Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[mrMet]

Curious about your full body workout…roughly, how long do you workout each day? I typically spend 1-1.25 hrs each day doing the traditional 5 day split. (Chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms)

Reason I ask, I don’t hv time to spend 3 hours a day in the gym like I’ve heard others I know doing.

HIIT is an uptempo place you could look. Works well for some people and could cut your gym time down

This. We would never vote for a yeti to be the king of the RF.

Petty human jealousy at the superiority of Yetis.

 

[mrMet]

Don't drink calories.

Yep. And adding lemon to water helps too

According to the radio today, the UNLV RB has done the same as the UNLV QB. If true, that suggests to me their NIL is really screwed up.

@Weezer usc DT did it about an hour ago as well

What does a nosy pepper do?


It get jalapeño business

Calories consumed is not necessarily the same as calories absorbed. And calories leave the body in ways other than burning. If you store fat due to insulin dominance, keto is magic. When the hormonal issues get fixed, you start shedding extra calories as unburnt ketones and likely fat in feces, and losing weight far faster than could be accounted for by caloric deficit.

Keto works...period...I eat a lot, and I drop a half pound to 2 pounds every week.

I snack on pork rinds and cheeze during the day, and eat a lot of vegetables at mealtimes with real butter or olive oil during the week, and I eat a lot of meat and veggies, and I mean a lot on weekends.

50 pounds and counting.

I will have a cheat weekend, or when we are traveling for a few days where I eat anything I want, but I only do that once every two months or so. I figure it's good to reset every once in a while.

That works for me.

Whoops

Come on down! Who’s the other one? We’ll take him too.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That is awesome. I have also be on a weight loss journey I have lost 103 lbs since January and never felt better.

I will say that without the help of the Lord I wouldn’t be here today.

No shots no pills just prayer and 20 carbs a day

Now is the time to put on more steam and keep pushing for the finish line. I will end with this scripture that has helped me through this hard journey

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭

Awesome

I don’t think he takes a paycheck unless something changed, which is pretty cool. He’s independently wealthy and seems like he does the job because he wants to make a difference

Im far from an expert…just have been researching a lot online and trying different things to find what works for me.

Like others have said, get away from the highly processed foods (essentially, most anything that are in the aisles at the grocery store). I now, for the most part, shop on the outside walls of the grocery. I stay away from fried foods and avoid vegetable/seed oils. (Research the history of those oils)

Eating high quality protein will satiate you and will help to prevent you from overeating. I will buy a big package of chicken breasts at Sam’s, split the breasts to make them thinner, then grill them on a Sunday. There’s a huge chunk of my protein for the week. (I also drink a 30g protein shake each morning as soon as I wake up. Drink a whey protein shake within 30 mins after my workouts). Drink a BUNCH of water.

It’s a slow process, but I just remind myself that my body didn’t get into bad shape overnight…it’s not going to get into good shape overnight either.

Consistency is the key IMO. I imagine with all the farm work that you do, you’re getting in great exercise. Just have to shore up the food intake and try to go at a calorie deficit each day. (I’ve regularly seen a daily 500 calorie deficit recommended, but as stated earlier, you hv to see what works best for you)

Best of luck on your journey!

EDIT: I also completely quit alcohol back in the spring.

The last one might be a deal breaker!

What kind of protein shakes do you recommend?

 

[KB5252]

Cutting out sodas are great. Start with that. Diet green tea will give you a lift in mood and stamina, but it won’t hold up long term, but will make you feel better. Unfortunately, your body will slow down losing weight at this time of year. Take your calorie intake down slow and listen to your body. Our bodies like to start bulking up this time of year. There’s a reason for that. Our bodies are geared to protect. Notice when we crave lighter meals and when we crave consistent big meals?

I was recently working a full and just time job, and the other stuff that needs done on the farm at morning and night. My part time job kept me really active. When I quit out of necessity, I was just too drained, I started gaining weight pretty quickly.

