the bitcoin of weed posted:I don't think tea has any calories (depends in the tea I guess? most of the flavors come from dissolved essential oils which your body could in theory digest) as long as you don't put anything like milk or sugar in it of course naw tea only has as many calories as you add to it

I can endorse starting strength. Didn't work out for a long time some basically started from scratch. For from 10kg squats en 20kg deadlift to 100kg each. My bench press isn't impressive tho (40kg) and my shoulder press makes me cry (25kg) but I like being able to throw weights around. I might switch to a different program cause I don't feel like doing cleanses in my gym. Because 1) I am very not used to them and 2) my gym is crowded and I am afraid I'll hurt others.

Epic High Five posted:speaking of, how do you feel about c25k as a recommendation for noobs as is the current case in the op I finished the drat thing, after ... like way more failed attempts than I want to admit. By the end of it, I was just like "Was this even a good goal to begin with?" I can't even get my speed up to a respectable level because I get stitches after like 10 minutes if I go at a pace that isn't "barely jogging". I think it depends on goals. If the noob is starting where I am, a fat gently caress doing calorie counting and getting to the gym to lose weight, they should probably start somewhere other than c25k. It's loving miserable for a fatass, and you could just walk for a few more minutes and burn the same amount of calories.

I have a gym membership I don't use as much as I should, I'm bad about making a habit of it and since I'm going on my own I worry I can't certain stuff because I haven't worked out in forever and I don't have a spotter. I figure I'll make myself go tomorrow and at least hit the treadmill, do some rowing, hit the bike and see how I like that. I'm not doing too bad weight wise, around 180 or so with a little bit of a beer belly but I do okay for myself. I bet posting with my fellow C-SPAMmers will make me more likely to go, idk. Trying to make a habit of doing M-W-F while I can.

Alright, I joined a new gym with more racks, more treadmills, more machines and it's $30 cheaper/month. Did the first day of Stronglifts 5x5 and didn't feel like too much of an rear end in a top hat taking up a rack and lifting just the bar like the program says to. The barbell row is kind of a pain in the rear end because you have to maneuver a bar into enough open space to do it. Also the barbell row makes my legs shake, which I was not expecting.

I did c25k a few years back, then distance running all the way up to a marathon a year and a half later. I like the Zombies, Run! C25K app (and the regular one for general training) because there's a gamified aspect (getting supplies to improve your base), a storyline that's moderately interesting but doesn't take up too much time during a run, and they have you do stuff like calf raises mid-run that help with shin splints/tendonitis when you're first starting out. Also you can turn on zombie chases, and having zombies groaning in my ear is the only way I've found to make me enjoy interval training on a run. Also just getting back into starting strength. Have a rack in my garage, because I've found if I have to go to a gym to lift I simply won't do it reliably.

iSheep posted:I did this by intermittent fasting and cutting out alcohol and sweetened coffee. how long did it take you to lose that weight? I have hovered around 220 since about 20 years old (I’m 33 yo now) drives me crazy because... diet for a week???? I’m 219. go on a cheeseburger and potato chip and beer bender for 2 weeks???? I’m 221. I don’t fluctuate that much no matter what I do seems hard to break through my weight barrier but I’m pretty committed now to losing, especially since my wife just lost a bunch of weight. I don’t want her to be the only one to do it sucks cause I know I’ll only lose like 0.5/week so it’s gonna take me like 6 months to get where I want to
