Re: pull-ups it depends on what you’re going for. Obviously 200 strict pull-ups is not easy. I do strict pull-ups at lower count. Strict is a strength exercise, high count kipping is a stamina exercise. When I do them as a strength exercise I do strict with a weighted vest at a 5x5.
@Geo-I am thinking about doing stronglifts,how has the program been for you ?Give me a little detail here
Curious as to how one goes strictly without anything packaged/processed? I would say that I have a pretty clean diet, but is it easy to really do away with ANYTHING packaged or do we just mean most of the time. Looking for tips on what I can do for lunches that’s quick, but also considered minimally processed? I typically eat almost the same thing for lunch everyday to keep it simple and time is the biggest issue. @GEO what you do for lunches, etc? No canned meats or anything (yes I know loaded with sodium etc, but still better than alternative).
So many of you must not be married or have kids. Or, maybe you married extremely well so that you can work out like crazy while your spouse handles cooking and the kids. If so, congrats to you.
I lift weights in my building’s exercise room maybe three times a week. At work I find a few minutes here and there to do planks and some back stretching. For cardio I do dancing, hiking, and other intense physical activity.
But the most interesting tidbit in this thread is that krnyc might have something to do with trapezes.
I generally have leftovers for lunch, I make enough the night before. My dinners consist mostly of a veggie, plus a protein (fish primarily, sometimes red meat - I dont eat chicken), and some kind of carb (rice or potato). Sometimes I have a pasta with veggies + meat, sometimes I’ll make a homemade pizza (leftover scratch tomato sauce, freezes well) with veggies and meat. But the times I’ll eat something from a can? Next to never. I guess I eat yoghurt from a package, but that’s really the only thing. No juice, no milk. Just water, ginger tea and (decaf) coffee. If I have to pick up a lunch, I’ll get a veggie stir fry rice bowl or some sushi. The best part is the healthy eating saves a shit ton of money.
IIts called optimizing time, I work out during lunch or before work and get up early on weekends.
I would tend to agree that eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a lost of money…Had a roomie in college that complained it was too expensive all the time as justification for eating pizza. Once spent over $20- for HIMSELF at Taco Bell (albeit after a few adult beverages) - which was ironic, but also pretty impressive…
A pizza for my family is a $25 exercise. My grilled lamb chops with green beans and brown rice for dinner last night was $17 for all of us, plus that gave me and my wife lunch today. And I think grilled lamb > pizza. People think eating well is expensive, but not if you plan.
Lamb chops are good and all, but there’s not enough meat on them. By the time you cut them from the bone and get rid of the fat you’re left with three bites. At that rate, I have to eat 3.5 lambs to fill up. I’d rather have a kick ass gyro.
Switched to green tea about 2 weeks ago. Saving money, less calories, and there is absolutely no drop in energy throughout the day. adding a lemon to it is pretty awesome as well. Loving it.
No need to chose!
You should try a lamb pizza - “Lahambajin Pitza” - from this place next time you are in NYC
Damn, that sounds really good and I love visiting new pizza places when I travel. Too bad all three of their locations are somehow far away from where I normally stay in the city. Is East Harlem safe? Maybe CvM will escort me.
Where do you usually stay? They have location in both East and West village, which is close to pretty much everything.
East Harlem location would be safe too but a bit of a treck.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. The East Village location is only a 10 minute cab ride from Midtown. When it comes to the city, I have no concept of where anything is. I just hop in a cab and try to avoid talking to the driver.
I knew that. And he knows that I knew that.
I’m pounding out PowerPoint slides for Level II Equity, so I need a bit of silliness to keep me from going insane.
same here.
Even faster by subway. Cab drivers have a six sense for out of towners and will drive you in circles to jack up the fee.
