Title: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on March 08, 2014, 10:59:22 PM
So this will be my first entry into getting my body back into shape.  Everybody's body is different so what will work for one person will have different results for another.

Anyway...I'm gonna start with most strength stretching.  It's mostly just posing infront of the mirror but at the age of 40 now, I have to start slow.  My youthful years of 5-6 hours a day workout routines are just not feasible anymore.  Although I started in the most obvious parts of the body like arms and legs, I should ideally start with the core muscle group.  That's right the abs.  That's the most flabby part of me now, but at least it's still looks decent if I tummy tuck it.  LOL.  Also by working on my mirror reflecting, I hope that it will also help my posture.

If I recall back in my youthful days...posture is something like 90% of body sculpting.

(I think I will have to get a facebook account so that I can upload photos on the net again.)  Maybe there's other ways to do it too, but I will worry about that later.

From a few days ago...no body definition after a 15+ years hiatus from serious body work out.

Hi bro,

I am glad you're getting back in shape.  I think it is a good idea to have something to do to lay off the stress.  Man, for a 40 year old you still look good.  You still have the muscles, but just need to activate it again.  Once you have something, you will always have it, but just a matter of time.  Keep us posted.

Thanks for the encouragement.  It will be really tough to get muscle mass, as since I look at my muscles and they're like half the size of what they used to me.

Good luck man... I was like you last year. I made a change in my life.
I started to eat healthy, slowly started to work out for few weeks. Once the pounds started to shed and notice a difference in stigma, I went in full swing. My goal wasn't muscle mass like when I was young. It was more to be in shape. So, I torn down the mass by dieting and running.... Once I got to my ideal weight, I begun slowing down on the running and swing into more weights.

A few weeks in comparison.  Mostly just stretching to stimulate some muscle activity.  Plus a hair cut.

VH, you still look good.  Those pictures you took in the other thread looks good on you.  Are you lifting weights now or doing any form of exercises?  I am hitting 3 sets of 30 push ups every night and doing hundreds of reps for the biceps.  I'm in the process of cutting down to 165 lbs.  So far, it's been energy draining because I incorporated intensity treadmill workouts to burn the fat.  I'll update in another month.  You should too bro.  talk to you later.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on March 24, 2014, 12:38:02 PM
I tried to do like 20 decline sit ups like two weeks ago and it left my core muscle's in pain since.  Yesterday I was able to do 5 decline sit up before pain stress kicked in.  With an extremely weak core, I can't really get into much of anything.  I could only manage 10 push ups before my core gave out yet again.

For the most part, it's just strength stretching.  Kind of yoga'ish, but not.  I need those sinew and ligaments to strengthen up before working on any muscles for sure.  And when the weather warms up...I can hit my intesity cardio to get the blood flow and lungs breathing.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 06, 2014, 02:59:54 PM
It's been nearly two weeks or so.  I physically feel better.  My energy level is improving.  I can do 20 push ups and twenty sit ups now.  That's not too bad considering how weak I was before.  This last week with new job has basically killed any kind of stretching or exercise, so call it a rest and recuperation period.  Anyway here are some pix for comparison...v ery little changes on the camera photo's but I'm beginning to see some veins under the skin, so I know they'er there.

So I went and walked around Phalen.  Normally I avoid it, but weather was so nice and I was sure the path was much more clear at Phalen, then most other places I would've gone to.  Well only a few spots still had piles of snow so not all paths are clear.  Took me about 50 minutes to clear to walk around Phalen.  Noticed a few people that were running on in opposite direction and saw them around the other side of the lake.  My legs are okay, however my knees are weak...so I don't think running will benefit me if I should try to jog around the lake at this time.  I really should've worn shorts and t-shirt only but oh well I figure I will just do that later.  Got a little sun so not too bad for such a pale white guy.

Look good bro.  You should have met up with sweet tears.  She went to Phalen lake too.  You guys could have had a good laugh about life. Did you see pinkpie?  She's the one girl with the sun glasses  8)  j/k...

