I was used to being on the ice 3-4 times a week, running 5k 3-4 times a week, and doing random bw and endurance focused exercises or circuit type of routines at least 5 days a week for a total of >2hrs a day. It's a big difference going to a 45 min, 3 days per week routine. I felt absolutely like I had enough energy left over to race an airplane cross country on my bike. | ||

Keeping my head up isn't normally a problem, was too worried about the camera. Need critiquing. I plan on maxing out on monday/wednesday in squat... On another note, since getting involved in lifting or whatever, has anybody else started to just need physical activity? Before this I didn't do too much physically, but yesterday I just had to go run for a little and later in the night I couldn't sleep, so I took a half an hour walk around 11:30 in my neighborhood. Just wonderin. Your wrists are bent which ideally they shouldn't be. If you don't have the shoulder flexibility to straighten them then move your hands a bit wider and stretch more. | ||

 Meat and cheese pizza, loading up for the hell that was promised tomorrow. The plan is to start with snatch technique works, then 1-arm ultra heavy (starting at 45kg) db presses, then log presses, moving on to farmers walks and sled dragging and to finish things off: atlas stones, starting at 135kg which is 10kg more than I've ever done. I'm going to sleep so good tomorrow night lol | ||

Squat: 3-4-2 @ 275 lb Really surprised at this since I cleared 270 so easily last session; maybe because I went jogging yesterday? Press: 5-4-4 @ 135 lb Improvement from 3-4-3 last time. Clean: 155 lb x 3 x 5 I've been practising form at 135, and today decided to move it up to 155, cleared it really easily and felt really great :D | ||

Snatched up to 95kg today (form is feeling awesome) i'm getting a way better pull and doing a getter job getting under the bar and im feeling my arms loosen up (damn early arm pull). Clean feels pretty good, but i just did PC up to 90 to work more on my jerk which is fucking awful. I want shorter arms and faster legs  working 5 days a week + mid week trips to college = 5 hours of sleep a night(maybe) and desperately smashing milk and chicken in attemp to keep my diet up. also too much mcdonalds. brb trying to eat 3k calories in one sitting. edit: decaf eat 4 eggs + pound of pulled pork +sweet potato + milk. decaf happy | ||

Squat @ 275x5x5 -- Went ATG as opposed to parallel today. Feels pretty good. A little bit more explosive getting back to parallel and then powering through. Bent over barbell row 155x5x5. I don't know what it is with this.. I feel as though I have good technique and a straight back but i'm getting a really tight lower back on both far sides. Also i'm getting a pinch on my left wrist. Not sure at all. Full retard on this. DB bench 75 pounds each so 150x7x5 -- Feel like I can move up in weight. Aiming for the 100s in no time. Too paranoid doing regular bench without a spotter. parallel bar pullups 6, 6, 4 -- i'm too fat. -_-/ GG! | ||

I want to do the bodyweight stuff, because I'm hoping it will help my upper body - I've had almost NO strength development in it since ~february. Been stuck benching between 135 and 150 ever since. Even just tonight, trying to get up into a handstand, as well as holding a frogstand, and an L-sit, just "testing things out" I'm feeling more tricep and shoulder work than I've ever felt on SS. Maybe I'll be able to get some BW work this summer, and only need to do leg training at a gym; this is also absolutely something I could continue in my dorm next semester. I'm excited. | ||

On meat: I've read that lean meat is great for you, but there are also scientific studies out there that link eating meat to cardiovascular disease. That being said, most of these studies don't differentiate between processed meat and unprocessed meat. Bacon, in this thread, has been recommended to me, for example. But this is generally a processed meat that is high in sodium and fat. Maybe not so great? But wait! Studies say that neither sodium nor fat are bad for you... and others say it is! What do I believe? Lunch meat: Processed, so clearly bad, right? But apparently it depends on the lunch meat. Just like bacon, some people say there's nothing wrong with it, even though it's processed. Some argue that the preservatives and "cures" have no proven health hazards. The main complaint about bacon and lunch meat tends to be nitrates, which can be carcinogenic. False, by the way, according to a great deal of studies. Also, vitamin C neutralizes it. What's bad about the nitrate that they use to "cure" this food then? On fruits: On the one hand we have people saying that eating fruits needs to be limited, because they are essentially candy that grows on trees. On the other, I've read that eating fruits is a valid replacement for both carbs and fat as an energy source! What!? Eggs: Doesn't seem to be a consensus on whether these are good or bad. Whole grains: I've read that any kind of grain contains anti-nutrients. I've also read that these so called anti-nutrients have been linked in scientific studies to be beneficial. I've read that grains are the cause of all our suffering... but also seen claims that only processed grains have been linked to health hazards, not whole grains. There are claims that whole grains in limited amounts can be very healthy as they have plenty of nutrients. No consensus here. Milk: Milk has tons of nutrients, and in the bodybuilding.com forums I've seen it recommended to drink lots of it as it helps build muscle. BUT! Oh my god, milk is processed, stay away from everything except organic or raw milk. What? I ask you guys what you think about these debates. Is there any general scientific consensus here on what is healthy and what is not? Because so far the only consensus I've seen is that vegetables = good, and heavily processed foods are bad (poptarts). But past that there seems to be an awful lot of debate. The bottom line: I've thrown out most processed food in my diet already, including things like poptarts, pizza products, chips, crackers, soda, cereal. But the question of milk, bacon, lunch meat, fruits, and whole grain bread is an unsolved mystery for me. I don't particularly want to give any of them up, but I've seen evidence go both ways for this stuff. | ||

