Am I just being a **** that I can't do cardio 2x a day???

**skelooth** · 04-17-2006, 10:17 PM

Early this morning I was sooooooooooooooo freakin tired, and the stationary bike sounded soooo dreadfully boring and annoying with my birds screaming in the background (not enough time to get to the gym).

Now it's 6:30, i am finally home from school and I am literally DRAGGING my ass to the gym after this cup of coffee... I feel... soooo burnt out. Do you think I will be more capable once the semester is out or something?? Or am I just being a baby??? I feel like my eyes are dragging on the floor...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to be dorming next semester.... this is like... the last chance to make a first impression with hot college girls.

The OCD is about to hit new heights this summer, I promise lol.

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-17-2006, 10:26 PM

A few days bro, it won't hurt much of anything. At least drop lifting, and do some low intensity cardio. But thats just my opnion... Wait a real college girl or inflatable?

**skelooth** · 04-17-2006, 10:34 PM

dorming in UAlbany, gotta look my best for all the wrong reasons

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-17-2006, 10:38 PM

ripped i'm in NY

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-17-2006, 10:43 PM

No way, I never knew that. What part?

**skelooth** · 04-17-2006, 10:44 PM

Columbia-County... Catskill mountain Region if you're into ski resorts. About hour and a half south of UAlbany, an hour north of poughkeepsie

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-17-2006, 10:46 PM

Weirdo, never heard of any of those places except catskills. I'm like 40 minutes away from Syracuse... Ithaca way..

**skelooth** · 04-18-2006, 12:00 AM

Yeah you are like 2-3 hours west of albany. You are a very long shot away from.

On another note, i am not being a "complete" baby about cardio. I just got done with 45 minutes... I can't seem to pull it together to do it 2x a day though. It sucks. They always say "It just depends how bad you want it" but I'm sooo worn out sometimes.

How do you guys get the will to do it 2x a day??? and when you are doing it 2x a day, what type of cardio do you do?

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-18-2006, 12:08 AM

I vary the intensities. Sometimes light in the morning sometimes hard intensity in the morning etc. you know what I'm saying?

**Grunt76** · 04-18-2006, 12:10 AM

Dude, twice a day IMO is only something you CAN do if you have some equipment at home that you can do early in the morning or late at night, and also do some cardio post-weights.

Otherwise, heck, where's your LIFE man?

**skelooth** · 04-18-2006, 12:51 AM

Life? What's that?? You mean that thing I fill to the bring with the gym and school? LOL

I have very little bit of life.... this goes into some bigger deeper issues that would need to be it's own thread/website/novel lol.

**EME** · 04-18-2006, 01:08 AM

LOL..

During contest prep, I drag my happy ass out of bed and leave my house for the gym bright and early at 4:50 AM.

I do 30 mins on the Stairmaster, then head home, eat, shower and go to work all day.

After work ( 5:00 PM ) I come home, eat my pre-workout meal, head to the gym, do my weight training, and then hit 45 mins more on the treadmill.

I do the same thing all five workdays of the week, and also on Saturday ( but not quite as early ) for 12 weeks straight.

Both of the competitors who I've been training ( Andrea and David ) who I posted recent pictures of, also do the same thing. They both have to drive to the gym too.

Skel.....Andrea is a girl.. and she can do it.

What do all of us have in common.... ( other than possibly being out of our minds ) we want to be ripped more than we want to sleep.

You can do it bro... you just have to get up the will to do it.

Is there anything wrong with doing walking in your neighborhood in the morning instead of the gym, then later go work out and do cardio again?

**skelooth** · 04-18-2006, 01:26 AM

EME, would it be effective at my current level of BF%? Or will I only being setting myself up for another plataue?? I was curious to ask in the prep section, at what BF% are guys usually when they begin cutting for a show, and if they are endomorphic (are there any??) how long do they give it?

fitnfirm, I was actually thinking about that. I'm thinking maybe a 2 mile fasted walk every morning would count?

The only way I'd be happy at 4:50 am is if I am hooked up to a coffee IV :headshake