Have fun and keep on showing us your progress.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 07, 2014, 07:09:34 AM
Actually I wanted to go to a place much closer to home, but the paths weren't clear, so I had to go to Phalen.  I was kind of afraid if pinkiepie was there.  I saw someone with big sunglasses, but since she didn't say anything to me, I figure it wasn't her or she didn't recognize me.  LOL... :2funny:

Oh it took me 50 minutes to walk around Phalen.

I don't really know why, but my leg muscles felt like cramping up on me this morning.  I woke up and do the morning yawn stretch and felt the muscle cramp just about to come on.  I think I was dreaming about running.

Yes! Dreaming about running can give you muscle cramps... :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:. Since you are talking about body sculpting I'm going to try to post a pic of me here to give you an idea of what I have done to my body. Don't know if it will work having a hard time posting pic in here... :( :(

It took me three years of hard work, dedication and eating clean to get back to super shape the way I'm today!  At your age you can still get your body back but don't wait for tomorrow start today...

Hang Jordan's picture by the mirror and imagine that could be you.  I used Arnold, Frank, Kai, and others when I'm doing my workouts.  It's funny because I tell my friends that all the time and they don't have a clue what I'm talking about.  Sometimes I'm so caught up that I see myself as Arnold doing the rows and the Arnold biceps. ;D
Title: Re: Body Sculpting

LOL...I remember how big my abs were.  It sort of was more like He-Man action figure.  Maybe all I need is to find an old He-Man and just stand him.  Arnold and Lue Ferringo were  my inspiration.  Bruce Lee as another of mine.  I only wish I bothered to take pictures from back then.  It's hard to see wonder how my legs used to fill the entire pants leg to now seeing those very same pants legs seem loosely baggy on me.

Lifters, I have a question for you.  Normally when I go lift I just pump iron and whatever while trying to keep form.  I've recently been lifting slowly, holding, and then slowly bringing back weights in order to feel the burn.  I've noticed that my energy drains a lot faster when I do that.  Does that have any extra benefits at all?  Perhaps it's not recommended?  Anyways my goal is to build strength and lose a few.

It's the slow burn that will give your muscle the most workout.  There are basically two types of muscles.  The slow strong muscle and the fast twitch quick muscles.  The slow strong muscles will have a lot of endurance and more strength.  The fast twitch quick muscles are good for speed but most often are only good for short quick bursts and then tires out.  The true benefit is essentially to work out both ways.  The slow strong muscle will be able to handle heavier weights.  The fast twitch muscles are ideal for lighter weights.  Essentially there will always be crosses in the routine.  For example shoulder press, a quick pump (eccentric motions)...then the slow flex (concentric motion).  When stopping in between there somewhere and holding the weights during a flex...they call those isometric exercises.  Can also do good for you.

