Diet alone will not likely lead to significant weight loss

In monkeys.

Quote:

To conduct the research, Cameron and OHSU post-doctoral fellow Elinor Sullivan, Ph.D., studied 18 female rhesus macaque monkeys at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. The monkeys were placed on a high-fat diet for several years. They were then returned to a lower-fat diet (standard monkey food) with a 30 percent reduction in calories. For a one-month period, the monkeys' weight and activity levels were closely tracked. Activity was tracked through the use of an activity monitor worn on a collar.

"Surprisingly, there was no significant weight loss at the end of the month," explained Sullivan. "However, there was a significant change in the activity levels for these monkeys. Naturally occurring levels of physical activity for the animals began to diminish soon after the reduced-calorie diet began. When caloric intake was further reduced in a second month, physical activity in the monkeys diminished even further."

A comparison group of three monkeys was fed a normal monkey diet and was trained to exercise for one hour daily on a treadmill. This comparison group did lose weight.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Hamstrings are sore.
4 x 50-rep supersets: Leg Press 25 reps + Calf Raises (on Leg Press) 25 reps.
Then, 3 sets, 10 reps of heavy squats (on the power rack I just got for free).
Throughout all of this I am doing deep hamstring stretches between each set.
Finally, to target the hamstrings: Stiff-legged Deadlifts, 4 sets, 10 reps.

Flint · 04-30-2010, 01:09 PM

Machine press, flat dumbell press, flat bench press, seated military press, machine fly, lateral raises, pressdowns w/ rope.

Gauging my shoulder's reaction, I think I will put dumbell chest presses back on an incline, resume doing dumbell presses instead of barbell for shoulders (lighter weight, more reps), cease any heavy fly movements, cease any lateral movements and instead do upright rows on back day (more traps involved).

Yes, this is my personal workout log.

Flint · 05-03-2010, 01:50 PM

Pulldowns aggravate my wrist AND my shoulder, so they're out.

Low-pulley rows (with an angled grip to avoid wrist pain) supersetted with machine rows (hammer grip) to warm up and pump lats.

Next, the good stuff: Deadlifts supersetted with Bent-Over Barbell Rows (same weight, no rest, 10 reps each). Up until the heavy sets where I took good long rests.

Really cool biceps movement (super biceps stretch at the bottom): Incline bench curls from reverse-curl position to standard grip at the top (the biceps also ROTATES the arm).

Then some shrugs. Then I went jogging.

I've been busy. I'm not a big email guy if it isn't work-related.

I need an olympic bar...

monster · 05-06-2010, 11:46 PM

I don't see evidence of equipment use.....

jinx · 05-06-2010, 11:48 PM

cardio?

Flint · 05-06-2010, 11:50 PM

Cardio? I jog. My neighbor is trying to give me a treadmill, but I don't want it. I am considering getting an exercise bike for between sets, though. It would have to be free. And I would have to find a place to put it and still be able to park a car in there.

Funny story: there was a neighborhood garage sale and a guy was selling a bowflex for $250. Afew houses down, that squat rack was free. The rest of the stuff I've acquired over the last few years. That power station was free. The corner gym was free. The bench was under $50. In the "fitness industry" somebody is always trying to sell you some expensive bullshit, but no amount of money is a substitute for getting your ass out there and training hard even when you don't feel like it.

Clodfobble · 05-07-2010, 12:19 AM

Yeah, we got our treadmill for $100 off craigslist. Silly thing was a year old, minimally used, and cost the original owner $950. Freaking ridiculous.

monster · 05-07-2010, 12:05 PM

This week I have been awesome. And the last few weeks before that too......

Monday: half an hour core and leg strengthening with the PT, then 2 hours at the gym -half hour eliptical, half hour rowing machine (600 cals), rest in the weights room

Tuesday: 45 minute walk in the morning, and hour figure skating after lunch

Wednesday 1.25 hours figure skating

Thursday: 45 minute walk (also biked to friend's house half mile away), mowed lawn at vigorous pace, half hour strengthening with PT

Friday: 2 hours at the gyme -half hour rowing, half hour eliptical (600 cals again, rest of time in the weights room
