Hey you SOB’s. There are a couple things that I have noticed generally with the good folks on this site:
1) Although there may not be a general consensus with what is going to happen specifically, everyone here agrees for the most part that SOMETHING is in the air these days.
2) In concert with #1, many of you are preparing for said event by purchasing shiny stuff, eat-y stuff and/or lead-y stuff.
3) Quite a few of you are some puffy bastards who could use to shave off some pounds.
Let’s face it. If something (ANYTHING) goes down in the near/mid-term, if you can’t perform basic simple physical tasks like running, jumping or punching someone in their fucking face without possibly having a heart attack, you are not prepared for what could be a life-or-death situation.
A bit of background on me for the folks who don’t know me much on here: I was a former high school and college athlete (track and field) and also a former Army Ranger. Plus my dad was ex-army and a total hardass, so I have had a workout ethic engrained in my since he made me bench 150 lbs. in 7th grade. As a result of this, I have made it a great pursuit in my life to seek knowledge through study and application regarding physiology, nutrition and fitness. I am more than willing to share this with the good folks on TBP, and I can give you a personal guarantee on it because this is some shit which I have tested on myself and other willing folks…
So enough of the intro. Since I will make the assumption that the majority of you haven’t done anything in a while this is an excellent beginner workout which will improve your cardiovascular capacity, your muscular and joint strength and help you shave of some of the lamp heating oil blubber on your gut. I call it the DUGENHEIMEN REP CIRCUIT and yes, both men and women can do it without the myths of men getting too lean or women becoming broad jawed men.
This workout is a circuit with light weights and each exercise requires 20 reps. It would be preferable to do in a gym, but if you think “I don’t have time” (which is BULLSHIT by the way), then you can do this in your apartment complex gym or even in your house (using body weight and a set of dumbbells – link to Amazon on the right and order a pair to make Admin rich). I’ll write this with gym in mind, but if you want to discuss alternatives then ask away in the comments.
1) SQUATS
then CALF RAISES
2) ABS (leg raises)
3) BENCH PRESS (or push ups)
then DUMBBELL FLYS
4) ABS (bicycles)
5) LAT PULL DOWNS
then DUMBBELL ROWS
6) ABS (crunches)
7) SHOULDER PRESS
then UPRIGHT ROWS
8) ABS (leg raises)
9) TRICEP EXTENSIONS
then DUMBBELL CURLS
10) ABS (crunches)
OK, this may seem daunting at first. The goal is to get through this circuit hitting all of your reps 3 times within 60 minutes so there is virtually no time to rest between sets. You won’t finish it at first and it will kick your fat ass. The schedule for this is 3-4 times a week. You will also burn so many calories that you will see significant results within the first two weeks guaran-fucking-teed. Think about it: for 3 to 4 hours out of the 168 hours in the week and you will be able to a) walk up sets without sweating through your v-neck, b) see your dick again, and most importantly c) actually stand a chance when the much more physically active FSA is chasing you down the street like the Walking Dead. REMEMBER – 20 reps for each with a light enough weight to make sure that you can do it. MINIMAL REST between movements.
P.S. – I personally used this workout to shave off 15 pounds in roughly 5 months without changing my diet. My cousin used it to drop 20 pounts in 7 WEEKS in conjunction with a much more strict dietary regimen. This is an excellent staring point to doing some good things in the future, but you gotta trim down and work the basics first.

Personally, I stopped doing crunches a long time ago. Do some planks instead (like the starting position for a push-up, but resting on your elbows). Keep the body straight, tighten your core, and hold it. If you can do 3-4 sets at 2 minutes a pop with a short rest in between, you’ll see the difference.
Throw in isometric push-ups (briefly hold the down position at each rep), squats, pull-ups/chin-ups, and curls and you’ll have an effective resistance workout. Aerobically, I walk almost every day at a good clip, and run wind sprints twice a week.
If you want to look like Ah-nold, you’ll need a gym membership and a steady dose of steroids. If you want to merely stay in shape and maintain lean muscle mass, a simple set up at home is more than adequate.
Of course, all of this implies that you’re eating well (no processed foods, fast foods, lay off the carbs, and make desserts a treat, not a habit) and sleeping soundly.

To answer some ?’s yes, no excessive leanness but it will promote muscular definition, especially when you shed some sub-cutaneous lard.
Next, fuck crossfit, total waste of $ and totally unnecessary with the right plan & consistency. Not saying that it isn’t effective, but goddamn it’s expensive ($200/month in some places). Grow some balls & find some inner motivation.

