But when you "get" them, and can start to add weight, they're SO AWESOME Bro's (like me  ) in the gym use their benchpress/deadlifts as a way of determining how strong they are, but the most accomplished lifters use the snatch/clean and jerk.keep it up! | ||

Apeshit go time real soon. Untill that time should I just stick with crossfit/machines and random dumbell exercises, or try deadlifting and stuff already? Seriously though, you guys are going down. I would go with squats and deadlifts and such already. Just use the wiki I referenced in the OP for now and focus A LOT on technique.

(@eshlow). starting to get a bit fascinated by calisthenics, some of the stuff is really sexy :X See the bodyweight article I put in the OP. Specifically, the exercise/resources section you should go to drillsandskills or beast skills for some of the handstand stuff you want to learn. | ||

I feel like an idiot every time I go to the gym cause basically all I can train is core, light biceps curls and light squats. Surgery in about 6 months, if that goes wrong I will seriously get depressed. SLAP tear if anyone wonders. Take it from a guy that learned it the hard way, don't mess with your joints. You really don't know what you've got until its gone. Pre surgery you basically want to strengthen everything up as much as possible. Anything non-painful is generally OK though so that may add some more exercises you can do. I have a post shoulder surgery post written somewhere that i can give you once you get closer. But yeah, strengthen everything as much as possible because it will help in the recovery because you'll experience significant atrophy | ||

Anything non-painful is fine. BUt in general shin splints tends to be poor technique coupled with overuse. Make sure you are learning how to midfoot strike when you run..... heel strike is the fast way to shin splints and other injuries. On June 22 2011 08:54 MajinMojo wrote: OK so I finally found the only common denominator for my splitting headaches while lifting. It is apparently ::dun dun duuun...:: HUMIDITY. A few weeks ago there were a number of sessions where I'd get a baaaaad headache every time I lifted. Like it was really debilitating to the point where I either couldn't finish my workout or had to take a really long break, bump my weights down a bit, and do as much as I could manage. So today it was humid as shit and during my work sets for squats I started to feel unnaturally light headed again and it took me FOREVER to catch my breathe in between each set because of the heavy air. Damn squats took me like half an hour. But I managed it well and wound up able to finish my whole workout without the actual splitting headache. Just took it slow. Squats took a lot out of me though because I was trying really hard to concentrate on not getting a headache but at the same time I really wanted to push that weight. Last set probably was the worst looking set I've ever done but finishing that 5th rep felt awesome haha. I think somewhere in there, probably 2nd and 4th reps I almost stalled because I let myself rock way too far forward on the way up, but was able to correct myself before my form fell apart. Can be really any number of things. Valsalva is fine, but make sure you pause between reps to breath if this is the case. As opposed to forced exhale and inhale on descent. Make sure you're coupling breaths between sets right Make sure you're not hyperextending/straining your neck massage and soft tissue work may be a good idea as well | ||

If you have cravings for salt you probably need some. On June 22 2011 13:29 Release wrote: Is raw milk better than other milks? I heard it has lots of nutrients that fat reduced milks don't have. If you can get raw milk go for it. I've only heard good things about it and would love to try some myself. And yes, the fat is good for you. | ||

Yeah, I just started doing interval training after just kinda lackadaisically doing distance cardio for months, I don't think my legs were ready for the change. | ||

Follow up question: To improve upper back tightness I also tried a narrower grip on the bar, and tried to raise my elbows. Which worked well, however what happens then is that my wrist bend in, pretty much like this picture here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Lifts#The_Squat Any tips to avoid that? Also, I feel what is holding me back most on the deadlift is grip strength. I am currently at 110kg and I know I have more in me, but I can't hold the bar for 5 reps in a row. I don't want to use any aids yet. What exercises can I do to improve grip strength? ah zatic, we have the exact same problems on squat (back + shoulder + wrist) and DL (grip) | ||

I'm not very educated on what she needs and don't want to cause any harm, so I was wondering what you guys thought. Thanks! I'm not sure, but I think paleo diet is actually perfect for diabetic people. wait for a nutrition expert to confirm this though.

I can't believe how hard it is to resist the temptation of giving into lifting. Luckily it's been getting better and getting about an hour and a half of sun today while slowly mowing the lawn sure helped me feel energized. Gonna take it easy and just keep on stretching and resting until at the very least Friday. more vitamin D! | ||

I'm splitting right now, but getting a little frustrated with lockout and the degree of shoulder rotation. I can lock it out where its bone on bone if I just rotate my shoulders back as far as I would in a squat jerk. This is a little bit uncomfortable and if I do it for several days in a row I get shoulder pain that goes away after a few days. It takes me a long time to warmup if I lock them out this way, and it gets the job and I never have to worry about pressing out. If I try and lock it out to the distance that most people do, to more like a regular press, I often have soft elbows when the weight gets heavy. I think doing more clean sots presses might help me with this. I can clean grip overhead squat (from the bottom position in a power rack) a bit under what I can jerk , but I could only sots press 40kgx5. | ||

Are you taller than tall, or is that building just strange?Seated press doesn't use enough of your body imo, much more of a shoulder isolation. | ||

Seated overhead press is the best solution then i think. | ||
