Title: Core Commit 2013 Round 1, Jan 7 to Mar 17
Post by: littleman on January 03, 2013, 01:25:29 AM
Okay Core, come start the New Year right!  

Going along with Ergophobe's suggestion we're starting over.  This round will start on Jan 7 to make it clean with the new year.  If you are exercising this week you could mention it as your efforts for week 0, but I will not tally it up for the weekly count which will start next week.

To participate all you need to do is state your goal workouts per week and then do your workouts.  The weekly tallies will help to motivate you.  You and everyone else will see if you follow through on your commitments.

Join the Core Commit and make 2013 a great year!

So far we have:
Rumbas 3/week
Littleman 4/week
Drastic 5/week
Ergophobe 4/week
Eljefe3 5/week

I just did 20 pullups today for the first time in maybe 15 years. The extra day or two a week I get from this has been a subtle but huge boost for me. If you are on the fence - join us!

I did my first 5 full rom pull-ups the other day. Thrilled! The Commit is deff helping.

When we started at all this I think I was around 7 pullups, so you should be at 20 by 2014 ;-)

Realistically, our very different body types probably makes the pullup thing a lot easier for me. I'm a small skinny guy so strong relative to bodyweight doesn't make me all that strong in absolute terms!

Pullups are super satisfying, I guess it is the raw ability to pull your own body up -- to be the master of your own weight.  Congrats guys.

I've missed a few so I might as well join this one. I was doing 5 days a week for years, but I started in on Intermittent Fasting with a LeanGains variant and was advised to cut back to 3 days a week in the gym. I've kept to that over the past year and cut about 12kg. I'm still looking to cut a few more kilos and stay roughly the same strength.

I'm in for 5 days this round.  Nice on the 20 pull ups Tom.  I get to 10 and call it good, give it a 2 minute rest then another 10.

4/4 - double session today. Weightlifting early morn and climbing afternoon.

My legs were trembling walking back to the car after climbing, so not sure it was the best idea!

Eljefe3, I added you to the list.
Bill, the due date for reporting is Monday for the previous Monday through Saturday -- the idea is to have the weekends to catch up if you fall behind.  Ergophobe just finished this week remarkably early.

Post by: ergophobe on January 11, 2013, 04:18:25 AM
Usually I do Sat/Sun as my main workouts, but Sun was a sloth day and then I had commitments to exercise with friends Tues noon, Wed morning and Wed noon, so... I ended up with four workouts, but Wed noon was not exactly my best performance ever. Didn't die, though, so that's always a successful climbing day.

Taught a friend to ski today too. My wife is kicking my butt though - she's doing P90X and that's 6x/week (and hard workouts).

I'm starting this new job and I need to be available during business hours, so I'm working out in the evenings, after dinner and getting the kids ready for bed.  The nice part is that the gym is nice and empty after 10pm, but it is sort of hard to drag myself out of the house at the end of the day.  Unless something goes wrong I'll be completing my last workout for the week tonight.

OK, I guess Tom can't give a short answer. If you have limited time, skip all my crap here and click through on the link at  the end. It will inspire you.

>>Anyone have any goals they want to state for this round?

Not much ofa goal person in terms of exercise, but maybe a good idea. I'm going to set four "targets" with the "goal" of hitting 3/4.
- 10 pullups with 25 pound plate (at 5 right now, but that was only my second try in the last 30 years!)
- 50 pushups (did 43 the other day)
- deadlift 250 pounds (at 210 this morning, up from zero after breaking my back last March)
- skate ski Glacier Point and back in under 2:30 (did 2:35 ten years ago when I was skate skiing a bunch)

Last round I knocked of two long-standing goals
- get back up to 20 pullups (I mentioned that one)
- hold a four-minute plank - my wife was timing me and I was screaming vulgar expletives at the top of my lungs by the end, but I made it.

I hadn't tried a plank for months, but have always had this idea that four minutes would be a good number. I decided to go for it because I got inspired by this article

It's easy to say. We'll see where I'm at come March! I've lost a *lot* of muscle over the past 20 years and would like to put some of it back on and deadlifts are some of the most functional muscle you have (IMO). I've been lazy about it, but this will get me to work on it a bit I think.

4/4, did all my workouts in the late evening this week.  I am starting to really like it.  As I mentioned before the gym is nice and empty, sometimes they even turn the music off, which is a really blessing.  Another big plus is that I go a couple of hours after dinner which means I have the fuel of the meal boosting my energy.

> I have the fuel of the meal boosting my energy.

That's what I thought as well John, however I did quite a bit of researching and it seems - if you're looking for weight/fat loss - that eating before a workout will burn the food in your body rather than the fat. Also I'm not able to give it all I got if my stomach is full. Almost puked the other night doing dead lifts..

