Sounds solid! I love watching videos of Jeff Martone - a KB dude from Cali I think - it's like watching the muscle driver guys from Nc do snatches - it's artwork - keep up the great work!

3 weeks of a Japanese diet appears to have gotten my gut out of habit for a Western diet. A few more days of this and it's going to be a whole lot of tests as well as eating JP breakfasts @ home for life. A single bowl of oats/porridge and I'm bed-ridden for a day :|. Gluten Schmooten.

Well,
My 6 wk challenge is done. I officially lost 16 lbs and 7.5% body fat. Feel great with the exception that my brand new pair of RJB jeands are too big in the waist. I'm going to keep with the eating and extra workouts and try to drop another 10 lbs.

It's sweet that you care so much about summ3rhays's glutes.

Haha!

Thanks guys!

Anyone ever hop on an Assault fan bike? Absolutely bad ass, the ultimate Tabata machine, has protocols built in and you can make your own. I've found the only HIIT solution I need. 8 intervals and sled pulls to failure.

Sounds evil! I may have to try that
-
Cool let us know how that goes and damn the haters

I'm starting crossfit next week. Really looking forward to it
Let the hate begin…

Been considering that too - do a lot of squats and deadlifts (favourite exercise) in my current routine, and like how they're incorporated into crossfit…..and that the ultimate goal is overall strength as opposed to a bodybuilder' physique

Regarding Crossfit. Unless someone is really doing something very harmful in any kind of exercise, I would consider it great over doing nothing.

Good luck! Glad to hear you found a gym that you like! What is the name of the gym? I may know some of the trainers.
And McLain - assault bikes ARE extremely brutal - they are tuned to be about 4x as potent as the old school schwinn airdynes - we have a couple at our gym and they are fantastic for rehab work as well as interval training. Try doing:
3x 1600 / 800 / 400m resting 1:1 between each set. If you walk the next day, you left some on the table hahaSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fuckkkkk
I was 230lbs in June and I've lost 15lbs since. Over the last two weeks I started to get more serious about my health. I want to lose another 25lbs but also slowly build muscle. My main goal is fat loss though.
I really need a workout plan. I have a membership to a full sized gym. I worked out a lot when I was 18-22 but have only randomly lifted over the past 8yrs.
Right now I'm trying to keep my calories around 1650 while doing at least an hour of cardio and 30mins of lifting. My breakfast usually consist of yogurt with random fruit, nuts and granola. Lunch has been mainly a protein smoothie or shake. And dinner has been all over the place but most nights it's in check.
I know it's a broad question but does anyone have recommendations for a workout routine? Something that will help with weight loss.

Two days of tabata and moderate steady state cardio every other day with strength training at lease 3 days is what I'm trying right now. My macros are very low carb, a bit more protein, and plenty of healthy fats. I have shedded a few pounds since clamping down on the diet, which has only been about a week; no other changes to my routine.

It depends what your ultimate goal is Shane. If you're talking purely fat loss then cardio, if you want to be more fit, throw some weight training in there. Kettlebell workouts will actually cover both of those
I have personally found that steady state cardio doesn't do it for me. I feel like I get much more out of interval training and much less bored on a treadmill for 30 mins
As for diet, try to stick with low carb, high protein. And I don't mean Atkins where you eat all kinds of cheese and Ranch dressing just because it's low carb. Lot of veggies and all the meat you want.
Personally, I follow Paleo principles just not as strict as most. For what it's worth, I've lost 40 lbs in almost a year and dropped from a 38 waist to 32-34 depending on the pants.
Whatever you do, make sure you enjoy it and can stick to it. That is more important than anything
