The Law Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yep I do. I've definitely been missing out big time and I knew that, but I just didn't have time to learn the form. I have pretty weak legs to be honest. Long way to go. They're decently sized, but it's misleading!! I can't wait to make them stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 did you go all the way down on squats? Yes sir. My gym buddy was making sure that I went all the way down (while doing my best to not lean forward!). I did screw up on a few reps where I didn't go down low enough, but he just told me and I adjusted. I found it really hard, AND I LOVED IT!! My legs are so sore, I'm totally 'prison shower' walking today. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamP Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Has anyone heard of/supplemented with micellar casein? Do the hard core gym fiends here follow are super strict diet plan, any successes? or is it just kind of whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 When I'm cutting - hardcore strict diet, that cuts out fat. Watch the carbs on days I'm not working out. High protein always. During bulking - initially, when I had time, I was doing a super clean bulk - low fat, high protein, not too strict with carbs. Lately, I have NO TIME to cook or prepare my foods, so I'm not doing a super clean bulk (although, not letting myself go completely). Strive for AT LEAST 150g of protein a day, minimum.

The Law Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 yes drink milk! I love milk. bulking and cutting ? hmmm... i would do some more research because "bulking and cutting" is an extremely inefficient approach. lift hard/heavy multiple times a week and try to keep your rest interval as short as possible(but still recover from your set). have a good diet (lean proteins, lots of veggies, nuts, olive oil, etc). and maybe run some sprints/interval training and there is no reason why you shouldnt get leaner while getting a lot stronger. also i dont think "bulking" means eating unhealthy foods but rather having a calorie excess(but those extra calories dont necessarily come from unhealthy foods). That's precisely what I meant. If I'm trying to lower body fat, I remove that calorie excess, increase the amount of cardio I do. If I'm trying to put on mass, I eat a bit differently, in the sense that I eat more. Although, trying to create this calorie excess while being completely healthy is a bit difficult (especially if you're a grad student who's never at home). My goal right now is to try to put on about 10 more lbs, then do my best to lower my body fat... planning on doing that by eating a very healthy diet, using HIIT 2-3x/week, and continuing with weight training.

Out of curiosity, what kind of HIIT are you doing? Mine's been relegated to stair sprints since the winter started (no indoor track nearby). Dash up 5 stories, walk briskly down, repeat four more times. Take four minutes break do again (and maybe again, depending if I have time). Only problem is I broke my nose again recently and anytime I get my blood pressure up, the thing starts spurting like a fountain. Means longer breaks. BTW, any of you guys do plyometrics? Obviously great for sports, but I've been wondering if they have any other benefits (apart from explosiveness)... Mass, strength, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind_synergy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 That's hot. I have this recurring nightmare of a hot muscular blonde who seduces me and proceeds to suffocate me between her massive man-thighs. That picture's not helping.

That picture's not helping. I'm sorry, but I just had to laugh at that image. Partly because when I was in my fourth year I was cycling all the time in hilly terrain and my friends joked that I had rock-crushing-thighs. I'm not blonde though, so you don't have to worry.

Your dash up 5 stories-walk briskly down seems great. Since it's winter, I usually just relegate HIIT to the treadmill. I like to do 1 min-1:30 of sprinting, followed by a 1 minute jog... and then 1 min-1:30 sprint, followed by a jog... repeat for 15 minutes or so and listen to some really fast paced music to keep me motivated! Kinda boring though, I'd find it way more fun to dash up and down stairs. At least it'll feel like I'm doing something then. God, I gotta get myself in cardio shape again. That, and I've been being a bit too lax with my diet the past 3 weeks - time to clean up my food choices! I have this recurring nightmare of a hot muscular blonde who seduces me and proceeds to suffocate me between her massive man-thighs. That picture's not helping. Nightmare... that sounds like my fantasy... i mean... WOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaM Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I like Dance Dance Revolution for intervals. If you alternate between the hard and normal settings it's great and 20 - 30 minutes flies by. Not quite HIIT, but very, very fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeman101 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 LMAO!!! SHAKE WEIGHT IS AWESOME! All I can think of is strapping something long and thick on one end and giving it to a woman. Or as an aid for men if they run out of cardio... in bed. OMG this is the greatest invention ever!

Leon Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I thought this was the best way?!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7xrr8XQ_-Y That's probably the most hilarious ad I've ever seen. Clearly it was designed as a multi purpose device. Or as an aid for men if they run out of cardio... in bed. OMG this is the greatest invention ever!

AndreaM Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 The funniest part is that the shake weight was originally designed for women and they made a bigger heavier one for men later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind_synergy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 This ever happen to anybody? I was working out today, well-hydrated and well-rested, and everytime I would start pushing myself, I'd get a pounding headache in the front of my head (i.e. doing the last pull-up of a set). I'd get dizzy and the headache would subside a little with some rest but it was consistently occuring. I had to take tylenol to stop it, which worked.

I've only ever felt dizzy and like **** after doing some heavy deadlifts, never gotten a headache. However, I have a love-hate relationship with caffeine, and I find that during caffeine withdrawals if I push myself physically I'll get a terrible headache that feels like it's coming from the front of my head, but if I relax it'll go away. Is this the first time you've had this happen? If it's not a recurring issue then I probably wouldn't worry about it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
