FriedShrimp you want a project???

JUMPING JACKS??????????????

Let's go

Realize it's game day.

But ONE MINUTE...............

If you are lifting, probably want some protein at night.  If not lifting and doing mostly cardio, probably not, just calories.

But for sure no carbs late night.

That sounds good............... could see another metabolism spike somewhere in that evening tho.  Nothing huge, just a 5-10 minute spike of some type.

Don't forget about Rotisserie chickens.

And like others mentioned, lifting is probably not the goal.  First goal is to drop weight.

In terms of cardio............. whatever burns the most calories....... rowing machine and eleptical are decent but it's all the same if you ask me.  But if you spike the metabolism....... that will take care of some serious calories a day.  Increase metabolism by 500 calories a day and you will start shedding without slaving over the cardio so much. 

Can't beat running tho.  By far the best cardio if knees can handle it.

If feel the need to lift........ hit the legs.  Larger muscles.

Jumping Jacks take like one minute and gets shit in motion first thing  ...... If 50 wasn't a problem, go for a 100 which is about a minute and a half.  Throw in a few squat thrusts.

Snacks........... any protein is fine.  Instead of cooking 2 chicken breasts, I would cook 8 and you are set for a couple days.  Gonna be eating chicken a lot. 

cottage cheese
dairy products, eggs, milk,
protein shake
leftover steak, pork chops, anything along those lines
Bacon, etc.

Workout notes.......

1)  You are working isolated and small muscles there.  I'd do more compound exercises and hit the larger muscles.  Especially if time limited.

Hanging leg Raises

For example, Pullups will hit shoulders, back, core, and arms.

Rows...... hit back, legs, and arms.

Clean & Jerk...... hits everything

And I cannot an exercise routine that does not involve legs.

And no........... when you get to a 100 jumping jacks........ not gonna ask for more.  100 is plenty........ but I'm gonna add more to it......... like squat thrusts...... which are pain but, also good.  And maybe a few more things later...... but not gonna make you do more than 100 Jumping Jacks so at least get that down.

And skip the forearms.......... just waisting time................ we need to drop weight before we fine tune.

NEED LEGS at gym........................ Lunges, sleds, or squats, but something.  Can be low weight.  Fried is totally cool with low weight throughout this training but gotta at least bring legs into play.

You'll get forearms when we get to pullups.............. But guessing that forearms are not what we are really talking about here anyway. 

You got a gut............ let's get rid of it.

Keep posting your workouts........................

Here is what I need tomorrow.................

1)  More jumping jacks than you think you can do........... by 20

2)  Need you to RUN somewhere........ Even if it's for 50 yards.  Can you run in the driveway/parking lot or something?............. If not, I'll take a treadmill but it's not the same thing.  If it has to be on a treadmill.............. then full speed at least on the treadmill for at least 45 seconds............. We gonna end up in minutes so go ahead and get used to running.

Our mutual goal is lean, tight, and strong.

Fried is no cardio freak........... last thing I want you to be is some type of "skinny fat" or something. 

Hard but lean.
