Just a guess though   Under the Bench press, with barbells. What you reckon, in your opinion is the equivelant with dumb bells? When combined weight is 145 if I + the weight together, so I'm somewhere between novice and intermediate, wuhu!! i don't really know the answer to either of these. i'm pretty sure it's good to eat a meal within an hour or two of your workout, but that's based off what everyone who seems knowledgeable says, i don't understand any of the biochemistry behind it, seems logical in a simple kinda way though. in terms of body composition though meal timing seems to be a pretty minor issue, if it is one at all. certain ways of timing meals might help with compliance and such but if willpower is not an issue then getting the same breakdown of macronutrients (protein/fat/carbs) should get the same results, pretty much regardless of timing (within a 24hr period). lyle mcdonald has good nutrition articles on his site if you want to get into it a bit more: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/ i haven't read most of them but the ones i have are very informative and high-content. not sure about bench barbell vs dumbbell.

Just skimmed it, defintly looks decent. Thanks

I tend to have a very low bmi. I've gained & lost as much as 20 pounds of muscle at different points of my adult life (135lb 8% body fat -> 155lb 6% body fat) and the above is exactly how it works. it can be very very difficult to maintain the proper eating habits without immense discipline or an attraction to food

I think it's my sleep, that I on a good night wake up 20 times, and that I never have a propper rhythm, and very bad sleep.

btw def agree that push-ups are good, no need to get rid of them. if anything i'd ditch the Leg Press machine and do Glute Ham Raises and some other thing if you need something else for quads. my quads grow like weeds so i'm not really familiar with assistance-type exercises for targeting them but there has to be something better than doing leg presses.

pull-ups/chin-ups are super awesome and don't require any particular kind of equipment so i'd do those for sure, just my 2c.

mm, I love the two last ones. I keep re-trying from time to time, but also really difficult for me to do, due to stupid/limited shoulder movements.
But I'll keep "testing" until I can do them.

I do shoulder mobility exercises every day, and hopefully, eventually it'll be 100%. Then I'll jump on pull ups and chins, pull ups were kinda my favorite xD or top 2

Reading this atm: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/muscle-gain-mistakes.html

cool, glgl

After going through all the articles, that one I felt would be most benefitial for me to read. Starts with some of the stuff 20content took up.

Really liked the end of the article for some reason lol:


an insidious (and stupid) idea that is out there (especially in the realm of bodybuilding) is that trainees should focus on irrelevant things: the feel, the squeeze, the pump. This is crap and guys who do this, unless they are on drugs, simply don’t grow. Muscle grows as a function of progressive tension overload, if you’re not adding weight to the bar over time, you’re not growing. This doesn’t mean that you have to add weight at every workout, but if you’re not gradually going heavier over time, you won’t be growing either.

+ Show Spoiler +

I wasn't calling you out on your shoulder injury, just saying that it doesn't prevent the rest of your body from exercising. I know nothing of your condition but i hope it has passed. You work out and i applaud that but i might be biased because to me gaining weight seems easier than to lose weight. I've never been under or overweight myself so i wouldn't know for sure. Are you doing mobility exercises for your whole body or just the shoulder? Is it stretching or strength conditioning (active stretching)? Shoulder must be the most complex joint and it is a real chore to get it working properly again. From what i've heard from a friend who had shoulder injuries you're supposed to do exercises through pain so that must suck. With that said, if something is difficult or hard for your body to do you should be doing more of it and less of the easy stuff. If it is difficult for you to squat, do assisted squats. Exercises for your ankles and hips help aswell.

mm, after my disease my small intenstence, or how you spell it stopped taking up complicated stuff, around 40 types of sugar. So what I can eat is extremly limited. And that helps the problem of not gaining weight, It's an interessting conondrum. Doctors and stuff seem to be finding the problem interessting, and I keep getting sent forms for research, and it's like every shrink in the building want time with me. Pair that with insanely fast metabolism = constant same weight.

I got so mad when they kept saying the same shit "ahh people think they eat more than they do, ahh, they eat a big meal and BLAM think they ate a lot, and don't eat for 5-6 hours".

So I started recording my eating, took pictures, and calculated calories, and tried for a 1 month to lie around 5500 calories a day. Go on the scale, exact same weight.

