I wanted to share my exercise routine with y'all. If the first day of the week were Monday then: [Monday] 3 mile run. Goal is to run as fast as I can and as far as i can with a minimal distance of 3 miles. Then 200 jack knives with a 10 pound plate. [Tuesday] bench and butterfly presses. Super setted with 4-6 sets. Bench weight is medium(Aim is to push high on the reps and cut up). [Wednesday] A 1 and a half mile run under 6 minutes. Then sprints with no rest in between intervals, just slow jogs. obliques [Thursday] 200 pull ups(Variated). Wides, diamonds, and behind the neck.Which i will split into 2 forms, hands facing me and hands facing away(Chin ups and pull ups). Upperbody plyometrics [Friday] Relaxed run with a 3 mile minimum. [Saturday] Rest [Sunday] Rest [Diet] I do not follow a diet. Just lots of carbs! Only water and 100% juice. Lots of meat and i eat junk foot and foods cooked in oils. What does your routine/diet look like.

Let's see, it's been crap, as I've been all busy with my family and my house is a mess and all kinds of stuff like that. But generally... Ice skating from 12-1:20, usually some coffee/energy drink before skating and that's it. Sometimes if I'm lucky I'll have some eggs. At night sometime, I'll lift weights, usually I'll do snatches, pretty much obsessed with snatches, though I suck at them and have poor technique. Then either squats or deadlifts, used to do a lot of clean and jerks. I squat Olympic style now, use less weight that way, though. I feel it's more helpful for skating, especially if I start doing sit spins and whatnot. Let's see, I do overhead presses, standing strict presses. Hard to get the weight up on those, it's so frustrating, I can seemingly always get my squat or deadlift up by like 20lbs a month easy, and then my overhead press using the same routine (of basically me f***ing around doing whatever I feel like that day) has gone up like...10 in 8 months? Let's see, I try to do pistols, too, but my balance sucks for pistols, but it's something I eventually need to learn to do for skating purposes. Occasionally, not as much as I used to (I say not as much as I used to for everything, because everything is a mess right now in my house, literally and figuratively) I did a lot of plyo jumps, box jumps, one leg jumps, etc. I also used to do punching bag work (I did that when I first started out, before weights) and lost interest/didn't make time for it anymore. OH! Last but not least, I do lots of slideboard. Usually I go on it without weights to warm up, then I go on it for 3-5 minutes at a time with 15s, occasionally 20s in each hand, so it turns into basically a skating farmers walk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY_4pjozF1w That's a slideboard. As far as my diet. Lame. Diet, sleep, and stress affect me the most of all things in my life, and they all go interchangeably. I'm kinda constantly trying to tweak it to be better. At the advice of some posters on here, I've been cutting out carbs for the most part, and feel much better. I found out rye bread and me agree, but majority wheat bread and me don't. So this week, as a pretty "optimal" diet, it was 5 strips of bacon, 2 eggs, a patty of breakfast sausage, and then pan toast made with bacon grease. That was "brunch" I guess, and then for second meal, similar smaller meal like that. Then dinner, a 1/4-1/3 head of cabbage, and 3-4 links of Italian pork sausage cooked in water with spices and a bit of spaghetti sauce (with dat dere soybean oil in it, yay...) This seems like a good diet for me, as the fat content means I don't get hungry very quick. That, and it gives me more cholesterol to make hormones. My problem eating a lot of carbs is I eat a ton of food. I'm the type of person that can eat a large pizza and then still eat more like an hour later. So so far, this seems like a decent diet, but as it's said "everything works...for a while." Also did it a bit on the advice of the crazy (but cool) man Frank Yang, he said when cutting he just needed to drop carbs. My big problem dietwise comes from the fact I live with my family (only mother and sisters), and don't have a job. So my mom buys all a bunch of processed food and then just tells me "You can get $20 worth of stuff for the week" so since I don't eat the processed food, I can't really eat very "balanced" like that. I don't have much for supps, either, cheap crappy multivitamins, fish oil pills, and b vitamin pills, and that's about it. I've had whey protein like twice, meanwhile my family buys like $30-40 worth of bottled water a month. Occasionally I take ginseng, too, again, cheapest crappiest grade pills of it from the dollar store. So yes, I could go on forever about how insane my family's nutritional and general money thought process is, but yes. _________________ The world would be such a better place if fish don't have bones.

With a name like 1000knives, I never pictured you ice skating lol Nice routine though! This is a light routine for me, so I guess you could say Im slacking too! What I need to do is double up the work, intensity, and reps/weight that I am doing now!! I probably hit a plateau on my gain since my work out is practically non-existant! makes me feel like a piece of crap... like i am not working hard enough!!

On a side note; carbs are good for you! It is a big myth that you need to cut them out of your diet to get toned/cut up. Along with the myth of lactic acid being the culprit of sore muscles. Which is far from the truth!! Hydrogen ion is actually responsible and the body needs carbs when you work out. that is the energy source for exercise and not to mention that the body needs a certain amount of carbs a day or it will eat the muscle and do other nasty stuff!

It is actually a very interesting but complex process! I had to learn it while i was competing in boxing for the sole purpose of being able to cut the proper way! I walk around at about 190-195 if i dont exercise. If i do, like now, I tend to weight in the 205-210 area. Im 210 now. Point is, I would have to cut down to 160. its a lot of weight that would have to be cut properly! getting rid of fat deposits isnt easy man lol

What got you into that olympic style exercising and dead lifts. Whats that all for, brute strength or something? Isolation of the lower body?

I love food to much man to go on a diet lol Ring dings and pizza and ice cream and onion rings... speghetti lol Im a fat person stuck in an athletic body lol

I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BELIEVE IN SUPPLIMENTS!!!!!! They are unnatural and evil! I believe everything should be done naturally!! I dont even take aspirin. TO each their own though 1000knives!

OP, are you in good shape? If so, were you always in good shape and this is just to maintain? Or are you in poor shape and have seen improvement/no improvement. I've got a potbelly I'd like to get rid of. I don't do much of anything in the way of exercise. The rest of my body is quite lanky, it's not a proportional fat that I see in other people (which could actually work to their advantage sometimes because they "look big"). I look scrawny but with a sandbag above my waist. Any tips or suggestion to get rid of it? How long will it take?

Jersey representing! I would say i am in pretty good shape! I'm 210 and have around 14% body fat. What I am chasing now is slow progress. If I double up, then I will be cutting at a decent pace! Which I plan on doing! For some reason I love exercise!! Its such a challenge but so freaking rewarding. You get to push yourself beyond your limits and it feels great!! I get high from exercising! A natural high.

But If I were you, I would start jogging!! Also, do some core exercises with light weights or lots and lots of walking with light dumb bells while you walk and curl them as you walk! The most important thing is that you need to do something. Anything is better than nothing!!! And the more the better!

ME while I was boxing. I weighted 165lbs and woked out 6 hours a day 5 days a week.
