MN5's 2010 get ripped plan
-
mate, it is all in the fuel intake. What goes in shapes what you look like. I train less now, and cardio WAAAAAY less now than a year ago, but because of the eating right, my body is, as you know, a tad different!!<br />
<br />
One basic thing I have noticed about our eating plans is we have never eating carbs for dinner - last carbs would be with lunch. So cut out your spuds with dinner. WE don't even notice it now, and our 12 year old daughter, who eats normally, is slimmed down a little also, thanks I expect to the zero carbs with dinner. No, she is NOT on a diet, we are just too lazy to cook extra spuds or whatever for dinner, so she eats what we eat for dinner - roast or stir fry veg, salad and then fish / chicken or steak!<br />
<br />
so you could cardio and train less, and eat right, anf get decent results.... -
I think to be honest that I'd rather give up the carbs than the booze ( not that I get pissed much anymore but everyone knows a cold ale or vino goes down a treat at this time of year even in shitty weathered welly ) so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. I'll keep up the exercise regime and should be fine. I'm not after drastic results after all. I just need to buy myself a cheap pair of scales now ! <br />
<br />
Razbra I do have a skipping rope which I do bust out every now and again and that is good fun. -
I am gonna get a punch bag to help me, cardio and something that is not as boring as running!

You need a certain amount of carbs to function well but yeah I think that meal plan suits me down to the ground, I've had mountains of salad with chicken/steak in the last few days. Also helps if you don't demolish a packet of chippies while watching a dvd, I managed not to do that last night so quietly proud of myself. -
plenty of gteens - but got to make sure you have veg - Mrs and I did salad for a few weeks and just had zero energy - trainer told us off - need the veg, something with a bit more guts about it than salad. <br />
<br />
I was never a believer about the 'niot eating carbs at night' shit, but I think from experience, that it does work! -

Root vegtables I hear are the shit. That must mean carrots, brochli, cauli etc... and silverbeet. All of which I happpen to lurve. In fact I will eat anything apart from quiche. -
[quote name='BartMan']oh, yeah, and avoid peas and corn - to starchy (carby) apparently also!!<br />
<br />
the ones you mentioned are the bomb, yes! Stir fry with a dash of chilli, soy, or any sauce - not too much though!![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I saw a doco( can't remember the title...King Corn maybe?) last year about the part corn plays in the obesity problem in the states. It was claimed that corn was the root of the epidemic more so than the vats of fat they consume annually.<br />
<br />
The production of corn in the States is so excessive they have mountains of the stuff sitting in reserve. <br />

What about jalenos? My favourite. -
I like to mix up my workouts to keep it interesting. I'll do around two distance runs a week (4-6 miles depending upon how I feel) and two high intensity interval sessions a week. For the interval sessions I usually do at least one sprinting session, and these are 100 meter sprints, immediately walk back to the starting point, then do a set of burpees. That counts as one set. I'll usually do at least 4 sets of those. I also have a 100 pound punching bag and I'll do a boxing workout if the weather is too shitty to train outside. For these I'll usually do a 1 minute round of punching at high speed, full power, immediately followed by a set of push ups, immediately followed by a set of sit ups. This combination counts as one set. I'll do five sets of those. Then I'll skip rope for at least 5 one minute rounds.<br />
<br />
I really like the interval training because it's short but really gets you fit. <br />
<br />
As Bart says though, what you eat is key. I'm just not that big on restricting what I eat. I have no problem training consistently. Eating healthy foods is more of a challenge for me. I love pizza and burgers. -
Walked up to the park ( via lots of steep hills ) with my 19 month old son on my shoulders ( I think he's about 12 or so kg ) . Did a few sprints whilst at the park, a few cheeky chin ups and then deliberately went the long way home ( again via some big hills ). <br />
<br />
Legs feeling it a bit this morning ! <br />
<br />
Davidav I've got a punching bag in the garage which is currently blocked by a spare bed, lawn mower and other such crap. Once I've tidied I'll get back into that for sure. Amazing how quickly that tires you out and it sure gives me an appreciation of how amazingly fit top fighters are. -
Family time, dinner and watching Wellington get their asses handed to them in the 20/20 prohibited me doing much yesterday but popped out for a cheeky gun workout. Warm up with dumbbells then ripped out some bicep curls ( using the barbell from my bench ) once I could do no more I IMMEDIATELY got under the bench with the same weight and ripped out some skull crushers ( not as many ). Awesomely sore arms after that !
-
Wifes family having a BBQ tomorrow which will involve a bit of BYC, volleyball etc. ( Well not if the weather does what it is supposed to ) <br />
<br />
I intend to knock back a lot of lean meat and prawns, lots of salad and bugger all ( if any ) bread. <br />
<br />
As I'm the only one who will be drinking I'll restrict myself to the 6 Macs Spring tides that I'll be bringing. Beer has fuck all carbs to start with, these have LESS than fuck all and aren't a bad drop in their own right.
