We did today:
100 burpees (with push-ups)
100 box jumps
100 jumping pull-ups
Burpees ing suck!
I did 5 burpees yesterday.
That's how many times I had to feed my daughter yesterday.
She burps like a trucker.
what are burpees?
I believe it.... I use 80's and I only weigh 155, I'm sure ATRAIN is much bigger than I am.
I'm so glad I don't have to do power cleans anymore since football has been over...I hated them. I wasn't bad at them, I had good form and everything but I just hated doing them. Same thing for squats.
But I can't deny power cleans don't help for football, the motion of power cleaning simulates a tackle pretty well.
it depends. if you want to increase your power or explosive movement in sports?...then yes. i also think they are good for the joints and flexibility.
So do you recommend them for someone who no longer plays compe ive sports? Well unless you count weekend softball hahaha. Oh yeah and then there is boxing. I don't know why but my trainer doesn't like me lifting weights, not sure why?
i'd recommend cleans to anyone who doesn't feel pain (real pain) doing them. if you're not playing sports compe ively you don't have to worry about doing all kinds of weight, just focus on a smooth range of motion with lighter weight.
So the best way to avoid plateuing is to do new exercises for teh same muscle groups? Is it also possible to adjust how fast you do the reps/sets also if I do heavier weight same exercises is that a way to avoid plateuing, even though my body is used to the routine.
What's wrong with reaching a plateau and maintaining it?
Must there be infinite fitness progression and increasing complexification of exercises and workouts?
Not everybody wants to be, and nobody needs to be, a misproportioned, bulked-up body builder or tri-athlete ironman.
I see myself as sort of puny when looking into the mirror and I need to improve. Weight lifting is one of my hobbies, I gotta get stronger or see some result to convince me to keep on going or else I'm wasting my time. Also it's fun for me and something I do when I'm bored. Also you must be well aware that I'm a big fan of Stallone and a semi-big fan of Arnold.

good read on high tops vs. low tops and ankle inversion...
you can do that, but i think the best way to avoid plateauing is your mindset. be excited to workout and make gains...stay focused. your thoughts on reps and weight load should work as well. i change my workout every week in respect to weight load, rep speed, amount of reps and exercises. albeit the changes in exercises are very slight.
good luck...
Thats a good feeling to have after working out.
Muscle milk...WTF is that? Anyone drink this?
It's protien powder with some other .................I've tried it, for me, isn't any different from the other protien supplements I've been taking. The best luck I've had with size and strength is taking GNC's Weight Gainer 1850.
optimum nutrition 100% whey is the best protein powder hands down!
Ya gotta go with the HGH bro!
i started my cycle last month... so far so good. i don't know why people think it's stupid... if you know what you are doing (i researched), then you can make good gains...
I've always wanted to try steriods, see what I actually gain, but never knew where to get them. Plus they don't test for HGH in HS, I could have smashe teh out of some people.
