We should start discussing workout routines too, since i feel out of shape thinking about the food. Here's mine: I haven't worked out in months. I used to treadmill and P90x but school was too busy.

I did p90x for a while but I never gave a shit about my diet so I didn't get any results except for being slightly stronger. Starting today I'm trying power hypertrophy adaptive training with a real diet. Not that it matters how I workout since I'm cutting but I rather lift hard so I don't lose the muscle I do have.

Edit: I love how this thread never dies.

When I was doin p90x I didn't do any of the diet or recovery drink either so that was probably bad. I think I'm going to start running again though. I need to lose some cals.

I don't do cardio. Not that its necessary but I know it's good for overall health. It's just that getting that pump is so much more fulfilling that I rather lift than run.

I stuck to the diet in P90X for the first two months. Lost 27 lbs. and got to my desired weight. The third month I just ate whatever and was able to maintain my weight.

Agreed, but I'm running in a couple half's this fall so I've been running more than lifting lately.

For a great cardio program you gotta try Insanity. Its from the same makers of P90x and its awesome. It's 40-50 mins of straight interval training with small 30 seconds in between. It's real fun.

Saw a commercial for it in LA and it looked rough. I think my cousin is going to use it to get in shape for a trip to vegas this fall.

Damn nicely done! I don't think I could stick with a healthy diet for too long since I'm a sucker for chipotle and other fast food joints.

My friend does this. He says its so intense. He's always dead later in the night. Its even kept him from rolling to the bars some nights.

Yeah i want to start lifting again but i need a gym membership for that. In order for that i need some money. Hopefully this unemployment/fresh out of college shit doesn't last too long.

My wife and I do workouts from Insanity 3-4 times a week. Great cardio workout.

Holy shit, did you get 2 burgers or something? You're an animal AT

Bacon Cheeseburger - 920
w/ Mayo, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Grilled Onions - 123
Regular Fries - 620
and I considered the couple of handfuls of fries they add to the bag as an additional serving - 310

I think I need a nap.

I miss having easy access to my high schools gym. Luckily since I don't weigh that much I was able to get by with free weights and a bench, at least for most workouts. Eventually I'll need to buy some more plates.

I never eat dinner if I have lunch at five guys. I'm still so full by the end of the night that I don't even want it.

Yep, eating that five guys means I'm good for the rest of the day. Plus I stick with the little burgers because I don't want to waste all the frys they give you.

Anyone else prefer the cajun fries?

Edit: keep in mind that I'm 5'4. My normal calorie intake isn't that high to begin with.

Now that I think about it, I've never eaten at Five Guys. I might have to try that for dinner tonight....and pass out immediately afterwards if what you guys are saying is true.


EDIT: You guys are mean!

Speaking of on topic madden! I played my first game in weeks last night and saw a new catch animation I'd never seen:

http://youtu.be/sLIrA7bLQUU

Full on layout catch! Despite doing nothing but bombs to Larry for a season, I never saw this once; he'd always just let it fall beyond his grasp. Have I been super unlucky and everyone else sees this all the time? I always thought it was weird the game never seemed to have players lay out on the deep ball.

Yeah lets all go to vegas and set up xboxes and play madden and gamble
Speaking of Vegas, looks like I'll be going in August for a weekend. Excited to say the least.

I did that shit one and a half times. Its fucking killer and never gets easier.

I recently signed up for this place locally called Pop Physique. Its basically a toned down version of the Cardio Barre stuff. The nice part is I'm the only dude in every class.


If I go to Vegas, I'm not playing xbox

And you guys are cold

I've been kicking around the idea of taking some of my friends to Vegas. Gotta have the right crew to maximize the time.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

I've only seen it when someone is manually controlling the receiver and dives for it.

Last time I was in vegas an acquaintance disappeared at midnight and reappeared in the morning down $ 1500 from an all night casino war bender.

You and Wellie must have made a hilarious sight. (He is like 6'4'' right?)

Yep, right on the head.

I like Five guys a lot because of their fries, but IMO their burgers leave a little to be desired. If they were a little bit meatier I'd be all for it.

And yes, I do eat dinner after five guys.
