Heat wave indeed. For it being as cold as it was for that long, the 43 degrees today is shorts and flip flops weather

Congrats on the weight loss, Justn. Jump roping is a solid workout. Do you use a regular rope or one of the weighted ones?

well done Justin....I have been trying to loose 15 lbs myself...but working from home gets me very very lazy...dont feel like getting up....I have been trying to get back in shape...

I ultimately want to be 170lbs...I am at 183 now...I was down to 172 and thats when the parents were here and all I did was 'pig out'

I've got 15 to 20 to go too.

well, I originally bought a 3-6 dollar speed jump rope...
that shit broke, because I wasnt good at skipping rope.
i kept stepping on it, and the handle broke.

I bought a more expensive speed rope with better joints/handles this time around. and have improved skipping rope. i can get going pretty fast, and alternate legs, high knees, running in place.
I'm trying to figure out how to skip in the shape of a box. backwards, to the left, forward, then to the right

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

so all you are doing is skipping for the duration of the workout?

anything else?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

well the reason I ask is, I used to do HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and Active Rest training...loved it...they kicked butt since it helped me build some mass and drop some weight...

my dumb ass stopped working out when I was in the best shape of my life...

Morning kids. Back at work and it feels like I got gang-tackled by everyone.

i attend the gym as well.

however, during the whole month of january, I did not go once.
and I started insanity, skipping rope, and pushups.
skipping rope is hard, and there is no way some one who picks it up for the first time can go 10 mins straight.
your feet have to learn to be coordinated with your arms.

the main factor in my journey is food.
less calories in while expending more calories out, creating a deficit in calories.

iTrader: (5)

I got back in the workout regime (again) a week back and first thing I did was watch what I eat and cut out the junk food...

well thanks for the advice, I might look into jump rope (I used to do it as a kid), I hope it wont be that hard to pick up the lost habit again

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

lol, the speed rope I bought is made out of PVC.
your feet will learn to be coordinated really quick, or you'll get slapped OVER AND OVER again with the whip in your hands.

I swear, the first week, I looked like i was being abused all over my back and arms.
had giant welts every where

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

LOL

got link brahh?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

check amazon to see if its cheaper.

I chose this rope, after looking at the handles/ end joints.
the first one i had broke on me.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

its 29 bucks on amazon and no prime at that

thanks for the link...will get one from rage itself in that case...

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

Im warning you!

the first week will HURT.
lol.
I get fatigued after about 15 mins of skipping and start slapping myself...
Fuck. shit hurts! lol

Yumcha

More than anything, you guys must stick to it. Lots of workout methods...don't matter if you don't stick to it.

Yumcha

Need to get back after a week home nursing a bad cold. But, may not return until tomorrow...still feeling ragged today. And I'm sure the peeps at the gym won't enjoy a guy hacking and sneezing near them.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

haha...love the workout pains and soreness....

I was just on youtube trying to watch some jump rope workout routines and came across this








Yummy, get some rest bud...if you carry the cold for long, you gonna pass it back to lil' cha

iTrader: (1)

yep, i can get going pretty fast like MoneyMayweather, but he has a lot more stamina and can keep doing it.
after about a good 5 mins, i'm winded and have to slow down or stop.

Majofo

This hockey game is bullshit



15 minutes.. good shit Justn, keep at it.

Mizouse

teach me, im getting fatter. but ive been so damn tired after work. i just pass out while eating dinner

Harper

Justin, do you even lift brah? jokes

I've lost about 50lbs since I started hitting the gym, which was over a year ago. Hit a plateau and have been stuck at the same weight for a couple months now.

Majofo

1) Buy a rope
2) Jump over it
3) Repeat #2

I wish my knees could take jumping rope.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

at first, i was pounding my knees.
now that I got the hang of it, i barely jump over the rope.
I like the phrase skipping rope better than jumping.

Majofo

Maybe you should use a pillow or memory foam pad when you work, should be a lot easier on the knees.

iTrader: (5)

Jump rope ordered...thanks braah

if you get an e-laced email, its only coz it hurts soo much...

I actually started going to the gym to gain weight...

I was 160 and shit shinny...started hitting the gym got upto 180 and then I took a break for couple months and boom 185....then I started the lean routine and was down to 172....back upto 185 and now am at 183 trying to get to 170-ish...


when you workout mix it up...use barbell instead of dumbbells/vice versa...instead of standing, try sitting or squatting...switch from high reps low weight to med reps med weight to heavy weight very low reps to max outs...

try super sets and giant sets, always keep mixing your routine....also vary the intensity as Justn mentioned....go from rest periods to active rests to high intensity...

I still remember, when I first hit the gym, I used to use 30lb dumbbells for flat bench press...just by FORCING myself to upping the weight everytime I do the exercise I remember I maxed out at 100lb dumbbells flat bench press x 3 reps...now am back to 60-70lbs x 6-8 reps...

by varying, you will not only build strength but also gain mass and cut up very well

@ Anil and J getting called out as amateur photogs
