Matt beats his ass for two and a half weeks - Page 2

You need to unplug from the video games.

Matt, this is how you can get into good enough of a shape to party in Japan:

- Get in 1/2 hour or so of running every morning before work. Go easy at first and step it up gradually on speed/distance.
- Still do whatever you're doing (boxing, weight etc.) in the pm.
- Repeat.

Thank me later.

This thread is awesome. M@t, I think I'll join you for 2 1/2 weeks. No alcohol. No junk food.

He will also be working out. Like, actually working out. Not just stealing your mom's thighmaster for 15 minute sessions every other day.

The question is, are you still lighter than the ballerina?

Im 61 kilos...do I win something?

I'm in the same boat as you, m@t. After last night's drinking, and a huge ass bowl of pho this afternoon, even my "fat pants" are starting to feel tight. I can't quit rice, beer, and whiskey for the next few weeks, but I'll definitely try to cut back and work out more. My goal is to reduce my waist size by 2" by end of next month, to a more manageable 31".

M@t, I'd join you in your efforts, but I'm just coming off a half-marathon, and even my skinny jeans fit loose.

Show off.

You could try this if you actually want results: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/the...-loss-handbook. Basically, you would eat nothing but a 500-800 cals a day, depending on your current weight and current BF%. All the cals would be from protein. You can eat as many veggies as you want, as long as they are not starchy ones and not eaten with dips/sauces with carbs/fat. You supplement with fish oil and take a good multivitamin to make sure you don't go deficient in anything. You do moderate exercise because you're too short on cals to do anything too intense. Everyone I know that's ever claimed they were gonna do the "diet" you just proposed has failed. Based on your OP, all it sounds like you're going to do is cut back from a major surplus of cals to maintenance cals at best. I don't think you'll burn enough cals from working out and unless you seriously modify your diet (much more than you've stated you will), you're not going to see much for results imo.

^ No. There're more than one way to skin a cat.


And that I personally would not take fitness advice from the Geek

Given what I know of M@T, call me a doubter. I don't know what kind of workout he intends to do every day (I say he doesn't do it) but unless you create a calorie deficit you don't lose weight. You're right that there are different ways to go about creating the deficit, but if he wants noticeable results by the time he leaves, he's gonna have to get drastic. Of course, unless he changes his habits, he'll put the weight right back on not long after he stops.

You wouldn't say that to my face.

You really don't know much about M@t, huh?


I would. Then i'd curbstomp your ass if you got uppity!!