C30:
20 reps of each would put many on TBP in traction.
Good post, though. I hope someone sets aside time to reach the goal… I don’t think the average reader realizes what you are saying about CE, so good show. I will add this, first and foremost:
If you’re out of shape and have made the resolution to get in shape, control your burst of motivation and smooth it out. Start with realistic reps, don’t burn out or hurt yourself with some pipe-dream of being ah-nold in a month. Work with low or no weight and be concious of tendons and joints.
If you do C30′s workout, even with low weight and even if you can’t pull it off at first, just aiming for it will increase your energy levels and metabolism…. work with that, slowly over time.
I wager one would drop more than 15 lbs in a month.
As for a gym, fuck off C30, I totally don’t have time. I barely even post during the week here anymore…. BUT
I DO have time to work out every morning (rest on weekends) and have been. I don’t have room for a bench, but push-ups/crunches/kettle bells and most important SHADOW BOXING, BAG WORK and BURPEES.
No room, no gym, no matter, no excuses. If you can’t hold your own, you’re rolling the dice.

You guys want to loose weight??
Come join me in a round of chemotherapy! lay around all day long for a week and strip 14 pounds off your frame in a mere 14 days.
No workout required, just a few bruises on your arm, patience while the “lose weight solution” drips into your arm, perhaps a few days dreaming away after treatment (since you won’t feel like getting out of bed) and that’s all there is to it.
Of course, there is the small problem of reconditioning yourself after the week in bed so you can get the strength to hold your pecker out and not pee on your feet, but that’s a small effort on your part.
Plus, after the first weight loss cycle, you can eat anything you want – cereal with honey and cream for breakfast, 5 Brother burgers for lunch, cheesecake for desert or, hell – eat it for supper.
You’ll put on a pound or two and then, guess what?? You get to go do it again and drop another 10 in 3 days. Soon you will be a mere shadow of your former ballon shaped self and only need plastic surgery to lop off the folds of skin falling out your pants leg or slipping over your collar as it falls away in folds from your formerly fat neck.
Such fun! Anyone up for this, just come with me next Monday and we’ll peel off a few together!

Colma:
One can ALWAYS find time to make it in the gym but you have to commit to it. Since I work 11-12 hour days I get up at 6 to do it. gotta do what you gotta do. Still, even if you can’t peel out an hour fron your day, any time to work out will do. you can do this whole workout with body weight and a light set of dumbbells in your living room if you like.
For everyone else, Colma’s spot on. the goal is to just finish this within an hour. If you aren’t there in 60 minutes then you’re still done. If you want to stop after 20 minutes then that’s fine too. Just the effort will give you some extremely serious results. When I was big boy up there I couldn’t jog a lap. In shape me was running pretty easy and feels great. Use light weights that you think look girly and finish the movements for 20 reps. You will not be disappointed.
LLPOH:
Actually Fat Joe brought Big Pun out. Pun was so good that he was writing Joes rhymes for him for years. Then Pun died from complications of being a big fatass, Consequently Fat Joe lost all the weight since then.
Steve:
Planks are great as well but I prefer dynamic training because it mimics movements. Then again I look at is as training vs. just staying in shape. Even those horrid ab workouts have function in real world situations such as wrestling someone off of you or pleasing your lady friend. Mine prefers the crunch, even when I just feel like planking.

Y’all c’mon down to Persnickety acres where I’ll get you on the small-farm fitness program. None of that fancy high-falutin city slicker equipment stuff. You’ll get some REAL muscle by:
-stacking 300 60lb square bales (that’s hay for you city folk) 10′ high before starting on your regular chores;
-hooking up poorly designed 200lb tractor implements using nothing but your own two hands;
-holding a full EPA-compliant 5gal diesel can above your tractor’s fuel tank for 10 minutes while it drains at 500cc/minute (thanks EPA!);
-shoveling all the used bedding (crap) out of the horse’s stall and into a big wheelbarrow (this is a good one for the lady of the house who is the sole reason for the horse’s presence);
-once you’re bulked up on those, move on to the advanced exercise: pull, chase, scare, and wrestle a 1400lb steer into your trailer so it can become 700lbs of grass-fed meat in your freezer! Repeat once and then swear off trying to raise beef at home. Chickens are easier to catch and do less damage when they fight back.

How much point is there to being in top physical condition? To paraphrase Lincoln, you can outrun some of the people all of the time, and you can outrun most of the people some of the time but you can’t outrun all the people all of the time.
Something for the survivalists to cogitate on. Yep, your mountain cabin with Kevlar curtains and your Barret .50cal may seem to be enough and if not your lean perfectly fit body can no doubt run 5 miles uphill to a well prepared spider hole but all it takes is some fat motherfucker standing a half mile away by his out of gas Cadillac Escalade to see you pop out to take a leak and put a .338 in your gut to ruin all of your carefully laid plans. He’ll be dining on your food stockpile that evening if he doesn’t conk out climbing across the valley to see what he came upon.
Nope, there is really no reason to bust your ass to to try and stay as fit as you were when you were
25 because your body is as old as you are. You might be the same weight you were at 25 but you aren’t 25 anymore no matter how hard you try because you don’t heal like you did at 25 and a real 25 year old will show you just how important that is!

