2021 Workout accountability thread...

[Hardcortex]

I hope you don't mind me jumping in a little late.

I'm 54, 6'0", and weigh 194 lbs. I have been working out with Camp Gladiator 5x a week (or so) for a year. In January, I started doing some lifting with some friends 2x a week, and am trying to keep the 7 workouts in the 5 day span going. On the weekends I try to do some low impact stuff, mostly walking several miles a day.

This year I am trying to drop my body fat percentage, get stronger, and stay health/uninjured. My last body fat measure was 17% and it was done in Jan 2020. Over the last month or so I have noticed I am slowly leaning out - maybe finally on top of my metabolism again.

I really struggle with food and nutrition. I have been told I need to eat more but I don't really get hungry after breakfast. I have tracked my macros, cals, and everything I put in my mouth, small meals more often, but end up 700 - 800 calories short at the end of the day day. Already eat clean, macros in order, and avoid sugars. The wife wants to lose weight and she is considering Adaptive Nutrition, does anyone have any experience with their program?

No help on the nutrition because I more often then not eat like crap screwing over the progress I make in the gym



Didn't make it this AM because I went scouting for ducks. Back At it tomorrow after the hunt hopefully

[TexasBob]

OK guys, I'm in... again. I said I would in 2020 but once quarantine and working from home started I mainly focused on 12oz curls and junk food. Quick history- from 2002-2014 I steadily gained weight with a couple small drops. Stayed at or over 200 which is heavy for my 5'8" frame. Lost nearly 60 pounds in 2014 and kept most off for a number of years. Started to creep back up and im around 188 now. Needs to stop. Eating clean, limited drinking, start working out.

Weekend workout was redoing a 120 sq ft flagstone patio. Moving and mixing 1500lb of cement plus the rock has me feeling it this morning. Loving it. Had 4 beers since 1/1/2020.

[150class]

Absolutely joke on my end not making it into the gym Friday-Monday.... Duck hunted every morning but still no excuse.

About to jump on the skeeter for a warm up and knock out a solid chest and tri work out

[RINCON]

Trying to run more consistently...

[150class]

Dear lord..... Working out first thing makes days feel 100x’s better

Warm up on the skeeter, 4 SS of chest and tri’s with a 10 min stair session for a cool down. Kept it all under 50 mins.

At least you were hunting!

I ended up missing my second workout on Thursday last week. First workout was weighted leg work and I just couldn't handle any agility work later that day. Legs were sore until Saturday.

This week is setting up similar - lifting buddy had Dr appointment this morning, so we are missing the weight session today. Still going to try to get in 2 today...

[SabreKiller]

I made it in yesterday for legs and back after being out for a week. I found out that this Covid planning and working the stock show were making me stress eat and I gained 10 pounds.

Back in this morning and got it done. Chest and bicep supersets with abs for grins. 3X10-12

Incline chest press on smith every setting to flat/preacher curl/incline situps
Cable fly/BB curl/ab roller
DB chest press/arm blaster/hanging leg raise.

[SabreKiller]

A good morning for the gym today. Hardly anyone was there until I got ready to leave. Legs and tricep supersets today.

Skull crushers/leg extension/incline situp
Bodyweight dip/sled leg press/calf raise/ab roller
Overhead rope extension/deadlift/hanging leg raise

[Pokes21]

I'll join this year. Currently at 214#s at age 32. Would like to get under 200#. I do the CrossFit workouts and I just need to get my diet under control on the weekends.


Today's workout is 5k row and every 3 min complete 10 wall balls for time.

I’ll jump on this....currently 6’ and 200ish lbs. I was a hardcore gym rat at one point, now mainly do it to just maintain and be able to keep up with my kids.

Sunday - Back
Monday - Triceps and Abs
Tuesday - Off day (Anniversary dinner)

This afternoon will be legs and abs

[SabreKiller]

Today was a good gym day. Too bad I couldn't stay longer cuz I still had some juice left in the tank.

Chest and back supersets. 3X10-12

Bench press/bent over BB row inverted grip/hanging leg raise
Incline DB press/overhead cable pull/ab roller
Incline cable fly every setting to flat/v-bar pullup/incline situp

[150class]

Okay.... Duck hunting has taken priority the last couple days and will the next few.

I’ll be back at it though when possible!

[slayr]

Ended up doing Bi’s and Abs yesterday, i think everyone in the gym had legs on their mind.

Today will be shoulders and traps.

[quarterback]

Feels like I'm back in the running game, albeit the sloooowwww running game. Seeing some races scheduled for May this year so hopefully Covid will be down enough by then. Starting to feel like I've lost a few lbs which is a good start.

Best of luck to all who have started their fitness programs!

[Hardcortex]

It looks like I will finish the week with 5 workouts instead of my goal of seven. Since I started lifting 2x a week with some friends, it seems like something is always coming up to get in the way - everyone is sick this week. Just going to stay positive and stay the course. Have hit 4 CG workouts this week so far, and will knock out one more for the week tomorrow.

[SabreKiller]

I wasn't really in to it this morning, but got something done anyway.

Shoulder and legs supersets. 3X10-12

military press/leg extension/incline situp
seated lateral raise/supersquat/hanging leg raise
front raise/sled press/calf raises
rear delt cable fly/prone leg curl


Have a great weekend!

[SabreKiller]

I had to go to work early so I got up earlier this morning. Wow, 0330 came awful early. 16 hour days are gonna be kicking my old arse.

Back day today. Hit it hard and fast to get out and off to work. Supersets with abs thrown in.

T-bar row/BB row inverse grip/hanging leg raise
Low row/overhead cable pull/ab roller
Lat pull down/bodyweight pullup

[150class]

Alright..... Duck season is over....

