I really underestimated the back injury I got a while ago and I've injured my knee and back twice since I started powerlifting again. Had to take a month long breather but I'm back. At least today I saw some shimmer of hope because I was powercleaning 135 pretty comfortably while the brosephs using the rack next to me were grunting squatting the same weight. Ahhh, that false sense of superiority over the others at the gym, how I missed that. My squat felt disturbingly heavy though at 225 ): I still want to pwn some face in a cage somewhere but that seems like a really distant goal. I think for the next six months or so I'm gonna just focus mainly on getting my squat and PC up and then transition into olys (There are some really nice looking gyms in Toronto where I hope to tailor the progamming towards combat sports rather than just getting as high lifts as possible). I will not go back to boxing, I'm gonna pickup muay thai instead by then (and bjj instead of judo, judo is rough on the back). I'm hoping to do some yoga or something that'll make me more flexible by then (with the help of a physiotherapist). At the moment, I'm pretty damn dumpy. Need to lose some pounds without sacking any gains in lifts. So I think I'll start doing just a little bit of cardio twice a week. God knows my cardio right now is garbage but I don't want to overdo it either and because I hate jogging I will probably start playing basketball again until winter comes and I have to find a new sport. I need to shed at least 15lb. Does anyone here do muay thai? One thing I'm scared of are the stretches.... Unnecessary stretching caused the first back injury I had a little while ago. But I guess since I am NOT putting weights on after, it'll actually be okay? It'll prepare me properly for the striking? http://lannamuaythai.com/cgi-bin/s?c=0&u=0000pr02l00047p_training__stretch_routines.html&m=551037145160802 | ||

You can switch your lifting times back if it makes it easier.... it probably won't affect you much at the moment ''at the moment'' argh that scares me ): So it's ok to change back to working out 2-3 hours before i sleep? O.O i think it has something to do with what i eat after the milk and how much i drink. So i will try to reduce the milk but would that affect my lifts? and i will just eat more digestable foods such as rice and green tea or something after | ||

You can squat all you want. I can still lift you over my head and throw you like you're bitch cake. .Edit: We're pretty much past the half-year mark, and Now, I'm calling this upon every FUCKING body. By the final week of November, it's fucking mandatory to post pics of progress, no problem if there isn't a "before", but I bet my life there's an after. Gogo. Final Week of November! .Edit2: And In case you guys haven't noticed, I and dionocenies created an iPhone App, And this thread was my biggest inspiration for it!. check it out here > http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=246672 gogo :D | ||

Final Week of November! .gogo :D You're on bro! Always, insanely good news, the gym in the place I'll be studying (Middelburg) has great squatting and deadlifting facilities. Also there are a few HUGE brahs there who lift more than decaf haha. Funkie has a point though, we should all start bossing even harder. | ||

Good workout today, worked up to a 100kg single on the flat bench and followed up by 3 back off sets @ 80kg x 5 Also donated blood afterwards. Feelsgoodman.jpg Should I be concerned about my bp being ~145/80? It has been like that for prolly a year now. | ||

Oh man, this thread might just rival (if not beat) the popularity of the NaDa's Body thread in the Broodwar section come November. Don't have pics of myself yet but they'll eventually get posted as ordered by Funkie, so instead I present to TL H&F my consolation meal for having a not so great gym day. (yes there's chunks missing off of my steak, I was too hungry to hold the camera) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1w3XD.jpg) | ||

And I hit 100reps on the jump rope, and I stopped intentionally because my feet hurt... yeah, I am a pussy. I also feel like I cut my rope too short (to be fair, that was over a year ago, I would have been smarter now). | ||
