What does your fitness routine look like?
I eat decent-won't say I'm a "clean" eater by any stretch, I eat pizza, hamburgers, pancakes etc. but that's not every day. Chicken is a regular meat protein and even beans and rice meals. Sugar is definitely too prevalent in my diet though, especially during this time of year! I cook most of... -

Just remember, muscle weighs more than fat! :) So if you gained some muscle then you had to have lost some fat! Don't let the scale tell the whole story. lol The mirror and how your clothes fit are a better 1st indicator, then the scale. ;) -

Very sorry to hear than man. :( I'm a bit disappointed in my "goal" results but I did get some improvements in other areas that had unexpectedly gone down. The weight thing is pretty much why I quit dieting. More than once I tried eating less, watching calories, keeping track of EVERY thing I... -

Am I correct that this is the final week of the "fitness challenge"? Anyone have results to post? Been quiet here for the most part but I'm just hoping that means guys have been busy getting numbers up or down-depending on the preference-and are just going to post final results! :) -

Felt pretty much disgusted with how the squat "goal" was going today and almost skipped working out all together because I was just not feeling it. Decided instead to change the goal-at least for today-and press on! A different workout is better than none! So did 3 sets of 5 with 365 followed by... -

I've all but given up on "dieting". I eat what I want for the most part but just try to eat less of it as I've gotten older. lol It's undoubtedly what has kept me from really Losing weight like I'd prefer, but I also haven't gained much in the last 15 years that I couldn't drop of with just some... -

Well I seem to have hit a wall on my squat venture. Lost a rep this week, only 13 at 315lbs. Doesn't look too promising to hit the 20 rep mark by week 7. :( Not unusual to miss the goal rep here and there on the way up, but seems like the last 3 weeks haven't improved a heck of a lot overall in... -

LOL I've known a couple folks that after they retired, wondered how they ever had time for a job! :laugh: -

315 squat for 14 reps today. Happy that it's better than last week but was hoping for 15. Not sure if I just wasn't fully physically prepared today or I'm actually hitting my max capability at the moment but today Sucked! lol Was ready to stop on the 10th one, had to take several breaths and... -

Thanks. Been down this road a few times. lol Shooting for 20 reps and it always sucks! Best I ever worked up to was 405 for 17 reps, just couldn't quite get to 20. :( Coming from powerlifting training and most everything geared towards strength I'm trying to get back to a mix of power and... -

315 Squat for 13 reps today. Starting to get into the more taxing reps-can feel the nervous system "buzz" toward the end. :laugh: Then the usual front squats, deadlifts and assisted pullups. This thread is definitely helping keep me on track-forces me to report improvement each week on these... -

Hit 315 for 11 reps on squat today. Gotta step it up a little if I want to hit 20 reps before the end of the 7 weeks! Did front squats, dynamic deadlifts and assisted pullups then some fast calf raises for a quick pump. :) -

3 supersets of shoulder press/side laterals followed by some relatively light shrugs, straight bar curls, hammer curls and finished with some abs. Forgot to weigh again before eating so didn't bother. Need to get the scale out of the closet and put it somewhere I'll see it to remember, not used... -

Back squats (9 reps 1st set-shoot for 10 next week), front squats, deadlifts and assisted pullups yesterday. Feelin' a little sore. :p -

I'm in the middle of trying to figure out which way I want to take my workouts and fitness "goals". Been working out pretty hard for decades. Did bodybuilding years ago and did powerlifting up until a few years ago. Was considering gearing up to do some powerlifting again in the Masters raw... -

A big thing people have to be mindful of is setting unrealistic goals. Most people can't be eating pizza and chugging beer one day and switch to oatmeal and water the next. A "diet" should simply be something you can realistically maintain at least at first. If you acclimate to that and you want... -
ODT 7 week fitness challenge
This sounds like a good idea. Gotta have a goal to actually achieve a goal! Having other folks in on it with you, even if only online, will hopefully help some people. I've been working out and trying to stay in at least above average shape for 30+ years now but I have to admit that the last 2... -
