Basically I would like to put on mass THROUGH strength, with strength being the primary goal. From what I've been able to determine in the last 7 months of lifting, my upper body seems to progress EXTREMELY slow - I've only been able to add 45 pounds to my bench, and 35 to my press. It does however recover quickly. I've never felt under-recovered on an upper body exercise, while I do all the time on squats/deads. I suppose I'll start doing cardio now. I'll start with maybe cycling for the rest of the semester, and when I get home, I'll swim in the pool in my back yard. I already do some ab/core work, I don't see how it could need an entire day though. Looking into that west side and 5/3/1 program now rosa, thanks You can check out the bodyweight strength article here: http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2010/03/the-fundamentals-of-bodyweight-strength-training Or you can stick with core stuff like bench/press/rows/etc. while you're hurt. Basically just pick something like 2 press, 2 pull for the upper body and that works as well On March 26 2011 01:26 APurpleCow wrote: Over the past three or so weeks I've had pain in my right knee whenever it's bent and has any weight on it. I can walk and run without any issues since my leg is mostly straight when it has weight on it, but even climbing stairs is painful. There's nothing visibly wrong with it, no bruising or anything... Any ideas on what's up? See an orthopedic doc.... likely meniscus issue | ||

So Glad to see so many people have joined us since last year. This week sucked. My gym was closed for 5 days with no reason. Yesterday I took it easy: 102kg 3x5 squat 70kg 3x5 BP 120kg 1x5 DL AND IT WAS SUPER EZ :D This Coming week I hope everything goes smoothly, today I went to "warm up" and I ended up doing a full set of 6x3 power Cleans with 55kg  it was light but fun as fuck. Yay! :DAlso started doing Press, and it seems like I am in the same situation as decaf, If I don't warm up my shoulder it's going to bitch on me so hard. :/ So yes! Let's keep at it ppl! Gogogogo :D | ||

My right hand was bothering me before I got sick anyway, so hopefully it's healed up. Actually, maybe I should ask about that.... It was only while bench pressing... Do a "thumbs up" and run your finger down your thumb and to the bottom of your hand, especially around the base of the thumb (where the thumb connects to your hand), that's what was aching. Any ideas on how to prevent it in the future? | ||

 Too bad I'm too stupid to fix my injuries earlier. lol I started putting a lot of extra work strengthening exercises after my workout. Started to bench(db) again regularly. Need to strengthen my pull and upperbody the most. I think the amount of core work I do now really helps in my stability. Does anyone have any ideas for exercises to help with the pull? I'm thinknig more back extensions, rdl, and pulls off blocks. | ||

Russian/chinese programs have a lot of other exercises.

I could probably stand to add in additional upperbody work given my legs are probably leaps and bounds ahead. Not to mention it would probably be beneficial for rugby. ankle felt like garbage today after running on it yesterday, did some RICE so hopefully its good to go for my game tomorrow. We beat this team 67-5 last time we played them so hopefully its an equally epic beat down ^_^ | ||

While I didn't gain any significant weight during this month, I've worked myself up quite a sugar/carb addiction. When I walked down the sweet aisle at the market today (it's between the meat section and the cashier), I started salivating (Pavlov was right about conditioned response). I resisted of course, as I know that in only a week I won't have any cravings for that crap at all. Robb Wolf's advice on how to prepare meals has helped me tremendously. All I do is throw a protein, two to four vegetables, and then two to five spices into a frying pan, stir it a few times at medium heat to brown everything, cover for five minutes at low heat, and eat. My main vegetables are spinach, cabbage, peppers, onions, eggplant, and I'm going to pick up some sweet potatoes soon. For proteins, I'm eating just about anything that was alive at one time--lots of pork, lots of chicken, some beef, some shrimp, and plenty of fish. Paleo is easy! The pain in my hand is coming back from when I hurt it in the summer. I was talking to an athletic trainer and I commented how I injured my hand and it took over 3 months to heal. He told me I probably fractured a bone in my hand back then and I didnt let it heal. Too bad I'm too stupid to fix my injuries earlier. lol lol, may want to hit up that doctor now  . | ||