Anyway the idea behind the slow burn is to drop weights so that you can do more reps in that motion to build up your stamina and form.  The intention is to recruit more muscle tissue overall into the motion.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: minorcharacter on April 18, 2014, 06:38:35 PM
Thanks VH, I'm quite a newb when it comes to the technicalities of lifting.  What exactly do you mean when you say dropping weights?  I take it you don't literally mean I drop the weights, do you?
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 18, 2014, 07:09:18 PM
What I mean is when your muscles begin to get tired out, use lighter weights.  So you figure out that out by going from like 45 lbs to 40 lbs and so forth  and dropping the weight down by 5 lbs increments or so until you find a weight that allows you to do like 8-12 reps of hot burning muscles in a set.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 19, 2014, 01:46:06 PM
Ah so I've been working on new job quite hard and feeling slightly under the weather since as well.  Overall energy level is down and healthy eating habits are basically out the door again.  I've made so little progress to none whatsoever.  It's gonna be a little tougher than I had expected.  Mostly due to age.  I think I will need some supplements... I think most joint supplements is what I will need.  Old age and aching joints...not such a good combo.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 20, 2014, 01:10:09 AM
I'm noticing that I'm having more slack in my shirts and having less trouble taking them off now.  I'm shrinking.  I've been eating much more healthy the past month and I seem to be getting smaller all around.  So I maybe it's a good thing.  I'm beginning to see some veins on my arms again.  Not any major veins popping out, but just seeing some bluish veins means I notice them once again.  I've been sort of under the weather since it's this week has been a chill spell.  So I feel a little weaker, and old man joints tend to feel more ache in colder weather as well.  So maybe tomorrow if the weather warms up, I'm gonna start a little run for a bit around danger Phalen.  Maybe walk most of the way if I have to.  Ah well time to give it a shot.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: Wi_sweetguy on April 20, 2014, 07:58:21 PM
When you eat healthy, you're bound to lose weight until you reach your normal body weight.  Good luck shopping for more clothes if your old ones are too big.  I still have the 200 dollar suit I never wore because I went from 34 to 32.  What a big size difference.  Be ready to save money for your next trip for some slim clothing.  O0
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 20, 2014, 11:00:35 PM
I have also been eating smaller meals.  I think my calorie intake for the day is down to about 3000.  I feel like I can eat more but haven't.

I'm right back at between that M and L size again.  When L fits shoulders, it's too fat on body.  When M fits body, I can't move my arms unless I plan on ripping the seams off the shoulder.  I need to stabilize my body size.  I'd rather get back to the L size, since shoulder structure is pretty much set.  I can always get L size shirts tailored to a slim fit.

Great suggestion on mixing slow lifts with quick lifts.  I've been doing reps of 3x5 where the first set is quick lifts and the rest are slow lifts.  My arms definitely feel the burn after the workout but I'm not sore the next day anymore.  Is this a sign that I need to add more weights?

PS, how do I get rid of my A cups?

The amount of weight depends on your strength...if you're getting stronger then try increasing weights.  Personally I like to change my grip position before increasing weight, it helps to round out the muscles more.

A cups...well depends if they're sagging.  I will say do butterfly motion or whatever it was called.  Also try using the cable cross machine.  Use the military press machine but lighter weights and focus on your pects.

Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on April 27, 2014, 11:03:23 PM
I can't do those shakes.

I only did them for a while back when it seems price wise they were still affordable.  For like 50-75 cents a bottle.  When they went to over $1 I stopped since they were more like nutritional supplement and they weren't really a meal replacement for me.  A bowl of cereal is basically the same thing.

Now if someone would just make nutri-ice cream.  LOL...I love honey bunches of oats topping on ice cream...well frozen yogurt.  Gosh, I could sure use a few kiwi and peaches sliced and topped on frozen yogurt right now...darn!

Since I've cut a lot of carbs out of my normal diet...I've been constantly feeling hungry.  I just seem to want to eat something, munch on something...I think I may or may not tone down anymore.  I might switch back to bulking or tone up as it may seems my body is beginning to respond a little on the muscle building.

So anyway, I'm noticing my legs are getting smaller and leaner, well less bukly.  However my shoulders and lats are beginning to respond a little...it's still just at the initial stimulated stage.  They'll lean and tone down a bit and then I can start working them out to condition them.

I'm also beginning to see my veins surfacing from underneath my skin.  It's been so long since I've had those monster veins on my shoulders and neck, I didn't think I would ever see those things again.

How are you keeping your cravings down?  After switching to less carbs and working out in the morning I get really hungry during lunch and even a full meal doesn't seem to satisfy my hunger.

I am constantly hungry, since I don't have as much carbs.  So I drink hot water...hot tea.  It takes the hunger edge off.

You should be snacking on those women's pix. Just kidding, you should be snacking between meals. Ie low fat yogurt, fruits, veggies... Etc. or simply eat some more fiber food items...

I have a storage of almonds and protein bars, but it's hard to keep fruits and veggies since I don't like using the public refrigerator at work.

