[DisturbdChemist]

Well in that case, tips, tricks or links?

I'm 5'11 or so, and sitting at about 260 now. Before I switched jobs ~5 years ago and went from actually working to sitting in a car driving around all day I was a fairly beefy and intimidating 200-210 lbs. And the weight's just been going up since (except for when I keep up with the gym), and it shot up a lot when I quit smoking ~5 months ago. If I actually get motivated to work out I can bring it down pretty quickly. 200 lbs again and I"ll be perfectly satisfied. My problem's never really been diet, but I just need more exercise.

Drinking a Serrano Smoked Porter (my other favorite of the bunch) with dinner.

Ya. I don't know if beefy is the word I'd use. But I'm pretty solid. Mostly muscle. Except for this gut. And congrats on quitting. I quit about a year ago and gained some weight from that too probably.

Good plan! I can either drink a lot of beer or eat what I want. Can not do both without packing on the pounds. Guess which one I chose most of the time?

Haha. I was joking. I do an hour of cardio at the gym no less then 5 days a week. Burn about 1000 calories each time. I'm gradually slimming down with out sacrificing anything!

I'll get to the hour mark. Right now I can manage about 30 minutes of jogging at a 6 mph pace. Once a week I slow down to 4.5 and go for as long as I can. It's about an hour.

3726 saison. Here's to never dieting or detox whatever its called.

Cleanses are overrated.

Just start eating clean NOW and lift weights. Drink beer in moderation and you'll be fine.

My wife just informed me she's doing some sort of detox thing in the month of August. She told me what it entails diet-wise. It was horrifying!

Isn't the mountain supposed to be blue when it's cold?

Carb sample of my hoppy saison. The hops are much more pronounced and the yeast is more subtle now than when I bottled Sunday morning (don't judge me). At 6.8% it drinks really easy and now I'm real anxious for my more traditonally hopped rye saison to finish.

I covered this in another thread. He neglected to respond. I think there's some water abuse happening here.

Walking uphill for one hour at 3.5 mph will burn more fat. Jogging at slow paces for long periods of time = biggest-muscle burner of them all.

Drinking water. I've only had one beer today. Maxed out at 265 lbs. today on the bench press (6' 174 lbs.). 325 lbs. parallel squat coming tomorrow. Beer can't stop me.

However, this weekend I will be smashing beers left and right. What else is new?

Thanks to remmy I'm getting my robo zen on.

I dig it!!!

I'm 6' and I was previously 174.......2 years ago. Now I'm up to 214. I never passed 200 in my life until this year. I'd hate to know what I'd be if I didn't have a very physically demanding job. And I'm not the gym type. So the first thing I'll do is what I did when I was 174, better eating habits and limiting drinking to the weekends. So my beer posts in this thread might go down a bit for a while.

Wicked Weed Rootin Saison. Parsnips and jicama in the mash. Some earthy funk with an, I don't know, earthy flavor. These guys roll pn the "out there" side. Tried a beet beer today that looked all the world like a strawberry soda, but smelled and tasted like a nice hoppy pale.

Do what you gotta do. I've hammered beer since October. Before that, drank maybe once a week. No noticeable changes in my appearance. My body fat has been around 10% for over a year now. I eat what I want but try to keep it relatively clean during the week. I just workout even harder because I've been consuming a lot of beer lately. Being fat scares me and I'd hate to have a sloppy-looking body. That's what keeps me motivated enough to not go overboard.

Drinking a glass of milk before bed. Already thinking of a Gandhi Bot. Ha ha ha.

Decided to splurge on a Stone Imperial Russian Stout. I like most of the flavors. The only thing I do not like so much is the forward alcohol taste. Tastes a bit like it has a shot of shine in it, I like my whiskey neat or on the rocks. Probably will not buy it again.

Felt the same way about the w00t stout. I had a couple beers prior to it and it still had a very strong alcohol presence. Kind of glad I bought only the one as I would think I'd have to sit on that second one for a year or two. Still contemplating buying one and doing just that but at 10.50 for the bomber I'm still up in the air.

That's ok it will still take quite a while before any one catches up to you in posts in this thread. You are the C.Y young of this thread with over 500 more posts than the next guy! Haha just a lil homage before you lighten up or go on your hiatus. Good luck with trimming down.

+1 to this. They say getting your heart rate to 70-75% of its maximum acceptable BPM (mostly depends on age. Goes down 2 BPM for every year or so after 21 I believe. You can find more exact info online) and maintaining it there will allow your body to primarily burn excess fat before it will burn that expensive difficult to maintain muscle.

Personally if your looking to burn fat and be in good shape both physically and aesthetically , go with workouts more similar to remmy' style. Maybe not one rep maxing too often but sticking with big multi body part movements. (Dead lift squat clean,press, snatch, bench, military press) these moves take a lot of practice but you get so much more bang for your buck. I try to do a solid amount of switching it up. A lot of crossfit workouts are great for compressing a killer workout into a short period of time. Some cardio which involves training muscle like rowing or High intensity interval training is another good way to keep time cost down and results up. I know a couple of you mentioned not being big gym rats so these ideas might be a somewhat middle of the road approach. A decent learning curve early on but once you get the fundamentals down the payoff is definitely worth it.

Oh yea and some 3 beans for me over here.
