I definitely think it'd be worth getting, but a place on the sidebar is a bit much to ask for. | ||

I don't know what brand you are using, but I have tried some tablet form and they were easy to get down. Nowadays, I use sciviation xtend brand, they have awesome flavours and its powder. mixes very easily with water. never had a problem with this | ||

Not to mention that the thread is GROWING like crazy. the last hundred of those pages have taken less than a month for us to go through. At this rate, we're going to be going through twenty pages a day by august unless we change something. Since I've been out of the gym so long, I'm taking a look at all eshlow's bodyweight training stuff. I really actually want to work out, but now it's my mother that's apparently stalling for all the time she can get. It's like she thinks lifting is a bad thing, or something. | ||

So far I've done the routine about 4 times but without any handstand work at all since I'm terrified of falling on my head and injuring myself. Is there any test to measure if I'll be able to hold it without actually trying it or should I just go for it? I have already noticed progress in tuck FL and BL, last time I did about 4 sec holds x5 for both. Tuck planche barely able to hold for 3s even though I can hold frog stand for 60s. L-sit I think might be about 15s at the moment. As I don't have any weights and won't be going to a gym any time soon what should I be doing for leg work? One leg squats? Also some comments about handstand would be appreciated as I don't want to develop imbalances and would like to be able to add it to my routine asap. Just scared. Wall handstand going better than I expected, happy about that. Single leg squats are a bit wobbly but they'll get better. Still have to find a place to do glute ham raises and some padding for my knees I think. Last time I timed L-sit it was 20s/20s/15s/5s, going ok but I guess I'll start doing it with fingers pointed back from now on. Tuck planche still sucking but it's the hardest of my exercises so I'm not too annoyed. Rain has been screwing with tucked FL and BL by making the bar slippery. Still I feel I've made progress and will likely start timing them for 1 minute of total time and when I can hold them for that long on one set I'll try progressing to advanced versions.

Sorry i just realised that some people might think the other planche ![]() Hows the planching for you going? Do you get a bit of hypertrophy and strength from those static excercises? | ||

Do you get a bit of hypertrophy and strength from those static excercises? Oh you mean plank? Yeah suddenly 3 mins seems a lot more reasonable. ![]() My own planche progression feels frustrating at times since I started just messing around a few years ago and got frog stand to a minute quite fast but have since then been inconsistent and stupid in my training so I'm now trying to stick to a recommended program and just be patient. Can't really comment on hypertrophy from my own experiences as I haven't trained the static holds for that long yet but I do feel I've gained some strength though. Once I get somewhat decent at the static holds I might look into a more movement based routine but I don't feel competent enough to make up a good balanced program by myself yet. Here's an interesting excerpt from eshlow's article on bodyweight training regarding strength from isometrics (if you haven't read it) The reason why I like working strictly movements is I want to be stronger in all planes of movement rather than strict isometric positions. Studies have indicate that isometric movements only confer strength within about 30 degrees of the range of motion being worked. For the shoulder 30 degrees is nothing when it almost has 300+ degrees of rotary movement. | ||

Atkins and cardio YESTERDAY - day 2 Woke up at 11, despite setting my alarm clock for 9 - needed the sleep, was supertired. Was fairly hard early on, but it got better into the late afternoon and night. Still decided to spare myself the trouble of exercising, as I was still feeling pretty lightheaded still. Focused on getting plenty of water and cooking myself a nice meal for dinner. DIET I wasn't feeling very hungry throughout the day so diet may seem skimpy, except for breakfast Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs with parmesan, bacon, chicken and cucumber. Carbs 0-2g. Lunch: quick salad in cantina. Didn't eat much - no chicken ![]() Dinner: 180g of salmon, 1 yellow pepper, 3 stalks of celery fried on a pan and 4 cherry tomatoes. Carbs: 15g. Didn't really hit the 20g spot on, but adding 3 cherry tomatoes adds 2g of carbs so doing that makes it easy to adjust. EXERCISE 2x10 minutes bikeriding 10 minutes walking As mentioned above I decided to take it easy as day 2 of Atkins is supposedly the hardest. TODAY - day 3 Felt much better this morning than yesterday and had no trouble going to schol and attending classes. Breakfast went down easier than yesterday as well and I'm already looking forward to lunch in 90 minutes time, a salad again ![]() DIET Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs with parmesan, 2 sausages + ½ cucumber. Total carbs: 6g Lunch: Chicken salad with iceberg, celery, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Total carbs: around 6g Snack if needed: cherry tomatoes - max 6 - and cucumber sticks Dinner: tuna with something. probably throwing it in a salad EXERCISE 5 km slow running, just around a nearby lake. Have to take it easy. 20 minutes of biking on top of that, to and fro school. OUTLOOK: EZPZ Lemon Squeezy. Today is the day that ketosis should set on, but I'm not weighing myself till monday ![]() | ||

Eh I follow his one meal around noon (mines at 1), workout an hour later, and then eat for the next whatever hours. Basically I eat from 1-9. Man the shit up there Advocado! This is the TL health and fitness movement, we don't need sleep - we're men. lol Went into the gym today with 2 and a half hours of sleep to hit it in the morning before my speech/couldn't of gotten it in the rest of the day (haha). Luckily it is deload week this time, I don't think I could of done 245/250 with the little sleep I got. I don't take BCAA's when I do this setup though - Before lifting this morning I had a lot of these fry things that are 13/13/14(fat I think), some milk, a little bit of coffee, and a piece of cheese. 700 delicious calories. :D Deadlift: 135 x 5 x 2 185 x 2 205 x 5 DB Bench Press 25 x 5 (warmup) 45 x 5 x 3 Some dudes were on the bench I think. Didn't feel like asking and didn't have time. Cardio: Ten minute bike @sJarl. I got max week coming up next week, my videos should be posted in 2 weeks... I just got to find some video editing program. I has none | ||

I think it's a bit hard to mix in a shaker, but it's pretty awesome. And advocado, I totally understand what you mean about discipline with sleep. I feel so much better about the gym when I've been getting a full 8 hours. Haji, 3x5 press at 110, nice! Way to get unstuck! | ||
