I eat close to 35 hundred calories normally and i am still running a deficit. I did 12 miles biking single track this morning and used 1472 according to my monitor. I am going to the gym at 6 and will run 33 mins or 3 miles to warm up and that will be another 340. Then I work out for 90 mins on weights and machines  and that is usually another 400. I know my output on average is about 2500 and I work out one on one off but abs every day. I also bike almost daily as well. I bike  twice my daily ride on week ends. I eat all the time to keep up and that is only if I take in 1600 cal or so in 2 of energy  shakes. 

Iman doan wanna boast but.

nah neva mind.

if you are working out every day and pressing over 300 you are around 160 lbs at 6 feet and has to eat at least 5k calories daily. That is a couple of chickens daily!

I am 5'7 and 156  and has to eat all the time. I used to be almost 180 a couple of years ago and once I started working out it fell off like hot butter. I am muscular but not bulky. I am strong cardio wise....ride up 3000 feet easily on single tracking but I only work out with light weights. I bench press 140 and that is a lot for me.

I eat all the time.

sorry...never voted for them...just like to listen to the other side sometimes
I find them funny

That is tall for a buckman.

I am white...dont you know?

Jokes aside....the height has to do with the availability of proteins early in life.

I have cousins who are almost full blooded arawak who grew up in england and the US and are massive.

My son is 5 11 and my daughters are taller than me.

You are about an inch taller than me.

And about 20 pounds heavier than me.

Im impressed . Can't say that I know many people even half as active / fit as you are .

***ahem***

"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable" - Socrates 400BC

Not about boasting , but  rather the challenge , hard work and exhilaration of pushing one's self to new limits . I started at a meager 135 lbs on the bench press with a bodyweight of 180 lbs. Today , Im at 315 lbs on the bench press 10 reps .Its about being a positive force Cain.

Let me share with you the inspirational story of Sri Chinmoy :

Sri Chinmoy began weightlifting in 1985, at the age of 54. Bill Pearl, former Mr. Universe, acted as Master of Ceremonies at many of Sri Chinmoy's strength exhibitions. Introducing one of Sri Chinmoy's weightlifting exhibitions in 1999, Bill Pearl wrote: "Today you are going to see some amazing feats of strength that I myself - and I have been in the industry for fifty-five years - would not even attempt to perform."^[73] Sri Chinmoy, said his motivation for lifting was to inspire others, especially those of an older generation.

“If I can inspire anybody in this world, then I feel that my life is meaningful. With my weightlifting, I am offering my physical strength to inspire people

I did not do anything for almost 2 years. You need friends. I have group who ride all the time. Usually there are between 4 to 6 all the time. The trails are outside my house and they are great. My gym is a block away and it is also a meetup point since we hang out there for lunch and in the evening. It is a sort of yuppy mall with Starbucks, 4 restaurants, wholefoods, and lots of little stores plus the gym ( actually there are 5 upscale gyms within 3 blocks of me)

 It is lifestyle. I live in a self contained, gated community  of 219 condos and around 1500 people so there are activities of all sorts in and around me.

 We are also close to an Olympic training pool ( we had an Olympian) lots of tennis  courts and tracks to run, baseball fields, soccer fields within walking distance plus great bike paths off road on road and single tracking ( aggressive mountain biking). 

If you are around people that do stuff  you tend to do the same things. I was also never much of  a couch rat. 

Apparently some other variety, then.

I happen to like rats for t heir resiliency and tenacity at getting by on their own keen sense. They are survives. They have no fear and be they from the gutter to the field or the sewer they do so by their wits. They most certainly do not have to make shit up.

Which is reserved exclusively for Stormborn.

One time I was in England.  There was a man who lived in the house next to where I was staying.  The man had about 4 huge white pet rats in cages.  Those were his pets. That is some nasty stuff.  Nothing to like about these pests. 

Rev is a PPP/C untouchable on this forum. See how Amral exercised his moral authority and closed the other thread in contrast but kept the one started by Rev opened.

living in that industrial wasteland  and age has surely messed with your brains that you sit by your computer simply hoping for something to do. Get your pitiful behind back to Guyana or move to Vancouver.

Stormy,

These people, who you detest passionately or at least pretend to detest just to score political points should not be banned. They should be left for the public to see and judge for themselves. You should lock horns with them to show us how they are dangerous to society. You need to stand and fight like a man. The purpose of the forum is allow everyone to voice their opinions on issues. We, the audience, are interested in their political beliefs.

You may not like them but they have dominion over the planet. They human virus is its only competitor. Look at it from their perspective; we are an infestation, a virtual nectrotizing germ that has laid waste more of this planet than any other living creature. To the rest of the animal world we are absolutely the most horrible pestilence that can ever be hoped for.

Because were are at the top of the food chain, we think we are better. From the planet's perspective we are a disease and very few of us if any of us have shown any sense of deep respect and understanding for our world.

We even have contempt for the animists of our specie who see this planet as part of themselves and label even the stones brother and sister and call the streams mother. No to the rest of us civilized of the human species they are the backward ones. Wake up. We are the pestilence not the rat.
