lb bodyweight and at least 0.4g fat/lb, then fill remaining calories with a mixture of protein, carbs and fat (mainly carbs). I don't plan in advance all that much, and when I'm cooking meals I work out the calories as I go along and adjust the rest of my foods for the day based on what it ends up at. No food is bad for you in moderation. You can have an unhealthy or healthy diet, but foods aren't good or bad outside of that context (with the possible exception of artificial trans fats). Tracking my calories/macronutrients takes no more than 10 minutes of my day and usually 5 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do it but find myself unable to. Also do you cut out anything remotely bad for you? e.g Pizza (which I cant live without) I have pizza on Sundays, I like to have a treat at the end of the week and letting go a little bit on the diet (without going mental) is quite cathartic as it puts me right back in the mood to work out and eat well the following day. People need to stop thinking about food in terms of 'good' and 'bad' and more 'does this meal help me meet/exceed my calorie intake/macronutrients?' Pizza is generally high in calories and fat and so doesn't leave a lot of room for much else in the day, at least for me, there's no way I'd just have one or two slices in one sitting, I want at least half of the ######. For me, Sunday is the day I let myself have the things I've been craving. Because I'm bulking right now, there is some wiggle room for the odd ice cream through the week but most of my calories come from nutritious, unprocessed food. Paying attention to what you eat and aligning it with your goals is the first step towards getting some serious results. I've seen more progress since February than I have in the last five years.

I'll see if anyone wants to go with me, will definitely encourage me. I weigh the calorie dense stuff but normally eyeball lower calorie items like most vegetables. I think that most people would benefit from weighing most things at least to start out with as in my experience people normally underestimate with stuff like carb sources, oils etc. As far as being 100 per cent accurate goes you'll never be 100 per cent accurate, but weighing lets you get as close as possible.

The Mighty JTs Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Cheers for the advice, seen good results since I changed to targeting specific muscles on different days a few months ago. Feel like I have just slowed down a bit so think giving more thought to my diet might help me on the way again. Not that my diet is terrible but it could be a little better!!

BigC Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I still eat pizza, but I get it with 1/4 the normal amount of cheese, and load it with sauce and vegetables. It's still a fair amount if carbs and a lot if salt (even if you don't add any) but it's not the end of the world unless you load it with cheese and fatty meat. I try and have it after a work out as well. Never feel guilty if I have it straight after a 100 length swim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 It's Myfitnesspal. I eyeball most of the less calorie dense stuff, for instance I'm not sitting weighing out 40g spinach or 85g cucumber, and weigh the stuff which might matter like protein sources and higher calorie items like the cereal etc. I've been tracking macros for long enough now that I'm able to eyeball most stuff pretty accurately anyway.. That's actually six meals there, but MFP only gives space for the four. The cottage cheese and banana were between breakfast and lunch and the fruit and sweets that are listed as part of lunch and dinner were actually after work/before training. All the stuff under snacks was one really big meal I had before going to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Nice wan cl, I need to get on that. I'm at a crossroads now where I'm not sure what the **** I'm doing! Completely lost any routine over the summer due to midweek bevvying and all that, found myself doing endurance stuff like cycling for an hour four times a week and maybe a half arsed chest workout somewhere in between. Need to decide what way in going now. Not sure If I should bulk or cut, I'm not overweight but at the same time in nowhere near as muscular as I want to be, just not seeing many gaaaaaaaiiiiinnzzzzz. What do folk do in that situation? What I eat in general is fine (well a massie improvement from a couple of years ago), but I know to progress I need to measure it better. A start would be deciding how many calories I need per day - just no idea if I should cut or bulk Thoughts people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Lurker Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Sounds to me like you should be bulking. If you're not overweight and don't have as much muscle as you'd like then I don't see any benefit to cutting. A good starting point for working out how much you should eat is to use the Harris Benedict equation (you can find it easily enough online), then for a bulk add 10-20% to that. After that you really need to adjust based on how your body actually reacts in the real world, as obviously any equation's only going to give you an estimate.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Think that's the way to go. Never done a proper bulk though and out on weight easily so need to watch. Will miss my cardio sorts me right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 You could still factor in the cardio, just means you'll have to eat even more. I used to do a lot of cardio until I ran a marathon last year, it was a thoroughly miserable experience that put me off running long distances. I went on a massive bulk right after that and put on nearly 10kg, but half of that was fat as I was stuffing my face from sunrise to sunset for three months. After January, I realised that I was starting to get a little bit of a gut on me so I scaled it right back and after a couple of months I whittled off the excess, I then kept it up over the summer and got leaner than I was when I started. My body fat is now under 10% so I've went back on a bulk, but this time I'm watching my calories and macros. So far I'm up just under a kilo, I'm hoping to add about 3kg of lean mass by the end of the year. A tough goal, but possible if I stick to it.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Right going completely against that last post, I've decided to try a proper cut for a month or so, just to test how much control I have over my body. Trial and error and all that. So looking to drop around 8lb in that time and then bulk through winter. Downloaded that app, don't even think I'm going to be able to hit the lower target I've set of 2200 My breakfast of porridge and an orange came to about 230 calories for example. I would only usually eat another two meals so something feels wrong here. It's all so confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Depends how much porridge you have and whether or not that's with water or milk. I end the day with a cup of porridge (90g) with half a cup of blueberries (45g) and a tablespoon and a half of honey - that's 360 cals from the porridge and 90 from the honey, the blueberries are only about 20 so I'm a kick in the arse off 500 calories. I'd be over 700 if I made mine with milk. At it's most basic level, a cut is going 500 calories under maintenance, get that right first and then work on the macros - protein needs to be higher to avoid muscle loss. Dropping 8lbs shouldn't take much more than a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 It was one of the wee boxes of porridge you stick in the microwave and that tells you the exact amount of calories, the app seemed to agree with it. Anyway tea done an I've still got 700 calories to find makes me wonder if I've been under eating or if I'm measuring this wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Took another second off my PB for the 2000m row. Down to 7.09. I've now lost a stone since new year, but I think that the actual fat loss is about 19lb with a 4-5lb gain in muscle, based on body fat %. Might have a look at my fitness pal as so far I've just been following general healthy eating rules, like cutting out sugar, reducing carbs and eating less processed food and more vegetables. Although it's working I have a feeling I'll get to a plateau fairly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Have been taking a reading on one of those machines at the gym that measures weight/BF to just keep an eye on overall trend. I know they're pretty inaccurate etc but have just wanted a general guide to how I'm getting on. Have taken one a month from June till tonight. Have apparently dropped from 18.7% BF to 14.1 but have give or take maintained my weight at around 76kg. That probably feels about right I imagine I'd be able to drop BF more quickly if I seriously cut but then I don't want to lose muscle mass. Would you guys suggest I keep on doing what I've been doing? I'm quite happy at losing 1% bf a month while increasing lifts (a bit) and maintaining weight, but I have nothing to gauge that against. This is all subject to the caveat that these machines might be so wildly full of shit that all of the above is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a video a few pages back that covers that question but the main point to take from it is that you should increase your protein intake to prevent the loss of muscle mass during a cut. Good going on the shift in body fat, while things like that can have a fair margin for error, a 4.6% reduction is good going. Muscle weighs more than fat so it's entirely possible your weight hasn't changed because you've put on muscle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have significantly upped my protein intake over the last few months, after some wise words on here. I've also realised that it's (allegedly) 4.6% over 3 months and not 4 - late night posting = difficulty with simple thinking. Quite happy my weight is constant for that very reason as I'm definitely adding muscle and strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