(eagerly waits in excitement) jk here it is: + Show Spoiler + On May 23 2011 08:22 eshlow wrote: Ugh, I don't really want to go through this again but why not one more time. 1. Looking at dietary cholesterol intake impact on specifically oLDL which is a predictor of atherogenesis there's actually a negative correlation. Those who have the highest intake of cholesterol have the lowest production of atherogenic oLDL http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15164336 This is why studies that do not distinguish between different types of blood lipids and the subclasses aren't really very useful. Oh, your LDL is high? That must mean it's bad....... when that's actually not true and if they're all bigger LDL molecules are relatively harmless. 2. The evidence vindicates saturated fats risk on heart disease. http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2011/01/does-dietary-saturated-fat-increase.html http://www.ajcn.org/content/early/2010/01/13/ajcn.2009.27725.abstract http://www.ajcn.org/content/80/5/1175.full.pdf html <-- decreased risk in post menopausal women with increased sat fat intake http://healthydietsandscience.blogspot.com/2011/03/high-saturated-fat-diet-gives.html http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/content/78/11/1331.full.pdf etc. In the same line this is why whole milk is healthier than skim milk: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2010/12/dairy-fat-and-diabetes.html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16904009 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20372173 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17925824 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11350992 Another interesting article that was ahead of its time: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002934396004561 3. The inflammatory model of atherogenesis (auto-immune, neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, etc.) fits the best. Inflammation leads to oxidation of the molecules within the body and increases insulin resistance. A. Trans fats are a major cause of insulin resistance and inflammation in the body. B. Excessive intake of refined carbohydrates, especially fructose C. Excessive intake of Linoleic acid (in huge quatities from industrial seed and vegetable oils). Omega-6 proinflammatory biomolecule when it gets converted into other things in the body. D. Gluten which we will talk about in a sec. In addition, there are other various contributers via E. High stress all the time. Stress increases insulin resistance, and production of cortisol (which decreases inflammation in short term but chronically there's a lot of negatives). F. Lack of sleep. Increases insulin resistance, and inflammation. G. Lack of exercise (exercise increases insulin sensitivity among other things). H. Lack of vitamin D Re vitamin D studies see: http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/10/a-closer-look-at-vitamin-d/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21513491 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20216204 I. There are some other factors such as smoking etc. Check out the ACSM or AHA risk stratifcation material on exercise testing which shows the major risk factors for more details -- age, family history, cigarette smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia*, pre-diabetes, obesity (by waist circumference), sedentary are all significant risk factors. *dislipidemia is outdated as stated above without more specifics. Pre-diabetes/diabetes are obviously an issue as stated before. 4. Gluten. Again, celiac disease is an official diagnosis which hits somewhere like 1 in 133 of people. But there is also such thing as gluten sensitivity which causes symptoms such as poor digestion, bloating, farting, etc. (See for more symptoms: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003123.htm). Here are obviously some studies on emerging stuff on gluten sensitivity: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1954879/ http://gut.bmj.com/content/early/2011/04/06/gut.2010.232900.abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21443726 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21392369 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21378766 <-- gluten involved with some pathogenesis of IBS http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21224837 http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=when-and-why-did-everyone-stop-eati-2011-05-10 http://robbwolf.com/2011/01/12/hey-robb-this-person-said-gluten-free-diets-are-bogus/ wheat and china http://rawfoodsos.com/2010/09/02/the-china-study-wheat-and-heart-disease-oh-my/ http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2008/07/wheat-is-invading-china.html Wheat may cause auto-immune development: http://perfecthealthdiet.com/?p=911 And of course the huge review done on DGAC last year criticizing the health statements of "whole grains" (among other things listed above): http://www.nutritionjrnl.com/article/PIIS0899900710002893/fulltext | ||

some people eat grains; some people only eat whole grains. Some of us eat a lot of fruit, some of us drink protein shakes. Friends of mine at school who are into lifting swear by lunch meats, especially because the alternative is often skipping a meal. Find what makes you feel good, and what works for your situation. Really, your universal rules are the most "correct" things you're going to find - avoid things that are processed, and make sure to get your veggies. The rest is up to you. | ||
