[townbidness]

I gotta stop being lazy and do cardio but good lord I HATE it.

I was the same way. What I did was for the first week ide do 5 minutes after my workouts then the next week ide up it to 10 then each week ide up it 5 min. I worked my way up to 25-30min or I just set a number of calories to be burned.

Go play basketball. I play during the week and run sprints on the weekends. When you do something you like it makes it easier.

Going to Los campeones tomorrow with my girl to check it out. It's more a oly/powerlifting gym. Should be fun. That's her gym and I can go for free so that's that.

cardio is a waste of time imo (unless you're conditioning your body/heart for endurance). Better incorporate that into your lifestyle....no need to be a hamster. Besides, its been proven lifting burns more fat than cardio at the end of the day.

Cardio a waste of time?

I want to bench 225+ but I don't wanna be out of breathe going up a flight of stairs. I know it's not to that extent but you get my point

Then go up the stairs 10 times for 4 reps. Not every time, but you get my point.

I see people do this at the train station in the AM. I'm trying to wake up and dudes be running stairs in their work clothes lol.

 

[mplsdunk]

whatever. Not going to knock anyone for exercising. We all knock out 100+ pushups at work throughout the day.

I use to do this in the server room at work.

 

[mplsdunk]

Every time we clear the board at work (no food to cook) we all do them.

 

[doxen5703]

Second time deloading on OHP. For some reason, I can't get past 110. Weak *** shoulders. Anyone have any tips on how to get over the hump? I know it's not big boy weight but I'm trying.

When I worked retail I'd be doing pushups in the stock room and practicing goblet squats with shoe boxes lol.

 

[jewbacca2]

Co-sign on push ups, squats, and stretching in the office

I quickly learned to just ignore people who would look at my funny

 

[stuntman mike]

i have my own office and i don't do any of that in there
still need to get that stand up desk though. hopefully before 2017.

 

[everysingletime]

I have my own office too. I probably should be doing those kind of stuff, but I just don't want to sweat at work. Don't want to feel sweaty and dirty and then all of a sudden a medical or psychiatric emergency breaks out

What I will do is that on the days when it's quiet and I have someone sharing the office with me, he'll keep watch while I go upstairs to the gym and workout/play basketball

There was one night when all 3 of my friends and I had a coworker who can keep watch on the floor for us. We'd all take our lunch break at the same time and play 2 on 2 for an hour or so

Those days are rare though.

Whats everyone chest workout looking at? My chest and shoulders are prob my weakest so I focus on those a lot.

for chest I do:

incline bench

decline bench

incline dumbbell press

incline dumbbell flies

machine chest flies 

 

[tomdiginson]

I'd bring chairs and do dips and push-ups. I would do sit-ups etc. Knock out half my workout and then do the rest once I got home.

 

[mplsdunk]

My job is dirty by nature so my dambs about laying on the floor left a long time ago. We hit abs too.

For chest everything you said and cables too.

All three benches until I can't anymore and then fill the rest in with various stuff.

Why is cardio a waste of time? You talking purely fat loss reasons?

 

[stuntman mike]

yeah i'm not so sure about that. i'm not talking about only for "endurance" purposes, but i do think it's very important as a healthy lifestyle element. also, i think everyone has differing ideas on what constitutes "cardio".

I'm about to be on my workout skeez again. I feel weak lately. Will be following this thread. I need to start eating more brown rice. I hated it as a kid,but started eating here and there and now I'm craving it. So that's a plus.

The last part is probably a large part of it.


Fwiw, judging by what ive seen on local courts, basketball isnt cardio haha

Got a 2 week pass at Golds last week. The hoist machines they have are sooo nice. I wish LA Fitness had those.
