This is what I snack on at work... Sometimes it even my lunch.

Some tuna pouches. ( I like the sweet & spicy the best). StarKist® Pouches | StarKist

Pure protein bars. Find the Right Product | Pure Protein - Power Your Purpose

and lots of oranges...

Invest in 2 25lbs dumbbells. That's where you start (lighter if that's too much, heavier if not). Start your workouts at 3 sets of each exercise. Since you're new, don't bother with splits, go full body.
Over head press 3 x 10
Squat 3 x 10
Curl 3 x 10 (both arms, total 20 reps)
Lunges 4 x 10
Press 3 x 10
If you still have strength, 3 x pushups to failure
Rest 30 seconds between sets, 2 minutes between exercises

Follow program until you can do 25 reps, in each set of each exercise..... then buy the next weight up

Program is a M, W, F... T, TR do your cardio. Sat and Sun rest, and count calories ( no need on other days, because what eat is what you probably need to grow stronger.... well assuming you're not eating 3500+ calories)

Thanks! That's a lot of my problem, is just knowing where to start with strength training. I've been working with pull ups/push ups but seem to have hit a plateu after making big process quickly.So many conflicting articles online, and I don't know anyone who works out to give first hand help/knowledge. I appreciate it!

Ya, tuna is already a big staple in my diet. I guess I should of stated that I need ideas that are out the oridinary or something I'm not thinking of.

Peanuts?

If you get in a few days of cardio, push ups and pull ups is all you need, depending on your goals, and even if your goals are to get massive, push ups and pull ups are still part of the plan.

To lift weights on the cheap buy a few jugs of water. A gallon is 8lbs and you can easily find 2.5 and 5 gallon sizes with handles. Those are usually a couple bucks each. And you have your water preps taken care of too!

For you guys looking for healthy high-calorie food, peanut butter is hard to beat. They make it with honey in it now so it's super tasty. 2 tablespoons is 210 calories (16g fat, no cholesterol, 120mg sodium, 10g carbs, 7g protein) and dipping your granola bar in it means you can get 500 slow-release calories in about two minutes. Walmart has a 28oz jar for like $3.64.

^ That does not sound fun

our WOD today was:
5 rounds
10 med ball squat clean wall balls 20#
5 burpee pull ups

took me 9:50 and I was wiped. We then did two rounds of two minute Tabata jumping lunges, wall ball twists, four position planks and whatever you call it when you smash the heavy ball from overhead down to the ground. Ugh.

Another ~90 min Tuesday PT session in the books. Balance training with medicine balls, squats, leg extensions, leg curls... I'm going to miss these "rehab" workouts.

I want to try peanut butter but it's hard to find and expensive over here, not really a popular product.

No prob. I like pull ups and push ups, and actually IMO you can get pretty ripped from doing those as strength training exercises. The problem, at least with push ups, is that you have to do so Damn many. Pull ups on the other hand, are the holy grail. If you can knock out 25 in one session, you are either really skinny, or really fit. I think I'm in good shape, and I can do a max of 12.

How can you guys be the best cooks in the world, and not have peanut butter?

Recently added Freeletics to my workouts for when I can not get to the gym or am short on time. You can follow the program via web or by phone app.

It sucks so bad but in a good way.

No peanut butter?!?

That means you've never had a PB&J sammich!!

Just signed up for a GORUCK Tough event down in Indy in September, on 9/11 anniversary weekend. Looks like it'll be an interesting night. From what I've seen, it'll be a mental as well as physical struggle.

I finally was able to increase my 1 rep max on the squat. It's now 205lbs.

Shoveling to the garage later to fire up the snowthrower counts as cardio...right? (The gym closed at noon due to this blizzard).

I tried peanut butter when I was in the States.It was a while back, not sure if I liked it.
That's exotic food over here so it's harder to get and more expensive.

Not sure if I had a PB&J sandwich though.