Supposedly for some anti-oxidants.  I use to be a big nutritionist health nut back in the days, but I've long since forgotten things.  I just know that it keeps my belly warm and warm liquids are far better for your body's internal organs and helps with the digestive system and digestive immunity.

When do you think I should move up in the amount of weight I'm lifting?
When you feel still energetic after a set of 8-10 reps.  Then you try to do like 15-18 reps and feel still fairly easy.  Now you should bump up the weight. 

Now everyone's body responds differently, so some people may just bump up the weight and do like 4-6 rep per set, then work up to the 8-12 rep per set.

Gotta love this guy for how well he's sculpted his body.

If I had to compare myself with him, I will say his arms and shoulders are definitely much bigger than mine ever was.

I did have bigger abs, bigger gluts and legs and much bigger traps and lats at one time.  Still he was able to step it up and compete on the stage whereas I didn't.

At my current age, my joints tells me enough is enough.  My muscles may still want to do more repetitions, but the joints says no.  Safety first...we have a lifetime to be fit.

Yes it's harder with age.  Health(illness) and overworked stress took me down for many years.  Before I knew it five years past, then another five then another five more years more.  I can hardly believe it's been so long.  I need to find some weights to start training again.

Anyway yesterday: 06/01/2014

50 arm curls
60 squats
30 decline sit ups
30 crunches
30 oblique crunches on each side
30 push ups
30 dumbbell press flat
30 military press
20 butterflies flat
and a lot more but can't remember exactly what now...senility  ;D

For lack of time today: 06/02/14
60 arm curls various
30 decline sit ups
30 dumbbell press flat
20 butterflies flat
20 military press
50 squats

Here is mine kind of old school:

Jog 2-3x a week 2miles.
Daily 200-300 push-ups and 100-150 pull-ups and chin ups.
3days a week, core exercise.




Yes...that's basically what I did as a teenager.  Use to love to go to the playground and use that as my weightlifting facility.  The hanging sit ups...bar dips...use to love the rings on the swing set too.

Right now just putzing around until I get into a real work out routine...

I only got two 20# dumbbells to play around with.  I could use a few more up to 50#.  I don't think I  will to get a gym membership anymore.

I could also use a bench press set up in the future...hate those cheap home versions...but will have to look around for a good deal.

meaning the fatty skin in the tricep areas?

That's tough since it's kind of goes with the fatty skin/area like in the chest and under the arms area.  You just have to burn off the fat through metabolism and/or body fat burn to energy conversion.

So I would go with the types of exercises, to work on arms, shoulders, chests, and lats.  While you're at targeting those areas I will have to had the traps just to round things out.
push ups - multiple variations - standard, wide, diamond
bench press - multiple variations - flat, incline, decline
tricep extensions - multiple variations - behind the head dumbbells, leaning on bench,
butterflies/flies - flat bench, machines,
standing arm raises - forward raise, side raise, lateral isolation static holds,

Well that's just some of the few things I would do.  Don't forget cardio warm ups and cardio cool downs.

Max is incredible... O0

Gym right now - 0 hours.  Those little things I did for the past 3 days...just putzing around...not even close to a real work out routine.  They aren't high volume in respect to me.

My backround...I have a very small fragile frame starting at barely over 100 lbs...most hmong women have bigger bones than I do.  I haven't worked our for like 15 yrs....when I used to work out serious...5-6 hours a day at the gym....5-6 days a week.  There's a difference between weight lifting, weight training, body training, progressions.. .I put on pure natural muscles body weight up to about 170 lbs after five serious years...I sink like a rock in water and would make for a horrible life guard.  Back in my heydays...Leg pressed (knees to chest and fully extended) over 1200 lbs easily 3-5 sets of 5-6 reps.  Love that inverted leg press machine.  That's all the weight in the gym just walking around with 200 lbs in my hands.  Deadlift over 500lbs easily, not one of my workout routine just tried a few times and very hard on my small hands.  Couldn't squat more than 150lbs on my back...but if I held the weight on my hands infront of my chest...500 lbs easy on the safety cage.  However very uncomfortable motion for me.   Flat chest pull over 600 lbs easy.  Those were the heydays...

