What about supplements, do you guys take/use any. Im not talking about fat burners, but protein,or any muscle gainers?

 

Eating right and taking a good protein is the best thing you can do. Stay away from fat burners.

 

99% of people don't eat well enough to even think about supplements, and most are snake oil anyway.

Personally I use a multivitamin and protein

 

No, I don't use any supplements. I know that there is supplements that do work (and work GREAT) but I'm more of a "I want to see how healthy and fit I can become without any artificial(right word?) help".

To each their own I guess

 

Just getting over the base work. Here's the week.

friday 1.5 hr run
sat 3 hr bike
sun 1 hr run
monday 3 hr bike
wed 1 hr run, 2 hr bike
thurs 3 hr bike
friday 1hr run
sat 2.15 high tempo bike
sun 2 hr. run

Each bike is finished with a 15 min t run

Sucks being 50. Every session gets harder. Once I get back from Spain in mid May, the volume goes way up.

 

Damn Jamie, training for a marathon?

 

IMUSA. Ironman No. 12 in the last 10 years.

I'm the worst ironman triathlete on the planet, but I train like crazy.

 

Nice! I want to do one of those, but I think I will just stick to endurance type stuff. I want to do some of the multi-day Spartan races.

 

Btw, I forgot to post above but since watching Herschel walker in mma and hearing the quoted 700 pushups a day while I've been traveling I decided to do 200 a day of pushups and crunches. So far so good. Now that I'm home I'm doing it on top of my normal routine. I go off on tangents sometimes.

Jamie, ironman is tough! Worst in the world or not it puts you head and shoulder above what many accomplish.

 

I was motivated after I tried on the same sized jeans I wore in high school and they were a perfect fit at the mall this morning.

A healthy, balanced diet with lots of fruits, veggies, and lean protein. Although I do take a daily 1000% vitamin C supplement from about November - March when it drops under 60F.


Edit: must spread rep jamie - kickass training
