STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[baltimoregutta]

Overreaching =/= Overtraining.

 

[jbuch2]

Up to 177..from 157 pounds in January. Been working 5x a week, eating well and what most would consider healthy and running 5 miles a day 3x a week. I'm telling you, never been more happy with my body and the changes I've made. Tell people every day the change is up to you, and you only. Some of us have restraints on the amount we can lift, or the amount of time we can dedicate to getting stronger, but it's all about the mindset and how you approach it.

On the path to become a Division 1 Baseball player and beyond..

Stay healthy and positive my friends..

Overtraining is good. There's even something called overtrained athletes syndrome which makes your testosterone levels so high you test positive for steroids.

Sincerely,
Brian Cushing

and to hit on this university gym topic.

I graduated from Texas A&M and the rec center is incredible. There is better equipment than you will find at any chain gym. There are also 10 full basketball courts and a third floor full size track above them.

The best part though are the girls. That is enough motivation alone to go lift haha

Also, you will always find athletes lifting there and playing basketball. While Manziel was red-shirting, he would always be there hooping. I'll never forgot when my roommate came home one day and told me he was playing with this crazy athletic white kid who said he was on the football team. He asked me if I've ever heard of some dude named "Manziel" on the roster lol

I lift at my rec center too (Arizona). Its not very close to my house, but its worth the trip. The equipment is top notch, and there is something special about a college atmosphere. I dont know what im gonna do when i graduate 

6 ball courts, 1 indoor soccer court, an outdoor soccer field, 2 full sets of dumbbells up to 150lbs i believe. only thing we are short of is benches and racks. I think we have 6 of each and on a busy day it can be damn near impossible to get on one

I always make instant oats and eat it bland. But today after my morning run, my GF's Dad made me this amazing bowl of  steel cut oats with cinnamon, nutmeg,  & vanilla.

 I definitely need to start "doctoring" up my morning oats because this little bowl of heaven made me feel like I was eating dessert. 

Wonder if he'll make me a pot to go....

They closed my gym in Spain early today

They were supposed to close at 4, I got there at 2:55, closed

Went and did pull-ups on the beach instead.

I continue to lift at my schools rec center (Sacramento State) as an Alumni Member. So much cheaper than going anywhere else, and I feel like its much nicer than places such as 24 hour fitness, etc. One of the main reason I dont want to relocate

 

[luckyluchiano]

Did 8-135, 5-185, 3-205, 2-225 in deadlifts today, 15 min HIIT on elliptical, 5 min on stair climber.

 

[Nujavez]

that's a lot of lower weight sets/reps. I feel like that could take away from you lifting heavier weights.

I usually do warm up set of 135x5 then wait for a few minutes and go straight to heaviest i can do for three sets of 5.

dentist said i can't go to the gym for a week after i got my teeth taken out. my weight seems to be maintaining at 156 since wednesday even though ive been eating a bunch of ice cream and yogurt lol

Anyone use brio freeze gel? My brachioradial muscle has been stiff for some days now. Can't extend my arm further than maybe 120 degrees. I look so dumb walking with my arms curled.

Yup, all delicious flavoring that really doesn't add much of anything negative to the mix. Your girl's pops must be from the caribbean.

There is a park across my gym that recently went under an entire renovation and they built a workout station in place of benches by the basketball courts.

I've been doing park workouts at least twice a week for past few weeks, especially when it's just too nice out to be inside the gym.

Getting my pullup reps up .

Yea, even though its hot/humid I enjoy running outside. Its been about two weeks since I've been in the gym due to an elbow strain. So its been cardio and body weight exercises . I miss being in the gym and lifting heavy but I gotta listen to the doctor and take it easy

Lol, anytime I tell people what I put in my oats they look at me like I discovered Holy water.

West Indians know.
