New Year Workout Accountability 2019....

Heck I think if 10 people answer you'll receive 9 different answers.

I have to have Prework out to get going, plus I like the Beta-Al to get the rush going, so I do Legion, Bucked up, or Total War in that category.

Protein is protein. Look for something with a high protein content and low cals, sugar, and sodium (if possible). I honestly couldn't even tell you what I am taking right now. If it fits in the right parameters and is on Sale I snag it. Also if I can replace

Haven't messed with any fat burners or anything like that so someone else will have to chime in.

Honestly if you just cut of some of the crappier food, cut down on the drinking (if you drink), along with eating slower/smaller portions you'll see the best results. IMO at least.

For protein powders, I have used in the past, I like Animal Whey but I don't like the green cloud that follows me around when I drink whey protein shakes. Don't buy in to the "anabolic window" mumbo jumbo. It's just that mumbo jumbo. I get all my protein from food and I take in around 170 grams per day and I currently weigh 273.

Fat Burners are usually just caffeine pills with a couple of other products and I don't use them. I have in the past and they can be good when used throughout the day as energy pills. The best fat burner is a good eating program, which is one you will follow, and a solid workout program.

Base your eating plan on your goals. Are you looking to drop a little weight, add on some mass or just feel and look better. As 150class said, drop the crap and adult beverages and you will be surprised at how far you can go with that. To go more in to it, you can also cut the simple carbs, sugars, breads and "starches" in favor of lower glycemic index carbs such as oats, steel cut oats, rice and sweet potato's. You can also look in to programs like Keto, I'm on it and I'm a big fan of it, Paleo etc. As I said, the best eating plan is the one YOU will follow. Not what's good for anyone else but you.

If it fits in the right parameters and is on Sale I snag it. Also if I can replace if with regular food that is high in protein I do that whenever possible.

Great info and thanks!

LOL! Yeah, I'm starting over again today. Salad for lunch and then back to keto for dinner. Probably axis backstraps stuffed with jalapeno and wrapped with bacon. Maybe another salad and some other veggie. Now, if I can just keep the little woman from making the rice pudding or the the pineapple upside down cake she's been wanting to make I'll be OK. I must be STRONG! LOL!

Dangit. She made the pineapple upside down cake!

Cake is the devil!

Finally got the ultrasound results back Saturday, and they said everything looks normal. Planned to start back where I left off on AX-2 yesterday, but a plumbing issue threw a wrench in that plan. I want to start back on a Monday, so I made up a workout to get me going today. Took it out on the patio, phone says 98 degrees.
Jumping jacks, high knees, and butt kicks, 25 reps each 2 rounds.
100 reps jump rope non-stop.
Push ups to failure, then dropped to my knees and went to failure again.
100 reps jump rope.
50 bodyweight squats.
100 reps jump rope non-stop.
50 reps each side Russian twist.
100 reps jump rope.
Came in the house and did neutral grip chin ups to failure, then jumping negative chin ups to failure.
Light stretch afterwards. Today is the first time I've been able to do 100 jumps of the rope without tripping up. Got it done twice today.
My sweat is sweating!

Went back to my previous routine, strength training, and away from Oly lifting. I just can't seem to get the snatch down properly. Getting under the bar is a lot harder than it looks. It was squat day and I over did it for sure. On calves, yep, over did it on calves. Tendonitis on both calves are making it a chore to walk. This to shall pass.

8/21 was arms and cardio for me

Been down here in port Mansfield since Wednesday so will be back at it tomorrow when I get home

Been down 30lbs most of this week. Sept goal met. Going for another ride in the morning, and maybe Sunday too, if the streets are dry. I sure miss riding after work during the week. Once it cools down a bit, I'll get the bike out after work. Right now it just sits on the trainer under the A\C during the week. Drives me nuts when I gotta do it that way! My diet has changed a great deal as well since I started back in June. Had my first gout attach couple weeks ago in my left metatarsals. That has changed my diet again too. I'd take up running. But Ankylosing spondylitis is keeping that from ever happening again.

I decided to skip the timed routines and stick with two heavy sets followed by two strip sets for awhile. The pump never gets old with strip sets. Chest and back supersets. Dadgum people killed my mojo this morning. Tried to get a giant set of strip sets in and EVERYONE wanted the same equipment.

Bench press/narrow grip bent over t-bar rows
Inverse grip bench press/v-grip lat pull down
Cable fly/ab roller/ball crunch
