I'm in a groove. I was cleared last week to lift as much weight as I want by my Dr. and I've been tearing it up at the gym ever since. Somebody stop me!!

I don't use it for cardio. I suppose you could though. The only real cardio I do is basketball league every once in awhile. I'm mainly a weight lifter, with the occasional elliptical.
 
Whats your favorite post-workout meal?

I'm partial towards 2 scoops of whey mixed with chocolate milk, a piece of peanut butter toast with honey drizzled on top and a banana. Covers all the bases.

BTW, I use creamy Adam peanut butter. So good!
 
I do two scoops of Whey in water...I might have to try chocolate milk though. Don't really have a fave but I do enjoy the PB on toast. I probably do a chicken burrito more often than anything else.

I probably wouldn't hit cardio as much if I didn't play soccer. Have to get a little in. Think I'll probably pass on trying the jack3d with a cardio workout. Don't think I need that extra push.

Can you make what you just said, right now?
 
I go with a whey shake mixed with water. Heard that milk slows down the absorbtion of protien into the muscle, but have given up drinking milk anyway. Seem to never have the problems with soreness due to lactic acid buildup and the appetite is much better. Since I get protien from the shake, I usually do not load on more protien. Smoked oysters on crackers sometimes hits the spot. Will usually just grab what ever fruit we have at the house (bananas and grapes).

Good to hear. Might see you over at Lakeshore. Heard the Kids Club is pretty good and need to have my son playing with kids more his age. Been going in the evenings at 24hr and my son always wants to be around the big kids. He somehow learned to spit from them and let a luggie launch on a kid that was bothering him.

I've never heard that milk slows down the absorbtion. So much information out there these days you don't know what to believe.

Never thought about smokey oysters post workout. Sounds delish.

I do not think milk is detrimental and can only say that it works for me. My thinking is that there are multiple ways to get to where you want to go and choosing the path that works personally is best.

Took tours of Lakeshore and Brave Legion yesterday. Must have been running an early bird special when I was there because it was all seniors. Nice gym and lots to do for the kiddos.

Would love it if there was all of the stuff for the kiddos that is at Lakeshore and the boxing/MMA classes of Brave Legion at the same location.
 
Hit the gym today. Changed it up a bit since I felt like I was getting in a rut. I hit up the row machine:

That thing kicked my ass! I started off at level 5 and I thought it was a bit too easy. But I kept it at that setting & I'm glad I didn't increase it. I had a hard time going a full 10 minutes after I jogged on the treadmill for 10 minutes. I think I'm gonna start mixing that in on my back days to get warmed up & get a good cardio before I begin.

Added 30min of rowing today and 45 min on the bike before going to bed. Started to see some results from primarily lifting, but none of the fat builtup around my waist was going away. Going to be switching up my routine next week anyway because there are more than one of the exercises where I have maxed out the machine.

It was sometime around 4pm.

At 24hr, during the day there are alot of wierdo's, elderly, and a few milf's. At night, seems like a split of 18-20 yr olds and Biggest Loser wannabe's. Last night, had two teenage girls working out next to me and trying to one up each other in coversation about their sexual exploits. Another reminder I am getting old since all I could think of is if my little girl would do the same when she gets that age.
