Help me tweak/beta test a workout plan

Yeah his workout plan is not very helpful in building 6 pack abs, but his form is really excellent. I like to work out without weights because I'm crazy busy and crazy cheap.

Flora, didn't know that about burpees, thanks! I will desist.

And for the record, those staggered pushups are very punishing, I liked it.

I must send a pic of my abs so that you can be properly respectful
of the info that i send

Hey flora I'll trade you!

They're not as good as they used tobe but they're still there.

I believe the things you say and respect them, but you're welcome to post pics of your abs.

And Urban, too... I guess.


On the coffee thing, I drink a lot of coffee. It'd be kind of hard to keep track.


Two tiny little McDonalds breakfast burritos and four hashbrowns equals 1200 calories, by the way. I couldn't believe that.

Oh... also Flora do you have any opinion of protein powders, "meal replacements," and such? I can see this "eat 6 meals" thing is already kind of inconvenient.

If coffee isn't keeping you awake, no prob.

The high calories in the McMeal are mostly fat
and
I argue that protien in meals should not be counted as a calorie becasue it is not burned as a fuel.



The body is ready for food every four hours.
So, 4-5 meals is good unless you are sleep-deprived.
Sleep deprivation is where the sixth meal comes in.

"Smaller Meals" is a lot of drivel.
I can expand on that later.
I gotta go ta wurk



As to protien powder, it's excellent.

When, and with what are the next questions.

Meal replacements have different ingredients that protien powders

fat sloppy abs today

I hate protein powder. A nessesary evil when I'm bulking, but periods with to much oats'n'whey (usually in periods I'm working to much to cook, my wife don't cook very well nor healthy) my body seem to hate me.

you must mix it with orange juice, Dogdarling.

It's nasty by itself


we should go over simple meals again

Trying to keep orange juice down at 4dl a day. Love my teeth.

Here's an interesting exercise. They're called "Ricochets."

(Not the same thing as "ricochet jumps" -- jumping up and down to and from a curb, step, bench, etc)

Here's a write-up:

"Ricochets
This is done in intervals: 2 minutes on, 30 seconds off, Mark a 2 foot wide square on the ground with tape or chalk. Jump from corner to corner as fast as you can, jumping to different corners every time. This exercise is performed for a total of 30 minutes."

Here's a video: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2005/ricochet.mpg

I don't like the part where you're supposed to do it for 30 minutes (that seems both difficult and more importantly really boring), but I was thinking maybe one time hitting each corner could count as a rep and it could be used as a lower body/core building plyometric exercise.

Oh, are we showing off then? Awesome. Me before the accident:

ZEEEMER!!!! YAY!!!
Your rectus abdominus four
is VERY large on BOTH sides of the linea aspira!

I fight the boredom with an audio book
or just go over anatomy while doing.
The more I focus on my form, the better anyway

Ok, ok, I get it, you're the expert, point taken. My mistake.

You're so cute! I'm complimenting you with self-depreciating comments! But thank you, I worked hard for those delicious abs that I no longer have. I'm glad Mike was there with a video camera to preserve the awesome that was my athleticism forever.

OK, I am not aware of this injury to my precious Zimmer!!


I dont' want to derail the thread.
Only if you wnat to, please, send info of injuries and let's see what what can sew back together

I'll get an x-ray and post a pic of my abs later.
