that could be the difference between usually taking a dump before the gym and not shatting tonite.

anyone tried the salmon burgers at costco?

[kevin7352]

went to the gym today for the first time since last week and got the headache again after 2nd set of LIGHT squats

[Excelsis]

now i know what's it like to be really demotivated

went to gym with pulled hamstring, attempted to do squats, hurt like hell

tried to go past the pain but hurt even more

[Fcukedd]

Why would you squat with a pulled hamstring to begin with?

[MarkyMark]

Wait, you mean you pulled your hamstring, tried to push it in the gym, and it didn't magically heal as you squatted? Your form is probably off man.

[Excelsis]

didn't hurt extremely bad so i just went for it

[MarkyMark]

Should listen to your body, pushing yourself when you're sore is one thing but pushing something when it's a legit injury is only going to make it worse.

brb..going to the playground

Drinking destroyed my gains, My last squat day (2 weeks ago) I squatted 2 sets of 3 @ 315
I squatted 1 set of 3 @ 295 yesterday, I swear i thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head



edit: I had a "leg machine" day after being hungover last week, but that was so pathetic I don't even count it.

Crossfit: The White Papers

Crossfit?

Great article: http://startingstrength.com/articles...ve_gillian.pdf

My form was an abomination, but my fast Grace time (30 Clean
and Jerks, 95lbs for women) was celebrated, and the loss of form due to exertional fatigue was equally
celebrated. After all, I could move 95lbs from ground to overhead 30 times in under two minutes

That does not make me an athlete; it makes me a very fit exerciser with total disregard for the
potential for injury and a lack of respect for the sport of weightlifting.

The last line is bang on.

She's got a point

I never understood why other bodybuilders would split their upper bodies into three or four
days and then devote only one day to “legs”. I knew from Anatomy 101 and Physiology 101 that at
least 60% of your muscle mass is located below the waist – so give it at least 60% of your training time.
Some of the best advice I got was from the film “Pumping Iron”. Schwarzenegger said that you have
to squat to grow

Al Kavadlo – We're Working Out! » Getting Your First Muscle-up

Muscle-up Tutorial - YouTube

I learned how to do muscle ups by trial and error. Once I was able to do one, I started watching videos on form and technique. Really shoulda' Googled it first.

Right now I can do 8-9 muscle ups with a slight bend. 5-6 with straight legs. But hardest of all is doing a muscle up from a stand still position and no momentum at all. Those, I can get one (maybe two now) up =]

[TouringTeg]

Damn muscle ups look tough! Never even heard of them.

After a full year of Stronglifts I have switched to isolation with 25-30min HIIT after each 1 hr work out. Goal is to lose fat and retain as much muscle as possible. I am eating mainly lean proteins/veggies/fruits (every 2 hrs) and limited carbs. 4 cheat meals per week.

I'm 194lbs, age 31, been lifting for 2 years. 1RM PRs are Squat 310, DL 315, OHP 140, Bench 210

Tues - Shoulders/Tri/Abs
Thurs - Chest/Bi
Sat - Legs/Back/Abs

Any suggestions?

[RRxtar]

since so many of you are doing muscle ups that they arent even cool anymore, now you guys gotta do em on the rings.

[exdee]

i findem easier on rings =/
