What about hopscotch?

HIIT Hopscotch will now be a thing.
Tabata style.
Oh, wow! That sucks. When I drink, I don't really eat anything at all. Just enjoy a beer or three
You swine. It's clearly a hamburger patty with an egg in the middle.
who the hell fries an egg in uncooked ground beef? LOL .. that's what it looks like.

wtf. you people have boring cooking skills. Fried egg in ground beef is fantastic.
Then you aren't drinking anything I'd consider a beer.
I bet he drank Michelob Ultra.

What's a good post workout meal (supper) that is nearly instant, isn't a protein shake, and doesn't taste bland (grilled chicken, tuna)?
Eating Stag chili right now...probably not really idea at ~29g fat, 44g carb, 32g protein.
Oh, and although I am eating mostly low carb, I'm guessing I shouldn't be concerned about keeping my post workout meal low carb, since I'm depleting my glycogen stores anyways?

You aren't really going to get all 4 of those together. A meal that's:
Good for you
Not bland
Not a shake
Instant
You'll find 2 or 3 of them together, but not all 4 man. Sack up and cook.
I actually enjoy cooking, but the last thing I want to do after a workout is spend 20-30 minutes in the kitchen preparing a proper meal. I want to get home and eat asap.
Maybe I could make a stew in a slow cooker and keep that for the week? Maybe I could make my own high-protein chilli...hmmmmm.
You could try the Silverhydra meat slop - www.silverhydra.com/2011/10/meat-slop/
I make a huge batch of the stuff and keep it my fridge for when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to cook. You can spice it however you like and it tastes surprisingly good. I usually throw in some bell peppers, mushrooms, a few onions and some indian herbs/spices (chili powder, masala etc.) and it comes out great.

Tomato+egg scramble.
That seems like a good idea. What's with the "Due to no simmering of the meat, and instead boiling, minimizes Advanced Glycemic End-product (AGE) content." clause? Boiled beef tastes terrible...you need to simmer it to make it palatable. Am I killing the nutritional value if I simmer the whole thing for 1-2 hours?
I make a great chili with turkey, beef, and chicken and kidney beans. High protein, decent nutritional profile all around. Lasts me a week for like $15, but I make a big slow cooker full.
Ever heard of the Pareto Principle? It's an idea in business that states that 80% of the results comes from 20% the effort you put into a particular activity. The final 20% of the results take up 80% of the effort. The Pareto Principle, in general, seems to apply to more than just business. When it comes to fitness, it definitely applies.
What I'm saying is.. Focus on the big things that produce the majority of the results instead of trying to micro manage the small things (like advanced glycemic end, whatever that is) that produce very little results.
Just cook the meat however you like. It's hardly going to matter in the long run.

Great post. Qft.
Week 1 Day 2 complete. I screwed up and put 135 on one side of the bar and 140 on another and didn't catch my mistake until the last set. No way was I doing everything over again, so I just chalked it up to a mental error. Because it was just 5 pounds difference I didn't really notice it. Frustrating.
Leftovers or something you made before hand and just have to warm up.
Make a ton of food and save it for the instant meals.
.. whoops someone beat me too it.

Should I lift weights if I am very poor and cant afford any protein. my caloric intake is about 1000 a day and most of that is brown rice. :é

I love omelettes, egg white omelettes in particular. Man you can add pretty much ANYTHING to it and be really creative - plenty of protein and low in fat (depending on whats inside). Fairly quick to make.

Whelp, I've started doing leangains to really dig deep with my weight loss. I'm a bit worried about training whilst fasted as it's an hour class and I'm usually tired to the point of utter exhaustion on some days. I guess I'll just make sure to keep my fluids up and eat like a monster. Hopefully eating 1-1.5h after training isn't too long to wait.
Hey Fitness-GAF. Decided to get things going on the exercise front after being mostly sedentary in my first two years of university (graphic design, ack).
Running has a tendency to kick my ass, and I get winded a lot faster than I probably should. I'm trying to commit to running at least 3km a few times a week, but I was wondering about the effectiveness of other cardio activities like stairs and/or jump rope in comparison. I'll run if I have to, but it'd be nice to vary things up a bit with activities that are a bit more bearable.
Thanks!

You have bigger concerns than if you should lift weights.

Had an awful workout today. Was looking forward to Squats and Deadlifts all day and then Failed my entire last set of squats and popped something on my final set of deadlifts.
It sucks when you're pumped then end up having a shitty workout but I'm pretty sure that happens to every single person who has ever worked out for a long time.
Just rerun it later. After basketball season? *shrug*

So here it is:

Sorry I know it's not the perfect camera angle but that was the only spot I could stand my phone on.

Just saw this on facebook:

I remember seeing that guy in something I think was called the "Body for life"-fitness program (aimed at overweight and fat people).
The recommended diet was high protein but not necessarily low carb, and it suggested you did 3 gym sessions a week in addition to 3 HIIT cardio workouts for fat burning purposes.
Abdominal workouts will not help with your gut. That's all diet.

Petrie pretty much nailed it. If you do want to work on your abs for when you have lost a bit of your gut i like doing a variety of planks. Pretty damn simple and you can do them anywhere.
You can't spot reduce. Work out your whole body, do cardio and clean up your diet.
