But Shaul gave me a great gift that day, cluing me in to a little secret: True sport-specific training, for literally everybody except elite athletes, isn’t sport-specific at all. It’s about getting strong, durable, and relentless in simple, old-school ways that a man can train, test, and measure. amen to that! good (albeit a bit long) read  http://www.mensjournal.com/everything-you-know-about-fitness-is-a-lie | ||

67kg (147lbs) on 180cm (5'11") on 05/09/2011 I am gonna do the Practical Programmin Novice Programm which looks liek this: Monday 3x5 Squat 3x5 Bench press / Press (Alternating) Chin-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps Wednesday 3x5 Squat 3x5 Press / Bench Press (Alternating) 1x5 Deadlift Friday 3x5 Squat 3x5 Bench Press / Press (Alternating) Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps My first day was: 3x5 Squat 50lbs 3x5 Bench Press 90lbs 1x7/1x6/1x5 Chin-Ups I am feeling pretty well after my first session and actually thought that the squats weren't too hard, but when I started getting up some stairs I realised that it was pretty Ok tho  I am gonna add 10lbs for starters every training and I guess after like 2 weeks go down to adding 5lbs. I am really looking forward to this now and I am so pumped :D Thanks for all the support from you guys! Edit: I should maybe add my weight goals, which would 75kg until 07/15/2011. I think this should be doable if I eat enough. I don't have any goals regarding lift weights yet, since I just sarted and I don't care about "toning" or anythign liek that. I just want some bulking done and get some strength for now | ||

I realized any weight loss you want to incur from running is better achieved by diet. I'd rather go for a 1.5hour walk on a diet than run for 30-45minutes anyway to supplement weight loss. I also realized that my VO^2max is quite decent from lifting heavy shit. my workouts aren't intense, I take long breaks, but lifting close to your max and going all out leaves your breathless, especially on deadlift/squats. Strength Training doesn't increase VO2 Although I like weightlifting, and I agree if you don't like cardio you shouldn't force yourself to do it, there are obviously benefits to cardio and it sounds like Tyler likes it. | ||

The SS program is all about loading your body up to lifting heavy shit OVER TIME. You don't want to stall out in the first month, you want to stall out after four. Stick to 5 lb increases on the bench, and 10 on the squat and 15 on the dead. Lower those even more when you first stall out. (2.5/5/5) It will take longer to get to the heavy shit, sure, but you'll continue increasing past where you otherwise would have stalled. | ||

See a specialist as well perhaps? http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/08/on-tendonitis/ Mobility, eccentrics, heat if ice isn't helping, light stretching If it's patellar it should be on the patellar tendon. If it's deeper then it's not patellar and you may want to see a doc | ||

If it doesn't resolve within a day or two I'd see a chiro or PT who can put it back in place. Otherwise, use heat and do light stretching, and mobility. Usually a subluxed or slipped/stuck facet joint | ||

Did you bench yesterday? and perhaps rest your head on the bench while doing reps? | ||

I have a few vague goals in mind and that is to lose weight and have a better diet. I'll make these more specific in a minute. Right now my current situation is that I'm a full time student and I teach as well as playing in symphonies so I keep myself busy with work school and travel. This affects my diet in that I eat a lot of fast food, I rarely ever prepare anything outside of ramen or some quick pasta in my home. I went on a steaming kick a few weeks ago where I was steaming vegetables and fish but that lasted all of like 5 days before I just couldn't have enough to eat, and I was always hungry. I tried throwing in rice but it was so tasteless in the mix that I couldn't bring myself to eat it. A major problem I have is that I eat too much every time I eat; I eat past the point of being satisfied and always end up feeling overfull. And I just know the portions I'm eating are way larger than they should be. My current body type is at least slightly overweight but not terribly bad. I'm 6'0" and weigh about 220lbs without a muscle mass to my name, so a high body fat percentage. I have a gut which is the number one thing I want to get rid of, so I can just have a more uniform body style and fit into a normal medium sized shirt. So what I really need help with is finding a way to fit a healthier diet into a really busy lifestyle, something that doesn't take much TIME to prepare, in enough variety to keep my unfortunately low will power personality entertained to keep it going. Also exercise ideas to go along with this would be wonderful. Thanks for any feedback, I look forward to getting myself healthy this summer. | ||

Are there any exercises that I can do to help with this besides just watching film between sets and conscientiously trying to thrust my hips forward? work cleans from high hang. This will force you to throw your hips faster and get under the bar. | ||