On the nights where I workout at 8 or 9 - I usually eat very very light and do a good heavy meal when I get home at 10-10.30. Good thing also that lifting kind of takes some of the hunger away hence doing smaller portions with high protein works for me.

4/4

Quote from: Rumbas on January 25, 2013, 12:18:10 PMeating before a workout will burn the food in your body rather than the fat.

This has been asserted, then debunked and de-debunked more recently (the whole question of working out fueled or unfueled that is). Not too long ago they were saying "carbs fuel the furnace that burn fat so if you work out on empty you won't burn as much." Perhaps next year it will be de-de-debunked and they'll be back to that. I don't know.

But I do believe that unless you're an elite athlete, these are small considerations, optimizing around the edges, and the key is to get there and do something. Any program is way better than no program and the most important thing is to remove obstacles to action. If eating dinner then going to the gym works for you, it works for you. Just keep at it.

4/4 here.  I started the week pretty sick, so I pushed all the workouts to the last 4 days of the week.  I was far from 100% and the workouts lacked the usual intensity, but I'm glad I still went.  This week I'm traveling ( ::)) -- I may end up having to do calisthenic to get it all in.

Wow! How are the hamstrings today? I didn't make it to the gym once last week so probably making negative progress on the deadlifts myself. So are we deadlifting on Sunday morning? I think I can pull the same numbers as you, as long as you lift in kilos and I lift in pounds ;-)

And then there's this old saw: "Failing to plan is planning to fail."

I've been doing a lot of endurance stuff lately - finally got into the gym today and I'm weaker on deadlifts than I was a couple of weeks ago. As a general rule, you're more likely to find me trail running at 6am than drinking at 2am... so I'm planning at least one run to the beach and then maybe deadlifts on Sunday. See ya there!

I started "couch to 5k" a few weeks back, and have been doing the run/jogs 3 days a week. Last week I was a bum because I was prepping for miami so I was up late working every night which made me feel like a turd in the mornings/all day. So I was 2/3 vs 3/3.

Tomorrow I plan on starting back to normal.

So put me down for 3 a week  ???

I don't know what I was thinking - I guess I forgot in the moment that you were on here. We missed a great opportunity to have now *four* members of the The Core work out together, but it was a fun weekend anyway and great to meet werty, Rumbas and Bill.

As it turned out, my legs were destroyed from my run on Saturday. I almost always run on trails, but 9.5 miles on pavement left me pretty wiped on Sunday anyway.

4/4 for me last week.

Done!

Just don't get too carried away with that getting back to normal stuff. Could lead to terrible things.

I hate deep friend cigarettes....

4/4

Made a shot at one of my goals for this round - experienced major muscle spasms and limped into the finish at 2:40. I still might be able to hit my 2:30 goal, but this was such a painful experience... This was in the context of the first skate ski race I've ever done and the first race since high school and one thing I learned - people who do this regularly are really fast ;-) For the second time in a row this race was run, the overall winner was a woman in her 40s (not the same woman either).

Hey man, I told you you could run to the beach with me ;-)

I am sorry we didn't do a group workout with you, me, Rumbas and werty. That would have been awesome, but I did swing by the hotel gym and it did not inspire me.

Quote from: ergophobe on February 13, 2013, 11:14:25 PMAs a general rule, you're more likely to find me trail running at 6am than drinking at 2am...

Well, if werty and Rasmus didn't keep me up drinking until 5:30~6:00AM then I might have joined in something. Needless to say I did not even see the beach. ;)  My return to the gym has been a bit painful after my brief hiatus.

week 10 4/4

Somewhere I wrote I wanted to make a total of 100 lbs lost by the end of this round.  I didn't make it.  I had two weeks of traveling and I found it very hard to stick to my diet while being a guess at other people's places.  People tried to accommodate my eating habits but I think most people have no idea how many vegetables it takes to fill up an ex-fatty who is use to eating in high volume.  When I got back home I was +5 lbs.  It took till yesterday to get back down to -96 lbs (176 lbs.).  I think I'll restate my goal for the next round, touch (and maybe get lighter than 172 lbs, or 100 lbs lost).

Who is in for 2013 Round 2 starting next week?

My trip to the US really threw my metabolism out of whack. I've got a persistent extra 2 kilos that have stuck with me.

I'm up for another round.

If anyone uses it, I've made a Th3 Core group on Fitocracy. I find it's a great tool to track my workouts.

4/3 - over achieving and loving it.

>most people have no idea how many vegetables it takes to fill up an ex-fatty who is use to eating in high volume

I hear ya LM. It takes quite a bit to get full from veggies - so I'm eating a ton of tuna, fish, high protein dairy (skyr), lean chicken and beef. Almost no starchy carbs - eg. no patoes, rice, pasta, bread etc.