Made it for a quicky this morning (I slept in) and knocked out a 10 min warm up and a 3 SS of chest and tris.

Big swing for healthy eating agreed upon from me and the mrs also!

[SabreKiller]

I hate leg day. Just sayin.

[150class]

Made it for back and bi's this AM!

Cardio and core in the AM

[150class]

Yesterday was 45 mins of cardio and core.

Throwing a brisket on the smoker and then headed in for legs

[Hardcortex]

It looks like my week is over. I had oral surgery yesterday and they don't want me doing anything strenuous until Saturday.

I did manage to get three in this week - 2 CG's and a weight session. Chest and tri's:
Bench and decline bench - barbell
Incline bench - dumbbells
Bench dips
Barbell skull crushers
Tricep kick backs
Diamond pushups
Single arm triceps

[150class]

Legs are done.... I'm going to have trouble squatting on the toilet the next 2 days after that work out

Shoulders and possibly core manana but will probably just do cardio and core Saturday

[150class]

Another day of sleeping in and almost making a excuse not to go in. Made it happen though for a quick 35 min workout.

Shoulders and some cardio.

Tomorrow should be cardio and core.

[150class]

Took Saturday off but today was a 2 mile run.

International Chest and Tri’s day mañana

[150class]

10 min warm up on the skeeter

4 chest and tri super sets

500m rowing sprint to end things.

Tomorrow is back and Bi's

[SabreKiller]

Dadgum 16 hour days kicked my arse last week. I slept until 11AM on Saturday then took another 1.5 hour nap from 3P-5P. Sunday was better, but dang my butt was dragging. I didn't make the gym this morning, but sure wish I had since someone royally ****** me off by 9 AM. Definitely going tomorrow!

[150class]

Just walked in for some back and bicep action.

Planning on keeping a accelerated pace and mixing in some cardio in a 45 min span

[slayr]

I keep forgetting to update this thread. Been going 6-7 days a week and walking/running a couple of miles every afternoon. Abs and calves alternated everyday, too. My diet has been terrible, but been doing decent over last few days.

Awesome work out this am. Bicep was lacking though because I am still having tenderness with the left one. Mixed in some PT to try and help. Looking like I will need to go back and evaluate thought.

[SabreKiller]

I got one in today. Chest and leg supersets and some ab work.

[SabreKiller]

A good gym day today. I slept hard and my joints didn't hurt this morning so it was time to tear it up. Back and triceps supersets with a giant set at the end.

T-bar row/weighted dips/incline situp
Seated bilateral row/skull crushers/ab roller
Overhead cable pulldown/inverse grip cable pushdown/incline leg raise
Bent over BB row/overhead rope extension/bodyweight wide grip pull up/weighted crunch

[SabreKiller]

I'm starting to kinda like this getting up at 0330 and hitting the gym. Gives me a little more time to get it all in. Legs and biceps supersets today and some ab work.

Seated leg press on sled/preacher curl/ab roller
Prone leg curl/BB curl/cable rotation
Leg extension/hammer curl bar/incline leg raise
Arm blaster curls/glute extension/weighted crunch.

One more day to go!

[150class]

Been every day since my last post!

I slept horrible last night and tried making every excuse to not go but eventually forced myself to. Knocked out a Shoulder and cardio work out. Legs manana

[quarterback]

I. Am. Not. Running. In. This. Crap.

[SabreKiller]

I finally got back in after the snow storm. Made it 3 days so far this week. I'm starting to drag a little though. Waking up at 0130 every morning just plain sucks!

[150class]

Son of a *****....

I haven’t worked out since the Saturday before last which is pitiful. Gym was closed Mon-Fri last week but I’m nothing but excuses for at least Fri-Today.

3 alarms set for the AM

[SabreKiller]

I missed yesterday, but got in this morning for legs and triceps.

[150class]

Made it yesterday and this morning! Feels good. Outta shape. The cycle continues

[150class]

5 mile run yesterday and cardio/shoulders this AM.

Feeling pretty dang good.

Legs manana

[justindfw]

Anyone with bad knees have good ideas for leg workouts? I’m 6’4” and 212 I need to get to 190 but my joints aren’t great now

[SabreKiller]

I made it this morning. Chest and back timed sets today. I haven't done this in awhile and it showed. Especially on the weighted wide grip pushups.

Weighted wide grip pullup-max reps in 5 minutes/20 seconds between sets
Bench press-max reps in 4 minutes/20 seconds rest
V-bar pullups-50 reps in 5 minutes/20 seconds rest
Incline DB press-50 reps in 4 minutes/20 seconds rest
Pushups-max reps in 3 minutes/20 seconds rest

That. sucked.

[150class]

Legs and cardio done....

Going to be hurting tomorrow

[SabreKiller]

Legs and biceps today. Gotta hit it again tomorrow.

[SabreKiller]

Arthritis must be acting up cuz every joint in my body hurts. I made it to the gym and pushed hard to get through it. I guess I'm going to need to see my doctor cuz this is occurring more and more. Chest and back supersets today.

Incline chest press on smith machine every setting to flat (2 rounds)
BB row
Overhead cable pull
Pec deck fly
Ab roller
weighted crunch

[tadmaryperry]

30 mins on the stationary bike this morning and then chest, biceps, and triceps. Feels good to be cleared to lift by the dr! Makes getting up at 4:30 worthwhile lol!

[150class]

missed the last 2 days. Received a new APAP mask to try and its been miserable the last couple days...

Hopefully tomorrow

[SabreKiller]

Didn't make it today. Maybe tomorrow.

Try walking. Start out slow and take your time building up distance. Take a couple advil 30 minutes before you go if necessary. Walking does a body a world of good. Get a good set of headphones, fire up the music and get after it.
