Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
On this whole running/walking debate....If I'm not mistaken, don't you burn a higher percentage of fat when walking? You won't burn off as much as quickly as you would if you were to run, but I'm pretty sure walking burns a higher percentage of fat.
Anyone have sporting injuries that hinder their workouts? I don't run because I did a number on my left knee and ankle over the years and running is pretty high impact. I use an elliptical machine now for indoor cardio which I think works pretty good.
Skating also is a great cardio exercise; it gets the blood going and will strengthen the legs/hips/ass. If I ever get around to it, I'll post examples of some of the power skating exercises I used to do. I could run full speed for say 10 minutes and won't get blown up, but do some of these and I'm gasping for air real quick.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
Nothing major. Martial arts garners a lot of injuries but they all heal pretty easily.
I used to religiously swim like atleast 1 KM daily. That was probably the easiest full body exercise I've done.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
New PR for me today! 205 lb Push Press which is a 30 lb PR for me. I was shocked to see my PP go up that much as the only thing I've been doing Push Press wise lately has been high rep work from 135-155.

Congratulations. Who gives a shit about your weight? I hover between 174-181 and struggle to hit 285x3 and that's only 100 lbs more than my body weight. Pretty big accomplishment, keep at it.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
Nolo King wants to know where to purchase some good fish oils!
Also, a buddy stated that vaginal liquids give an individual an acceleration in work out productivity!
Simply curious to know if this is true or false, lawls!

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
Starting the dirty 30s next week. Three working sets of 30 reps for each exercise. Three exercises for each body part. Check your ego at the door and get ready to hurt like you have never hurt before.

I got a 195 push press, my goal was 185 so I'm satisfied. It's max week so here's my numbers from when we started in november to now. We didn't test push press the first cycle.
squat - 205 - 255 - 300
bench - 200 - 215 - 235
incline - 170 - 195 - 215
power clean - 160 - 175 - 200
push press - (didn't test) - 165 - 195

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
I recently bought some whey protein (2kgs), but I'm not too sure on how much/ how often I should take it. From research I have found two conflicting ideas: taking it after workouts or taking it daily.
Would I be better taking a small amount each day, or would I be better only taking it in larger quantities after each workout? In addition, when is the best time to take whey protein?
Is mixing protein with creatine supplements okay as well?

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
For whey protein I have a shake after I workout and then on days I do not workout, I just have it randomly during the day. I have read a lot of stuff where guys are drinking them two to three times a day, which for me and probably yourself, you do not need to do.
Just take the scooper that came in your pale and that is good enough or whatever the recommended amount is on the pale.
And yah you can mix protein and creatine.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
Im 5'9
Weigh anywhere between between 170 to 175 pounds.
I work out to get/stay lean so i don't use a lot of heavy weights, although i make sure to up the wights i do use a little bit every two weeks so my body doesn't get used to them. Its more about repetitions for me and doing a variety of different work outs the correct way with good form.
Im working towards my muscles having definition, i don't care really how much i weigh as long as i look good.
I started P90X two months ago, it works pretty well. I love the plan they have because your working out everyday and it gives a variety of ways to meet your goal, whatever it may be. Push ups and pull ups are a big part of it, so your working with your own body to shape it. Although, i hate the instructor for the videos, Tony. I wanna punch that fucker sometimes. lol
Ive seen a lot of improvement in my arms and core.
My legs and back have always been good because i used to be on the drum line in high school. Marching with a heavy ass drum for 4 years will give you strong legs and back, but i still want definition in them as well so i don't neglect them.
I used to jog 2.6 miles (according to google maps) three times a week but my knee started fucking up so i stopped although now because i have more strength in my legs I'm gonna start running again.
so that's it
if you guys have any suggestion for me it would be greatly appreciated =)
