Effort to not be a Slobinson (exercise routine report)

How does that feel?!

After seeing so many of the pigman's fake gymrat tweets I decided that I never want to end up like him. Just looking at Patrick S. Tomlinson's fat face is a wake up call for anyone who might be the least bit out of shape to start adding a few routines into their schedule. I posted before about my wake up call and how it came thanksgiving morning when I realize the jeans I was having a hard time buckling were a size 36 instead of my usual 34. I started a few weeks ago and figured this place was as good as any when it comes to asking advice and for suggestions on things I could do to help the process as I am not overly familiar with exercise/training programs.

So far I built my program around Bob Backlund's Gym in a Box . Which is stair walking and a ab wheel (for someone who never had much core strength, that ab wheel is taking some time). To that I added a bit of jump rope and some simple dumbbell exercises with weights between 10lbs up to 35 lbs.

Starting weight was 205lbs, current weight is 203lbs and the weight I am going for is 175lbs.

Thank you all for the suggestions and advice. I am still wondering if there is anymore basic equipment I should look into? I still want to get a 10ft jump rope and I also thinking about more plates to go with the adjustable dumpbell set as I only have four 5lb plates and four 2&1/2lb plates. As for eating/drinking I replaced all soda's and other junk liquids with flavored water while working up to drinking water only. Also trying to figure what foods and snacks are best and how to set up a good diet.

I made sure to use a magnet on my non stainless steel fridge to hang the following hashtag up on it - #SNTBT which is "Say no to being a Tomlinson!". the only motivation a person would need.

sorry if this post is disjointed as I been doing piecemeal edits over the last 5 minutes or so while stuck on the phone with my insurance company.

The only advice I'd give is don't be a retard and assume you can out exercise a bad diet. It won't work. If weight loss is your goal, then it's 90% down to diet. Cut out beer as much as possible and avoid bacon, egg, cheese on a roll etc.

Also don't do weights and then fill up on tacos afterwards because you "need the protein". Only a fat mongoloid would do such a thing.

Whenever I read one of those programs my head hurts

all I do is just run 8-10k a day(1 hr), 100 sit-up and 100 push up(10 mins), add some resistance bands workout if I ain't feeling lazy

All that shit is free and the resistance band cost 5 bucks

Seems like some Jewish trickery to have you buy all that shit, dumbbell kettle bell Doug bell before you even do anything, and ofc Tomlinson fell hard for it and got the most expensive free workout equipment, a personal treadmill. I don't know much about it but it must be a hustle and expensive to maintain down the road

Btw it seems like only fat folks are rocking Apple watches

What happened to the strength men just normally had? My father never worked out a day in his life and once got a microwave from the early 1960s. It was fucking huge and solid metal, weighed around 300 pounds. He lifted that awkward son of a bitch and just hefted it up a flight of stairs. I have to make a separate trip to get my cases of bottled water.

A lot of men probably used to just will themselves to complete tasks like that because being a real man was the only option

Rural/farm folks are still country strong.

Cut and stack a longbed truckload of firewood and split it with a maul. Then stack it or load the truck back up and sell it.

Grab a 4L60E off the tailgate and walk it into the shop.
Swap water-filled tractor tires around or horse a disc harrow into place to hook up the three-point.
Load square hay bales out of the field onto a trailer.

Its not surprising that Tomlinsons that tweet for exercise turn into lardy veal.

Yeah, he was the son of a sharecropper, which I think made him an honorary nigger. Some movie myth site once said you can't lift a person off their feet by the neck with one hand. Bullshit. My father did that to my 5'10" mother with me in her arms. Lifted us straight fucking up and dead-eyed my mother.

It's the awkward real world shit he could lift that got me. I have a distinct memory of him lifting our big, solid oak coffee table and throwing it into the wall, because the legs left four perfect holes in it.

Get a app where you log what you eat so you can keep a eye on what you are putting in go for a run. Do Some push ups. That's all you need. The rest is just nonsense. Lost 80lbs doing this alone.

Once you lose weight you realise it's actually kinda hard to put it back on and takes a monumental amount of laziness
I lost 150 pounds in a year and gained it back the next. Then again, I replaced my living room couches with a bed.

This 100%. No matter what you're trying to do, you need to tailor your diet accordingly. You can't build muscle without protein, you can't absorb protein without carbs and fats.

You can't just cut down to 1500 calories of junk a day and lose a gut. You'll lose muscle mass and keep fat. Macroing is easy af and there is a ton of resources on the web to guide you.

I typically eat 6-8 egg whites a day (2 every few hours, the final 2 right before bed), 2 cheese sticks (like string cheese), peanut butter (the natural shit without added sugar) mixed with granola - which is fucking killer, yogurt, a banana, and wash it all down with a gallon of water. Post lift I'll do 32g of whey protein mixed in whole milk. That regimen gets my macro ratio pretty close. I don't bulk/cut, so I stick with this diet every week, 5 days a week, then relax it on the weekends.

Just eat good (no sugar aids, processed food aids, or much fruits) and workout every day. Also don't eat or drink water after 8pm so you sleep well. Went from 205 to 190 in the past two months and I feel constantly like I'm on xanax.

Lol op won't last a week if he's just starting. Joe Rogan was right about this shit, everybody thinks they are gonna to push the limit on the first day going to the gym, They won't be back the next day cause it's too exhausting. If op start with your Jim Norton diet hes just gonna stuff down two big Mac the next morning. I think he should just cut his meals in half, like just eat half of a big Mac to start with to see how it goes

Bob Backlund vs. Jesse Ventura (myself) matches are the shit. Jesse rips off some turnbuckle twine and chokes Backlund with it in one.

Good luck on your fitness journey. Keep at it and I hope you end up looking like prime Jesse and go to Pat’s gym and lift right beside him, humiliating him in the process.

It's solid advice, imagine telling op he can only eat egg whites for the rest of his life or he's gonna to turn into fat Jim Norton again
You don't have to eat egg whites to have a good diet. It works for me, but there are other good proteins out there. Fuck, you don't even have to macro, but again, it works great for me.

Eating half a big Mac as diet advice, tho? Come on, dude!