If I had a photo of back in the day...I would be sort of the cross between a HeMan action doll and a Popeye action doll.  LOL.  Never had the biceps, just the oversized everything else...plus I never liked having all the wrinkly veins nor my 5-10k calorie a day food bill.

Then who is Max, you named him?  Now you can't remeber who's photo you put up?  :idiot2:

I guess you don't read too well do you.  Go look at a few vid post of some FB members claiming their weights and then count the plates on their barbell...I usually count one or two plates less then said claim.  Unless they just have real bad math...countin g 45# plates as 60# plates.

When I count weights...I just count how many 100# plates and how many pair's of 45# plates.  So something like.  4 X 100# and 9 pairs X 45 X 2 is what I leg press.  plus whatever weight of the leg press machine is and it's got some weight to it with no plates on.  Women usually just put like a pair of 5# plate on it.  Do the math on that.  Then walk around with 2 100# plates in your hands looking to get to the next equipment.  Do you need photo's on that?  That's just a normal routine for me.  Who wants photo's of their mediocrity? 

The rest of them other people spending hours at the gym...just posers...stand ing around chatting and checking out the opposite genders, taking photo's like it's vacation.  :idiot2:

LOL you still called him Max.   :2funny:  Do you know how many years he put in to get to his size?  People don't get that over night you know.  Did you sit there and time him down to the minute?  meaning if he was in the gym for 1.51 hours or something...th en he would've gone over his max time.

Just, who's gonna go back in time and take a picture of me?  Yes, Just Incredible can time travel...so when he gets back to the present with photo's of me...I'll post them up.

Post by: thePoster on June 07, 2014, 10:00:08 PM
Ha ha!

Wow!  Beef and drama in this thread!

Anyways...

reading a few things in here reminds me...

I never really lifted weights..When I do.. it's just small stuff..

My friend who does, he's always like "you gotta go hard my man, if you're just doing those light weights you might as well just be doing push ups and sit ups"

Like... I just do the bar with 2 35's on the side.  Thats how light weight I am! 

Other day a co-w0rker of mine.. we were talking..and I said  "well, sometimes I just do the bar".. he looked at me weird and he was like... "when I do it.. I do like..."  and I said "like the bar too right?"  and he finishes saying "like 350"...

I was like... "well, gotta start somewhere!"

Anyways!  I digress!  On to my story!

So anyways.. there's these two guys at work... One guy always talking about how much he can bench and squat...

I can't remember correctly but he said he did like 650...

My friend who was telling me that there's no way he can do that much, becuase if he could do that much he would be flying in basketball and dunking left and right, but the guy can't dunk and only get's like two hand's length over the rim at best.  He's 6 feet by the way.

So then I started thinking to myself(because basketball is my favorite sport and trying to get my ups back).. starting thinking to myself "oh... so thats how I can get more ups!  I gotta strengthen my legs! then I should be having mad ups!"

So anyways.. I start doing the leg press... at first I was just doing 2 45 plates on each side.  I thought easy enough.. And I never done legs before like that...  so then I throw 3 45's on each side...  doing 3 sets of 10... I stick with that for a while like a week or something... my friend's always pushing me so I was like ok fine I'll try 4 plates on each side... and it's a struggle... but I'm able to do them... besides, its for my ups!  But after a while... like a couple weeks.. Knee's starts feeling weird...

And I thought to myself... all this weight training is ... is not for me.. it's not good for your bones and joints... 

So I was reading all of yalls workout routines and all of yalls weights... I don't think that's all good for you.. in the end, later on in life, you'll hurt yourself...tha t's what I told myself... I can get ups a different way. 

So after that, never touched that leg machine anymore.  And I think if I lost like 40 lbs, I'd get my ups back.  I don't need stronger muscles!  Just ... need to lose all this fat!  Cardio cardio!  and healthy eating!

