I think I might start doing cleans and front squats before I run; front squat I sometimes do after back squats, and its obviously compromised. Power cleans (and i'd like to work on full cleans) seem very limited by me doing heavy deads before them. I don't have the explosiveness that I feel I could. As long as I eat well, and get my eight hours of sleep I feel very recovered and am itching to work out on my off days... i feel more alert and awake on days that i lift,and i cant give that up! I think I'll throw in these exercises before I run. At least technique and flexibility work.

Also, I want dimsum's gym. Anyone here who performs a deadlift over 40kg seems to think that it requires bumper plates to do so; there's only ONE oly platform in the whole place.

Anyone have a way to consume creatine in a passable fashion? It was threatening to come straight back up

Also, jumped my squat from 120 lbs to 135 cause I was doing it with another guy who was doing much higher. Didn't feel too bad since I was already doing 175 for reps before SS. It wasn't heavy but I was losing some speed on a few reps. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?

green mag by controlled labs is a refreshing drink, but a bit pricier.

Are you trying to mix it in water? It takes so much fluid to mix that that could be the problem. I have taken to just pouring a spoonful on my tongue and swallowingit with a few mouthfuls. Little gritty but no problems.

Losing speed will happen. Keep pounding out those reps.

As far as feeling sick... his soon before the lift do you eat, and what are you eating at that meal?

I put creatine in my post-workout shake, tastes slightly worse but barely noticeable. If you don't drink protein shakes I don't really know, you'll have to mess around
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

I'll just mix creatine (unflavored monohydrate) with water. Tastes like water, need 2 glasses to get most of it down because it doesn't mix well.
Phyres suggestion with spoonfull in mouth and swallowing it with water works too.

I used to do what glurio does, but I found myself needing 64 ounces of water to get everything out of the glass. This way is just easier.

It probably doesn't help that I'm in the loading phase lol

I've done most of my training fasted. Don't want to risk throwing food back up during the workout
I just have some BCAA before heading off to the gym and sip on in throughout the workout.

I find I feel worse fasted than when I eat 2 or 3 hours beforehand. Have you tried non-fasted?

Not really an option for me atm since I'm trying IF and my community gym is full of retards in the afternoon & evening (it only has 1 squat rack so I need to go there early).

@ffgenerations, did you look at the shopping lists in the OP? You might get some ideas from that.

@phyre, the gym only looks that nice because the owner of my gym donated equipment there haha.

Hey guys,

I'm again giving losing weight a shot while working out a little more rigorously than usual.

Two questions:

1) Sore muscles the next day - should I try ignoring the pain and still work out ot should I cool down and give myself a break every other day? The workout seems pretty inefficient, though, if I can't so it more often than thrice a week.

2) This is awkward... Is there a way to time the process of uneating (you know what I mean, don't make me say it) so it always occurs in the morning? Being at school, I use the facilities very reluctantly and I want to avoid it entirely. A mug of coffee doesn't always do the trick...

1) I personally recommend you join the Starting Strength train!! Everything you need is in the OP. After a while you won't be nearly as sore, the first few work outs are the worst. As a beginner you don't need to work out more than 3x a week, in fact, doing more than this is may be detrimental to your long term development.

2) Dunno, maybe someone else has a method for regulating bathroom time.

I live in Copenhagen, train (and work) at CrossFit Butcher's Lab and Garage :-)

PR power clean today, 110 kg. Very solid lift, I think I can get 115 too. But that's for next time!

Edit: Lower back is destroyed after PC and deadlift. Good thing it's weekend now.

1. What is your workout?

2. What is your diet? Diet affects digestive issues.

1) If something hurts, don't ignore it. But if it's just sore, it's no problem. You're very likely to be sore when starting something new at least in my experience. I started a new program recently, and atm I'm hella sore just about everywhere. It sucks (I walk funny and can't raise my arms lol) But I know it'll go away in a week or 2 at most; I don't delay my workouts for it.
Also a 3-4x per week fullbody routine is right on the money for pretty much most lifters. Since you're asking this question, it's probably ideal for you too. Rest is super important. Take a look at Starting Strength, it's designed to bring all parts of you up to speed, conquer any weak links and just basically make you all-around stronger and bigger. No fluff, just a fullbody barbell workout 3x a week.

2) I think you just have to figure out how long it takes for you to digest the food that you eat via experiment. At least that's what I did. If it helps, I eat at noon, 3pm, 7pm and 10pm and uneat (cute word) every morning and occasionally evenings.
(\o/)  If you want it, you find a way. Otherwise you find excuses. No exceptions.

Attention:

I finished creating the rest of the sticky threads proposed by zatic in this thread for the new forum.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11078061

Since I have to maintain those I am not going to start any of the other specific threads unless the other members want me to.

Remember, that you need to maintain threads that you start so..... feel free to rip any material from the OP of this thread if you need it (to start the SS thread for example) or any of my other posts. Additionally, feel free to request that other members help you out as well.

I may create the bodyweight thread is there is some interest for that because that is my primary area of expertise.

I'd be willing to create and maintain a basketball thread. Im sure that we have both some highschool kids who play on a school team, as well as people like myself who play intermural and pickup - hell maybe here's some college varsity players around TL. Its definitely a sport that would merit its own thread... just have to make sure I don't turn it into a "do SS" thread.
