SICK!! im jealous have you tried power cleans for your vertical? or how are you planning on achieving your goal? Yea I power clean alot. I can 3 rep 225. Now I believe I need to do alot of plyometric exercises and whatnot. I'll probably be doing alot of wall jumps and other light things like calf raises. I may also try jumping with things like a weight belt on to see if that helps as well. | ||

I'm buying tons of soda while typing! lol A peer-reviewed study published in the August 2007 issue of Food and Chemical Toxicology found that those who frequently consume sweetened soft drinks do not have a higher obesity rate than those who rarely drink them. The study found higher obesity rates correlated with several other factors, such as the amount of time in front of the computer or TV, or the consumption of high amounts of dietary fat. (15) I love studies funded by the Corn Refiner's Association. It's like if you take every sentence in this paragraph and change it to the exact opposite meaning, you have a very valid study on your hands.

Age: 23 Height/Weight:5'8 150 Today's workout was: Squat 185 3x5...had some shitty form on my 2nd/3rd rep of the final set...corrected it and pushed out those final 2 reps pretty flawlessly I think. Press 95 3x5...first time doing press so I just focused on getting the proper form down. Deadlift 195 1x5...my form was shit so I went back and did 135 1x10. I finished with a 60 second plank and lots of stretching to deal with my ITBS which has stopped my from running for a couple months now. I had a lot of fun doing the press for the first time. Whenever I got the hips involved and did a proper rep I felt like a boss. I'd say I only did it properly about 25% of the time though. Time to read and watch some more videos! | ||

1) Deadlift 3 times a week, thoughts? I feel recovered after the two days, is it too often? 2) Usually 36-48 sets a day: 24-32 low rep - 12-16 warm up. Not doing SS but that's not overworking if it's 18(12 of those low rep) sets per muscle group? 3) Cardio after workout? 7mph for 30 minutes, will I be losing anything from the workout? 4) Sitting press vs standing press? 5) Been doing some research, hardcore weightlifters EDIT: I ment hardcore powerlifters...look ugly - is doing low weight high reps good instead of sticking to 5~? Or do I want to build strenght first then worry about that? 6) Inclined bench - is it just me or is the standard bench at a really huge incline, feels like Im using my shoulders a lot more than chest. 7) Stretching - Do you guys do it? Does it greatly improve keeping the muscles range of motion? 8) If I have lots of time on my hands, is there any way I could get stronger and more muscular faster than using SS without resorting to steroids, having 4 hours available everyday; there has to be something extra. Those are all my concerns at this point. Thank you in advance. | ||

If you're going lighter on one or two of the days then it'd be okay I think. 2) Only heavyweight weightlifters are ugly. Down at the lower weight classes they look pretty good. Generally you'll want to build strength first. 7) I'm a firm believer that everyone should do some form of stretching or mobility work. | ||

Those are all my concerns at this point. Thank you in advance. I'll help ya out, but check out the link above too. 1. No. After you get your weights heavy enough (I don't know what you lift tbh), you won't be able to recover fast enough if you use that weight or more each time. 2. ...I don't know, depends on the intensity. 3. Go ahead. 4. Sitting ---> Less use of core + back + lower body to keep tense and tight to get under the bar. Standing is the opposite. As a result, Sitting is easier than standing. 5. Uh. I don't know what you mean by hardcore lifters? These are all "hardcore" lifters. http://www.wannabebig.com/training/being-real-an-interview-with-fma-invain-and-behemoth/ http://jcdfitness.com/2011/08/attention-women-heres-proof-that-lifting-heavy-weights-will-not-make-you-big-and-bulky/ Just bodybuilders/fitness models, because power lifts and olympic lifters are too shy to expose themselves in group settings  And yes, I just posted that second website because it is a bunch of hot women who love to squat and deadlift, and thus instantly makes me fall in love. Still Hardcore lifters to say the least. 6. You are. I use an adjustable bench for when I bench and just raise it to the first notch. In contrast, a real incline bench is probably 3 or 4 notches up (I think, wouldn't know, never used it :D Just a guess) 7. Yes. Everybody does it. Dynamic/Static. Most people foam roll as well. I probably should too. 8. Sleep more. Eat more. I'm not too sure. You may have a lot of time on your hands, but you become strong as you rest, not when you are actually in the gym. Yay for being helpful :D | ||

Those are all my concerns at this point. Thank you in advance. 1) should be fine if you can handle it. 2)Seems like a lot of volume, 18 sets per muscle group?? 3)depends on your goals 4) standing. While sitting you might use the bench for leverage. 5)That's probably the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. What the hell do you mean hardcore weightlifters look ugly? 7)stretching is very important imo. Yes it will improve range of motion and prevent injuries. 8)You can definitely build up to working out for four hours a day. | ||

Could you expand a little bit more on #8 (: It's just what I understand - I dont want to do any more exercises with SS because then I overwork my muscles, but SS itself is a very short workout, what would I add into the workout to add benefit? | ||
