Only have to hope that I don't need surgery on this knee. Still haven't gotten my MRI, but now it's completely random and unrelated to what kind of work/movement I've done recently as to when it decides to hurt. So there's really nothing I can do for it. BTW Eshlow, what do you do/did you study/etc. that gives you all this ridiculous fitness knowledge? The stuff about nutrition and lifting and all, I can understand picking up over time, but when we all go to you for injuries, I wonder where this treasure chest of knowledge came from. Explain? | ||

As of right now, there are no exercise limitations, other than not to exert too much pressure on your neck" Now can anybody help? Can you do low weight squats and deadlifts? That's a good place to start. If the back is still ailing you can go with some isolation such as reverse hyperextensions or possible back extensions to start as well That doc is good... situps are terrible in general.

I'll probably get a gym membership if I can when I go home - there's a place in town that I think has a summer deal for college kids... But for the first threeish weeks I'm home, I'll be working daily with my dad to build a cross country course at a local high school, and I don't think it'll leave me much energy for hard lifts. If anything, I'll go light two or three times a week just to keep everything together. I'll definitely be getting a full body workout on this job. Cutting and hauling trees, moving rocks, planting grass, spreading wood chips, not to mention running the 5km course a hundred different times. Basically endurance work in 80 degree weather that still demands significant strength. Fuck yeah, gonna keep me from getting to exhausted with lifting, and keep me going strong the rest of the summer. I'll spend the rest of the time basically at the gym, and hopefully volunteering at a hospital, so I've got now until the end of august, with only these three weeks (and finals week) in between to stay away from drinking, sleep well, lift heavy, focus on my diet, and get that extra 20 lean pounds I want in order to be almost-decaf-sexy when I get back for the fall. lololol, maybe I'll finally squat 300 pounds by then, and I can start looking at oly lifting 'n shit.

The stuff about nutrition and lifting and all, I can understand picking up over time, but when we all go to you for injuries, I wonder where this treasure chest of knowledge came from. Explain? Doh we'll see about the knee I guess. :\ About 6 years ago I started reading a lot on the interwebz about training.... then about 2-3 years or so after that I started reading up more about nutrition..... then about 1-2 years after that I started reading up more about injuries which has led me to my current career choice in which I am in school now for physical therapy. Basically, I've learned about 98% of what I know from the internet which means you can too if you know where to look and are willing to read up on things. :p Used to be huge into debating stuff regarding training/nutrition/injuries but not so much anymore... but you do learn a huge amount from doing that because you actually have to research to back up your position and reconsider points if someone has better arguments/research. | ||

I guess going 2x a week and seeing how it goes would be a good place to start? Workout A on Monday and Workout B on Thursday or something like that? I keep reading that you don't want to mess with the program at all but then again I guess concessions need to be made if I'm going to be doing lots of other activity. I'm wondering if PTTP would be a better choice. 2 sets of 5 reps for just Bench Press and Deadlift with the second set at 90% of the weight of the first. I asked Pavel himself and he said that it can be done 3-4 times a week in conjunction with other sports and martial arts. But it seems that you prefer sticking with SS with less volume Eshlow? Although I'd love the best of all worlds and it would be great to get strong and add a lot of lean muscle, I think my goals for the summer at least are more along the lines of feeling energetic, having fun and getting cut up. | ||

To be fair, you have some seriously natural athleticism .Today I learned a hard lesson: don't fuck around with Olympic lifts. I wanted to practice overhead squatting and I figured 50kg would be a good place to start. Well, I tried to snatch that weight up over my head, fucked up with my form, and ended up doing some sort of funky shoulder lift to get the bar over my head. After that I couldn't even manage one rep with overhead squat because I didn't have the balance. Shoulder hurt for a while after that :\. I couldn't complete my overhead presses today because extending my arm hurts my rotator cuff. I'm gonna have to RICE it up for the next couple of days and hit the gym hard on Sunday. Anyway, today ended up being a pretty easy lifting day due to my fuckup. I practiced cleans and snatches with only the bar, and I have to say I'm feeling a lot more confident. I'm really getting that second pull down on the clean and being quick under the bar. The only thing that's hard for me to figure out right now is how to NOT slam the bar into my knee yet still drag it up my thighs while extending my hip in the first pull. Also, I don't want to hit myself on the balls with the barbell again. I think my nuts are still swollen from that. Anyway, today's lifts: Overhead squat: bar only, 5x5 Overhead press: 1 set of 55kgx5... I'll do 55kg again and then add 5kg in the next session. I've done 70kgx5 before, but I'm still kinda resetting here. Clean: 50kg and bar-only practice. Snatch: bar-only practice and my retarded attempt to snatch 50kg without knowing how. Chin: 3 sets of 7 each due to my shoulder (didn't feel like I could perform any pushing motions). Despite my screwy workout today, I'm feeling a lot stronger. I'll be like Dimsum and Decaf in about 12 years at this rate ;P. | ||

If you're lactose intolerant like me you're F'ed tho ^^ For bulking on a budget, I like to recommend the organ meat of dead things--liver, sweetbreads (not actually bread!), kidneys, heart, and tongue are dirt cheap pretty much everywhere because of the "yuck" factor associated with them. In reality, they're pretty fucking tasty and have ridiculously good nutritional value. Of course, I wouldn't eat only these sources of protein, as that can cause high uric acid levels and subsequent gout. But, I have liver a few times a week, and I recommend it to everyone else here. | ||