I just like doing body weight things... like push ups... sit ups.. pullups..dips. .. etc etc.. calesthenics, but alot of them.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on June 07, 2014, 10:28:34 PM
LOL...strength in pushing weights doesn't translate, to good jumping ability.  I've seen more skinny guys with much better hang times than muscular guys.

I know the big fish stories...even from volleyball players.  :2funny:  Only because Hmong nets are lower.  ;D

Also heard plenty of weight lifters talking about their max out.  I've personally never known my max out weight on anything, just that I've never gone beyond a certain limit like my 90% guestimated strength.

Post by: VillainousHero on June 15, 2014, 01:12:48 AM
Well I did the 10 minute workout thingy

Only like mostly abs and oblique crunches.  A few leg raises and wasn't really counting anything.

I was thinking that I was gonna workout later, but then just catching up on sleep.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on June 16, 2014, 08:41:16 PM
So I sort of forgot what I did and forgot to keep count...

But I did like something like 10-20 reps of like a dozen or more sets of push ups.

I did like 3 or 4 sets of 10 reps of knee push ups afterwards

And then some upright rowing of very light weight.

That's about it.

Just some stretching and a few self massage of the tired muscles.

100 arm curls various
50 sit ups flat
50 squats
30 chest flies
30 dumbbell bench press
30 dumbbell shoulder press
30 shoulder curls

I guess that's it for now.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on June 20, 2014, 08:42:26 AM
In the past...like over 15 yrs ago...Usually after a work out, I may be slightly sore but I feel pumped.  Now older...even after these small work out, my muscles feels tired.  I know if I pump through the reps, I'll feel more pumped, however it sort of goes with less than optimal form.  In addition the lower number of reps that I do now...well I could essentially double it or maybe triple it.  Perhaps I need to go back to that route.  Get the pump and then just follow up with a few sets of clean reps.

Well at the end of this month, I will take another snapshot.

Personally my legs seemed to have shrunk quite a bit.  Maybe getting toned and I'm beginning to be able to wear a few pants smaller pants for just a while.  However my waist seems to be getting bigger or not shrinking, so I may have to upgrade pants size, maybe.  I should be between 30-32, but will have to step up to 32-34 inches for waist.

Awesome, I may snap a few new photos too. 

It seems like my calves aren't getting any bigger but stronger nonetheless.  I've maxed out the weights on the machine, 225lbs.  The machine where you sit and push with your toes.  I'm a size 30 but tend to wear 32's. I was a size 36-38.  Keep at it.  O0

The calf raise machine...I tend to use that one as a last machine after I'm done with the major workout already.  If you want to up weights, go to the leg press machine and do your toe push there.  They generally have about 500 lbs or so.  If there's a free weight leg press machine, even better, if there's enough weight to load it so much more.

Anyways...I got done came home...

50 sit ups flat
50 arm curls

Okay so 06/23/14  before watching American Ninja Warrior

90 sit ups flat
60 squats
80 arm curls
30 dumbbell bench press
30 chest flies
20 dumbbell shoulder press
25 push ups

For some reason I've been feeling weaker in my push ups this past week.  Mostly the ligaments in the elbows are tiring out.

Yeap, I ran 2millions miles today. I haven't  ran in a few week. I did a few thousand push-ups and pull ups.

Work starts at 8:30 am.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on June 24, 2014, 08:58:49 AM
That's the time that I get up. How long does your work out take?

If I do a work out, I usually allocate enough time for 1 full hour of workout...so generally I need 1.5 hours just to be on the safe side.

Ideally I would do some high intensity stuff for like 15-20 minutes.  The rest is moderate to low intensity just because of slower joints with age now.

This morning I hit no more than 10 minutes of quick push ups and squats and a few ab crunches.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on June 24, 2014, 08:59:39 AM
If you workout at home and  are efficient in your routine you should get a good work out in 15mins. If not, 30mins should be a good goal. Otherwise, anything over an hr might be an over kill.

