I think i hurt my hand/wrist today doing bench. I don't have any pain except when i put it in dorsiflexion and put some weight on it. Also hurts really bad in combined dorsiflexion and radial flexion. Pain is located on the midcarpal joint, ulnar side. Already took an ibuprofen and started RICEing it. It doesn't hurt at all when i push around the bones, so i don't think its anything too serious. Any idea what it could be? Also my wrists are really small, i measured them tonight, 17,1cm. At 179cm height. Anyone got smaller wrists than me? :D | ||

Then, if I feel like it I to muscles on saturday and jogging on sunday. I have no ambitions in getting thinner etc. I'm not fat, just got a few extra pounds, but I get the ladies anyways, so I can live with that  I exercise to be able to concentrate better and get more energy. | ||

kaisr Age: 22 || Height: 6'0" || Weight: 178lbs Starting Date: 8/14/11 || Goal Date: N/A Weight goals -- N/A - Not really sure if I should aim for a specific weight, just really trying to look good and feel good - I started off at like 198 with very little muscle mass and a decent amount of fat. I've definitely lost a lot of fat now, but still don't have much muscle mass. Training goals -- lift as much as possible Nutrition goals -- Eating as paleo as possible, right now I'm consuming less calories than I'm expending, but I'm considering starting bulking in maybe like October or something when I've lost enough body fat to something like 8-12% bf or something. Thoughts?? Misc goals -- Get good at Muay Thai, find lifting buddy at Carleton University in Ottawa (will probably blog about at the start of September or something Anyways I've been doing mostly 8x3 of various weight training exercises for like 2 months, but this is the first day I've done SS and will be sticking to it from now till whenever. Bench - 155lbs 5x5 squat - 205lbs 5x5 BO row - 125lbs 5x4 115lbs 5x1 also I suck immensely at doing pull ups, like I can do one and a half, what exercises can I do to help improve cuz I feel doing a pull up is too big a jump for me atm - i've tried lat pulldowns and can do 150lbs 8x3 reasonably well | ||

Drop bench to 120lbs, squat to 160lbs and don't find excuses for not doing PowerCleans, they're Rip's first pick for a reason. Also SS does 3x5, not 5x5. | ||

This happens every year since I don't really have time to work out during the school year and I make up for it during the summer. I finally accomplished my goal of breaking 40 minutes on a 5 mile run that I've been trying to do for a while. (yes, I know that that's not very hard to do, but trust me, it's a lot harder on a treadmill for some reason) Not working out during the winter because of school is the lamest excuse in the book. Organize your time and you'll reap the benefits => better shape all year long. | ||

Why does starting on a lower weight delay your plateau? 1. gives your body a ramp up period to get used to the technique (e.g. neurological adaptation) 2. Allows the muscles to adapt to the damage gradually to as hopefully eliminate soreness which should improve performance 3. Allows sufficient kcal in the ramp up period that the body is already in an 'anabolic mode' which makes the workouts "easier" if you could say that (the body responds better to forced adaptation in a sense). Stuff along those lines... | ||

I was mostly referring to this past year since it was my junior year of highschool and therefore my most stressful year yet. With 8 AP's worth of school work, and SAT's, and clarinet, etc., I think I was justified in not working out. | ||

I don't know why people try to kick the crap out of themselves during high school nowadays. I wanted to take that many APs (but my school didn't offer enough), but in retrospect I'm glad I only had 3-4 a year. Getting college credit is nice, but it doesn't really matter that much in the great context of things unless you're trying to graduate earlier. It's better to only take a few APs and go after a high SAT for a scholarship at a state school or something. Kudos if you can do both, but if it comes at the expensive of other things you like I don't think it's worth it. | ||

Kudos if you can do both, but if it comes at the expensive of other things you like I don't think it's worth it. I'll say from my experience that AP's are basically useless. Only AP English Language exam translates to a credit that's actually worth it (I mean a class that people would actually take - writing 101 or equivalent) everything else is a junk credit that isn't required for a major, unless you're studying history. Hell, the chemistry, biology and physics AP classes don't even equate to the intro level courses that most students majoring in the subject will skip. My high school only offered one AP course; I studied on my own and took two more exams (Bio and English language, school offers english lit.) The number of them you take might be relevant in getting accepted to a very very strong program at a good school, but other than that I don't see the point in them. | ||

What exactly does a regular hs class do for you, though? Most of them are not challenging, as they are designed so that anyone can pass. And in my opinion the AP classes are usually harder than the college equivalent, which means that you get some good experience to learn to deal with a college workload. With my credits I was able to skip the required science class, intro to english, required history credit, and a required math + lab. | ||

However, overloading yourself to the point where you have no time to do anything else is a waste IMO. Enjoy your high school years. Do some things you want to do. I don't see why you would want to claim that you were "justified" in not working out... But anyway, anyone else got any testimonials for me to add? | ||