So if I eat fruits and stuff during the morning, maybe some straight protein at lunch I think I should start to get on track. My job keeps me at a desk all day. I think that was big issue, I was snacking all day instead of just eating a planned mean in morning and lunch.

I know a lot of people say this isn’t good for you long term I don’t know I’m not a doctor. But I know that keto works or at least it does for me. I lost 30 lbs the first month on it and never looked back
I started at 320 I’m now at 217 this morning it’s strict but it works for me.

I count net carbs stay around 20 a day.

Good thing is literally almost nothing is worse for you long term than being overweight/obese

 

[Adam Sandler]

Eric berry was still here in 09 so I’ll take him thanks

 

[Brillovol]

Here's another.

Fyi, Trey is a Johnson Citian. Great ambassador for ETSU.

Rob won about 750,000 awards with Blue Highway. And has done jazz, instrumental, and Gospel albums. Including a Grammy with Jerry Douglas.

Love me some Rob Ickes, Blue Highway, Jerry Douglas, all that.

Still wish Blue Highway was together in original form tho.

I’m one of the worst people to listen to about diet habits. What works for one may not work for others. Should have started with that first in my first post, huh. I’ve worked in the food industry a long time and taught myself a lot. I just know that sometimes our diet habits are also influenced by different things. My post was just basic stuff, I’m sorry if I over stepped my bounds.

Whoops

Add Oklahoma to the list of teams we’ve broken.

@peaygolf I am learning to golf here and looking for a good entry level used putter i can get for under $50. I like the looks of the 2 ball putters, but have no clue. I currently have an old style Dunlop 120. Would appreciate thoughts.

I lost 75lbs about 25 years ago. I rarely do strict keto since then, but have greatly reduced carbs overall. When strict, I can't eat enough to gain, and always lose. The "calories in must be less than calories burnt" mentality is completely contrary to my experience.

I have known others who were not as successful on keto, but I'm sure it comes down to hormones. For those (like me) who are insulin dominant, keto just works. For those who aren't, it isn't nearly as helpful.

According to the radio today, the UNLV RB has done the same as the UNLV QB. If true, that suggests to me their NIL is really screwed up.

That's three guys counting the guy at USC. It is very surprising that 3 is by far the FEWEST players who have done this since the NCAA passed its new redshirting rule in 2018. It has nothing to do with NIL. The media and NCAA are lying or deliberately misleading you.

Remember ole Saban deliberately burning redshirts of players he thought would transfer? Ole "Joel Osteen Jr" at Clemson actually told the media braggingly that he would deliberately burn a kid's redshirt if he thought he was going to transfer, but there was no need because the player was staying. Oh, how funny! the media reported. There wasn't this big negative media push about it. In fact, most of sports media bragged about how great the rule was. A lot of players have asked not to play beyond 4 games since 2018.

But now you have a guy who doesn't want his redshirt burned against his will, and the media immediately frames the issue in a way to stoke maximum outrage before anyone knows the details of what actually happened. And before the day is out, we see that the NCAA is trying use "outrage" about this in order to get its power back and restore its tyranny of criminality.

Meanwhile, UNLV has violated NIL rules by having an assistant coach promise NIL, reportedly, and... crickets. Even worse, UNLV makes the excuse that an assistant coach doling out NIL didn't matter because word would have had to have come illegally from the head coach (!) to the player or agent. Suddenly the NCAA doesn't care.

All the NCAA wants is for people to believe that this issue has not been going on for 6 years, that it is a direct result of NIL, and that the only solution "to save football" is for the NCAA to seize control of NIL, which is working fine in the free market.

Meanwhile the NCAA is still deliberately covering up for Michigan. They have still not said what was on those Michigan computers and why the FBI was involved.

Finally, if there does turn out to be a problem here of some sort, the market will "bake that in" to future NIL dealings. The gigantic amount that is owed to players for back years is exclusively the NCAA's doing. The NCAA buried their head in the sand about the NIL issue for a decade.
