The Summer Bod.

plan on racing downhill as in you havent done it??

that couch will be your friend after you break and arm or a leg.
 
that's insane, you're 5'6" and can bench 275? my friend Jake is about your size and benches 350 and that's absolutely ridiculous.
 
i really need to get in shape to recover from a year of excessive drinking and smoking. I probably cant run 100 yards without being outta breath right now haha so its all about biking and playing a lot of ultimate this spring to get back in shape
 
I'm in pretty good shape by the time summer roles around just from my track workouts. I'm a long distance guy though so I'm pretty tiny , 5'9" 140. Having really low bodyfat does help somewhat
 
lol pathetic. Ultimate? No way is that a really good workout idc what anyone says ultimate is just a bunch of hippy's who play it. The team at my school blows my mind how shitty they are. All of them are so skinny, no muscles, ok they can run, who cares.
 
Once I get out of hospital and get clearance I'll go back to 11 exercise sessions a week. Get my muscles back, put on some weight and get fit and strong again.
 
Hahaha what the fuck are you talking about? Unless you fucking suck, and the people you play with suck, you're pretty much running/sprinting the entire time.
 
rugby seasons started, getting back to working at the barn and horse back riding, hitting the gym, and running. I have to have surgery next month, so its setting me back. But I'm really watching my diet now so I'll lose weight that way.
 
i'm admiring myself in the mirror right now and i'd say my summer bod is pretty much on point. hurray for not having to work out but still maintaining a good physique!
 
anybody ever hit the gym and just can't seem to get the burn going on whatever muscle you're working on?

wasn't feeling it when i was doing triceps today and i couldn't figure out why. pisses me off more than anything to feel like i'm wasting time at the gym.
 
all time is wasted time

also, if you want to get in shape do crew

i did it sophomore year and i still have the muscle from it despite not working out for 2 years now
 
it's really fun. your arms get hacked up but it's a hell of a good time, and if you're doing pick up games with your homies you won't get bruised up nearly as bad as in real games anyways.
 
This thread is fucked and dildos...... NS you should know better than to even talk about this subject. I shall leave this here:

 
no carbs at night, 30 minutes of cardio before every workout.

seems to be doing the trick. been at it for about 4 months now. i've definitely trimmed down the old beer flab a bit and plan on sticking with it until my abs are exploding out like a bronze god and droppin pannies errywhere.

that's the key though. it's not about how hard you work out. you have to do cardio consistently and you have to cut out the carbs cause you just pack em. a 30 minute run goes for not when you have a couple sandwiches or some junk food for a snack at night.
 
This right here. You can hit the gym all you want, but if you have a big ol' beer belly covering up those abs you work so hard for, what's the point?
 
if you want to put on weight in muscle though, don't do as much cardio. theres a reason why cross country runners have no muscle on them and olympic sprinters are RIPPED.

if you've got fat to burn, do cardio and lift.

if you're skinny and wanna bulk up, or if you're already fit and want to get bigger, do 10 minutes cardio before your workout to warm up, but other than that keep it to short bursts of energy like sprints and suicides. the best option would be to pick up a sport. and on top of that, lift like crazy.
 
Oh, I completely agree with you, but when most people talk about that last minute crunch (no pun intended) for the "summer bod," I feel like they just want to shed a few pounds and get that six pack out for summer, which for most people just takes that extra effort to watch their diet and get on the treadmill to drop a little winter weight.
 
well duh. if you want muscle you have to lift, but there's no point in having muscle if you have a bad diet and don't do cardio consistently cause you wont be cut. if you work out for the ladies, most of them will tell you that they want to see a guy who's lean and has abs. you don't have to be a giant beefcake, but being cut is the key, and being cut is probably the hardest thing to do. it requires that you dog yourself and push through the pain of a miserable run, and eat the right foods (another thing thats really tough for most people to do when they're hungry for snacks at night or don't want to spend time preparing meals and instead chow down on cheap/easy filler crap).
 
yeah man i feel you

i'm just saying excessive cardio can actually deplete muscle. for being cut you gotta find the perfect balance between lifting and running, running and diet are essential though

From what i have seen from 100% of the "ultimate" players i have ever encountered or seen ( i like to call it frisbee which is what it really is), They are all just really skinny people who can't really play any other sport. Like lacrosse is so much fun, not evn that hard to learn how to play, and requires way more endurance, etc. just an example
 