Yeah...not efficient at all right now...still trying to get a feel for it...just reconditioning the old muscles and joints. 
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on June 24, 2014, 09:13:04 AM
Don't forget you still need at least 1/2 for shower after the work out as well.

Nope...just cool down stretching and such...man shower is usually less than 5 minutes.

Try this..
 3 sets of 30sec push-ups and 3 different types of 3 sets of 15 reps of push-ups. That's doable in 10mins. Then 5mins for core.

Yes definitely.  My body still hasn't responded well.  It still seems to lack the energy and stamina.  I want to pump through but my joints says nope.  Some weeks, I feel pumped, some weeks I feel hurting and aching joints and muscles.

Anyway I never really choose to be sedentary, it was forced upon me.  Of course I could have pushed through the pain with painkillers but at what cost of damages?  Just a shadow of my former self but if I can even get half of my prime, it would be a feat of accomplishment .

Maybe put one of your picture from long time ago on a mirror so you can look at it and get the motivation that you need.
I didn't bother taking pictures at all...about only a few from some friends while in high school.  I one from the Asian prom night around 20 yrs old.  So I body build after that till pretty much age 25.  Never thought I would end up with amnesia and get deployed overseas just to become I'll and decrepit afterwards.  Couldn't even had the strength to open a door.  Never really weight lift nor touch a weight afterwards.  Really I should've become a marshmallow puff.

All right half an hour of work out...

60's

Sit-ups
Push ups
Arm curls
Military press

Its a tad weak...it really was just a good warm up...reminds me of the old days if body building.  Take an hour warm up. Take an hour actually workout.  Take an hour cool down and poses.

I managed to do 75 sit-ups continuous.  Not at 100 yet.  My abs muscles are very tiny right now.  I also managed to do 30 continuous push-ups.  Not the typical 50-60 continuous I used to do.

Anyway, my legs are shrinking in size.  They are at 19" girth.  That's pityful compared to their former 24" glorious thunders.  No I have not been doing any kinds of sqauts. I need to load up on that routine.

Day two, thirty arm curls and ten sissy push-ups.  10 lousy sit-ups and ten lousy squats.

Same here, I'm starting something new this year...  To shed weight faster...

I'm so fluffy, I can feel my muscles underneath..

I'm going to try 200 burpees and 200 mountain climbers a day..

Those are actually really good cardio workouts.

Lift auger, drill, lift auger, walk, then drill, repeat.

Just the moving the 949i into the truck bed and out and carrying it a few feet is just the workout in itself.

Then the propane tank and Big Buddy Heater are all about partial arm curls.

I'm beat...

I guess, I didn't do much of my winter outdoor training...so maybe I may go back to simple strength training for now.

100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 squats

move the decimal to the left.   O0

Nobody is home so I can walk around naked and look at myself in the mirror.

Well all I can think of is...I'm older now.  I remember a time when I use to have that small 28" stomach/waistline.  It is now just hovering at 32" relaxed.  The thighs of my legs at it's peak was a just above 24" inches as compared to the current just about 18" circumference.  I've got chicken legs...well not actually but I feel like that.  I used to not be able to raise my arms straight up, due to my biceps would hit me in the face.  Now I remember that I never really did have big arms, but that could've just been my perception.  I really had Popeye forearms, so as to say my forearms muscles made the rest of my arms minuscule.  Now I can raise my arms straight up.  I cannot fathom at this time how could my biceps ever even come close to touching my cheeks. You know how divers put their arms up against their ears, I can't even touch my ears.  Have I ever shrunk!  That's how it is when it's been nearly 20 yrs since I have serious body sculpt training.

I remember that time when my cousin commented about how massive my forearms were when it's been years since we've seen each other.  I remember when I used to wait tables and women would casually just grab my butt cheeks.  I also remember going to the clubs and bars and women would basically use my thighs to rub their hands on.  It's also funny how I can say that my eyes are up on my face and not below my belt line.  I could always joke about that because it could walk that joke.  I seriously doubt that any of that would be happening now.  It all seems to be smoke and mirrors now.  It all seems like there was no way I could've gotten that kind of a body.