Now I'm even more confused, all that energy has to go somewhere, something has to happen to it, I dun get it. Maybe it just uhm, kinda passes through, and I poop it out? No idea, lol.


A little scared of doing exercises that hurt the shoulder, my first fysioterapaut gave me, and they were extremely painful, and he had diagnosed me wrong, and he then later found out it was a frozen shoulder. (Thanks to me, I started studying my symptions and found out he was wrong with his diagnosis). And then I got told to not use it for awhile.

And then I only walked trips n shit, I know I should have trained more, but was in too much pain to think clearly for too many hours of the day. Maybe if I had been even more bad ass I would have lol.

When i had my knee injury (trauma) i went to a number of specialists and did all the tests. TLDR version is doctors are retards and it is easier for them to say you will never be able to do x y and z and if you continue doing what you do you might need surgery and wheelchairs and what not. After visiting countless dumbasses finally one orthopeditian recommended cycling and swimming and getting a knee strap. So that's where i got started with rehabilitation. My chiropractor is so badass he showed me a couple of exercises and doing them religiously got rid of the pain fast. After that i visited a professional rehabilitation nurse or w/e you call her and had a few appointments with a physiotherapist who works with the chiropractor. Improper training methods (right side much stronger than left, compare Nadals arms for example) coupled with the knee injury caused problems in the back. Back to the drawing board it was. From experience i can say doing exercises is key. From what i read about frozen shoulder syndrome you should be doing exercises every day religiously. And while at it, do some squats, you will see improvement for sure.

I definitely agree wholeheartedly with your last post.

I feel I want to do A LOT MORE than I'm actually doing atm, but in the past I've been known to suddenly get immersed, addicted, lost in whatever it was I was seeking out. So being maybe too careful now.

Like when jogging, I hate the first 7 min, so hard, then next is easier, when I start to get really exhausted, and willpower kicks in, I start to become really happy and I want to go faster, go more. Like I want to keep going till I pass out, feint etc. (So now I stop myself at 20 minutes, and I stop the urge to go max speed and sprint till I almost pass out).

Before when I was younger and jogged, I often prepared for it, like I'd imagine best way to "fall" when I feinted. When I was feeling "trollish" I'd call to get a mate on a cycle with me to take care of me when the collaps comes. Just stupid shit (See how long I can jog at pretty good speed), and I keep at it for over an hour, and then when I'm so exhausted I feel like I'm on my limit, it feels as if the body start doing magical shit, you feel sensations you've not really felt before, like weird coctails are being made. So instead of stopping, calling it quits, I try to sprint, see what happens, and I go for max speed, see how many minuts I can do it.

Then well yea, usually not that good ending.

BUT, I feel I've learned from those mistakes (the being a retard mistakes). Well not 100%, but gotten a lot better at not being a full fledged retard.
(Kinda like the Greeks you might say, suffer my way to wisdom, yay).

okay that makes more sense
in other words it's a subtle troll you're going for
i might try that out myself

cariadon + all,

I would be interested in a stretching/yoga thread. Flexibility, mobility, inflammation, muscle balance, skeletal balance, posture are my biggest weaknesses right now and tend to always be my reason for sticking points/injuries. I would imagine a lot of people on this site are in similar boats with all the chronic sitting and computer usage many of us have had in our lifetimes.

It doesn't help that many of the repetitive bending, twisting, reaching actions in sports are pretty brutal on the body regardless of proper technique, warmup, care, etc.

I guess the biggest key is everything in moderation but moderation is probably another weakness for many people on this site.

Thanks for the book recco's.

I bought one of them thingys that count the steps you take here the other day. And I'm still doing that "ninja" 5 min every morning for mobility, feels pretty good.

And I tried to take to heart that shit about getting up every hour and stretch, a few minuts break. Also that tip about, after having eaten a heavy meal, I go do some dishes, or some housework instead of laying down.

So far so good, feels pretty good.

Could use some better strech exercises maybe after having jogged, I just stretch whatever feels good for 10 - 15 minutes, mostly the normal, standard stuff.

LEt's see, I walkted 6503 steps yesterday!! I wonder if that's good lol. Think ur suppose to try and be around 10.000 each day or something along those lines.

wtf is this i dont even....