Competitive Swimming. The workouts are really tough but if your already sort of thin, you'll have a six pack in 3 or 4 weeks top. The season just started so I'll be good for the summer. Plus you can eat whatever you want.
 
ill take not being that good at hockey over being good at ultimate any day. Ultimate is the stupidest sport ever, and the people are so set on how its such a mainstream and top sport to play etc.
 
ahhaahaaaa. that's funny. i always thought the same thing. it was always the little dickheads who fancied themselves tough guys but couldn't actually deliver / take a body check or dangle around with skill and instead had to run on foot with a little stick net whacking people and flinging a ball around.

i know that's not all it is, but that was just always my perception.. maybe it comes from going to a lacrosse-oriented high school where it was always the abnoxious, tiny, preppy cool kids who played catch with those things in the hallways n shit like it made them boss.
 
Or for the kid's that play hockey but hate a year round commitment. At my school the varsity hockey team is basically the varsity lacrosse team. And they're pretty fucking good.
 
I like how you're trying to personally attack me as if I actually play ultimate, just because you're a butthurt little lax bro.
 
not a personal attack at all...just more of a general statement about ultimate players. I find them as douchey, if not way more douchey then actual lax players just because there sport fucking sucks and is glorified 5 year old's game
 
nutrition is 75-80% of the getting in shape game

remember that, watch what you eat, and it eventually becomes habit to choose green beans over fries and stuff
 
lolololololololololol

Lax isn't for the kids who think they're tough but won't get on the ice.

Lax is more for the hockey kids and football kids who want to hit people during the off season. I play hockey and lacrosse, and I picked up lax after hockey because it was fun and physical as well.

that being said there are kids who pick up lax so they can dangle around and snipe top cheddar (it's respectable), but you put em on a pair of skates and any hockey kid will kick their ass.

Lax is more slashing/poke checks that hurt like fuck as opposed to full body hits. A hockey player could beat the hell out of a lax player anyday.
 
i'm planning on trying out for my college's lax team this fall so i'm tring to bulk up. i've been lifting between 4-6 days a week for the past 5 months. as summer comes around i'll start to work in more cardio to get more cut. i'm also planning on picking up ice hockey this summer.

lol@: ultimate frisbee, kid who said your muscle turns to fat eventually
 
haha the origins of lacrosse was a game in which indians competed on horseback, with sticks similar to those that we use today fashioned with sticks and twine.

the playing field was multiple miles in length, people died while playing.

hahaha
 
"Lacrosse, a relatively popular team sport in the Americas, may have developed as early as AD 1100.[1][2] By the seventeenth century it was well-established and had been documented by Jesuit priests, although the game has undergone many modifications since that time. In the traditional Native Canadian version, each team consisted of about 100 to 1,000 men on a field that stretched from about 500 meters to 3 kilometers long.[3] These lacrosse games lasted from sunup to sundown for two to three days straight."
 
They really need a sarcasm font on the internet, don't they?

Here, let's try that again.

ZOMG LIEK LAX IS SO UNORIGINAL AND LIKE TOTALLY BEGAN BECAUSE CHILDREN WERE PLAYING WITH PLASTIC BASKETS AND SO LIKE THESE BIG TUFF BROGUYS WERE LIKE DAMN BRO, LIKE BRO WE SUCK AT HOCKEY BRO SO LIKE LET'S PUT SOME OF THOSE PLASTIC KIDDIE BASKETS ON SOME STICKS IN OUR YARD BRO AND PLAY CATCH BRO. AND THEN WE CAN GET TOGETHER AND WEAR TANK TOPS AND SUCK EACH OTHER'S DICKS LATER BRO BECAUSE THAT'S BROCHILL BRO. BRO.

BRO
 
haha if you play hockey i get where you're coming from

i play hockey as well so this argument doesn't apply to me
 
I don't play hockey, lacrosse, or ultimate frisbee. I just like to argue for the sake of arguing. A lot of my family on the east coast actually plays/played lacrosse. I have nothing against it, I just don't like the holier than thou attitude that most players have about it.
 
haha i can tell

i feel you though, a lot of lax players have that attitude and i hate it as well. i try my best to stay away from it. kids go top shelf all the time in lax and then think they're soo good. anybody can chill in their backyard taking hundreds of shots until they're super accurate, that doesn't make you a good player or good at anything for that matter. defense at higher levels will fuck you up.

that's just one of the examples in my experience
 
This. I play but only because I find it fun and keeps me in pretty good shape. My team (JV) for school isn't the best but we have a shitload of fun and we're not all douchebags with that attitude.
