Workout

[02ducky]

Posting this for you guys that are staying active both mentally and physically.

Hope we can keep this one active.

Topics to discuss:
weight training
gyms- where are you working out
pros and cons of lifting
what works/what doesn't
workout style(s)
supplements- no steroid talk please
whatever else you find interesting and is helping you stay healthy


Thought of a couple more ideas

traditional vs non-traditional weight training (cross fit)
power lifting- max out!!
cross fit training
diet

I think you have a great idea going here, Ducky.

Snap Fitness in the Brighton area is a decent facility. My wif and I are members there.

I'm kinda not able to do anything upper body for some time ahead, but I'm gonna start going back and do legs and some core stuff.

Cool, thank you 02ducky.

Make sure you warm up before you start, stretch those muscles especially if you're working out after you wake up. If you're older like me just take it easy because we don't heal so fast and any injury will set us back further than when we were younger.

Hope so, I got back into the gym, 3 months ago to help lose a little weight for hunting. Prefer the bulk, but need to be a little lighter on the feet.

Couple years ago, I ballooned up to 230 and was way unhealthy. Back down to 205 or so, could still use a little work on the mid-section. One kicker for me is I need a hip replacement so I am not working out the legs as much or with that heavy of weight.

Going to 24hr fitness on Parker and Arapahoe- workout time is 1600 hours

Greeley finally has a somewhat weightlifting centric gym now so I'm going to be getting a membership there in the next month or two. That'll give me time to read Starting Strength 3 or 4 more times before I start.

Ideally I'd like to hit a 1500 pound total in lbbs, bench and deadlift by the time I'm 30. I'm not sure how realistic that is but we'll see how 3 months of SS goes and adjust goals from there.

Is it alright to discuss diet in here? I promise the word "juice" will not be used.

I go to CrossFit Salvo in Brighton.

I have a home gym that I use but I prefer free weights.

Go to this website and you'll see all kinds of different exercises.

Wow 1500, nice! So what kinda workout are you doing for that?

Diet is really important, no matter what your desired goals are while working out.

There are also, so many supplements and powders and bars and all that shit.... it would be nice to hear from trusted folks which ones suck, or are good, cost efficient, etc.