Hey C30, excellent advice.
I have my own garage gym – simple set up: impact flooring; mounted pull up bar; 5-35 dumbbells; resistance bands; medicine balls; jump rope; paralell bars, gymnastics mats, Plyo box. Mostly I do body weight exercises (every variation of pull up, push up, burpee, box jumps, yoga, and gymnastics imaginable) and some efficient compound joint exercises with my dumbbells (squats, thrusters, lunges). But the equipment and that stuff I’ve built up over the years – and is more to keep it entertaining and give me ways to push my fitness farther, since I’m already fit. Most importantly, I try to cover distance on foot… Run, hike, sprints, walk. Over any kind of terrain and in any kind of weather.
For anyone who is seriously out of shape or overweight, most of the equipment I’ve got in my gym would be of little use. Beginners can start SO simply. Get a pair of shoes and start covering distance on foot. That is the most important in terms of survival, and until you shed those lbs, you can’t really do body weight exercises (it’s funny watching fat people try to do pull ups). It really doesn’t have to be very complicated at first, just get to where you can walk 5 miles, then hike it with vertical distance, then run it at a fast clip. If you want ripped muscles like C30, or want to be a 35 year old woman who can do pull ups, then yeah you’ll need a gym and something more complicated. But for true fatties, walking is the foundation you have to lay down first.
And people DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE DIET. 4 Oreo cookies have 280 calories. If you eat just 4 Oreos a day for 2 weeks – congratulations you’ve gained yourself a full POUND of pure fat. This is just 1 example. Conversely, if you do no exercise but simply eat 200 fewer calories per day for 1 year, you’ll lose 20 lbs. Small caloric increments over time matter a lot. That is how most people get fat. To truly lose weight and keep it off, you have to do it the same way – cut calories by a small amount consistently, over long periods of time. I treat eating like a bank account, I want the max nutritional return I can get for the 1800 calories I can consume each day (at my size, this is due to exercise… If I were sedentary and wanted to maintain my weight I’d have 1200 calories). If you are fat you have quite simply been putting calories on your credit card, so to speak. Every extra lb represents the irresponsible caloric overspending you have done. Clean it up people. Be responsible with what you shovel in your mouths. If you can’t balance your dietary budget, how can you expect the Fed to balance its budget? Metabolic math is so simple. Earn your calories, spend them wisely, don’t spend more than you earn.

Sangell, I’m in my mid 30′s and not in the best shape and still know your comment is bullshit. I know 60 year olds who are in better shape than me – a few in much better shape. They aren’t 25, not even 35, but they can run and do a lot of physical work, and I’m embarrassed not to be in better shape than any of them. Your comment sounds wimpy and fatalistic.
I agree with SAH on walking – when I used to live in Chicago I walked at least 2-3 miles every single day, and often 6-10 miles, and I wasn’t ripped but I sure was in decent cardiovascular shape, and many pounds lighter. With my farm situation now I have more muscle strength than ever, but since I drive anywhere off the farm itself I need to get more cardio exercise to maintain and improve that essential aspect.

So what happens when fatty’s escalade catches a molotov from some batshit mayhem looter?
There’s no reason to not get the metabolism going, man, and the reasons to are innumerable.
C30: I’m telling you…. I used to go to certain fight gyms but the time situation to go, work out, and come back is waaaay too much. Trust me. No less, if a degenerate in a 3X5 solitary cell can stay mean, my dumb ass in a messy garage can. That’s the point. Plus swimming and running and I’m ok… can do better, but not being a complicit shitbag.
SAH: I wish I wasn’t rooming so I could have more room like that…. But just body weight excercise will do wonders without ending up with those braces the meat heads in cross fit gyms have on their elbows and knees.
Diet? Funny thing, but what one eats and when has had the best result for me. My job alone burns twice the calories of most… easily…. but I lean towards that camp of diet. Nobody’s gotten fat from eating too many vegetables… what do I know but anecdotal though?

SAH says: “I treat eating like a bank account, I want the max nutritional return I can get for the 1800 calories I can consume each day…. If you are fat you have quite simply been putting calories on your credit card, so to speak. Every extra lb represents the irresponsible caloric overspending you have done.”
Thanks for putting it in those great motivational terms, ones I can relate to. Time to pay down the bill. And get toned back up, while I’m at it.

Cutting the booze dropped 30lbs in 2 weeks, no joke.
Anger+Sweats= dropping some baggage
And all this non inflation should cut some consumption unless there’s some Giffen Effect.

