wanna see what happens when.......

[fund razor]

I did the big toe once... but I don't wear flip flops. It was tennis shoe versus the corner of a monitor speaker loading out from a bar gig at 3am. Ended up losing the nail. It did grow back and everything. It was odd having the nail slowly grow back over the flesh part.

I just don't do flip flops. The youngsters that came along after me seem to like them. I knew some guys who wore them out. (Not boating, not in the shower or around the pool) Out at the bar. In the city. I didn't get it.

Hope that you heal up quickly. I hear that when you are on roids, and you stop working out, you get fat.













(It's a joke, he is not on roids.)

i wear flip flops everywhere, usually wear them till first snow. they are the ultimate shoe to make sure you dont get ****ed over by your friends when you pass out. there is a good chance they will fall off!

LOL!

its funny cause i get asked questions like that all the time. i think the key to that statement is "stop working out". rather you use steroids or not you will probably gain substantial fat if you stop working out.

but the #1 thing to make someone "fat" is what is being put in their mouth and not lack of chemical in the muscle.

i had a nutritionist when i was competitively bodybuilding and he always told me "there are no fat people in concentration camps" sounds harsh but its very true...

it would be cool if we had chris organize a SOS weight loss challenge...

I want to drop about 20 pounds so the first thing that that I am doing is not cardio, but starting to lift again. I need the regained muscle mass to burn calories for me.

bad idea! the added muscle will not burn enough calories to make any difference...

i could make a suggestion for you if ya want

But I won't look as fat.

Ok... as long as the suggestion is not to cut off my head... I'll bite. You are a professional. I am curious.
Other ideas were to switch to water from all other beverages and cut down on drinking alcohol. I'll bet that I get a thousand extra calories a day that way.

12 ounce curls are not considered lifting.

This is my rationale for drinking pints. :sifone:

I lost 25-30lbs by cutting soda down to 1 per day from 3 or 4 and drinking water the rest of the day. Made a huge difference in the way I felt too....

Also switched to Diet Red Bull and Vodka. :cheers2:

If you figure at least a hundred calories per soda... that could be a couple thousand calories a week.

do you have access to a gym or health club?

do you have access to a gym or health club?

I used to belong to Bally, but do not have a membership anymore. I do have a stationary bike, some good free weights, and a wieder machine for presses, butterflies, reverses etc.

For cardio... I have a really big yard and a really small mower. In the winter... two driveways and a small shovel.

 

[viperfitness1]

how serious are you about losing the weight? btw thats not considered cardio

I am serious. Although I was kidding about the cardio.
I am 42, tall, and weigh 245-250 when I could easily weigh 225. I would feel much better and probably live longer.
I do lose weight fairly easily when I put effort in.

it would prolly suck all the blood out of me! thats what the tv ad says anyway

 

[Airpacker]

you ever shoveled a 2 foot snow dump of wet snow from 2500 sq ft of driveway? Try it sometime and tell me its "not cardio" .

It almost as hard on the ticker as getting a 500lb snowmobile unstuck in 4 feet of snow which I would think counts as weight lifting too.

Ok... so what do you consider cardio? Would fast stationary bike with some resistance be enough, assuming that my heart rate increased 50% and was sustained?
My diet does have to change. We eat too much carbs and too much fats at my house.
