This thread has mainly developed into a Weightlifting thread, which is a little bit unfortunate and the reason why we are trying to get a sub-forum, where we can split stuff up into running, lifting, gymnastics, whatever your heart desires basically. edit: I was surprised there is nothing about injuries/injury-prevention in our OP, or maybe I am just blind... Besides that, I feel that a lot of the stuff you have posted on the last page seems questionable or even flat out wrong to me (and I don't say that because I believe that lifting heavy weights is the only way to achieve health and fitness). ==> Cardio helping with Pull-Ups? Only in the sense that if you lose 5kg by doing cardio those Pull-Ups will get easier. There's definitely been nutrition and sleep information (which is all VERY important to have down when you're talking about your health) posted throughout the thread - but sleep is something that most of us either have under control, or have decided to sacrifice. Nutrition is an extremely complex topic that is probably best served on sites that are able to go more into detail, beyond the basics (for example, I eat paleo and just started leangains. If you want to talk about those, I'd be happy to.) Weight lifting on the other hand, while being a topic most of us still understand is two important things: 1. It's a draw for new members to the thread. Every SC nerd can come in and want to look awesome, and they see this discussion here and (hopefully) are motivated. Even if they aren't willing to dedicate a LOT to this, one hour 3x.week is not a LOT. 2. It's a way to keep the rest of us honest. I'm not going to come in here and post "oh hey, slept for nine hours like I was supposed to, and ate all my meals with the right macros" - but I AM going to come in here and say "hit a new PR on Deadlifts. Really excited and great workout overall" then continue on to give someone advice on a question they've asked. @Malinor: If you've got good form on your lifts, injuries aren't the most common thing around. If you ARE suspecting an injury, then that's probably highly individual and dependant on what you've been doing/what you've been doing wrong... So unless I'm someone who knows I have bad knees, I'm not going to worry about knee prehab/rehab... And if I have bad knees, I hopefully have learned by now how to take care of them. | ||

Just read a few articles about intermittent fasting and I'm intrigued, especially because of the said mental benefits of not having to worry about the diet as much as with 6 meals a day pattern. Martin recommends having the fast-breaking meal before workout. This raises a question to me since I tend to workout in the evenings, and currently it's part of my routine to go for a lunch at work around mid day, so there's around a 6 hour gap between lunch and working out. This means that it would be impossible to fit a post workout meal in the 8 hour eating window. I wonder if this can be managed without me becoming socially awkward lunch skipper at work. I've got a PDF somewhere that is what you're looking for... There are different meal timings for people on different schedules. The one PreWO meal works best for college kids like me, who will eat at eleven and lift at 2. For people with real jobs, you might need something different. 16/8 also might not work for you - for some people, especially women, he recommends 15/9. Play around with numbers a bit. http://doubleyourgains.com/musclebuildingmastermind/The_Leangains_Approach_Final.pdf And for me personally, it's not eating at night that's a bitch right now =/ I'm used to having something (cup of milk and some almonds even, 400 cal) right before I go to sleep, but now I'm up 4 hours every night not eating. | ||

Anything else is really just you being lazy with your diet. The 10 sets of 3 today went very well. Did a walkout with 200kg on my back. I'll be continueing doing so in order to get adjusted to it. Had to wear a hoodie in the last 4 sets since my shoulders were so raw from the new knurling on the bar. | ||

I don't understand why that's the only exercise excluding DLs that deviates from 3x5. My guess is that it's harder to create linear progression with chinups/pullups as opposed to barbell exercises, but Wait around for someone who's more educated to give an answer. | ||

I did read the OP which was fine, but yeah this is definitely a weight-lifting thread not a fitness thread which is why I questioned it. Sub-forums would be a good idea. | ||

 Name: infinity21 Age: 22 || Height: 5'11" || Weight: 165 lbs at 15% bf Starting Date: Aug, 29, 2011 || Goal Date: Dec 31, 2011 Weight goals -- 170 lbs at 10% bf I want to get stronger and leaner. Going to try leangains first to see how it works for me. If I can't make good strength gains, since it takes more priority for me atm, I might go for 185 lbs at ~18% bf then cut. Training goals -- No idea if I'll reach or exceed any of these but might as well have some #s squat - 300 (175x5 atm) DL - 300 (haven't started) BP - 185 (125x5 atm) press - 130 (haven't started) Chin-ups - BW + 45 lbs (BW+25x1 atm) Nutrition goals -- start eating more paleo. I have no problems cooking stuff for myself but often skip out on veggies simply out of laziness so that is something else I need to fix. Misc goals -- Learn SAS over the summer, become a better singer, get a 87+ avg in uni next term | ||

Yes there is a lot of posting related to lifting weights, and you are free to talk about other activities like others in this thread. There is no need to whine about it though. :/ btw I think this is klokov's youtube channel! He is the olympic 2008 silver medalist in the 105 category. One of my favorite lifters. | ||