I ride a stationary bicycle 45 minutes a day, 7/365. Pretty fucking stupid when you realize you won’t be able to ride away from the looters.

Hey 30…a few other things can help.
1st is CLA and L-Carnitine…both work as fat busters.
2nd is a high protein low carb diet….think Atkins or the Paleo diets .
3rd…exercise..just walking 30 minutes a day a few days a week at a brisk pace will
get you into shape. Once you get pass the 30 minute mark..up it a little each day
I had a friend who was little guy but he could whip ass on guys a lot bigger than him…why cause he was in great shape and could avoid getting whacked…after about 3 minutes of the fatties swinging at him they were whipped and he’d tear their asses up…plus he fought golden gloves .

You and ya fat ass. Yea I called ya fat. Look at me. I look so good naked my underwear’s always horny.
How much you wanna bet not a SINGLE ONE (yea, I yelled it) of you lardasses is gonna follow any of this regimen. Sure, you’ll talk about it. Next week. Sure, tomorrow. “Yea, I gotta trim down, lose this 5 pounds (no, fatty. first, trim is something you do to hedges. your big butt needs dynamite. second, a 5 pound loss off of all your guttage won’t even show.
Goddam I’m SICK (yea, yelled it again) of this conversation. Do you have any idea how many of these very same discussions I’ve had with fatties asking for “advice” about how to get in shape. None of em act on it. Mofo this weekend talked all about he was starting to get in shape, then proceeded to BUY A COOKIE with his coffee at starbucks. WTF???
bitches. please. face it: you fat. you and that hidei (plural of hideous) double quadruple chin. you disgusting. you always gonna be disgusting. you not gonna exercise all that lard. and you have absolutely no real discipline so stop talking about how your gonna lose weight/poundage/guttage/that gawdawful gut. you ain’t. you ugly. ugh-ly. get it? bad karma is being your mirror. worse karma is being your chair.

Sangell: Physical conditioning and training trains and conditions your mind as well. You don’t have to be jack’d as shit like Cynical(+)30, and you don’t have to be in the same shape as u were when u were 25. But Cynical’s point is, you’ve gotta get the fuck up and get active. Strenghten ur mind and strengthen your body because life, death, freedom, bondage (different meaning for Stuckey), winning and losing OFTEN comes down to seconds and inches and often times we lose because our mind quits, BEFORE our body does. Now i’m gonna go crack open another cold one.

No. I ate nothing but tomato basil soup and small pieces of fruit the first day, guzzling water, and then ate nothing at all the second day and drank water sparingly.
I’ve done it in the past to make weight for sports etc.
If I cut pop and drink nothing but water+watch what I eat for just a week I typically drop 10 pounds right away, 5 in the second week, and 5 in the third. 20 pounds in just 2-3 weeks isn’t that uncommon.
After that, I have to start exercising.
I know its not healthy, hopefully this time I will be able to bounce down and stay down. For celebrating my weight loss I ate a small bowl of gumbo with an apple.

Wendler’s 5/3/1 with 3×20 accessory work. Sitting shoulder press is for girls work your core and do standing overhead press. Other then that good stuff. Go big or go home. Paleo diet in the morning and afternoon high protein no carb then eat whatever for dinner. No food after 9.
Chocolate is the problem… and one of the major food groups.

“Go big or go home.” – Author Unknown, however this particular statement often precedes bodily harm. Or a highschool football game.
“Paleo diet in the morning” Sure just as soon as I finish my whey protein super shake, water pills and atkins diet.

I’ve done 5/3/1. It was cool to break up the general workout sched. Not recommending it for people who are out of shape as fuck. This regimen is more of a cardio exercise than a strength charting/building workout like 5/3/1. It’s also easing people into both compound and iso exercises who may not be familiar with them. I say let them sit to get the movement down if necessary. Mobility is probably just as much of an issue with folks who don’t regularly read T-Nation and EFTS articles.

Anybody notice that the younger folk with posts other-than-doom pull links from other-than-doom sites?
Anyway, this post is old….. did anyone who was motivated by it stick with their guns inspired by BiggyC’s boot to the ass?
I am on tg break and WAS going to skip a workout and drink coffee all morning and write term papers but thanks to the link above, whoever it was, I’m going to do a workout.
Then tomorrow too, right before I gorge myself with turkey and taters.

There…. a good hour long sweat-out.
My use of my leisure is now optimized.
Now for a cigar and writing.
HOW IN THE HELL COULD YOU BE A DESK JOCKEY AND NOT WORK OUT?!
No fucking wonder there’s a bunch of grumpy-butts noticably spiralling into madness.
As much as I want a desk job, I can tell I’m going to be shifty in my cubicle.
