NF Fitness Thread #1 [Do You Even Lift? Edition]

Definitely get at that. What about vegetables? What do you like

Carrots... I prefer fruit over veggies...

You better eat your vegetables jec.

I eat a bowl of lettuce, cabbage, carrots, kale and spinach with most of my meals

I don't wanna. They don't taste fun.

Veggies? Broccoli, lettuces (romaine, iceburg, red etc), string beans, spinach, corn, peas, carrots, cauliflower, collards, mushrooms, radish/horseradish and potatoes.

I love fruits. Specially citrus and berries. Love Raspberries, blackberries, oranges, grapefruits and other fruits in the citrus and berry families.

I love apricots, sogud. You following a plan D? I think I might try following something basic since im seeing some slight results on my abs which is encouraging.

Eri you been playing soccer?

not really. played some beach volley ball today. shit is fun.

Hm do you rotate between exercises? In one routine I do: pushups, tricep dips, bicep curls w/ 20 pound dumbells, crunches, flutter kicks and wall sits. But when I complete one set of an exercise I rotate to the next, usuallynalternating between muscle groups. Is completing multiple sets of one exercise consecutively more effective?

hmm not sure. i move from exercise to exercise after i finished their sets(3 most of the time)

Ah so you dont rotate, you finish one exercise all at once before moving on? Hmm its definitely more tiring, specially with 15 sec rest periods thats for sure

What are your thoughts on underarmor clothing? Does it redirect sweat effectively?

Feel so good excising. Went from 78 kg to 75 in the last few months. Walking 3 km every day so I got nice legs now

They aren't bad. I like the fit of them while I'm sweating. It's definitely lightweight and makes me feel like I'm not being encumbered when I'm pushing myself which is great. They soak up my sweat pretty good.

@JEC

3km's is great. I do 5-6.5km every day except sundays. I jog about 1.5~km a day to boot.

only girls walk

You see this is why youre rock lee...always running everywhere with your leg weights on...

As far as food goes I wonder if any of you guys recommend specific foods? Im looking to make raspberries a regular staple in food as a quick energy recharge and for snack cravings. As it stands now I eat a bowl of oatmeal before every workout and add banana to it. Keeps me stable during exercises and digests slowly. Oh and I eat some peanuts post workout for recovery and protein. So any superfoods yall recommend?

I love kale the way my mom makes it in our native meal. Fruit i eat grapes more then anything. I love apples. Too much fruit thou not good cuz of sugar.

I gotta start getting in the right mind setin losing weight and gain mucle.

Just about any berry (Black, Rasp, Straw) is going to be great for you. Broccoli/Cauliflower, anything that's cruciferous is great for you in general.

Good, good ill get at that. Do any of you know of any chest exercises? Getting tired of mere pushups.

i bench press my couch sometimes

Pain on right shoulder comes and goes. Maybe some hot water will do me good. I really should be doing aerobic instead of anaerobic exercises....