It's all seems like a Fun Friday Fact to me.  O0

LOL...I remember Sunday...Sunda y youth.  So back then there was this store at Rosedale Mall called the Juxtapose.  Yes, we had some ladies who shopped there for the fashion.

Funny joke was that I was made the comment about Sunday just sexy pose.  If anyone ever seen Naruto about the sexy jitsu something like that.  LOL.

So that was about five days ago...now my muscles have barely recovered.  Wow...the age difference.  It had never been this long ever before.  It used to almost be like 48 hours recovery.  So lacking fitness...gonn a have to keep at it whenever the muscles recover.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on July 04, 2019, 07:53:01 PM
So it's been like what? Two weeks...slow recovery...slo w conditioning.  I'm getting that warm up phase down.  I am beginning to see some muscle response.  Can actually do 10 sit ups, 10 push ups, 10 squats comfortably.  Will see how this goes.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on July 12, 2019, 11:20:54 AM
I'm up to the 20 reps a piece now.  It's a tiresome process.  Slothful is what I can only describe it as.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on July 22, 2019, 01:50:20 PM
I'm splitting it up a little bit today.  30 reps, push up, sit up, squats.

3 sets of 10 reps a piece...see how that goes.

So a random measurement of my chest...wow, how I've shrunk.  I am just shy of 40" and at my peak I was just over 42".  While two inches isn't much it's huge when compared on the circumference.

So I finally bought a proper sized mountain bike for myself.  29" wheels it says, instead of my old 24" one that I've had like since I was 20 years old or something.  I remember riding that bike to Hmong J4 and blowing up the rear tire and it was a super pain to walk all the way back home for miles...

Took the new bike out for the evening ride and found myself easy enough to ride out about 10 miles round trip in the hour I think.  For sure it was more than 5 miles round trip.  I took it easy and didn't push myself.  Had to start out easy.

I have been taxed out by my work hours these past few days...all aspect of eating, working out, and such to even home/yard work maintenance stuff are just not done.

I notice a few leg muscle stimulating... maybe just pumped from some stimulation but good to see and feel.  Like usual how a body responds to stimulation, it's pumped and gives a false growth before it tones down and repairs itself to real growth afterwards.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on August 25, 2019, 05:17:02 AM
When I look at my legs and see the obvious space between the two...chicken legs as I call it now.  Well my legs are fairly thin now, but there was a time when the space...well there was no space for the space in between those legs.  A time I couldn't walk one leg forward of the other one without the obvious swing of the hips.  The more I think of it, and the way how the catwalk walk is done.  Was I doing that unconsciously?

Anyways my sit ups has gone up to 30 reps now.

I still can't find my measuring tape....

I spent the last week or two eating much more fruits and vegetables.  I noticed that my belly suddenly got fat as in got bigger and have a fat layer build up.  Maybe it's just getting ready for winter, but still it's a bit strange.  That it had the opposite effect of leaning down.

Must have been the carbs....

So this week, I sort of cut back on the veges.  Just then I check my weight and dropped down to 148#.  So within this month time frame I hit the high weight of 158# and dropped to 152# or so within one day.  Now hitting my low of 148#.  Hmmmmm.  that's an awfully high weight swing.

As I get older, I am beginning to get callous skin on my feet.  Mostly it's on my big toe.  I suppose I use it a lot for standing and walking and all.   I guess it's kind of expected because all my life wearing shoes have kept my feet way too soft.  I don't do much bare feet walking and stuff.
Title: Re: Body Sculpting
Post by: VillainousHero on August 22, 2020, 01:57:34 PM
So with my chicken legs now...I started to do some squats  for the past week.  I started to see some muscle response.  Even though my legs are extremely thin, now.  I can honestly say that even doing like a plain 15-20 reps was kind of tough.  Even afterwards my leg muscles feel tired and worn out.
