Your Vegas Diet and Work Out Plan aka "GTL" Thread

[Guest]

its true, I always hear girls saying they dont want to "get big" it makes me laugh because its not easy to get big and if it were we would all look a lot fitter with a lot less work.

Weight training is essential to burning fat and getting tone!

Yup... a lot of sissy chicks. As long as you arent in it to roid up and body build with the dudes, we dont mind a firm looking women.

I would move to Sydney except its winter over there right now lol

yeah it is, but its been about 70f here the last week. not bad for the middle of winter! There are probably english backpackers in the water at bondi beach today

Thats not bad at all! Sounds like our winters at times... Its 85 F here in Southern Cali and its the middle of summer. But its 106 in Vegas right now.. pretty much unbearable unless you are in a pool during the day time.

[sydneygirl]

i'd deal with 106 right now, get me a pool & a mojito & i'd be a happy kid.

Nice choice! I haven't been to a pool party with a good mojito yet.. I stick to the stuff thats easier for them to make like vodka redbull or cranberry. Its a mad rush ordering from one of those bars.

Tell me about it!! To be honest I think all the time we spent at the pools during the day ruined us for the evening.

I spent 10am-5pm at the pools and was able to head right back out after a shower. The key is making the women get ready at a guys pace :P

There's nothing wrong with english backpackers on Bondi! I've spent many a July afternoon there in my speedos getting dodgy looks

As for the gym, we could easily start a pet peeves whilst gymming thead. Mine would be the guys who take up EVERY single treadmill and have it on walking speed. Just go outside for a WALK!

Rant over

haha so thats what "English Backpackers on Bondi" means?
Interesting.. I highly wouldn't recommend wearing a speedo in any of the Vegas pool parties. Stylish shorter trunks maybe, but not speedos.

[Staggered_UK]

haha, I wouldn't really ever try rocking a pair of those!

If anything else, my tanlines would be terrible..

Dang... too much bad visualization over here! You don't want to be that one guy. But usually people from out of country get a free pass from time to time.

I'm doing the cal deficit right now as well. No pain, no gain right? Optimum Nutrition is what I use as well. If you want a very nutritious smoothie try this:

1 cup Very Vanilla Lite Soy Milk
1 cup mixed frozen berries
1 scoop ON vanilla ice cream flavor protein

blend it and you are ready to go.

I have been working out first thing in the morning doing group cycle classes to start the day. Then after the day has finished, I'm going back to the gym and doing my weights then. 2-a-days are rough but my diet is very clean and I am taking in all of my required nutrients so I have been cutting up nicely.

One of the things I have been doing is watching my form religiously and breathing. Squeezing and contracting at the peak of the lift, static sets, 21's etc all work well. Switch up the workouts weekly to "trick" the muscles and stimulate more muscle growth.

Nice! The 2-a-day is something we can all wish we did. Cardio in the morning is the best time to get cut and get you ready for the rest of the day. Unfortunately my work and gym situation doesn't allow me to do that. I do all my working out after work.

I actually drink straight up whole milk. I don't need to cut anymore. I am just straight building. So any bit of extra healthy digestable calories help. Don't get me wrong, I don't go out and binge on twinkies, but I don't need to cut corners with diet products. I buy the real stuff for everything, butter, mayo.. but I do use olive oil for my cooking. Just stay as organic as possible, and less processed as possible. I haven't gained any fat at all, and the calories are very easy to burn.

I'm 42 and have the appropriate belly. Otherwise I am tall, dark and handsome. Should I try and lose weight before getting there or just, to hell with it!?
